If the Zionists keep it up next time it'll be justified.

This will never happen as the elimination of Israel would eliminate one of the major reasons for our Forever War or Last Crusade, however you want to call it, that our economy has become addicted to. The Military/Industrial boys will never give up their “Big Teat in the government sky”. They would all have to make a profit in the private sector where $500 hammers do not sell very well.
The loss of Israel is not as important as the loss of profit.

FYI, there have been several Holocausts since WWII, they simply did not involve the Jews, ask the people of Cambodia, Rwanda and China to name a few, we have learned nothing.
Mass crimes against humanity and genocide since World War II

I don't think the whole sale slaughter of people as occurred under the Nazi's will occur again, and especially to the Jewish people, but genocide is still a problem in the modern world, and the United States and other countries don't always intervene.
Yea, but in the case of Israel specifically, how likely is it?

Zero to put it mildly. So, i really don't get what he's saying. I don't really think Ben Stein cares too much about Rwanda or Bosnia. At least that isn't my impression.

As I said in my previous post, I seriously doubt it will happen to the Jews again, especially in Israel.

If Iran did decide to get stupid with a nuclear weapon, it would be the last mistake they would ever make.

Does there exist a topic in which abortion can't creep its way in?

Laws that can be overturned or ignored at the blink of an ayatollah's eye are worthless.

Another Holocaust can't happen again? Please... For a more current example look at what's happening in Syria. People are being slaughtered and Assad is basically giving a big middle finger to the rest of the world because he knows we won't do anything about it.

If Iran wanted to commit genocide on the Jews, they would do so at home first, where it is easiest. But they don't...

That's mass political murder, not a "Holocaust"--which is popularly taken to mean "genocide." And even at that, what government, when threatened with extinction, doesn't fight back by killing people?
