The bigger obscenity to me was the absolute silence on the part of our media to counter these ridiculous claims that the holocaust never happened.

Our media should have filled the airwaves with pictures, movies, first hand accounts, bios, etc. of those that died in the camps.

But our media stayed silent. Our politicians, for the most part, stayed silent, like the coward Schumer. He has a big mouth when it comes to bashing Republicans, but is silent when it comes to someone claiming his ancestors never really experienced one of the most horrific events in world history: the Holocaust.

Add to that the deafening silence concerning the 8-10 million Christians that died then.

The West is full of wimps as leaders.

Don't forget that the Iraq Study Group wants us to negotiate with this same government, a fact which absolutely nullifies their entire report, in my opinion, and obliterates their credibility, as a group, and as participating individuals.

My only problem with this is, Jews still vote over 88 percent for Democrats who do not care about Israel.

If Israel wasn't led by such an inept government it would not just be talking about condemning Iran's anti-semitism; it would be doing something about the regime's existence there. I fear that Israel's leftist leaders have learned nothing about good and evil. Arye Markel does not understand evil is not meant to be appeased; it is meant to be annihilated and his own Prime Minister does not understake what is at stake either. That is why I find his article a complete disappointment; a historical lesson does nothing to help any one get closer to solving the present real problem. And for Jews, it is an urgent one that needs to be solved now.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

As Mr. Mekel points out - the war didn't just kill Jews. Five million others died in the camps, and fifty million others in the war.

And those others didn't die because the Allies were fighting on the Jews' behalf - they died because murderous conquerers are murderous conquerers.

Mark Steyn on Hugh Hewitt show.

MS: Yes, and I think that's right. I think one of the horrible and contemptible aspects of our generation is that we're posers. You know, after 1945, everybody said never again. It's chiseled on the markers in front of concentration camps all over Europe. Never again. Never again. And we thought those words meant something. And in fact, the never again event turns up all the time. It turns up in Rwanda. It turns up in Darfur. it turns up when we sit by and listen to people like Ahmadinejad pledging to wipe Israel off the face of the map. And we think that that is just like a kind of rhetorical ploy in the opening of negotiations. We don't understand that he does mean it, that he wants a world, and certainly a Middle East, but preferably a world, without Jews. And I think we are morals posers, and these are perhaps the most hollow words of our time, those words, never again.

HH: And as is, I think, increasingly hollow, the support that we had for the Cedar Revolution, as Hezbollah becomes more and more belligerent, and less and less inclined to do anything other than bring down the government of Lebanon. MS: Yes, and I think there is a...Hezbollah is really a kind of model for the future, that you will have these institutions that prey on weak states, and take over sections of weak states, and yet have all the advantages of not being a state entity with the responsibility that imposes. One of the most disgusting things about this settlement of the Israeli-Hezbollah war, as it was, is that you had the U.N., and you have European nations, and other nations effectively treating Hezbollah as a quasi-state entity. And who's fault is that? I mean, the U.N. gave the PLO, a terrorist organization, a seat at the United Nations. In a sense, we have made this rod for our own back.

Rest here.

Bush's response should simply be a nuke on Tehran, followed by a press release consisting of the following words: Iran, are you f***ing crazy?!?!
