This is a great WWII historical article, well worth bookmarking. A great argument for the right to keep and bear arms.

Mark Levin talked about this article yesterday on his radio program starting at the 59:25 mark.

Some Jews survived the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Their story is the most compelling part of the film “Shoah.”

We should pay very close attention to this so that we are prepared in case the hideously similar Agenda 21 is implemented.

It's also the subject of Leon Uris Mila 18.

ADL National Director Jonathan Greenblatt said that Carson “has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler’s gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate … gun control did not cause the Holocaust; Nazism and anti-Semitism did.”

Carson dismissed the ADL statement in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday.

“That’s total foolishness,” Carson told George Stephanopoulos. “It is well known that in many places where tyranny has taken over, they first disarm the people.”

But when Poland regained its independence in 1919, thanks to the Versailles Treaty, the nation degenerated into military dictatorship, and much of the population was antisemitic.

No more than any other European country, just another lame attempt to paint all Poles as anti-semitic.

By choosing to stand and fight, the Warsaw Jews diverted a significant amount of Nazis resources from battlefields elsewhere, thus hastening the Nazi defeat.

It was basically two training battalions of Waffen SS who were stationed nearby, along with a few hundred other odds and ends. About 2000 men total. The Germans suffered 17 dead and 94 wounded. On the Jewish side, there were about 13,000 dead and 56,000 survivors shipped off to the death camps.

This is a very interesting read and it even more emphasizes how weak and small minded the nature of comedian Seth Rogan’s rude and profane filled response to Ben Carson’s comments on the Jews and Nazi Germany’s gun control laws was.

I don’t know if the uprising diverted that many troops. Two training battalions of SS troops, some SS MPs, a few Wehrmacht regulars and engineers, and some Polish and Ukrainian askaris and police — about 2000 men all told, many of which weren’t front-line troops to begin with.

“he Jewish Defense Association was the first time that uptown establishment German Jews and downtown Eastern Jewish immigrants came together. The JDA’s goal had little in common with the empty rubber chicken dinner agendas of what the establishment that grew out of it would become.

Instead the Jewish Defense Association’s mission was simple. Buy guns for Jews.

Its agenda, as reported by the New York Times was, “New massacres are preparing. Our people must be possessed of arms to defend themselves and their honor.”

The year was 1905.”
