1. he is rolling in his grave now
abdul was an idiot ,   usa   (11.14.10)
as he should
2. So in other words, Y.V. is honoring him deeply
Zvi   (11.15.10)
and has worked to preserve his legacy. The only thing that Yad Vashem has not done is to break the law and award to Wahab a specific honor in spite of that law. No surprise there.... But it has clearly done everything that it can to honor this remarkable man (Mr. Wahab) and his family.
3. Risking their lives needed ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.14.10)
Not always . Queen Mother Elizabeth of Belgium never risked her life , but was honored with the Righteous amongst the Nations award by Yad Vashem . She deserved it , but this person too .
4. Arabs and Jews...
Yossef ,   Rehovot, Israel   (11.15.10)
I know other stories of arabs, in Algeria, saving the goods of jews during WWII (Germany confiscated everything jewish) and giving it back to their owner after the war ended.

what 'law' exactly are they breaking? It's nothing more than one of their own regulations. As Faiza correctly put it: the term was coined by them and they use their own criteria. It's as simple as that.
6. I know of many instances where jews also saved arabs
Inhuf ,   amsterdam   (11.15.10)
I know of many instances where jews also saved arabs from the turks and from internicine bloodshed arabs are prone to. Humanity should attempt to distill the good people and exterminate the evil people.
7. There are thousands of ways to bash the Jews
m   (11.15.10)

9. #6 mate this is the root of the problem
Sam ,   ME   (11.16.10)
When you think that there are evil people and good people!!!? Everyone of us is cabaple of doing aweful deads. Coming together is the way forward getting rid of these labels good \ bad will actually elimintae evil on average.
10. i think she was hoping for cash reward
ghostq   (11.16.10)
historian is one thing, where r the jews he saved today? testimonies r mega importent, people save lives because its a sacred goal, it is not done to get any title or reward, she is hoping to get something extra well I don't think it work that way.
