I was watching a youtube of the Bear Jew scene from Inglourious Basterds and read a comment that struck me as odd, so I responed resulting in the following conversation. I have highlighted the statements that have caused me confusion and that I would like clarification on.

Their methods are not better than those of the Gestapo. This is not the way, and it shouldn't be promoted. If this was the future in a US-dominated democracy, then Germany might have just as well stayed with the old powers. This is no better at all.

6 million Jews were rounded up like animals and systematically slaughtered by Nazi Germany. 6 Million.
If you can't see the point of a scene in a Tarintino movie where a character called the "Bear Jew" gets to beat a German soldier to death with a bat in as angry and viseral a fashion then I don't know what to tell you.
The point of the scene is not to support this sort of disgraceful behaviour during warfare, it is to provide release to Jewish anger over the holocaust.

Further more although we are lead to believe that Roth's character routinely does this, the soldier he is currently doing it to is neither a sneering nor whimpering SS officer, but a proud and clearly honourable member of the regular forces, the Wehrmacht.
I believe that this is meant to give dignity to the part of Nazi germany that was not nazi, but simply proud and German and unfortunately got swept up by Hitler's rise to power and ended up supporting it in some way.

The six million figure is total bullshit.
Even if it weren't , Jews have murdered far more Gentiles than six million, witness their reign of terror in the Soviet Union.
