Remember the past so you can face the future

Jews around the world, and particularly in Israel, will commemorate the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, as well as those who were able to fight back, beginning Wednesday evening, April 30th at 8 PM.
Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins with a public ceremony at Warsaw Ghetto Square in Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

The date of Yom HaShoah was chosen to mark the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Although the day became official by an act of Knesset, it has been traditionally commemorated by Jewish communities around the world. Some religious communities prefer not to commemorate the Holocaust on this day, which falls in the generally happy month of Nissan, but rather on Tisha B'Av or on the Tenth of Tevet, which the Chief Rabbinate of Israel fixed as the day for the recital of the Kaddish prayer for those murdered during the Holocaust whose date of death is not known.

Yad Vashem, the world's largest repository of information on the Holocaust, launched two YouTube channels in advance of Holocaust Remembrance Day. The English channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/YadVashem) contains testimonies from Holocaust survivors, as well as archival footage, historians’ lectures on key issues related to the Holocaust, footage from world leaders' visits to Yad Vashem, and human interest stories such as family reunions. The Arabic channel has testimonies and archival footage about the Holocaust with Arabic subtitles.

Roughly 60 years after the end of World War II and the Nurnberg trials which exposed the magnitude of the genocide, Holocaust denial is going "mainstream". No more just the realm of extreme, obscure Neo Nazi groups or other cooks on the fringe of society, Holocaust denial is taking the main stage in some parts of the world. Iran recently organized an international "congress" to discuss the "myth" of the Holocaust, the Arab press is filled with cartoons reminiscent of "Der Sturmer" and politicians from Ahmadinejad to Abu Mazen (so-called "moderate") proclaim publicly their "doubts" about the Holocaust, denying its very existence and trashing the memory of the 6 million (of which 1.5 millions were children!) victims.

Olmert doesn't care that Abu Mazen thinks the Holocaust is a Jewish invention and Carter couldn't care less if Hizballah or Hamas, while denying the Holocaust, dream to end what Hitler had started. For every Holocaust denier there are enough "respectable" politicians that would do business with them, so Holocaust denial became "an acceptable" form of political belief!...Only 65 years since Ghetto Warsaw uprising....35 more years and Jean-Marie Le Penn's words ("the Holocaust was but a minor detail of World War II") will become reality, proving once again, that those who chose not to remember the past cannot face the future.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi visited the Warsaw Ghetto and a Jewish cemetery in Poland ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day. Ashkenazi reportedly stood silent for a few moments and then said: "The answer to what we see here is us, the State of Israel, the IDF and victory."

Guess Who's Coming to the Seder

For centuries, Jews have gathered around the Seder table to celebrate Pesach (Passover), the deliverance from slavery to freedom. This family holiday is marked not only by the ubiquitous matza, but mainly by the reading of the Hagada, the recounting of the events that led to the freedom of the ancient Israelites. Everyone participates in the reading and especially the singing, which is what makes the Seder such a joyful experience.
As we ask "Ma Nishtana Ha'Layla Ha'Ze" - What's Different This Night from all other nights?, an answer (which is not in the Hagada) is that this Passover in 5768 (2008 AD) falls in an election year in the USA. All three candidates wanted to participate in the political Passover. The Torah mentions "four sons": the wise one, the wicked one, the naive one and the one who doesn't know how to ask. In their trying to appeal to the Jewish vote, you decide who is who:

Barak Obama noted that the Passover Seder ceremony encourages children to ask questions. He interpreted that as meaning that American policy should emphasize dialogue. He previously has said that if he were elected president, he would talk with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is a Holocaust denier and dreams of "wiping Israel off the map". However, he has rejected the idea of sitting down for discussions with Hamas, which is funded by Iran. I guess his thinking is why talk to the dogs when I can talk directly to their masters?
Obama is clearly naive. He is he also wicked when he tries to appear as a friend of Israel (despite his public support for the Palestinian cause and his refusal to condemn Carter's useless trip to the Middle East) or of the Jews (when his friends, Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakan are racists and anti-Semites)?

Hillary Clinton used the Hagada to make a call "to stand up to oppression, tyranny and discrimination." She also paid a surprise visit to a Jewish federation-sponsored Philadelphia Orchestra concert celebrating Israel's 60th birthday. She made no political comments, but her appearance was part of a last-ditch effort to garner more votes in Tuesday's state primaries. Hillary is not naive and does know how to ask but she is as wicked as they come because her perfidy and dishonesty know no limits. She couldn't care less about Israel, as she proved it when she stood by Suha Arafat which was spewing vicious statements about Israelis poisoning Palestinian children. She does care about Jews, American Jews to be precise, because there are, unfortunately, many foolish enough to donate money to her and because Jews are still overwhelmingly blind to continue following the Democratic Party despite its increasingly leftist and anti-Israeli stance (although the number of Republican Jews has more than doubled since Bush became President in 2000).

