Holocaust Day for 6 million Nazi victims; just another day for Palestine’s untold number of victims of Zionists

In a lopsided April 7 Associated Press (AP) article that begins with a Semitic sad song of Misrememberance day for Jewish victims of Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, we read “Among the crowds who marked Israel’s annual Holocaust Remembrance day at the Yad Vashem memorial Monday was a retired American Air Force colonel from San Francisco who came to honor a family he never knew.

“Bertrand Huchberger was too young to remember his parents, who sent him and his older sister from Paris into the French countryside to escape the Nazi roundups during World War II. For three years he was hidden by Christian rescuers, including a prostitute, before he was put into an orphanage and adopted by American Jews when he was 11 and taken to New York.

“Now 75, Huchberger took part in a rite that has become a centerpiece of the Israel annual Memorial Day for the 6 million Jews killed in the genocide by reading the names of his dead relatives: his parents, Alexander and Elenora Noz, and his brother, Albert, who stayed behind in Paris. All were killed.

“’It is still settling in,’ said Huchberger. ‘It was just overwhelming. This place is ‘terra sancta’ (holy ground) for people who have been associated with the Holocaust.’ Huchberger has only a single photograph to remember his family. ‘Now I feel that I find myself and my heritage, and it’s just uplifting . . . it helps build a spiritual bridge to my parents.’”

One wonders if the 75-year old Huchberger ever heard of the Orthodox Jewish historian Ilan Pappe’s book Ethnic The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, which describes the events pre-1948, when Zionist terrorist gangs invaded Palestine in great numbers and drove out 800,000 Palestinians, wounding, killing, and raping thousands of others, leaving hundreds of Palestinian villages in ruins.

The first flaw was that land owned by generations of Palestinians whose record keeping was mainly from memory and tradition and not necessarily formal documents, provided a groove into which the Jewish immigrants could shove their money like a crowbar to pry loose the hold of Palestinians from their lands, their blessed olive trees and their culture.

The AP story goes on, “Israeli high school students looked at a model of Israeli high school students look at a model of the Warsaw Ghetto at the museum “From Holocaust to Revival” in Kibbutz Yad Mordechai near the costal town of Ashkelon, Sunday, April 7, 2013. The annual Israeli memorial day for the 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust of the World War II begins at sundown Sunday.

“The ceremony known as ‘Every Person Has a Name,’ [which] tries to go beyond the incomprehensible numbers to personalize the stories of individuals, families and communities destroyed during the war. At the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials also read names of their relatives murdered in the Holocaust.” Perhaps some of them should have read the many names of innocent Palestine immigrants, freedom-fighters, children, women, or pregnant mothers destroyed by the Zionist killing-machine.

What again is not mentioned in this colossal lapse of AP memory is that the Palestinians fought with the British and French against Germany’s Nazis, and in turn were promised their hold on Palestinian land. In fact, Palestine had no contacts or business ever with inflicting the brute ferocity of Nazi Germany on Jews. So mixing the blame somehow in the cement of time with the Palestinians as Jews’ tormentors and murderers is a lie, unpardonable for a news outfit like AP. Point to the outrageous Balfour Agreement and the British Royals who were already playing footsy with the Nazis, who were ready to make those kinds of awful sacrifices of Jewish blood. Then members of the Israeli Parliament you might have a totally genuine case.

But one supposes the war-financing Rothschilds and their banking interests in Parliament might have had something soto voce to say about that, so that an innocent people could take the blame for England’s later failures to take on the Nazis, even for their Royals to be flirting with Hitler, and seriously attempting to make peace pacts with him. The Palestinians were forced to eat 65 years of shit as England turned its back and left the country as described in the historylearningsite.co. Here is a taste of that brutal story . . .

“The bombing of the King David Hotel occurred in July 1946 and some saw it as a pivotal moment in recent Middle East history. The King David Hotel was the site for the British Military Command in Palestine. It also served as the headquarters of the British Criminal Investigation Division. The bombing of the hotel galvanized the British into realizing that their time in Palestine was coming to an end. And mostly it was a false flag attack against Palestine.

