I don't share your hatred for Nazis. Being Polish, I had a number of 
relatives who died at the hands of the Nazis. I have long ago forgiven 
them. How can you talk about compassion when you cannot rise from the 
cinders of your own hatred? You say you feel for the poor, the naked, 
the sick, the homeless--but that is only a fantasy. Where are the poor, 
naked, sick, and homeless close enough to you that you can reach out and 
offer solace? Only in your mind. I'll believe you are a man of 
compassion when you do the one thing that is in your power to do: 
forgive the Nazis--forgive those you hate.

It does not matter whether you are a radical or liberal or conservative 
or reactionary (and who is not) if you do nothing.
