"What has happend to the European Union?"
Asks UN Watch's Anne Bayefsky at the preparatory conference for the Durban II in Geneva.
I'm no lawyer nor a Phd in History, but I find Ms Bayefsky's question rather silly and ignorant. I wouldn't expect anything else from the European Union or nations, or most countries in the world.
I don't think more than one, at most, country objected when the Nazis began their anti-Jewish discrimination laws.
- And did any country actually object when Jews were rounded up and then slaughtered?
- And as the Nazis conquered other European countries, did those countries object to the slaughter of their own Jewish citizens?
- Why should Ms. Bayefsky expect the European nations to suddenly see Jews as deserving civil rights or equal rights?
They should be reminded that their long and consistent history of anti-Semitism is something that takes away their right to criticize any other country, especially Israel.
Don't forget that during the Holocaust, the United States kept to strict immigration quotas and turned refugees back to Germany. In addition, Great Britain refused them entrance to the HolyLand. And after the Holocaust how were the survivors treated? Great Britain wouldn't even permit them to enter the HolyLand. Entry visas were strictly limited.
As King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes, which we read during the recent Succot Holiday,
"Nothing's new!"