“On June 29th 1946, the British unexpectedly entered the premises of the Jewish Agency and took away with them a large number of documents—some of which were deemed to be sensitive. All the documents were taken to the King David Hotel where they were to be assessed by intelligence analysts. At around the same time, the British arrested 2,500 Jews in Palestine. [These] were members of Irgun, a Jewish secret organisation [deemed to be a terrorist group by the British who] decided to target the hotel for vengeance and also as a way of destroying the documents that had been taken by the British.

“The leader of Irgun, Menachem Begin, claimed that Irgun saw the hotel solely as a military building—and therefore a legitimate target. The crazed Begin claimed that three warnings were sent out on July 22nd 1946 about the planned attack to keep casualties to the minimum. Begin claimed that three phone calls were made to a) to the French Consulate b) to the hotel itself and c) to the Palestine Post.

“Any warnings were to no avail. The British did not evacuate the hotel and the bombing killed 91 people and injured 45. Ironically, few people in the hotel itself were killed—and Jews were among the casualties.

“ . . . The false flag bombing of the King David hotel by members of the Irgun and other terror gangs . . . was accomplished by having gang members dressed as Arabs who brought in large containers of what was supposed to be milk, when in fact the cans contained explosives. Of course, The Jewish National Council immediately condemned the attack.” But, again, the stigma of the crime remained with Palestine. As does 9/11 stigmatize Muslims today, when in fact Israel played a big hand in facilitating that false flag attack as well.

Nevertheless on Holocaust Day AP writes, “In an annual ritual, the country came to a standstill at 10 a.m. Monday to honor the victims when sirens wailed for two-minutes across the country. Pedestrians stood in place, buses stopped on busy streets and cars pulled over on major highways, their drivers standing on the roads with their heads bowed.”

It seems to anyone seriously thinking about this event, that the Zionists had singled out Palestine purposely as the scapegoat and ersatz false flag enemy of Israel and mass murderer of the Jews. This is despite the fact that Great Britain and France shared culpability for not responding to the Israeli warnings, that is, if the Zionists really made those warnings.

Yet AP writes, “In homes and businesses, people stopped what they were doing to pay homage to the victims of the Nazi genocide, in which a third of world Jewry was annihilated.” Again, the awful crimes were not committed by Palestinians, but the Nazis. With the successful false flag attack the Zionists merely sat back ready to purloin Palestinian lands and proceed to its ethnic cleansing of that country. The Zionist cynicism runs so deep here it’s amazing.

AP adds, “A wreath laying ceremony at Yad Vashem followed, with Israeli leaders, Holocaust survivors and visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in attendance. Other ceremonies, prayers and musical performances took place in schools, community centers and army bases.

“The annual remembrance is one of the most solemn on Israel’s calendar. Restaurants, cafes and places of entertainment shut down, and radio and TV programming were dedicated almost exclusively to documentaries about the Holocaust, interviews with survivors and somber music. The Israeli flag flew at half-staff.”

This reminds me of a biting line from the Israeli critic Norman Finkelstein, “There’s no business like the Shoah business.” Shoah is the Hebrew word meaning “catastrophe,” denoting the catastrophic destruction of European Jewry during World War II. The term is used in Israel, and the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament) has designated an official day, called Yom ha-Shoah, as a day of commemorating the Shoah or Holocaust.

One would imagine that the bombing of the King David Hotel would also remain in the annual remembrance on that dark day in 1946. That so the memory of scapegoating Palestine by Zionist Israel suffered its birth with a tragic new war between once natural neighbors, now seeking only revenge.

AP continues this sad song of planned errors, “In parliament, Peres recited the names of his family members killed along with 2,060 members of their community in August 1942 in the town of Vishneva, part of the coming World War II in Poland and in Belarus.” [Palestine, by the way, is nowhere near Poland or Belarus], though “Peres, 89, was already in Israel.” Is that to remember Zionist Israel’s dementia? Or is it full-fledged Alzheimer’s?

Please repeat AP, absolutely none of the Nazi atrocities had anything to do with the Palestinians, who were a peaceful and farming people. Yes, “Nazis and their local collaborators rounded up the Jews and herded them into a wooden synagogue. Peres said his grandfather, a prominent rabbi, wrapped in a prayer shawl, walked at the head of the community into the building. The Nazis then shot at the structure and set it on fire, burning the people inside to death.” That is true and horrible and makes for inevitable hate, though in Palestine’s case it is tragically misplaced.

