We won't allow a second holocaust

[GoesTo11]

John McCain - 9/26/08 "We can't allow a second holocaust"
Sarah Palin - 10/2/08 "We won't allow a second holocaust"

Who said anything about a holocaust? It's like saying to someone at work "I won't allow you to be murdered, chopped up and kept in my freezer."

I was puzzling this over. Why do they keep saying this? It's not for the Jewish vote. If anything, it's a little off-putting. And there aren't that many Jews. Then a bright young fellow I was talking with cracked the code.

What they mean is that when Babylon comes to destroy Zion in a holocaust, Jesus will come again and set it all right. Prophecy of Armegeddon.

Talk about a crazy dog whistle. Or am I the one who's crazy, and they're really just talking about international security?

Or does the term "holocaust" only apply to white people?

Israel has their own nuke arsenal. They can and will defend their own citizens. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool.
