I find it most fascinating that those people who cry over what happened to Europe's Jews during WW2, are not as motivated when it comes to protecting the remaining 13m Jews ( including those who survived WW2 and their offspring).

The obvious example is Israel, which has never had one moment's peace since it's creation in 1948. Every war that it fought subsequently, was designed by the Arab enemy and their supporters, to complete Hitler's final solution. Let's not lose sight of that. This mindset still exists, and in fact, has become more determined.

Fortuantely, for one reason or another, Israel has been able to defend itself from extinction, thanks mainly to it's own desire to survive, support from world Jewry and good-hearted patrons, ie, the US, France (at one time), Germany (in order to atone for it's past), and Russia (initially).

But the world, most especially, the US, and England, could have done much more...and could now stop being fair-weathered friends, pandering to Saudi Arabia and their oil interests, at Israel's expense. England still boycotts Israel, and the Bush administration has been pushing a 2 state solution, when this will only create another Hamastan (Gaza Strip)..be a threat to Jordan, and US allies in the area, if not pro-West Jordan (a majority Palestinian population) and ally itself with Syria, Iran, the insurgents in Iraq, and Al Qaeda.

In fact, Jordan, to those not informed, is the real Palestine (under the old British Mandate for Palestine).

Bombing Auschwitz, according to US historians, would have not helped much, but speeded up the death of it's Jewish inmates. The tracks leading to would have been rebuilt overnight, and other camps would have taken up the slack. I am more concerned about 1,000,000 Hungarian Jews who did not achieve their freedom because we (the Allies) were unwilling to trade 10,000 trucks (when Germany was almost defeated anyway), or the fact that the US did not open it's doors sooner to Jewish immigration, or Britain kept up the "White Paper" restricting Jews from Palestine (to appease the Arab oil interests).

It's real easy for Bush, or anyone else to cry now for the 2m Jews who died in Auschwitz, but it's meaningless. So what? No Jews killed during WW2 has ever come back, and the Jewish people, as a people, still haven't recovered from that calamity.
