WHO BEGAN THIS UTTERLY STUPID DISPUTE?
Never mind. It must Stop Now!
In
the worst event to occur in the 20th century, well noted for terrible
events, the Holocaust had its worst effects on the nation of Poland,
where 6 million Jews and 5 million others were murdered by the Nazi
regime. There followed many years of suffering under the Soviets.
Were
there Nazi and Soviet collaborators among both the Poles and the Jews?
Of course. Could more have been done, with a virtual guarantee of
death, by both Poles and Jews? Possibly. What would I have done? I
don't know.
What to do now? NEVER FORGET. And also never resurrect the all - too - human elements of that inhuman and purely evil process.
What
else to do? Here is an immediate project in which for Pope Francis and
the Catholic Church to intervene...whether privately or
publically...but effectively with both the nationalist leaders of
Poland and the Israelis. But it must Stop Now!
Catholics and Jews
are Brothers in Faith. Our relationship is not the existential threat
that we all face in the world today. Let us NEVER FORGET that too.
