Israeli leaders in Europe for International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Palestine is in self-inflicted shackles. A democratic government would hsve realised/achieved by now the needs of the citizens to to be protected from enemies "both foreign and domestic" instead trying to dig more tunnels to increase their spoils from smuggled goods.

"Ya, it makes one think about 11,000 Pal political prisoners" - Esther They are not political prisoners. They are terrorists. Just like those who fought back against the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto were 'terrorists' and not people fighting those determined to expunge them. Israel might deal better with the problem if it were just a bit honest about the problem. Any Palestinian who opposes the eventual eradication of his people is a terrorist Esther. Not a political prisoner.

"it is past - let the dead bury the dead" - Euro And thus there is nothing to be learned? What happens the next time some Austrian - or from anywhere else - corporal with only one testicle decides to exercise his depravity on the world Euro? Will you say give him the stiff armed salute so that I might party on? "you cannot force the hand of god." - Euro I do not believe there is any God. But I know there are human beings and they are capable of incredible evil or astounding humanity. You don't seem to give a damn which.

"I have heard nothing about this and no one in my college age group care really. . . " - euro Why do you think European nations have a golden age of peace and prosperity? Because just a few generations ago they had an age of war and depravity. If you do not care about 'this' then you or your children will experience even more horrific war and depravity. 100 years ago Germany was one of the most advanced, civilize and tolerant nations in the world. True, it had this obsession with military power, but it also had a great civilization including the active contributions of it's many Jews. Then Germany chose to follow the degenerate Austrian-Hungarian Empire into world war and lost. The this Austrian Corporal came along and told Germans it wasn't their fault that they lost, that it was the fault of the Jews. His party was elected - a minority like Netanyahu's - and he took power. Then he plunged the world into WW II resulting in the murder of 50 million people for his profit.

Jews account for less than .05 percent of the world's population. And that's over a period of two thousand years. Are you saying that in one-quarter of that time the Jews will number over one billion? What do you see? Maybe Gentiles will be decimated? Salaam/Shalom

while i fully feel for those jews that where butchered, i have not forgoten the overall 71 million, nor have i forgoten the 10 million russians who also died to save the world, but who screams louder than those who abuse the holocaust, while others are more humble.

Peace, paix, Paz.

I could write a book on "people" like you. Never the less, obviously you DO care about the holocaust, or you would not be reading this column or commenting about it. My G-D, you both so transparent. Get a life-get a job & try find a meaning for your pathetic lives.

Why is he wearing a little black toupe perched on the back of his head - or am I not seeing straight?

Non-Jews are losing interest in religion, while many are gravitating to Judaism as it is a more simple and rational theology. In 15 years the USA will determine that colateral damage, like that exacted on Dredan & other German cities in WWII, will be an accepted practise of anti-terrorism. In 17 years, Arab nations' harbors, electricity plants, mosques, schools & terrorism training camps, where hate for western nations & non-islam nations & terrorism is taught will be bombed by western nations. Arabs & their religion of peace will be cowered. Moshe

Or maybe you want to talk? Fine. #1, The pals will only be free once they get rid of the terrorist movements that rule them. Meanwhile, Israelis die and leave in fear of an atomic bomb. And admit it, these guys asked for it. You can't expect to throw rockets without backfire. Their human shields are part of it too, just like rockets. Go for an alive peoples of Israel then. #2 We're gonna keep it going forever. Why? Because the Jews are 12 millions as of today whereas they could be 28 millions (these Ashkenazis were among the most fertile of us). No problems for a one-state solution then, no need for an Arab hatred, for destruction of Iraq or anything else.

... incacerated in Israel... and how long we intend to perpetuate that... after all, man's entire life-span is only about 'three-score-years-and-ten'...

You, european antisemites desperately want everyone to forget what you did. Which will also make it easier for you to try it again. We will never forget!

That's how you came to murder six million jews - you don't care. And now you are fueling antisemitic hysteria again. Getting ready for second try?

hope this will never happen again to anyone much love and god bless you all

For how long do you really intend to keep it alive. How about recent "Iraq's Destruction day" for a change??

I have heard nothing about this and no one in my college age group care really - it is past - let the dead bury the dead - if we want to honor and fights oppression as illustrated in the past - we should help for a free people in Palestine - nothing justifies the continued suffering of millions for over 60 years. That is a scar on Israel and is rotting it from within but in your avarice - like shylock - you do not even see the monsters that you have become - are there no mirrors in Israel anymore? well the world sees it - just try traveling anywhere with an Israeli passport and here the comments or the outright dangerous hostility. A light unto all nations indeed! Israel was founded by secularists and the Christian west - you cannot force the hand of god.
