In Remembrance of Holocaust Day

Yesterday was Holocaust Day. Like most “Days” it was created to satisfy a narrow purpose. For example, the label “Hallmark Holiday” was invented to describe all those “Days” that are just there to take advantage of your emotions and fatten the profits of corporations while wasting time and killing trees. In our own time, Martin Luther King day has become a test that blacks can use to measure politicians against. At our house, we mainly celebrate St. Patricks Day and Halloween because those two don’t seem to have any purpose other than an excuse to act silly and maybe have a beer with friends. Color Country has a great St. Patricks Day parade. It’s generally the first really nice day in the spring. (Spring Comes to Springdale and I Love a Parade.)

The State of Israel was created by Zionists (Not Jews, Zionists. There is a difference.) who used the Holocaust as a springboard to overcome the relatively powerless people who lived there at the time. That success is the main thing Zionists remember. They do their best to make sure that any actual “healing” never happens and the wound is kept as fresh and bleeding as possible.

I’m not a “Holocaust denier” – it really did happen and it really was a horrible tragedy that we should never repeat – but the insistance of Zionists that we continually genuflect to this particular tragedy is not doing any good for the world, or even the state of Israel. (Which is now a “fact on the ground” whether it was justified in 1947 or not.) It’s not the only time humans have murdered their neighbors on a massive, state-sponsored scale. From St. Bartholomew’s Day 1572 to the genocide still going on in Darfur, we seem to do that on a regular basis. The Zionists want the world to think that the particular tragedy that happened to them justifies whatever they do perpetually into the future.

I’m not the only one who thinks so. I don’t like to simply point to other blogs and articles here because I do my best to keep this content original. But Gideon Levy, writing in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, has done such a great job of explaining why the world should not fall victim to the posturing of Zionists that I had to at least point to it.

In my opinion, Mr. Levy is not an enemy of Israel; he’s a better patriot than the Zionists in power now. The interest of all of the people who now live in the middle east is to settle this and move into the future.
