the indifference of the Church, led by Pope Pius XII of Rome

This again. Does no one do research anymore? This has been debunked countless times.

In exile, the Jews were always exposed to both physical destruction and religious persecution by both the Christian crusades and the Islamic Jihad.

Enough is indeed enough. I'm sick and tired of people saying Christians persecuted anyone. Real Christians don't do this. You don't see Christians going around blaming all Jews for crucifying Jesus Christ, the Lord of lords and King of kings and saviour of he whole wide world, do you?

No, of course not. Real Christians don't persecute or hate anyone.

Enough already!

Please post a barf alert next time you post article filled with lies like this one.

Yet I must say that I´ve always felt as if American leaders have been saying to us , "OK - we´ve recognized the independence of Israel, but we didn´t really mean that you be independent. We will tell you when and how you can defend yourself, and where you may establish Jewish communities in your own country."

We have the right to tell the Israelis how and when to defend themselves because we pay their tab. Money always comes with strings attached.

In exile, the Jews were always exposed to both physical destruction and religious persecution by both the Christian crusades and the Islamic Jihad. These hateful attempts at exterminating the Jewish people came to their unbelievable peak during the Holocaust.

The Christian Crusades attempted to exterminate the Jewish people?
Is this true?

Hitler drew his ideology from Christian sources and sought the advice of the Mufti Husseini of Jerusalem, who eagerly became Hitler´s partner in planning the "final solution" for the Jews.

Hitler didn't draw his ideology from Christian sources, as much as he distorted Christian ideology for his own evil and non-Christian purposes. There is a big difference.

The thing that has always impressed me the most about the people of Israel is how they walked into a desert and within years produced a garden. Their love and passion for their land is reflected in the way the land has responded to them. How can anyone possibly doubt that God intended for the Jews to inhabit this part of the earth?

Bump for this letter--

[F16Fighter]

United States Rabbi Eliezer Waldman:

Jews were always expose to both physical destruction and religious persecution by both the Christian crusades and the Islamic Jihad...[and] Hitler drew his ideology from Christian sources...[who] eagerly became Hitler's partner in planning the "final solution" for the Jews.

Rabbi Waldman is a pompous, bigot who would rather pronounce a sweeping indictment of millions of Christians through lies and distortions that ironically would make Dr. Goebbels proud.

I sent him the same message, but more concise. No more $ to the Republican party until GW stops treating the Israelis as moral equivalent bad guys in this. They've been repeatedly attacked over the years by the Arabs, and have established settlements as protective buffer zones. They'd like nothing more than to be LEFT ALONE. Imperative: Recto-cranial extraction for GW. He's getting extremely BAD advice. Probably from the Colon.

Without Christian support for Israel through the many years Israel would likely be no more. That is the plain simple truth.

Talk about bite the hand the feeds…

The US takes a lot of heat from the world due to our support of Israel. That heat, our money and resourced given to Israel give us some say.

[iopscusa]

The American people have spoken....we support Israel!!! Israel is the only ally we have in this area and maybe anywhere. When the IDF leads the charge through Damascus and Baghdad with the most wll equipped , trained and motivated armed forces in the world you will know where our support has benefitted the USA. The IDF>>the Spearhead!!

In exile, the Jews were always exposed to both physical destruction and religious persecution by both the Christian crusades and the Islamic Jihad. These hateful attempts at exterminating the Jewish people came to their unbelievable peak during the Holocaust. Hitler drew his ideology from Christian sources and sought the advice of the Mufti Husseini of Jerusalem, who eagerly became Hitler´s partner in planning the "final solution" for the Jews. This was implemented with the unconscionable passive silence of the Western powers, the indifference of the Church, led by Pope Pius XII of Rome, and the active aid of European nations.

The author of this article is nuts!

[Romulus]

Welcome to Free Republic. Why not take this opportunity to dissociate yourself from the blood libel you posted, that Pius XII was indifferent to the Holocaust?

Hitler drew his ideology from Christian sources

This is a slander. Hitler drew his ideology from ANTI-Christian sources.

Yet I must say that I´ve always felt as if American leaders have been saying to us , "OK - we´ve recognized the independence of Israel, but we didn´t really mean that you be independent. We will tell you when and how you can defend yourself, and where you may establish Jewish communities in your own country."

A nation can do whatever it d*mn well pleases when it is militarily strong enough to defend itself without any outside help from any other nation on Earth.

Once Israel can fight an all-out war with it's neighbors without having to rely on the United States of America for a massive logistics re-supply operation two weeks into the war, then Israel can start putting on airs about what they have a "right" to do.

In the mean time, the United States of America will tell Israel when and if it is in the vital interest of the United States to have the United States dragged into an Israeli war.

At the moment, Israel is a military adolescent living in Daddy's house and using Daddy's credit card. When you live in Daddy's house, you follow Daddy's rules. If Israel does not want to follow Daddy's rules, then Israel needs to move out of Daddy's house and assume complete responsibility for it's own military logistics.

So it is with children. So it is with nations. Quite simple, really.

[A. Pole]

Never has there been a precedent of a desolate and barren land suddenly flowering and blossoming. The State of Israel established its central position in the world in the fields of agriculture, medicine, science, hi-tech and social services. All this as preparation for implementation of our destiny to bring a blessing to the nations of the world.
