I don't know about the comparison, but you are expressing a myth, " Right now we live in the most civilized country on earth". How do you make that assumption while Indian Nations are trying to protect their water rights and treaties? how do you make that assumption when Black lives don't matter in AMERICA? How do you make that assumption when people with  guns are allowed to kill children and other humans.? How do you make that assumption when the US Government has propped up an illegal ISRAEL since 1948 as it seizes in a brutal fashion Palestinian land. Civilized countries leaders do not give $38 billion to ISRAEL for weapons to further oppress, terrorize the PALESTINIANS and neighbors. Civil Beat should not have printed this "holocaust sensation". There are many horror stories in the USA that are non- Jewish. There are many horror stories in the world perpetuated by USA aggression. Let's starting discussing that.
