And this would be a bad thing?

The problem seems to be that you might just think is a good thing.

It is a good thing that we don't have to deal with other races/cultures doing the same thing.

I was thinking the exact samething!

Yet only the Jews are good at it.

Considering Israel was attacked by the Arab nations 4 times since its conception in 1948, I'd venture to say it was money well spent. You can either pay your Holocaust survivors $20 a month or pay them nothing because you were already wiped off the map.
* 1948 War of Independence

* 1956 Sinai War

* 1967 Six Day War

* 1973 Yom Kippur War

In each war they were attacked by multiple nations each multiple times their size, and they won.

I know this... of course, one would imagine a nation founded because of the Holocaust might make it a little higher priority to help out the survivors, right? Heck... they are Jews, they should have invested a portion of it to create a survivors fund. A few billion of 80 billion wouldn't hurt.

I'm reading 'the holocaust industry' right now.

Its a pretty good book.

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering is a book by Norman G. Finkelstein which argues that an "industry" has exploited the memory of the Holocaust to further Jewish and Israeli interests, and has corrupted the Jewish culture and heritage of Judaism as well as the history of the Holocaust. Finkelstein's mother and father survived the Majdanek and Auschwitz concentration camps respectively during the Holocaust.[1]

A main complaint featuring in the work was expressed by Finkelstein thus:

Since the late 1960s, there has developed a kind of Holocaust industry which has made a cult of the Nazi Holocaust. And the purpose of this industry is, in my view, ethnic aggrandisement - in particular, to deflect criticism of the State of Israel and to deflect criticism of Jews generally.

They use the holocaust to their advantage, and collect billions of dollars doing it, while allowing survivors to live in poverty.

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right.

The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church, packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.

An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."

God nodded in agreement. The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said, "Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him?"

God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"

This is too funny!!
