Another
International Holocaust Remembrance Day has past, the garden variety
neo-Nazis and skinheads still exist, BDS still exists, Hamas still
exists, the mullahs are still in charge of Iran, and there are those
still trying to kick Jews out of parts of their homeland. It seems
the world hasn't learned anything.
The
only true memorial to Auschwitz is unflagging support for the Jewish
people's right to live in all parts of their ancient homeland,
including Judea and Samaria.
The
only true memorial to Auschwitz is unequivocal support for the Jewish
people's right to live in peace and security in that homeland,
without rocket attacks, bombings, shooting attacks, knifings and rock
throwing, vehicular or any other terror tactics.
And,
the only true memorial to Auschwitz - the culmination of a over a
thousand years of anti-Semitism in Europe - is absolute support for
the Jewish people's national political creation, the State of Israel.
Let's
not forget it was Europeans, the Roman Empire, that massacred,
enslaved, and expelled, the Jews from their homeland, Judea, to begin
with.
Anti-Zionism
has become the new acceptable form of anti-Semitism in the 21st
century. Nothing is really new there, that's what the Romans did to
Jews and their political state.
Speeches
and tears by world leaders, memorial plaques or sculptures, devoid of
meaningful CORRECTIVE BEHAVIOR on the world's political stage is
trivial, if not downright hypocritical.
Countries
and their leaders, need to forcefully address the lies and propaganda
of the ''Palestinians'' and the greater Muslim world. They need to
side with the Jewish people and the State of Israel - as the Jew's
national political vehicle - against trying to divide Jerusalem and
the Land of Israel.
And
while we're talking about the Muslim world, let's not for get the
almost 1,300 years of Dhimmitude - the persecution, terror and second
class sufferings of the Jews in Muslim societies. The Muslim world
has no reason to forget Auschwitz, if the Europeans hadn't done it
first, the Muslims might have.
And,
some in the Muslim world today - Iran, Hamas, ISIS, etc. - boast of
their plans to carry out another Holocaust.
The
Big Lie of the recent vote in UNESCO, disconnecting Jewish history
from Jerusalem and the Temple Mount; and the recent UNSC Resolution
2334, disconnecting Jewish history from Judea and Samaria, is a
continuation of this pro-Auschwitz mentality.
America's
new president, has promised to move the American Embassy to
Jerusalem, to support Israel in other ways, to combat Islamic terror,
and confront the Iranian nuclear danger. This is a good beginning if
carried out. Other world leader's need to follow his example.
The
only true memorial to Auschwitz, the only true answer to the
Holocaust, the only true repentance on the part of the world
community...is unrelenting support for a strong, secure, and thriving
Israel, the Jewish State.
Jews
and Israel, living in security and peace with the rest of the world,
being the ''Light unto the nations'' as prophecied by Isaiah - as
Jews have been throughout history, in their positive contributions to
world civilization - and will continue to be in the future, is the
only true memorial to Auschwitz.Ariel Natan Pasko, an independent analyst and consultant, has a Master's Degree specializing in International Relations, Political Economy & Policy Analysis.
