Bitch, Bitch, Bitch
That’s all the Jews do about the Holocaust. Do they think it was fun for anyone else?
A Brazilian archbishop dropped a bombshell Friday when he said Catholics and gypsies had been more persecuted than Jews during the Second World War.
“The Jews talk about six million people killed. But how many Catholics were victims of the Holocaust? They were 22 million in all,” Archbishop Dadeus Grings, from Porto Alegre in southern Brazil, told advertising magazine “Press & Advertising.”
The archbishop also contended that while “Jews say they were the main victims of the Holocaust, the biggest victims were the gypsies, because they were exterminated.”
Twenty-two million Catholics? I’m willing to consider the claim, but where does he get it? Just dying in WWII doesn’t count, and Poland doesn’t take you far enough.
And while I’m sympathetic to the gypsies (Romani, please, Your Excellency), this table shows the Jews do have a case to make:
What do you call two-thirds of the civilized continent’s Jewish population, Archbishop? A start?
And what the [bleep] are you doing talking this [bleep] to Press & Advertising magazine?

Hey, count this as progress. At least he believes there was an actual Holocaust and that SOMEBODY was slaughtered.

Martino, you owe me a new monitor. I was drinking my diet Coke and, well, you know the rest….
The only connection I can figure to an advertising magazine is that the bishop thinks the Jews have achieved some sort of advertising/PR coup by persuading the rest of the world that they suffered the worst in the Holocaust.
And the Romani were not exterminated - they are still around, particularly in their old haunts in the Balkans. I read a book about them a few years ago, but had to stop when I got to the Holocaust because the Gypsy term for it was “The Devouring” which is so much more descriptive and accurate that I just couldn’t read any more. Thinking of it with that term still upsets me.
