The scale of an act is in no way relevant to how wrong a act happens to be. The same thinking that will lead you to go out, and murder a handful of people is the same thinking that will allow you to murder a million. The thinking is self reinforcing. The further you follow the logic the more becomes justified.
The Germans didn't get to the Holocaust over night or over the coarse of a decade. The event wasn't an anomaly. This is what happens when you have centuries of bad thought and practice reaching a crescendo. You should spend some time reading up on the holocaust.
People are buying into this eye for an eye, and blame the scapegoat logic. What it gets you in the end is things like the Holocaust. I am sure if you asked the German people a century ago if they would systematically exterminate upwards of twenty million people. They would say there was no way they would ever get to that point. However they would just be guilty of thinking the same way a lot of people here are thinking. A lot of Germans right before the Holocaust might just agree with the logic people here are following, and maybe you should ask the Germans just how shitty they feel about what happened now.
