It's a touchy topic, about which I certainly want to know more. Even when armed with overwhelming facts, it is best to use tact in such matters.

I'm not here to defend FDR. His opposition to Jewish immigration, not to America, the country probably supported him in that, but to Palestine is well known. However there were legitimate tactical reasons not to target the railways. There's nothing connecting the two, which doesn't excust the immigration to Palestine issue.

You're thinking of the St. Louis. Actually, of the just under 1,000 passengers returned to Europe, nearly half are thought to have survived (Britain let several hundred in).

The show of Israeli airpower over a Nazi deathcamp is very poignant to me, and a beautiful symbol.

There is no better way to say "Never again!" than to back it up with the muscle to prevent it from happening.

I hope the tormented, demonic shade of Adolph Hitler might, through some miracle, have seen the final seal of his eternal defeat as Jews, in planes bearing the insignia of a free Jewish nation, flew unopposed over the skies of Germany.

There is an element of spiritual payback in this act.

"Is it true the IAF overflew Damascus recently, in particular the president's compound, while he was there?"

I haven't seen anything regarding Damascus, but it would not surprise me. Israeli jets are known to um, "make their presence known" in all of the neighboring Arab countries from time to time.

While this no doubt rankles their neighbors, Israel apparently feels it's not a bad idea to remind people who's who around there.

Call it "proactive deterrence". :^)

Not just poetic justice, but facts on the ground.

Amen. Praise G-d for this. May the House of Israel walk every day in the knowledge of Him. Shalom Israel, forever.

"And then, on the way home, they can drop off a payload over Gaza."

Ma'am, if things work out in the future in your sphere of influence, in country, I think your tag line should soon read:

Proud Mother Of An IDF Warrior.  

The USMC has those window decals that say as much; the IDF should have the same thing.

“....allied planes flew over Auschwitz in 1944 and could have bombed the gas chambers, but instead bombed only the adjacent oil factories...."

What is the evidence that the people flying/scheduling the missions knew there were gas chambers there.

What was the altitude of the aircraft ?

What was the geographical size of the gas chambers ?

What was the accuracy of the bomb sights ?

[SJackson]

Naah, we'll all just send pizza, ice cream and burgers.

Well I'll be a son-of-a-gun. How 'bout that? :-D
