I advise all who have a chance, to listen to the Sanity Squad's podcasts on this, excellent:

Sanity Squad: Equal-Opportunity Victims
Multi-culturalism has met the Holocaust. There’s a movement afoot to make Holocaust remembrances more “inclusive;” especially in Britain, where the Muslim Council has been campaigning to replace “Holocaust Memorial Day” with “Genocide Day,” and proposing that the latter should include the so-called Israeli genocide against the Palestinians. The Squad discusses the benefits of victimhood, Kerry’s dissing of the US, Carter’s attitude towards history, and the only cause the Left ever championed and then abandoned.

Sanity Squad: Walk Softly and Carry a Toothpick
Benny Morris’s sobering Jerusalem Post article paints a picture of a Second Holocaust—a nuclear-armed Iran willing to sacrifice the loss of millions of its own people to have the satisfaction of destroying Israel, and an Israel whose own nuclear weapons would be of no real use against an enemy so resistant to deterrence. Is there any way out of this dreadful dilemma? The Sanity Squad discusses paranoia vs. denial, the West as the enabler of its own enemies, and Iran’s vulnerabilities.
