[lbo-talk] Nazi Holocaust and American Settler Colonialism (was Ward Churchill. . . .)

[Chris Doss]

I think a clear difference between the H and the
genocide of the American Indians is the speed and the
sheer non-practicality of the mass killing of Jews in
the former (as Justin has mentioned). If one looks at
a parallel between Manifest Destiny and Nazi practice,
it was the Slavs, not the Jews, who were the American
Indians. They were to be killed/displaced from their
land and that land resettled by Germans -- not much
different from MD. Jews on the other hand who were
citizens of places like Germany who were killed were
not being killed so their land could be appropriated
-- they were killed because in Nazi metaphysics they
are inherently evil.

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
