Line 1,126:
If there are others (i.e. non-Wikipedia editors) out there — scholars, political activists, let's say someone like Noam Chomsky or Edward Said, but these are just two examples — who have written that exacerbated conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine was "another major tragic legacy of the Holocaust," and they explicitlyy use the word Holocaust, then I do think we need to make room for it in this article. If scholars and politicians have discussed the role of Holocaust survivors in the I-P conflict in general, however, I think that that discussion belongs specifically in an article on the I-P conflict (although we could have a link here in this article). Be that as it may, the way this phrase was originally introduced into this article is just editorializing and it has no place in an encyclopedia.

== Victims of the Holocaust ==
First of all, I deem it very good that in the English wikipedia, ''all'' victims of the Holocaust are addressed. In the German wikipedia, it is held that "Holocaust" only attributes the Jewish victims; that has the "nice" effect to relativise the other victims, so that only the Jews must be remembered.
Two groups of victims I do not see: The "Roman Catholic" - no catholic was murdered just for his/her faith - and the Esperanto speakers. Esperanto was forbidden, but so was hearing allied radio broadcasts. I would rather subsumize that under "political dissidents" (which was also true for protestant people like [[Dietrich Bonnhöfer]]), as those people were prosecuted for their actions, not their race as were the gypsies, the Jews and the Slaws. --[[User:Dingo|Dingo]] 22:17, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
