Readers of my last two posts will understand that I am quite unimpressed with Europe and what it has supposedly accomplished. You see my perspective, as the child of a European survivor of the Holocaust, is a little different than those who are impressed with European "culture" whether it is the art and literature, the cuisine, the architecture, or the pseudo-sophistication.
None of that means shit to me anymore. A civilization that produced Auschwitz should be shunned for a thousand years.
Here is today's quote:
As Norman Podhoretz wrote in the June, 2007 issue of Commentary:
“Much of the world has greeted Ahmadinejad’s promise to wipe Israel off the map with something close to insouciance. In fact,
it could almost be said of the Europeans that they have been more upset by Ahmadinejad’s denial that a Holocaust took place 60
years ago than by his determination to set off one of his own as soon as he acquires the means to do so. In a number of
European countries, Holocaust denial is a crime, and the European Union only recently endorsed that position. Yet for all their
retrospective remorse over the wholesale slaughter of Jews back then, the Europeans seem no readier to lift a finger to prevent
a second Holocaust than they were the first time around.”
