The leading factor of the Holocaust was the desire by Nazi leaders to proclaim Jews as the cause and reason for all German problems, including the lost war of World War I and an economic depression. Jews have been the victims of expulsion, torture and murder for countless generations, dating to their slavery oin Egypt, to Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Christians (The Crusades), English (The English Expulsion of 1299), The Spanish Inquisition (1492) and Hitler's genocide of the Jews in the 20th century.

Anti-Semitism has been endemic throughout history in the Middle East, in Europe and beyond. Christians have told lies about Jews to their children for countless generations. Muslims have followed suit. Yet, Jews predate Muslims in Israel by 1,000 years and Jews predate Palestinians in Israel by even longer. Clearly, Jews have lived in Israel long before any other living people. One cannot occupy your own land. Israel was Jewish at least 1,500 years before Palestinians existed.

But, because Jews are a benign people, traditionally without powerful armies, they have been the subject of prejudice, bigotry and blind hatred. It is always easy to hate those who hold no power over you.

Jews could not protect themselves from the mendacious Third Reich of Germany. As a result, six million innocent Jewish men, women and children were murdered.
