Subject: RE: BS: Again?
Nice wiggle, beardedbruce, no cigar. This quote does not mention 1938 at all, and this is the quote I have a problem with...

"The establishment of Israel was a Jewish declaration to a world that had allowed the Holocaust to happen -- after Hitler had made his intentions perfectly clear -- that the Jews would henceforth resort to self-protection and self-reliance. And so they have, building a Jewish army, the first in 2,000 years, that prevailed in three great wars of survival (1948-49, 1967 and 1973).

This is a broad sweeping condemnation of the entire world for having "allowed" the Holocaust to happen, a Holocaust that was ongoing right up until the end of the European part of WWII. All of the people who died fighting Hitler were helping to stop the Holocaust. All I am asking is that people stop holding the entire world responsible for the behavior of some people. That is not too much to ask.

Thus, your use of your uncle to try to take credit for saving the Jews is a bit much.

This cheap shot is even worse than the other. The depths of your contemptible behavior know no bounds, beardbruce. I have never tried to take credit for anything my unlce did, nor have I ever claimed that my uncle "saved" the Jews.

You really ought to quit while you are behind. You're just digging yourself in deeper and deeper. And you do not help your cause by behaving in this way.
