Does killing method matter?
Check this out:
OAKLAND, Calif. - The San Francisco Bay Area's legal community is abuzz over a death-penalty appeal that claims a respected late Jewish judge advised a prosecutor to exclude Jews from a jury because, since the Holocaust, 'no Jew would vote to send a defendant to the gas chamber.'
Hell, I sure would. The horror of the Holocaust isn't necessarily that gas was used to kill the victims - indeed, in many places it was good ol' fashioned bullets - but the scope of the killing itself. That's why I was annoyed during the first Gulf war when various talking heads would comment on the specter of poison gas scuds, saying that Israel would not tolerate the mass gassing of Jews after the Holocaust. Um, would they have before? Would they tolerate, God forbid, mass killing by other means? - served up by Ralphie @ 3:18 PM

Registration is required for the article, but from your quote I totally agree with you. It's what Dennis Prager calls the broken moral compass. Nobody thinks in moral terms anymore. Newsflash: the horror of the Holocaust is because all of those people were murdered. It would have still been bad if they had been murdered with poison mushrooms or by drowning. Whether the death penalty is moral or not (we both think it is) is a seperate argument. If it is moral, anyone who can't vote for the gas chamber because of the Holocaust (and my parents are survivors) is a ninny.
What's probably more relevant, since the article is from Oakland, is that every Jew within a 30 mile radius of there is a serious lefty and is congenitally opposed to the death penalty regardless of how it's administered.
