By Tom Segev, Haaretz Correspondent: Obama's Buchenwald visit seen as balance to Cairo speech
Talkback
Title: JW #1, you are forgetting one key statement.... Name: Wedi Mendefera City: State: USA
Obama`s key paragraph that deals with the Holocaust is this:- "Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and Antisemitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust." The key phrases are "persecuted for centuries" and "culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust." These two phrases encompasses 2000 years of Jews history. Hence Obama`s reflection all the way to Roman times. Obviously you either have an envy of him or you don`t like him.
