ORIGINAL: stella41b 2. So have you never heard of The Shoah, the Hebrew term for the Holocaust? What edition of the news are you watching? You mean to say you've never worked out why the Palestinians carry out 'terrorist attacks' but the Israelis 'military action'? These are bombs being dropped and they kill people, so I for one don't see much difference here. There's a terrible irony that you are asking me the above questions, stella. I'm sorry if it touched somewhere sensitive, this isn't ever my intention. I am all for remembering the Holocaust, in fact I'd really like it to go that one step further, that this world somehow learns from it and learns that lesson well. I wrote what I did knowing that the Holocaust is just the tip of the iceberg... just five years from centuries of persecution of the Jews in Europe, from the many things people no longer speak about, events such as Kielce 1946, the Tulipan death camp in central Poland, the pogroms of Alexander the Great in Russia. Then there is March 1968 and the enforced expulsion of Jews from Polish soil. Sobibor, Majdanek, I have been there, I spent two years living on the southern perimeter of the Warsaw Ghetto, my apartment block still showing the pockmarks of shells, I have walked The Tube at Treblinka, stood at the edge of the pit, and seen the rocks of the mass graves. But you know, the Middle East, this is little more than an extension of the Second World War. There can be no justification for what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians, but there can also be no justification for Iran and Syria to threaten Israel. There's enough space for everyone to live in this world and enough resources to go round, and the sooner everyone accepts this the better it will be for the world and everyone in it. What's the point of waiting for another Messiah? He probably won't be listened to or believed anyway and will probably end up being shot or killed. This wasn't a prediction in the Bible you know, it was a warning. Go back and read it properly.
