Israel Remembers Holocaust Victims

Israel Remembers Holocaust Victims

Israelis have observed a moment of silence in memory of the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.

Sirens wailed across Israel and traffic came to a halt Monday as the country marked its Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Flags flew at half-staff, and radio and television stations dedicated their broadcasts to remembering the Holocaust.

More than 200,000 Holocaust survivors currently live in Israel.

Netanyahu: World must stop those wishing to destroy the Jewish people

Netanyahu: World must stop those wishing to destroy the Jewish people
Speaking at Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem memorial, Prime Minister says Israel must be prepared to defend itself modern enemies, such as Iran and its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas.
By Haaretz Service

The threats Israel faces to its existence are real, not theoretical ones, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during the ceremony opening Holocaust Remembrance Day in Jerusalem on Sunday, urging the world not to ignore the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Speaking of the three main lessons Israel must learn in the Holocaust’s wake, Netanyahu spoke first of the danger which lies in ignoring the threats of those “wishing to annihilate us,” saying Israelis “mustn’t bury our heads in the sand.”

The Time is Ripe for Mass Anti-Semitism

Does anybody care? Have we not learned from history?

“It is my belief – not an original thought – that conditions are ripe again for mass Jew-hatred, this time all across the globe. Sadly, this is a biblical reality, as God said it would be so. He will rescue His people, however, partly to “redeem my Holy Name.” I do not fear for the Jews or for Israel, as many do. I do fear for those who are blind to the love God has for the Jews, and for people who are following in Eichmann’s footsteps.

Conditions in America are being created in which the Jews are once again being singled out as “Other.” They are being marginalized.,,,

It almost goes without saying that the Emergent crowd continues its drip, drip, drip ideological war with the Jews. One can see this readily in their blog postings, books, and speeches. I know the general range of speaking fees and book deals these guys are getting, and suffice to say they are getting rich spreading heresy. A major part of their plank is what I’d call their passive-aggressive stance toward Israel.”

The Misuse of “Never Again”

The Misuse of “Never Again”

Just when it seemed as though the misuse of language and imagery associated with the Holocaust could get no worse, along came “Never Again for Anyone.” A national speaking tour designed to coincide with International Holocaust Remembrance Day, “Never Again for Anyone” traveled the U.S. from January 25 through February 19, 2011, landing at the First Presbyterian Church in Oakland, California on February 17.

The purpose of the tour was pernicious: to draw a connection between the Holocaust and the Arab-Israeli conflict, with Israelis cast as the new Nazis and “Never Again” transformed into the Palestinian rallying cry. Accordingly, the flyer for the event juxtaposed a photo of Jews fleeing Warsaw in 1944 with a photo of Arabs appearing to do the same from Tulkarm, in the British Mandate of Palestine, in 1948. Conveniently omitted was any context for the photos: the former group was fleeing extermination and the latter voluntarily abandoning their homes at the behest of an Arab leadership who tried and failed to exterminate the Jews.

Leica and the Jews

No one has told this story until now.

Leica and the Jews

The Leica is the pioneer 35mm camera. It is a German product – precise, minimalist, and utterly efficient.

Behind its worldwide acceptance as a creative tool was a family-owned, socially oriented firm that, during the Nazi era, acted with uncommon grace, generosity and modesty. E. Leitz Inc., designer and manufacturer of Germany ’s most famous photographic product, saved its Jews.

Ahmadinejad questions ‘fairy tale’ Holocaust, denies being anti-Semite

Ahmadinejad questions ‘fairy tale’ Holocaust, denies being anti-Semite
Iranian president says ‘West allows everybody to question prophets and even God but not to open the black box of a historic event.’

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad questioned the historic dimensions of the Holocaust but rejected the label of an anti-Semite, the Fars news agency reported Friday.

“The West made a claim – about the Holocaust – and urges all the people in the world to accept it or otherwise go to prison,” Ahmadinejad told a group of Islamic scholars Thursday in Nigeria, where he attended a summit of the Developing Eight, a group of countries with large Muslim populations.

