Why was this deleted?

I’m trying to figure out what triggered the deletion of this comment from the Lerman thread yesterday. I thought this was an interesting introspective attempt to try to understand the pain and suffering of antisemitism. Whats wrong with that?

It is very difficult for non Jews to have much insight into how present day Jews relate to their history. My own childhood was full of parental tales of bombing, destruction and death during the bombing of our city in WW2. However it was laced with humanity and humour. When John Cleese does his sketch in Fawlty Towers, and the ‘Major’ mentions his dislike of Germans, it rings bells in my head. Funnyand amusing , but with a dark truth to the comedy. Of course my teenage children find it a bit insulting to Germans. Which leads me to try to understand the anger that would be passed down through a Jewish family, and rightly so, for events that have dogged the Jewish people for generations. It is not easy for those of us not affected on a personal level by those terrors to understand the sense of fear, anger and determination to make sure our offspring do not suffer the same fate at some future date. Looking around the middle east at my neighbours would not fill me with much comfort. The downside is that the Palestinians will also be handing down a similar tale of woe to their offspring, so attitudes , whether reasonable considering historical events, become solidified and hard to resolve.
