You can't get away from this post:
Not per se. I'm asking how a lobby for such a small group of people gains so much power as to make it criminal to speak or deny about what happened to them (while at the same time clouding the fact that worse atrocities occurred, and, ironically, the same group commits the same atrocities since 1949).
(underling done by me)
You basically said Jews = Nazis.

It's true other atrocities don't receive as much awarness because of a lack of resources devoted to making it known. Is that someone's fault? Another reason we know of the Holocaust is because US troops liberated some of the camps. To a lesser degree Americans know of the Baatan Death March, The Rape of Nanking and the Killing Fields of Cambodia.

But you said through their interest groups they "cloud" the fact that other atrocities exist. That's total bs and you know it. I don't know of any other ethnic group that devotes as much time and resources to human rights interests and genocide rememberance than do Jewish people.

Concerning Stalin, you answered the question. He was our ally and people need a simple story so they don't hesitate to commit themselves to the cause. Thus Hitler bad Stalin good. Actually is was more like Hitler=bad Soviet Union=mystery ally. I think also there was sympathy in the US for the communist movement. The pacifists didn't want us to get involved in the European war up until Hitler attacked the Soviets. The pacifist phrase "The Yanks Aren't Coming" quickly became 'we're on our way'.

We looked away while Stalin purged because it went on within the borders of a sovereign nation. We were busy prosecuting an agressor.

As far as AIPAC what do you propose? How do we limit interest groups from lobbying government? All elections could be financed with public funds but that would solidfy the two party system and interest groups would still find ways to gain elected officials attention. Elected officials are supposed to listen to their constituents.
