Email from someone that did not do well in History......
This came from one of those email chains that are propaganda put out by God knows who to make us believe God knows what, for any purpose the author wants.....The reply shows that we need to do more in our history classes in this country.
IKE'S MESSAGE General Eisenhower Warned Us It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'
This week, the UK removed the Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated while the German people looked the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets. This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world. How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' Because it offends some Muslim in the U.S. ?????? Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass this along.
IKE'S MESSAGE:What about the HOLOCAUST being perpetrated by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza? I want to know who exactly is supposed to remember these kinds of crimes? Is it the Germans? French? Americans? Russians?These are the main target populations for remembering the Holocaust.The idea was that no one stood up and challenged ideas that were obnoxious to any one people in that era in Germany. No one was sensitive to the needs of a minority view however few. The Government of Germany at the time used this minority view,
this minority of people as scapegoats for their own political agenda.Now, thanks to our not listening and lack of consideration, we have whole populations of people who have been ALLOWED to be oppressed and murdered by Israel who now turn their fury on us. And now we get to use this fury for our own narrow political and military objectives. I am sorry. I cannot remember the Holocaust as long as we allow thesame thing to happen and do nothing about it. Darfur, Rwanda, Uganda,Rhodesia, South Africa, Tibet, the Uighurs, the Untouchables, the Kurds...........the Palestinians.Phillip Wister MFT_
So Phillip....
Are you saying that we shouldn't recognize and remember real events from history unless they pass your political litmus test....do you really think that the Israelis are committing the same kind of acts on Palestinians as were perpetrated on them by the Germans...if so, you have a really skewed way of equating things and I feel really sorry for you and your clients....as for the current problems in Gaza and on the West Bank...last I heard, it was the Palestinians who were lobbing in the bombs on innocent Israelis...and as for Tibet and Darfur I am sure that you would be the first to be opposed to military intervention....so good luck with your inconsistent world view and I hope that you and others like you won't use the ballot box to get us all killed.

Oh someone Irish lecturing on holocaust. The Irish have killed each other for sport for 200 years. The highest infant mortality rate in the world is at Israeli military checkpoints. This is not a litmus test, this is what is happening and being perpetrated on the ground in Palestine. Last year just this statistic was a greater number of murdered civilians than ALL Israeli casualties civilian and military since before Israels preemptive war on Lebanon. NO GENOCIDE is acceptable in the world. This unfortunately is not Israeli foreign policy. Only the holocaust perpetrated on the Jews is supposed to be remembered and IS. We have celebrations almost yearly. This is a subtle way to whip up sympathy for a GENOCIDAL NUCLEAR power in the middle east. Yet we are set up to worry about IRAN and are led into a preemptive war with IRAQ. Drop all the propaganda and lets not forget any holocausts(including the 200,000 German prisoners of war that died in American run camps after WWII), and maybe we could actually do something about them, yes including military intervention in Darfur to stop GENOCIDE. Maybe the world would respect our country again if we lived up to our morals.
