To clarify...I wasn't saying that you invoked it- my comment was in reference to the endless invocation of that event to justify any hardline or brutal act the Israeli government ever commits. When Menachem Begin was prime minister, a group of Holocaust survivors living in Israel actually presented Begin with a petition demanding that he STOP invoking the Holocaust to justify what he did to ordinary Palestinians. I've always admired those people for doing that.
