You're pretty desperate now. Trying to compare the holocaust to the
Britts sinking a ship during war that they didn't know had prisoners.

How about the Allies firebombing Dresden? How about the Allies firebombing
insignificant towns days before the end of the war because, well, they had
left over bombs and they hadn't visited those towns yet?

How about Lindemann's 'Dehousing' plan that he sold to Churchill? The
easiest way to stop German war production is to bomb civilain housing. While
you're at it, go for the working class quarters; the middle class has lawns
and other open space, so the fires won't spread so quickly.

Had Britain opened Palestine to Jewish refugees, would there have been a
holocaust? In the early years, the Nazis just wanted the Jews someplace else
and didn't particularly care where. Unfortunately, nobody else wanted them
either. How many Jewish refugees did the US take in that weren't rock stars
like Einstein or wealthy? Why did FDR stay silent when the St. Louis was
looking for some place to dock and discharge its passengers? Why did the
ship ultimately have to return to Europe?

Convenient excuse, "We didn't know they were civilian prisoners." Goes well
with "We thought that ship with the US flag was an Egyptian warship", or "We
thought that Iranian airliner was a Russian bomber."
