2. On Remembrance Day we mustn't forget the cruelty of

Rudolf Kastner, the ZIONIST, who single-handedly sold-out 600,000 of Hungarian Jewry to Adolf Eichmann and the Nazis ym’s so he could save a train load of mostly his family and friends along with a small number of others.
3. not so strong
(04.27.14)
Israel is not so strong. We saw the IDF could do nothing while buses explode in Tel Aviv with bombs given to Fatah by corrupt Israeli politicians. We saw how the IDF was helpless as Jewish children tried to hide from rockets launched from Gaza that corrupt Israeli politicians gave to Hamas. We saw how the IDF was helpless as a third of the country cowered from rockets launched from Lebanon that corrupt Israeli politicians gave to Hezbollah. We saw how the IDF that knows to destroy Jewish homes in the dead of night and mercilessly hunt Jewish graffiti artists, could not protect 3-month old Hadas Fogel from having her throat slit by a terrorist. We see how Israeli politicians want to talk with Holocaust Denier Dr. Mahmoud Abbas so badly that they release the foulest murderers of Jews for the privilege.

Fascism is no monopoly of the right wing. Left uses fascist methods as well in their fight against Israel.
5. Kasztner

Kasztner's story is not so simple, nor so sinister. I've read two books about his efforts to save Hungarian Jews, which included included a proposal to trade Hungary's Jews for 10,000 trucks the Germans pledged to use only on the Russian front. The Western allies, unsurprisingly, refused to go along. But from what I've read -- especially in a well-researched recent book called "Kasztner's Train" -- his negotiations with Eichmann and other Germans began as a wide-ranging rescue attempt. He was aided by Hansi Brand, wife of Joel Brand, who was imprisoned by the British during an expedition to the Middle East to get Jews out of Hungary. Brand was part of a group that included Kasztner. Ultimately, they got only one trainload of about 1,600 Jews to Switzerland (in passenger cars, by the way). Was Kasztner's family aboard? Well,who wouldn't save his own family; would you leave your family to die? Kasztner and Brand's negotiations with Nazis helped slow deportations. That, too, saved lives, as did the heroic efforts of Raul Wallenberg and a few others. The fact is that Kasztner and Brand got 1,600 Jews out of the jaws of death -- and did so at great risk to themselves. If walking into a German headquarters and arguing with Eichmann isn't heroic, I don't know what is.
6. unity
Zsolt ,   Wanganui,NZ   (04.28.14)
I agree with the Prime Minister that a strong Israel is a deterrent against future threats against Jews. But we must not forget that such strength is primarily based on our Jewish national unity inside and outside of Israel. As the writings say we have to be like a "bundle of reeds", while individual reeds can easily be broken, when bundled, tied together they are unbreakable.
7. #3 the reason Israeli leadership is so lousy
Al   (04.28.14)
is because they reflect the Israeli people in their myopic selfishness. The crass expression..'Ma echpat li", sums up that disgusting attitude. Were the Jews in Israel united, not divided then things would be different. Take the example of my youngest kid who was raised by his mother to be Haredi. Her myopic world view was that everyone else is a goy and only she and her kind would ascend to heaven. She actually believed that most Jews in Israel were goyim. My younger son was attending a Yeshiva in Ofakim in 2011 when the bombs were falling all over the place. In August 2012 much to the sadness of his mother he enlisted. He told his mother at the time he was enlisting 'in order to help protect his adopted country'. His mother was beside herself in grief. Well fast forward two years and he is the pride and joy of his mother. Lesson to be learned... When al citizens actively participate in the well being of the country, the crass lousy politicians would know that their nefarious doings would never be tolerated. And so they would behave accordingly.
