When the Canadian Broadcasting System reported on the US Presidents visit to Buchenwald the word "Jew" and none of its derivatives were used when talking about the victims of this camp.

As for Obama and Gaede, comparing the suffering of Jews, Gypsies and other victims of the holocaust to the so-called suffering of the so-called Palestinians is reprehensible beyond comprehension. What kind of bigots are these two people? Have they no sense of morality or understanding?

One should wonder what their reactions to a triage nurse who gives the same preference to someone with a minor scratch as is given to someone who has had an arm ripped off.

Perhaps someone should tell Obama, and Gaede, that Israel`s right to exist comes not from the Holocaust, but from the time-honoured claim a people have over their ancestral homes. The recent claim of statute of limitations does NOT come from any international agreement or tradition but from the fact that JEWS were able to make good on their claim.
