I don't think I've ever met someone who uses the word genocide as often as you do, sir, but when I do I'll be sure to call them crazy too.
I also don't really regard myself as being above persecution, I simply don't find persecution to be an apt basis for any type of action, except of course immediate self-preservation.
This goes way deeper than your family members' experiences, though. I don't hold it against you that you argue on behalf of jews when comments are made about them, just like I don't hold like actions against Scu and Fuzzbot regarding muslims. What I do feel is unnecessary is your incessant need to draw on hundreds of years of history to make your point.
Yes, jews have been discriminated against in the past.
Should that be a basis for or influence on any type of action? No. Humans should be treated as humans. Many jews were put through the wringer, and many more died. Does that make the future generations any more special? Only to those who survived the moment. Asking anyone else to level with this mentally or emotionally is patently absurd. Empathy is overrated as a means.
To bring up an old topic (which I made an incredibly long post in and then lost it immediately before submitting), the carving of Israel should have had no basis in who was there HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO. Mandate Palestine should have been left just the way it was, in once piece, and everyone there should have been told to put up or shut up. Instead of Israel uprooting native Palestinians and shipping them westward (or wherever the fuck they shipped them) the country should have remained ONCE PIECE. You seem to think that just because at one point things were owned by jews, they should ever be that way. That's like if a Native American group were to demand the legal rights to all of Cape Cod because their ancestors were the first to groom this land. You and I would scoff at them, call them crazy fucking indians, and tell them to go screw. If, however, they were jews trying to claim ancestral land, I'd see you supporting them fully.
There's a sense of unity among jews that is largely their undoing in the public eye. It's even part of your religious texts to treat jews in more trustworthy and honest manners than gentiles. This isn't to say that the Torah advocates the wholesale raping and pillaging of non-Israelite peoples and property, but then again who was the one who said that Geggy's anti-zionism was akin to blood libels? It's comments like that that make you a crazy jew.
Now, on to the extra credit. This is the easy part.

Robbed in part from Wikipedia, this is a list of the ones you've likely heard of before. You want some great public agencies to attack as being the most towel-laiden of the towelheads?
