Atrocities by anyone or groups should be condemned

Israel's recent attack was rightly condemned by all regardless of political divide, race or religious beliefs. But looking at the history of the Jews, they had their disproportionate share of being victims of persecution.

In one of our discussions with our Dutch guests, we were told that an estimated 80% of Jews in Holland were killed because the Dutch were such good keepers of old documents! Those unfortunate Jews were traced from addresses kept by the government.

Actually we have heard of their extraordinary archives when an author from Hawaii mentioned that she went to The Hague to do research on the Dutch East India Company's activities and the documents (still with sands) proved that nobody had earlier looked through them since they were kept!

Raja Petra's objective views in 'There are two sides to a coin' in Malaysia Today is worth a read:
