"As an aside, I find it interesting that to accuse the Jews of genocide one must go back three millenia. It would be nice if this were true for all the earth's peoples, wouldn't it."
Well Biblical accounts and current activity suggest that when "they" are armed, organized, and formed in a "state," they are perfectly capable of the same kind of violence/genocide as any other state. I would guess that their "clean" historical record is more the result of their dispersal than of their peaceful bent.
