Sometimes it's easier for people to believe that everyone else is a liar, because they can't accept the horrific truth. They are weak people and while it is difficult, they need help.

@blackvulcan100 whether they knew it or not, the germans and anyone else who hates the Jewish people hate them because they are God's chosen people and they have His blessings... I feel sorry for wheover hurt

the Jewish people in any way when God comes back to bless this race. God said "I will bless them which bless thee and I will CURSE them that curse thee"
