How would the holocaust be viewed if Jews had taken revenge?
After WWII, some Jews that survived the death camps united to exact revenge on German soldiers. Generally, everyone looked the other way, and no tears were shed for murdered SS officers. However, one such revenge group planned something much bigger. They planned to indiscriminately kill 6 million German citizens by poisoning water supplies. They never carried out this plan, obviously, but they did succeed in tainting the food supply in a German POW camp, making thousands of German soldiers sick, killing hundreds.
Before the war, it wasn't just Germany or Arabs that hated Jews. Most of Western society had a negative opinion of them. Once the extent of the holocaust was revealed, attitudes changed. I think people understood that this group of people have had it bad enough. As a result, they got their own state, largely supported by the West. But I wonder, had the revenge plan to kill six million German civilians worked, would Jews have extinguished their new-found sympathy among Western nations? Would Israel be a state today if the plan had been carried out?

As bad as it was I think another genocide would be worse

Well, I wouldn't entirely blame them. Millions upon millions of their people died, were tortured, etc. I feel that the N@zis would've had what was coming to them. Although, many people would've taken it the wrong way of course.

1 RespuestaI'd think it would depend on if the west was still in their "Every German is a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]" and "Only good kraut is a dead kraut" way of thinking. It may have been viewed as justifiable. Then again, it may have just brought back anti-semetic feelings from everyone as they say that the Jews have shown their true colors and therefore deserved what Hitler had done.

2 RespuestasSo tell me, you wouldn't have done the same thing to someone who killed your extended family?

I never liked Jews anyway.

27 RespuestasThis just makes me dislike them more. Seems like a really scummy thing to do.

Well, judging by what people thought before the Holocaust, I think people would have been a lot less sympathetic towards the Jews. Also (sadly) I feel like more people would have supported or tolerated Hitler and he may have been portrayed by some groups as a martyr. Some may even think "oh he was right all along, the Jews are evil and he was trying to get rid of the communists!" On the flip side I'm sure there would also be many supporters of the Jews because of the suffering they went through so the desire for revenge would be strong. People may have even seen it as "an eye for an eye."

1 RespuestaHad a reciprocal genocide happened? Definitely. The world would have been a little more lenient, but I doubt it would have turned a blind eye. Now, Nakam only numbered in the hundreds, and kept its activities a secret. Should all Jews be judged on the actions of a few hundred? I don't know if you intended to imply that, but your line of reasoning is going down that path. The effort to eliminate the Jews was widely known in Europe, the Germans who [u]participated[/u] numbered in the tens of to hundreds of thousands. While the average German citizen may not have known they were killing the Jews, they ALL knew their were putting them in camps. Compare that to the survivors of this, many of whom didn't know if their families survived... how could they have known about a group like Nakam?
