At the request of the Israeli Air Force delegation to Poland, Yad Vashem workers searched the Hall of Names for Pages of Testimony for individuals who were murdered on the same day, 60 years prior to the delegation’s trip.

Also today, the administration of the museum at that death camp criticized the flyover that will occur saying that "we criticize the showing of the power of Israel's army in this location" (Israeli media quotes Reuters).

Oh, too damn bad. After they do the official flyover in somber fashion, those IDF fighter jocks should come back around in full afterburn and buzz the place at mach 2, forty feet off the deck, and bust every window in the place.

Protest that. Every Jew worth their salt would be cheering in the streets.

I think it is very appropriate. I think it is poetic justice/irony that sixty years later the Jewish nation will be fielding flyers of this skill and capacity (representatives of the best in the Israeli Defense Forces) in tactical fighter planes that are top of the line in the world, over an area that still remains almost the blackest in human history, if not the lowest in Jewish history.

The irony is mindnumbing....
