As Israel prepares to Observe Holocaust Remembrance Day, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning, 27 Nissan, at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting released the following statement.
“This evening we will mark Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. The State of Israel will honor the memory of the six million victims of the Holocaust. The main difference between the helplessness of the Jews during the Holocaust and the situation of the Jews today is that today we have a strong, sovereign state with a strong military that can defend us against those who seek our lives.
“Iran tops the list of those who seek our lives; it has declared its intention to destroy us. In addition to its effort to arm itself with nuclear weapons, Iran arms, finances and trains Hamas and other terrorist organizations on our borders. Hamas denies the Holocaust even as it attempts to create an additional Holocaust by destroying the State of Israel. It is with this Hamas that Abu Mazen chose to form an alliance last week. Instead of issuing statements designed to placate global public opinion, Abu Mazen needs to choose between the alliance with Hamas, a terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel and denies the Holocaust, and a true peace with Israel. We hope that he will disavow this alliance with Hamas and return to the path of true peace.
“Today, the Cabinet is due to approve Finance Minister Yair Lapid’s and Social Affairs & Social Services Minister Meir Cohen’s proposal for a national plan to assist Holocaust survivors. Also, a representative of the Senior Citizens Affairs Ministry will present an initiative to assist Holocaust survivors in utilizing their full rights. We have a moral obligation to see to it that Holocaust survivors living among us can live out their lives honorably. We [also] have the supreme national responsibility of preventing another Holocaust; let us do both.”

Blablablabla… everybody is spitting on you and you say that it’s raining. It’s time to stop with the כוחי ועוצם ידי and start seeing that the creating a Jewish State against the torah, (biggest proof, that the so called Jewish state is so against everything that has a smell of torah), created the biggest problems and hatred against us.
This is just the usual politics, lies and propaganda.
He doesn’t mention what the Zionists said, did and didn’t do (and very obviously should and shouldn’t have done) both before and during WW II.
He also doesn’t mention that Israel hasn’t known even one day of peace in its ill-advised and bloody existence and its citizens are still CH”V vulnerable to Arab savages throughout the holy land.
Despite both of these points (and more), the Zionists still have the audacity to claim that the State of Israel would be able to, and actually would, act to prevent “another Holocaust”, ch”V.
The Zionists cares about one thing, and one thing only: Zionism, including its various organs of shmad like the State of Israel and its army. Everything else the Zionists do, as Rav Chaim said around a century ago, is merely a means to that end.
The State of Israel cannot stop another Holocaust. It can not even stop crude missiles from Gaza, Hizbullah from rearming in Lebanon and Iran from getting a bomb. It is dependent on the United States for everything. A little humility and reality check by Netanyahu would be in place. Honor the victims but don’t go on delusional tangents.
Unless its a spiritual holocaust that we can encourage
What an unfortunate DUMMY!
