I have something to add to the FUD statement "What’s the greatest database of Jews on the planet? Facebook." ... "Why could the holocaust never, ever happen again? Facebook." Try systematically killing 10 million+ people when their relatives can't poke them on facebook anymore. People would catch on pretty quickly I think.

Uhhh, I don't think the holocaust happened because people weren't noticing.

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that at the time, most of the outside world wasn't noticing? (or at least pretending not to notice?)

    i think you wrong. it wasnt about "noticing" and besides if you notice what you are going to do? you can notice Wall street movement but did you and EVERYONE else joined? during WW2 most countries were busy fighting or preparing to fight with aggressors. on the other note, if you dont live in US but in one of country where abortion is illegal and assumed a human killing, you can notice 50,000 abortion done in China every day. Thats 15 million abortions a year, more than holocaust claimed. Do you see everyone "noticing" and doing something about it?

      You have valid points with your abortion point in that it's very often about perception of right and wrong. But it looks like the U.S. at least didn't "know" until a year after they entered the war[1], but even when they did, it appears that they had reservations about acting on it[2] (ie, do you bomb Auschwitz and kill the current prisoners to prevent future prisoners from being gassed there?)

    Four hundred thousand people have died in the Darfur genocide over the past nine years(1). It's not exactly something that shows up on cable news every night. (1)http://www.darfurscores.org/darfur http://www.darfurscores.org/darfur
