This loyal SFist reader grew up next door to Watertown and saw Abe Foxman speak at Newton North HS after a racial incident involving blacks & mushes (that's I-talians to you). No Jews, although many of us in the audience bobbed our heads at his platitudes. I now living in the shadow (literally) of a pretty awesome monument to the Armenian genocide - the cross on Mount Davidson in San Francisco. Further qualifying me to comment on this story: My middle name is Abraham (again, literally!). Dudes and Mensches: it doesn't matter what you call it. The point is that it was bad like the Holocaust. Not "as bad as" the Holocaust - it's not a contest. It's just another sad chapter in man's inhumanity to man. When people try to make out like theirs is the only group to suffer, that's when other people think they're sniveling schmucks.</p>