The World’s Oldest Disease – Anti-Semitism

The World’s Oldest Disease
by Jan Markell
www.olivetreeviews.org
June 14. 2010

The world remains sick with a very old disease for which no cure has ever been found. It tends to go into remission now and then, but it always reappears as virulent as ever. It even develops into new strains. Some have called it a lethal obsession. It is called anti-Semitism, and if the Jews did not exist, some anti-Semite would invent him. It’s that bad.

The Helen Thomas story is now old but it was very revealing. In just a brief moment of time, she spewed in microcosm what kings, generals, fuhrers, pharoahs, and Muslim extremists have done in legion. She tried to dispossess the Jews. None of Israel’s enemies have any knowledge of what the Bible has to say about the land or the people of Israel. None of her enemies experience even a nano-second of guilt for telling the Jews to go back to Auschwitz. Even though I researched the Holocaust to write the Anita Dittman story, Trapped in Hitler’s Hell, I cannot imagine the haunting thought of being told to go back to Auschwitz had I ever been interned there. But in demonstrations after the May 31 flotilla fiasco in Gaza, signs sprouted up all over the world saying that the Jews should all pack up and head to Auschwitz, which is now a solemn memorial museum. In its own way, it says “never again” just as all of Israel does when the subject of the Holocaust comes up.

For someone to tell a Jew in Israel to “go home” also makes no sense because they are home.

Obama, Israel and the Genesis Prediction

Obama, Israel and the Genesis Prediction
April 20, 2010
By Dennis Prager

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Most observers, right or left, pro-Israel or anti-Israel, would agree that Israeli-American relations are the worst they have been in memory. Among the many indications is that only 9 percent of Jewish Israelis think President Barack Obama’s administration is more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian, according to a Smith Research poll taken during the last week of March on behalf of The Jerusalem Post. Given how much Israelis love and admire (and emigrate to) America, this level of mistrust is all the more remarkable.

Commentators on the left, of course, blame Israel. For them, this is a no-brainer; blaming Israel is as natural as breathing. One just does it. Furthermore, Israel is headed by a conservative prime minister, and America is presided over by the most pro-left president in its history.

Meanwhile, commentators on the right are virtually unanimous in supporting Israel. This is not simply an anti-Obama, pro-conservative-Netanyahu reflex, however. It stems from a variety of reasons:

Holocaust could happen again, warns expert

Holocaust could happen again, warns expert

Monday, April 12, 2010 Israel Today Staff

As it does every year on the 27th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, Israel came to a standstill at 10 AM Monday morning as air raid sirens blared across the country commemorating the senseless massacre of six million Jews in the Nazi Holocaust.

Memorial ceremonies were held at several locations, as the nation’s leadership took time away from their duties to pay their respects to those who perished, those who survived and the thousands of Gentiles who risked and often lost their own lives to save those of Jews targeted by the Nazi regime.

Meanwhile, a prominent Israeli-British historian warned that the slogan “Never Again” is fading, and that there is a very real possibility for a repeat of the Holocaust.

Around 88% suffer from at least one chronic illness.

On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the number of survivors in Israel stands at some 207,000, people whose health is worsening, according to the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel.

The foundation, which provides assistance to about 55,000 Holocaust survivors, also said Sunday that around 88 percent of survivors suffer from at least one chronic illness and that 66% reported difficulty maintaining their residence on their own. In addition, a majority reported that their health problems had worsened over the past year.

‘Jews exploit Holocaust as propaganda’ says Bishop

‘Jews exploit Holocaust as propaganda’
Jan. 25, 2010
Jpost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

The Holocaust only gets media coverage because of affluent Jews’ financial backing, military might and lobbying fronts, presenting a skewed version of events to the world, a high-ranking Polish bishop told a Catholic news portal on Monday.

Tadeusz Pieronek, a Polish bishop and professor and a friend of the last pope, John Paul II, claimed that “the Holocaust as such is a Jewish invention” promoted in the press by Jews to gain support for Israel.

