and here is how the immigrants have behaved according to Israel's past attorney general: As Michael Ben-Yair, Israel's attorney general between 1993 and 1996, wrote in Haaretz earlier this month: 'The intifada is the Palestinian people's war of national liberation. We enthusiastically chose to become a colonialist society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justification for all these activities... we established an apartheid regime.' observer.co.uk Will Arafat lead his people to freedom and become Palestinian's "Nelson Mandella"? Time will tell.

We visited the Holocaust Museum yesterday. One really does wonder why, when Hitler was publicly threatening to kill all the Jews in Europe unless the nations of the world allowed them to emigrate (this was 1939 - headline on a Los Angeles Times front page), nation after nation refused to open their doors, and Britain refused to allow emigration to Palestine. Under pressure the US eventually took 100,000 - this was after the Final Solution began (1942). I found it doubly ironic because antisemites were always accusing Roosevelt of either being a secret Jew ("he changed his name from Rosenfeld") or a Jew-lover, whatever that is. Second visit to the Holocaust Museum. Well worth the time. I enjoyed, most of all, the exhibits about the non-Jews who helped Jews escape and hide, and the exhibits about the Jews who resisted. One needs hope in perilous times.
