Should modern Israel be held responsible for the invasion of what became Israel and the slaughter of all the various people who lived there? We're talking written biblical "history" here.
Something people often seem to forget is that the first country the Nazis occupied was Germany.
And, no, the Nais did not occupy Germany. Antisemitism is a deep rooted part of German culture. By not destroying the antisemitism in their culture, the Germans are committing a grave crime.
I encounter a little anti-semitism here in NZ, along with a little anti-Muslim sentiment.
Should those people all be punished for opinions?
But there's evidence that some of the events in the bible did happen. Certainly not the supernatural parts, but other parts have been verified by archaeological evidence.
Dying to live, living to die.