In fact AP writes, “This year’s commemoration marked 70 years since the Warsaw ghetto uprising, a symbol of Jewish resistance against the Nazis that resonates deeply in Israel to this day.” So, finally, the real oppressors and murderers are seen. And the following occurred . . .

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising was the first large-scale rebellion against the Nazis in Europe and the single greatest act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Though guaranteed to fail, it became a symbol of struggle against impossible conditions and inspired other acts of uprising and underground resistance. Yes, that is the truth, heroic and worth remembering.

“At the opening state ceremony Sunday night at Yad Vashem, Israeli leaders linked the desperate Jewish revolt of 1943 to the warrior mentality that enabled the establishment of Israel five years later.”

Consequently, this would be an excellent time for Israeli Zionist leaders to uncouple the link that somehow the Palestinians wanted to yoke Jews as their killing enemies in perpetuity. This is a sad commentary on Israel, that it couldn’t rebuff its real torturers, but instead garnered the sympathy of the world, and a multi-billion dollar fortune from the United States over a course of 65 years, with which it built a world-class air force and military (IDF) and used it to bully, abuse, and try to exterminate the Palestinian people, as once the Nazis did to them.

In fact, Zionist Israel has continued to steal Palestinian lands, to humiliate its people, to encourage endless settlers to occupy Gaza, the Golan Heights, and leave only fragments of land on Israel’s western and eastern boundaries and a scattering of territories in its northeast territories.

It is not for nothing that Palestinian has earned the reputation of being the world’s largest outdoor concentration camp. I wish AP and the world would focus on that reality, that the past is being repeated, and innocents are being slaughtered again, for trying to defend themselves with unsophisticated weapons, tin-can rockets unlike those supplied by the USG to make Israel the master of the mid-east, including bombing Syria, and to protect the oil, the blasted oil, the devil’s oil for he USG.

The Zionists have also tied the Nazi genocide to Iran’s suspected drive to acquire nuclear arms and urged the world to stop it. It is said the Iranian leaders have repeatedly denied the scope of the Holocaust while making references to the destruction of Israel. But the Zionists have also refused to speak of their nuclear facility built in Dimona in 1956 with the help of the French, the same people who helped the Nazis round up Jews.

Yet, Israel possesses three to four hundred nuclear missiles and is dying now (literally) to launch them on Iran, another neighbor developing a nuclear program for medical use. In fact, writer Roi Tov reports that Israel Admits Nuclear Cancer Cases. This is a result of leakage from its aging Dimona nuclear reactor. Tov was a Christian Israeli and former IDF Captain. He was exiled because he could not reconcile his religious beliefs with his military role. He is now a prisoner of Bolivia, from which he writes his excellent articles. Check out the one above.

Returning to Holocaust Day ceremonies, Netanyahu said that, “The murderous hatred against the Jews that has accompanied the history of our people has not disappeared; it has just been replaced with a murderous hatred of the Jewish state.” But there are reasons, Bibi. Read them. He went on to say, “What has changed since the Holocaust is our determination and our ability to defend ourselves,” that is, with the help of America. And to scapegoat the Palestinians for the Nazi crimes, acting exactly like the bullies the Nazis were. There is no lesson learned here, merely the exercise of blind revenge.

Bibi goes on, “Israel was created just three years after the end of the war, and hundreds of thousands of survivors made their way to Israel. Today, they are among fewer than 200,000 elderly survivors in Israel, and the mass murder of Jews during World War II is still a central part of Israel’s psyche.” For the people who gave us Sigmund Freud, that shows a remarkable lack of consciousness. The Jews have reversed roles with their murderers.

Zionist Israel should take a second look at history and realize their killers were European Nazis, not Middle Eastern neighbors, from whom they stole the land for the Zionist’s long-sought site for “the chosen people.” If not, they face the condemnation of the whole world as war-mongers, and once again, they could face a terrible reality, one that can be avoided only if they see and think clearly about who their real oppressors were and are. This lack of clarity could bring take them over the brink of disaster one more time.
