What's the difference between you and a holocaust denier?
"In 1983, French scholar George Wellers was one of the first to use German data on deportations to estimate the number killed at Auschwitz, arriving at 1.613 million dead, including 1.44 million Jews and 146,000 Catholic Poles.[80] A larger study started later by Franciszek Piper used timetables of train arrivals combined with deportation records to calculate 960,000 Jewish deaths and 140,000–150,000 ethnic Polish victims, along with 23,000 Roma and Sinti,[81] a figure that has met with significant agreement from other scholars.[82]
After the collapse of the Communist government in 1989, the plaque at Auschwitz State Museum was removed and the official death toll given as 1.1 million. Holocaust deniers have attempted to use this change as propaganda, in the words of the Nizkor Project:
Deniers often use the 'Four Million Variant' as a stepping stone to leap from an apparent contradiction to the idea that the Holocaust was a hoax, again perpetrated by a conspiracy. They hope to discredit historians by making them seem inconsistent. If they can't keep their numbers straight, their reasoning goes, how can we say that their evidence for the Holocaust is credible? One must wonder which historians they speak of, as most have been remarkably consistent in their estimates of a million or so dead... Few (if any) historians ever believed the Museum's four million figure, having arrived at their own estimates independently. The museum's inflated figures were never part of the estimated five to six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, so there is no need to revise this figure.[79]" @ link to en.wikipedia.org

I think the only way forward is to drop being Jewish [first] and to concentrate on being human [like everyone else] and stop being/becoming anal when the word Israel is mentioned. I've never seen, met and talked to so many intelligent individuals who throw every inch of coherent thinking out of the window the moment I suggest 'we're doing something wrong here and the path we're on is leading nowhere.'

@ seethelight,
I just realized that being critical also entails to having to be just and fair. Although I'm uber-critical of the State of Israel's wrongdoings, I have to be/remain honest and see what the west is doing for what it is as well. We're a Fff-ing arrogant lot that loves to police the planet and have no homeys and only care about our [own] hood. Our drones kill without consequences, without justice, without everything I stand for and believe in as a human being, so Fff all that. Fff Israel and Fff us too.
'It's under investigation.' Been there a zillion times. However, when reading comments all over the web about Israel, I do see a huge change in people's perspective of the state and it's not a favorable one at all. This immature arrogance and spite is backfiring big time. Onward to the promised land... yey!

Ness: Anything within the law.
Malone: And *then* what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they’re not gonna give up the fight, until one of you is dead.
Ness: I want to get Capone! I don’t know how to do it.
Malone: You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That’s* the *Chicago* way! And that’s how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I’m offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?
Ness: I have sworn to capture this man with all legal powers at my disposal and I will do so.
Malone: Well, the Lord hates a coward. [jabs Ness with his hand, and Ness shakes it]
Malone: Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Ness?
Ness: Yes.

I have this agreement with animals [like flies, dogs and sharks]: I know what you're about. As long as you don't attack me, we'll live in peace and harmony. The other option is obvious.

The human body's magnificent in many ways. It can survive being exposed to heat and cold by shutting down or giving up on certain less vital parts [like fingers/hands/toes/feet/ears/lips]. In case of a hunger strike the devastation is far more severe, because in its attempt to protect the most vital organs that ensure life itself, it starts to digest its own muscles. Needless to say, they'll never come back, thus even if these hunger strikers are set free, their lives will never be the same [those who've been on a hunger strike beyond 6o days].
The DA is protecting the victims... [so we don't know who the other 90 perverted guys/rabbis are]. Good to have justice on your side?
@ Seafoid,
Obviously I was wrong in my assessment. This time I don't mind being wrong at all. Any idea/s why the gov caved in?
Israel intimidates through rage, anger, violence, killing and wanton destruction. I don't think Israel will go soft [now] on so many hunger strikers. In fact [I think] Israel even welcomes this self-imposed 'hunger for death,' and die they [prisoners] will, because, given Israel's stellar humanitarian track record, that knee in the neck says it all.

Blame the other guy. No connection between Israel and Palestine. We've been here before. Next!
In a world in which we know more about the Chinese 'dissident' Chen Guangcheng and hardly anything about Bradley Manning and more about Israel's 'suffering' than about the Palestinians plight, the world seems to me an apathetic audience, with a very selective memory, dysfunctional moral codes and a hypocritical stance that's sickening.
@Fredblogs,
Q: Because there are a lot more Zionists than anti-Zionists. If one tenth of one percent of the 6 million Zionists in Israel turned anti-Zionist, that would be 6000 people. If 10% of the few thousand anti-Zionists turned Zionist that would be a few hundred people.

I suck at them [big time], but I do detect a pattern here [or so I think]. Why would a PM cut his election cycle short by one year?
Logically [given any politician's mindset] you'd max out any time given you. With no effective government in place [Israel] who's going to be held accountable for what, if something is about to 'happen' resulting in Israel 'having no option but to 'retaliate/defend' itself as a victim? What's Obama going to do? Show he can be tough on Israel during a US election cycle? Although I'm convinced this is BB Netanyahoo's grandeur and posturing, I've got this little voice in the back of my head [not that of one of my imaginary friends] yakking on and on about BB wanting to settle the score [and only he knows what that is]. Deep down in my heart [as I have expressed a few times here] I know Israel will not attack Iran, but playing with fire can result in severe burns and after having watched my friend burn to death when I was six, I'm rather scared of what that might entail and/or result in.

@ Samuel T.,
Wrongs are being done all over the place, but this site happens to focus on Israel and Palestine and every time individuals like your good self want to drag the rest of the world into this particular niche it gets very crowded and the I/P conflict sidetracked. If you're an honest person [this is not a fallacy trap] I hope you have the guts to agree to/with the fact that most of Israel's atrocities, rampaging, destruction, pillaging, murder and killing are somehow kinda OKisch. Personally I'm allergic to apologists and men and women without a spine. If I wasn't married, I'd propose to this woman in a heartbeat. If you fail to see the courage this woman oozes out of every single pore of her body, you're indeed blinded by everything that's wrong in this world.
@ Samuel T.
Some people mistakenly belief that a woman will not be treated as harsh as a man possibly would be. The IDF couldn't care less, as is obvious. Too bad those Hasbara coffee breaks are so short, eh?
I admire and love brave and courageous women.
How about investing in the truth? I was taught simplicity outruns complexity and never to censor voices I didn't agree with [although that's tough at times]. Israel's allergic to the truth [although, in all fairness, it's government isn't unique in that derelict], so let the truth bite and sting.

If you would unplug your head from the Sinai desert sands and have a good look around you'd see that the world around you and the ordinary people living in it are fed up with Israel and the Israelis bending over backward to defend indefensible atrocities, perpetrated by a hollow, shallow shell masquerading as a cocoon of non-existing and defunct democracy. You and your ilk are on a head-on collision course with a brick wall, but so full of yourselves that everyone who tries to warn you is either a self-hating Jew or 'some goy' [the rest of the world] if they live outside the apartheid walls and refuse to acknowledge the largest open-air prison as a full-fledged state.
