[net.religion.jewish] Bob Brown's posting

In his latest, Ken Arndt says:

>  SINCE BOB BROWN BELIEVES ABORTION IS MURDER HIS EQUATING OF
>IT WITH THE HOLOCAUST IS VALID FROM HIS VIEWPOINT.
[shouting his]

I am not going to argue the abortion issue here, although, 
surprisingly, I found that Mar Arndt raises some interesting points about 
tradition.  However, I _do_ want to respond to the above shout
(hold your ears, folks):

THE HOLOCAUST WAS GENOCIDE, NOT SIMPLY MURDER.  TO EQUATE MURDER 
WITH GENOCIDE _DOES_ TRIVIALIZE THE HOLOCAUST.  Therefore Bob 
Brown's equation is not valid, even from his viewpoint, at least 
as he has so far articulated it.


Now, if you want to argue as to whether abortion is genocide, 
take it to net.abortion.
