Bullies need Bystanders : WWII provided plenty of both

The Axis were the Bullies of course.

But to a shocking degree, the Allies and the Neutrals were the Bystanders.

Individuals in all nations confounded this national stereotyping - some for better , many for worse.

Germany, a relatively small nation with only three percentage of the world's population and natural resources wanted to kill all of Europe's Jews.

Bully : bad, bad bully.

But it took almost all of the remaining 97% of the world to stand by and let them,  for it to actually happen.

Bystanders : bad, bad bystanders...

The Holocaust's TWIN plenticides

The Axis plenticide denied the Jews the right to exist. The Allied plenticide denied us to right to act compassionately against their fate.

One war : two war crimes ....
