His words and deeds betray the experience of a people – and their suffering can have no meaning without a universal human message.<br /><br />Please recall a post I wrote two months ago titled, <a href="http://swashzone.blogspot.com/2015/02/arbeit-macht-frei.html" rel="nofollow">Arbeit Macht Frei</a>. It remembers the liberation of Auschwitz and, in terms most personal of all, the memory of a maternal great-grandfather:<br /><br />“<i>Little is known of my great-grandfather. He was an author, a philosopher, and a college professor living in Prague when the Nazi army occupied Czechoslovakia. No letters or literary works survive him apart from anecdotal accounts handed down by word of mouth – until the trial of Adolph Eichmann in 1961 revealed his fate …<br /><br />According to trial testimony, Eichmann ordered the SS to stop a deportation train headed for Auschwitz and execute by firing squad a '<b>nettlesome agitator</b>' for human rights who was aboard the train.</i>”<br /><br />This is the moral legacy of my family: A maternal great-grandfather - a ‘<i>nettlesome agitator</i>’ for human rights. <br /><br />The tragic history of one people should never dismiss or invalidate the tormented narrative of another people, nor offer a rationale for Apartheid and oppression. Indeed, ethnic cleansing did not end with World War II. It happened again in Tibet (1959-1966), in Cambodia (1975-1979), in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1995), and in Rwanda (1994). It continues today in Darfur, Iraq, and Syria. <br /><br />When one ethnic group says “<b>Never Again</b>, it should mean NEVER AGAIN for all humanity. Netanyahu betrayed the meaning of a family legacy.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-92177197144121967832015-03-24T12:05:03.203-04:002015-03-24T12:05:03.203-04:00More evidence of a neoconservative trying to "...More evidence of a neoconservative trying to "Woo the Jew" (Warning: Breitbart Freight Mart after the link): <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2013/10/announcing-jews-for-cruz-2735372.html" rel="nofollow">Jews for Cruz</a> (cringe).(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.com