Republican candidate John McCain appears to be the most Zionist of the three candidates who commented on the Passover Seder and the reading of the traditional Hagada, according to The New York Times op-ed writer William Kristol. McCain, who was a prisoner of war during the war in Vietnam, was the only one of the three candidates who linked the story of the Exodus from slavery in Egypt with attacks on Jews. He commented that three IDF soldiers who were kidnapped two years ago "will celebrate [Passover] once again, in captivity.”

The older, the wiser....Hag Sameach! (Happy Holiday!)

Michelle Obama - The unrepentant racist behind the candidate

In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on “crime and hatred”. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were “ineradicably racist”. The 1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.

Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...' However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, “If those 'Whites at Princeton ' really saw Michelle as one who always would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression”.

Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms “separationist” and “integrationist” when describing the views of black people.

Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a “separationist” view of race.
“By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.”

Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.'

Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
“There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost. “

What is Michelle Obama planning to do if (G-d forbid!) she becomes first lady?

The following passage is a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration: “Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”

Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. “I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.”

Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.

Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.

The thesis provides a snapshot of Michelle Obama's thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism. This is in essence, racist point of view, one that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.

Michelle Obama’s intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern, yet no one in the "main stream media" is particularly concerned with exploring or even informing about.

PS: The American people paid for her scholarship.

Charlton Heston (1923-2008)

Over the weekend, the great Charlton Heston passed away.

Best known as the lead actor in such epic movies like Ben-Hur, El Cid, Planet of the Apes and of course, The Ten Commandments, Charlton Heston was a staunch believer in conservative values.

He was not afraid to come out against affirmative action (liberals' form of anti-white racism) and support Republicans running for President when almost all Hollywood is insanely leftist. He voted for Richard Nixon in 1972 and actively campaigned for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

In an address to students at the Harvard Law School, he said this:

"The Constitution was handed down to guide us by a bunch of wise old dead white guys who invented our country! Now some flinch when I say that. Why! Its true-they were white guys! So were most of the guys that died in Lincoln’s name opposing slavery in the 1860s. So why should I be ashamed of white guys? Why is “Hispanic Pride” or “Black Pride” a good thing, while “White Pride” conjures shaved heads and white hoods? Why was the Million Man March on Washington celebrated by many as progress, while the Promise Keepers March on Washington was greeted with suspicion and ridicule? I’ll tell you why, Cultural warfare!"

A great believer in Americans' right to bear arms, he headed the NRA (National Riffle Association) between 1998-2003 and tirelessly promoted the Second Amendment.

In August 2002, Heston publicly announced he was diagnosed with symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease. Almost instantly the left hate machine went into action, with the pathetic George Clooney being one of the first to express satisfaction from another human being's misfortune. Heston responded, by saying Clooney lacked class, and said he felt sorry for Clooney, as Clooney had as much of a chance of developing Alzheimer's as anyone else.

Literally hours after it was announced that Charlton Heston passed away, the disgusting hate websites of the far left (Daily Kos, Huffington Post, etc.) sprung into a vile tirade of celebrating his death.

Just as Charlton Heston answered with class to Clooney's stupidity, so should we now feel sorry for a bunch of God-less hateful little nothings who probably think that death happens only to others and they'll leave for ever....

While pitying those atheists, I can't but remember Dane Cook's line: God will return them as trees...which will be cut down....made to paper and come back as....a Bible....

Rest in Peace Charlton Heston!

The"Obamintion": Truths and Lies

Barck Hussein Obama would like to fool the American people into thinking that he is something else that what he really is:

- He would like to fool whites into thinking that he is "above" race (whatever that means), but the truth is that with friends such as Rev. Wright and L. Farrakhan is nothing but a closet racist
- He would like to fool Americans into thinking that he is a true patriot, but his wife's stupid remarque shows that he is just a hypocrit
- He would like to fool Americans into thinking that he has an idea about economy and foreign affairs but the truth is that he doesn't have a clue, he flip-flops on issues, talks in elusive, general terms and has no experience whatsoever in any of these areas.
- He would like to fool Jews into thinking that he is a friend of Israel when in fact his (not so distant) past proves otherwise (the picture, from a 1998 pro-Palestinian event, shows the Husseins share the table with Edward Said - PLO activist and adviser to Arafat, may he rot in hell)

How much will Obama succeed in fooling you is only up to you.
Don't be a fool!
