    If I remember well, I think I read on this forum that one third of Israel population are Holocaust Survivors. Isn't that made Israel what it really is, a nation of survivors. A nation that needs to remind the world,one can at lest call, its 'absurdity'. Some times ago I suggested that the Holocaust Numbers must survive by the living and to be stamped on their arms as it is stamped on the Holocaust survivors themselves;for Jews and none Jews for generations to come. So,the world will never forget its own sins. But does this world of so many beasts like Ahmadenijad have the heart to remember ?

    Bravo for Haaretz TV ! But apparently, it has not been checked for Mozilla browsers (Firefox, Netscape..) which have now a usage share of more than 30 %. Even if they are not so popular in Israel (a lot of Israeli web sites cannot be seen properly on Mozilla browsers), they become more and more popular over the world. As regards Haaretz TV the comments/translations at the bottom of the screen cannot be read properly (too big, only parts).
