I'm not weighing in on any side, but just as an interesting personal
experience, when the US plane was downed over Scotland, a guy I worked for
who was Jewish seriously advocated rounding up all the Arabs in the United
States and putting them in camps.  He saw no irony in his comments (not that
I challenged him, he wasn't particularly rationale on the point).  I always
found this a bit scary and interesting, though I'm by no means generalizing
this beyond him - but it does show how some people certainly don't learn.
