9-11: A Bad Day to Bury the Holocaust
By Zalmi Unsdorfer, Chairman of Likud-Herut in the UK
I expected lots of things from my morning newspaper on this, the fourth anniversary of 9/11. Tributes to the victims and the fire-fighters. Perhaps even news of another bin Laden outrage somewhere in the world to remind the infidels who is calling the shots.
Living in London, I have come to expect the most skewed and specious reports in our news media, especially where it concerns anything remotely Jewish.
But today's front page left me totally nonplussed. For today, of all days, plans were revealed to abolish Holocaust Memorial Day because it offends Muslims.
It took almost 50 years for Jews to install a Holocaust Memorial Day in Britain and just 4 years for Muslims to scupper it. Let’s face it; this kind of decision could hardly have been made much closer to 9/11. Few people would have cared about sensitivity to Muslim feelings in 2002 or even 2003. But in 2005? Well, by now all seems to have been conveniently forgotten. The nation of Islam has yet to apologise convincingly for the immolation of thousands of innocent souls in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon at the hands of its Jihadist agents. And yet, barely two months after the London bombings, we fret over these people’s sensitivities in a context of mass murder?
This is one of those days I am glad my late father was spared from seeing. Had he survived beyond the age of 42 from the heart disease he contracted in Auschwitz, he would probably have been against the idea of a Holocaust Day. He never expected English people to shed tears for Jews then or in the future. All he ever wanted was for the world to know what happened to him, his parents and 6 million of his people. How supposedly civilised and educated people stood idly by as man committed the most unbelievable atrocities against his fellow man. How, in effect, human beings turned into something less than animals.
Beyond the Nazi death machine, can there be any better contemporary example of sub-animal behaviour than those who calmly turned passenger planes into firebombs four years ago today? And anything more obscene than those of their ilk who danced in the streets in celebration of 3,000 deaths and many times that number of shattered family members?
Is not September 11th THE most appropriate day of any year to declare: we must learn the lessons of history? That we can never turn a blind eye to the mass murder of innocents? That to do so will merely encourage others to do the same?
On this September 11th, Tony Blair’s advisors did just the opposite.
They sought to bury history.
And for what?

It was the Muslims' own Grand Mufti Husseini, who spent World War II in Berlin, who was the driving force behind the Holocaust. He was the one who insisted that the Germans should not allow Jews to emigrate, but keep them and kill them.
The Mufti did such a good job one would think that Muslims would want to CELEBRATE the Holocaust, not deny it or ignore it.

It's Britain choise whether to be cleaned and cleared or cleansed and cloned. Politisizing the Holocaust is the clear way for Anti Semite ethnical cleansing policy of the beholder.

Sadly cowardice becomes an epidemic when ever muslims start to wallow in their perceived victimhood. Muslims in general have a problem their society is going now where, they don´t want to reform. Or maybe they do but their urge to blame US and Israel for all their ills is much greater than any urge for reform. To quote Naipual interlectually
they (the muslims) are a tyranny. This can be seen clearly in the London bombing, the
animal perpertrators were not oppressed people. Time to limit Muslim immigration to
Europe and elsewhere, otherwise this will blow in our faces, and liberals who see no
problem with muslim immigration will have no answers and will be sh*ting themselve under the table.
