British MP: Jews Didn't Learn the Lesson from the Holocaust

A Liberal Democrat MP in Britain faces expulsion from the party for saying Jews had not learned from the murder of six million in the Holocaust in their treatment of Palestinian Authority Arabs, the Daily Mail reports.

David Ward, MP for Bradford East, wrote on his own website that he was “saddened” that Jews “could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians…on a daily basis.”

“Having visited Auschwitz twice – once with my family and once with local schools – I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza,” Ward wrote.

He later defended his comments in interviews, saying they were a “just a statement of fact”, and adding that “it appears that the suffering by the Jews has not transformed their views on how others should be treated.”

“Jews have experienced bigotry in this nation, being excluded from business clubs and even golf clubs.”

And what does this have to do with consistently voting democrap?

When did FDR (mister do absolutely nothing while Jews were being murdered) become a Republican? When did every business that turned away Jews become a Republican establishment? And as far as socialism, none of them moved to Russia, where Stalin was only slightly less effective at killing them than Hitler.

And for something a little more recent:

“One of the most prominent figures at John Kerry’s nominating convention was the Rev. Al Sharpton, who seemed almost as fixed a presence at Kerry’s side the night of his acceptance speech as were the nominee’s wife and vice presidential candidate John Edwards.

Yet, it is common knowledge that this failed contender for the Democratic nomination incited anti-Jewish violence in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in 1991 and in Harlem in 1995. In the latter incident he encouraged the explicitly anti-Semitic boycott and picketing of a Jewish-owned store named “Freddy’s.” Eight employees of the store were killed in a fire started by one of Sharpton’s followers.”

Sorry, but Jews supporting democraps is like blacks supporting the Confederacy - makes no sense at all.

Emotionally a good argument, but strategically flawed. Jews were thrown out of Israel for over 1700 years. Coming back after WW2 in huge numbers displacing Arabs who live there will ignite ethnic conflict. Muslim Arabs by nature are not tolerant. Now we have a strategic mess dragging the US into a long costly conflict with the Islamic Arab world. In the beginning the Arabs ran away in battle, but they now have found a new weapon, their religion and not fearing death, the suicide bomber. Arabs in Israel do not like their Jewish rulers, even if their lives are better and democratic. That is the nature of Arabs, they are not Americans or Europeans. The US backs Israel in the ME and the Arabs will be on our backs till Israel is destroyed. Question is can the US afford such a conflict while in huge debt? I think the Iraq War and Afghanistan War provides us the answer. US will abandon Israel. So when the US backed the partition in 1948 did the US do the Jewish survivors a real favor or did we set them up for another Holocaust?

A quote from Iranian school book from a chapter on Paganism:

“...Ancient people were primitive and unaware about Jews. For that reason they falsely blamed the powers of nature for their troubles. That led people to personalization of these powers...”

Good grief! Western leftists are all twisted and jacked up to rationalize the justified mass murder of eeeevil Jews...AGIAN!

In past, I took comfort in the US being the rock or safe haven of the world for Jews (and Christians) should European leftists ever fly off the deep end of hating and demonizing the Jews again. But the same mentality has now set into American leftists their Dear Reader.

Whereas before Obama, the American Left did not have the centralized power and machine to murder a group of people enmass, today with the American police state and the machinery of Homeland InSecurity, I can’t say that anymore -at least for orthodox Jews and Christians on American soil.

Obama and his leftist pals in Europe are getting ready to impose Obama’s terms for a peace agreement on Israel. Of all the times for BiBi’s power to be weakened in Israel, this is a bad time. The American and European Left have risen to power and have not only placed radical Islam in power over the Arab Nations surrounding Israel; they have actually joined radical Islam in their cause against Israel and Christians.

We are living in interesting times, unfortunately.

Kabbalist Calls for Jews to Return Home

A Kabbalist Elder in Bnei Brak told his students on Friday, Dec.21, 2012 that time is running out for Diaspora Jews to return to the Jewish State.

Rabbi Eliyahu Leon Levi, a 73-year-old sage of Turkish Jewish descent who continues a tradition of Kabbalah from his grandfather and father, issued a passionate cry for the Jews of the United States to purchase homes in Israel and begin planning their move.

He said that just like in Iran before the Shah was ousted, the Jews were prospering financially. But then suddenly everything changed, and many couldn’t leave with their wealth.

“A similar scenario will occur in the USA,” he warned. Jews must leave and take their money with them. The day will come when they won’t be able to leave with their wealth,” he said...

I agree, but their millenia-long experiences tell them differently.

Some Jews left Israel, but not all. Jews have been there since time immemorial.

You’ve been lied to.

Last I looked, there were no Jews feeding Palestinians into ovens, and the only ‘camps’ are the ones the rest of the Arab world left the Palestinians in so they would get radicalized.

Thanks Nachum. He's visited Auschwitz twice as a tourist, and still hates the Jews (evidenced by the FACT that he lies about them) hence, he needs a little lesson of his own.
He later defended his comments in interviews, saying they were a “just a statement of fact”, and adding that “it appears that the suffering by the Jews has not transformed their views on how others should be treated.”
Actually, Jews created Israel in large part BECAUSE of what Europeans like Ward did to European Jewry -- IOW, they learned the only possible lesson that comes from the Holocaust, that they need their own state.

Dont judge us all by David Ward. He is a Liberal Democrat, which basically means he is a child. They have been a minor party of the center left for decades - generations - and most of their members are totally sold on the joys of putting it to "the man". Basically they sit on the sidelines and point out why everyone else is wrong, which is very enjoyable. They get to feel morally superior to working politicians and there is no possible come back against their naively ridiculous alternative policies, because everyone knew there was no chance that they would ever be tried out. Well, now they ARE in government in the UK, albeit as the minor partner in a coalition with the Conservatives, and they are involved in all the decision making, with all its maneouvering and compromises. The result is obvious. Their membership has halved (its not fun being grown up) and their share of the vote has plummeted.

These statements are not to be taken seriously. The only life lesson you can take from them is to illustrate just how much of a disaster living in fantasy land can be.

A little note from a UK Freeper.

David Ward is a liberal democrat, which would basically correspond to the more radical elements of the US Democrat party.

David Ward is an MP for the city of Bradford, which coincidentally has one of the highest proportions of Muslims (and therefore Muslim voters) in the UK.

These two facts might just possibly assist you in putting his comments into context...
