By your logic I should still hate the Germans for the Holocaust.  It's doesn't make any sense.  We had a German student live with us for years I have no qualm against them.  And like I said why don't we get into the countless genocides that have been carried out in the name of Christ.  I don't expect Christians to bear the burden of guilt that should be borne by their ancestors, and likewise the people of Israel cannot be slandered because of actions 3000 years ago.  In the exact same way I ask no apology from the German people.


I mean for God's sake, American war planes have bombed infants many times over the years.  Don't try to be some moralistic preacher pointing to how if the Jews murdered children 3000 years ago then they deserve to be destroyed even though many hundreds of thousands of times whatever number they killed have been killed in the name of Christ and in the name of Allah.  Why do you make a special case in blaming the Jews?


Every religion has evil at some point in its history but to infer that because it once existed then it still exists is ignorant and ridiculous.  Maybe I should declare all Christian nations a slander of God's name because in Rwanda thirteen years ago one million people were killed.  How about I hate the British because of their violence in India.  It doesn't make any sense what you say. 


Time frame does matter because things change, unless you have some warped view where ever person born after another carries all the sins of his ancestors.  Then we have millions of people who are guilty because their ancestors owned slaves, or because their ancestors followed orders, or because their ancestors dropped the atomic bomb.
