It's the silliest thing to accuse a perfect stranger in a online conversation of lying. We lie to people who matter, or who have authority over us, or when we stand to gain. I have no reason to lie to you anymore than you have any reason to lie to me.

Stop being silly.

Congress passed a Neutrality Act in '47 forbidding the sale of military equipment to any belligerent in the ME. Arms, including disassembled P57 Mustangs, were smuggled into Israel compliments of donations from American Jews, true. But this was in no way an official policy of the US.

"Almost all of their arms ... smuggled by the West"?

When did Czechoslovakia become part of the West? That was the source of the Haganah/IDF's principal cache of military-grade arms.

I didn't ignore the reason; I assumed it was general knowledge.

I'm not going to debate the "tameness" of the Holocaust with you. It is simply your opinion.

I repeat: not every atrocity, not every war crime is genocide. Simple as that.

Stop making silly, meaningless accusations & stick to the facts.
