    The Tsunami of Penitence

    By Israel Shamir

    Israel is a good place to watch the giant wave of gentile penitence, the
    Auschwitz Remembrance Day that lasts for a week. Sure, you can observe
    it around the globe like solar eclipse, this colossal Canossa: the
    entire world from Alaska to Antarctica stands still listening to the
    Jewish prayer and begs forgiveness. Chirac promised to remember the Jews
    France failed to save; he acknowledged the French guilt, something de
    Gaulle never did. German Chancellor was contrite even more than always;
    he has a good reason – the holocaust monument of unbelievable ugliness
    straddles Berlin as an eternal punishment. Slapping the weird Columbia
    Professors who try to distinguish between the Jews and Israel, Israeli
    national anthem Hatikwa was played in the UN for the memorial occasion.

    If you have thought the remembrance had nothing to do with Israel, think
    again. Or, better, watch Kofi Annan atoning for his sins: he sacked
    Hanson, his Gaza rep, for he annoyed Sharon; he promised to fight
    antisemitism to the last antisemite; arranged for a special session of
    the UN General Assembly, pledged to Israel his word that the UN will be
    more attentive to her needs in future. Next to Annan stood his wife – we
    were told that she is a Wallenberg, and Raul Wallenberg was a royal
    Swede who saved many Jews and was killed by the Russians. There was
    another royal Swede who saved many Jews and was killed by the Jews –
    Folke Bernadotte – but he is forgotten even in Stockholm, where a Jewish
    millionaire bought a new TV channel this week to ensure this
    forgetfulness.

    The headlines of Israeli newspapers enquire: “Did they learn the
    lesson?” Who are “they”? What lesson? The Jews won the war; that is the
    lesson for goyim, they implied. In order to deliver this lesson, some
    forty million men and women were killed, but anyway only Jews are
    remembered, so it was worth it. Nobody mentions the Russian soldiers who
    died at Stalingrad or the German civilians killed by Bomber Harris. The
    Japanese burned by the A-bomb are forgotten. As for American soldiers,
    there was Private Ryan, but he was saved.

    But if it seen everywhere, why Israel is such a good place to watch the
    Penitence Day? Because only here you won’t have an illusion that ‘the
    lesson’ refers to unacceptability of racism or of ethnic cleansing or of
    cold-blooded murder. Straight after the news, Israel TV Channel One
    started a Round Table discussion: what should be done with goyim who
    think that the commandment “be fruitful and multiply” refers to them,
    too? The biggest danger for Israel, said the American favourite, Bibi
    Netanyahu, is not the Palestinians beyond the wall – it is the Israeli
    Arab citizens. They multiply too fast. They bring in their wives and
    husbands from the occupied territories and from abroad – this privilege
    should be granted for Jews only.

    The Shas leader, Eli Yeshai, proposed to take them off National
    Insurance, so they won’t receive any financial help for their children.
    Professor Soffer fumed: the demographic bomb of non-Jews is ticking!
    There are too many of them. This is a Jewish country, the only one we
    have, while goyim have hundreds of countries to live in.

    There are a few Arabs around the round table: a young student and a
    Member of Knesset. They try to speak of racism, but their fluent Hebrew
    was not understood: racism is something done to Jews, not by Jews. We
    have only one country, and we should plan what to do with the others,
    with non-Jews, so they won’t multiply.

    On another channel, a speaker condemns Russian nationalists: they dare
    to say that they have only one country and they do not want their
    country run by the organised Jews. They do not plan to cut Jewish birth
    rate; they do not intend to expel Jews. The Russian nationalists quote
    the infamous rulings of Shulkhan Aruch now translated into Russian for
    indoctrination of the Russian Jews. They say that these rulings promote
    hatred of a goy among Jews. They want to use the hate laws against the
    Jewish hate-mongers. They say that the Jewish organisations in Russia
    openly support racist Israel. They and their fathers fought Nazi Germany
    not for benefit of some other racists, they say. The Jewish
    organisations in Russia know better what the hate laws are for; they
    demand from the Russian court to arrest the racists. Maybe they are
    racists, and maybe they are not; but they can’t be more racist than Dr
    Soffer, Bibi Netanyahu and Eli Yeshay.

    The TV set brings in more news: three-year old Palestinian girl Rahma
    Abu Shamas, was killed Wednesday morning by Israeli army, thus defusing
    somewhat the demographic threat. The Supreme Court decided to approve
    the nomination of General Dan Halutz at the position of the deputy chief
    of General Staff. When the Air Force commander Dan Halutz was asked what
    does the pilot feel releasing a one ton bomb over densely populated Gaza
    refugee camp and killing fifteen children, he replied: “A slight bump. I
    sleep well”. The judges warned him to be more careful while giving an
    interview.

    Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Wednesday that the world "didn't lift a
    finger" to stop the Holocaust. That was interesting news: I did not know
    Nazi Germany was stopped by the IDF. But indeed, death of millions of
    Russian soldiers and thousands of American and British ones is not the
    same as ‘lifting a finger’. This Sharon’s statement was an open, brazen
    insult to the vets; it was an insult to the families of the fallen
    soldiers; it was an insult to Russia, England and America. But they
    learned their lesson and quietly kneeled.
