just throwing my 2 cents in here...
killing of Jewish people during WW2 was terrible but they weren't the only ones killed. Gypsies got it too, blacks, etc. There's also something else that isn't mentioned.
20 million Russians died while fighting the Germans. You can argue that they were soldiers and so on, but nevertheless..Stalin was sending inexperienced 18 years old to the front, only 1/2 having some sort of weapon..basically cannon-fodder. That's also extermination. Just because the Nazis were shooting unnarmed boys who supposedly were 'soldiers', makes it better than gassing them ? Or the fact that they were killing citizens of a country (Russians), instead of a race (Jews) makes it less horrible ?
Anyhoo, both are tragedies and I don't understand why we have to care more about one people's suffering than for another. I'm also tired of Jews crying for anti-Semitism when you criticize something Israel is doing.
