(אשמנו מכל עם (סליחות                  We are the guiltiest of all nations.                  Are we ח"ו worse than the Nazis,                   Palestinian terrorist ימ"ש, etc.?   1) אשמנו מכל עם- is not part of the וידוי it is pleading with Hashem that we are being punished as if we were Ch"v the worst nation. (R. Zalman Sorotzkin zt"l) 2) אשמנו - our sins, מכל עם- is the fault of all the nations. They are the cause of our sins. (R LY. Barditchever zt"l)   3) אשמנו מכל עם - We are the guiltiest of all nations doesn't mean we are Ch"v the evilest of all nations. We have תרי"ג מצוות and they have only seven. We are guilty for more עבירות in numbers than all the nations. However, their עבירות & crimes are millionfold worse than ours (אמבצי)
