LEARNING FROM THE NAZIS?
The following lines appeared last Friday, January 25,
2002, in Haaretz, in an article by the respected military
correspondent Amir Oren:
“In order to prepare properly for the next
campaign, one of the Israeli officers in the
(occupied) territories said not long ago, it’s
justified and in fact essential to learn from every
possible source. If the mission will be to seize a
densely populated refugee camp, or take over
the casbah in Nablus, and if the commander’s
obligation is to try to execute the mission
without casualties on either side, then we must
first analyze and internalize the lessons of
earlier battles – even, however shocking it may
sound, even how the German army fought in the
Warsaw ghetto.”
If this officer believes that the casbah of Nablus
resembles the Warsaw ghetto, who, in his mind,
resemble the officers of the Israeli army?
