Respond to of 217821 "Being a product of the East and having gone through all the problems and having historical connections." Yes it is true, and I would not deny it, but no one can judge better than someone that felt the wrath of Russian interpretation of Communism I am certain that you never where afraid that your parents will be arrested because they wanted to immigrate to another country. "Thus you cannot do a cold analysis of the situation." I would totally disagree on thatWhat I am saying is that the whole country of Israel is prey of its population past. This is also true, the very sad part, as I see it, is the fact that there is excessive exploitation of the Holocaust by people that have nothing to do with the Holocaust to achieve their own political goal or for self-enrichment on the expense of those that really suffered the horrors and their second generation like me that still are strongly affected, which cheapens the tragedy and unspeakable horrors people where faced to out of insane hatred and the holiness of those that perished. In this regard I want to mention my mother who was deported to forced labor camp, as was my father and most of our family, including to Auschwitz, by Romanian Iron Guard under German Nazis tutelage. My mother teachings where tolerance, the German language and German culture from the get-go, therefore my mother tongue is German. What my mother teachings was not to paint a whole nation just because there was a minority of mad deranged men and women who hated insanely Jews as same can be said about many groups that emerged in many nations in Eastern Europe. Therefor my parents send me to German school and we spoke home German and Romanian. I learned that in every nation the majority of people are good hard working peace loving people kind to their neighbors, as long as they are not oppressed or brainwashed by power-hungry criminals or deranged people in "sheep skins" propagating the indoctrination of some kind of ideology if religious or new social order with fake promises of enrichment and good life just to empower themselves.
