This morning we the people of the United States of America are greeted by the news headline:
| Telegraph.co.uk | - |
Mr
Obama visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial Friday as he wrapped up
a three-day trip to Israel. He said the memorial represents a call to
confront bigotry and racism, "especially anti-Semitism.
What in the world is the meaning of this? How many holocaust memorials are there on the planet? Why is it that United States officials, with astounding regularity, use these memorials for photo ops? Was America to blame for a German leader's racism? Didn't America offer the lives of its citizens, along with untold millions of taxpayer dollars in armaments and supplies, to help rescue the victims? Shouldn't we be receiving thanks instead of repeatedly mourning the tragedy and making promises and financial commitments to ensure it never happens again?
What about Russia's victims during that same time period of the holocaust? What about all the other planetary incidents of foreign leaders torturing and murdering their citizens by the millions because of prejudice?
What about the Palestinians?
