We are compassionate towards all people.
But, ‘Forgiving’??? Is another matter. That should be asked by the victims themselves – individually, each and everyone.
As a Tzibur, who has the right to forgive on behalf of the Kdoshim victims?
And this goes to ANY anti-Jewish crimes, anywhere past/present. Including by:
Stalin in Russia or which AAQ mentioned;
Kantonists;
or 1492 Spain;
ת”ח ות”ט Gzeirot;
Kishinev 1903 pogrom;
or 1929 Hebron;
1934 Algeria;
German Nazis and their collaborators [Vidkun Quisling, the Belgians had Leon Degrelle, the Dutch – the Waffen-SS unit, the largest outside Germany, the Ukrainians Stepan Bandera, the Russians – General Andrey Andreyevich Vlasov and that Azov Battalion] especially 1941-44;
Mufti’s 1941 Farhud Baghdad for that matter.
etc. etc. etc.
(Just mentioned random events , did not mean to exclude others) .