Auschwitz Blueprints on Display in Israeli Holocaust Museum

Auschwitz Blueprints on Display in Israeli Holocaust Museum
Sunday , January 24, 2010
AP

JERUSALEM —
The neat lines and red rectangular sketches look like any typical architectural design. But the handwritten initials H.H. — belonging to the infamous Nazi SS chief Heinrich Himmler — indicate what the drawings represent: wooden barracks, gas chambers and crematoria.

Just ahead of the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem is displaying the blueprints of the notorious death camp that has become a symbol of the Nazi genocide of European Jewry. It is the first time the plans will be on display for a wide audience.

THE JERUSALEM POST

Lawmakers, officials and Holocaust survivors expressed their profound shock and outrage on Friday after the infamous iron sign over the gate to the Auschwitz memorial site with the cynical phrase “Arbeit Macht Frei” – German for “Work Sets You Free” – was stolen.

Police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo said police believe it was stolen between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday morning, when museum guards noticed that it was missing and alerted police.

What is Replacement Theology?

What is Replacement Theology?
Dr. Thomas Ice

Replacementtheology “is the view that the church is the new or true Israel that haspermanently replaced or superseded Israel as the people of God.”[1] Another term, often found in academic circles,for replacement theology is supersessionism. Replacement theology has been the fuel that has energized Medieval anti-Semitism, Eastern European pogroms, the Holocaust and contemporary disdain for the modern state of Israel. Mike Vlach notes: “The acceptance or rejection ofsupersessionism may also influence how one views the modern state of Israel and events in the Middle East.”[2] Wherever replacement theology has flourished, the Jews have had to run for cover.

The Holocaust is now on Facebook

The Holocaust is now on Facebook

By Paul Greenberg

WARSAW (AP) — The memorial museum at Auschwitz has launched a Facebook page hoping that the popular social-neworking site will help it reach young people around the globe and engage them in discussions about the former Nazi death camp and the Holocaust…

It had to happen. The Holocaust is now on Facebook. From enormity into classroom discussion topic. It’s the standard modern metamorphosis. Awe has given way to science, horror to the antiseptic dissection of it. Modernity means trivialization.

Now we have Holocaust Studies. Just as we have American/Black/Jewish/Women’s/ Middle East Studies. Have you noticed? The addition of Studies to any discipline has a way of ending it as a discipline. And marks its beginning as … what? Fad, obsession, ceremonial observance, group therapy? All of the above and vaporous more?

The process is familiar by now. It happened long ago to the Holocaust. Something singular, ineffable, monstrous … is turned into nothing distinctive, quite discussable, almost cut-and-dried. The pain too deep to be voiced, all the pity and sorrow and shame and anguish have been transmuted into … what, exactly? Another pseudo-science? College major? Genocide like any other? Call it Holocaust 101.

U.N. School Will Not Teach Gaza Students About Holocaust

Hamas Complains, So U.N. School Will Not Teach Gaza Students About Holocaust
Thursday, September 03, 2009

(CNSNews.com) – The United Nations’ refugee agency for Palestinians does not intend to include the Holocaust in the curriculum at schools it runs in the Gaza Strip, a U.N. spokesman said following criticism by Hamas about the purported plan.

While Hamas’ objections to including information on the Holocaust in school lesson plans was not particularly surprising, some Jewish organizations have taken issue with the U.N. for apparently backtracking in the face of the criticism from the terrorist group that rules Gaza.

The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), operates more than 600 schools in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, with around 200,000 children enrolled in Gaza.

Early this week, a Hamas refugee committee wrote to the agency, complaining about what it said were plans to teach children in Gaza about the Holocaust.

“[We] refuse to let our children be taught this lie created by the Jews and intensified by their media,” the letter read, according to the Palestinian news agency, Ma’an.

“First of all, [the Holocaust] is not a fact, and secondly, those who added it to the curriculum intended to mess with our children’s emotions.”
