Never Again Means Never Again

The following were my comments as given on the Middle East Radio Forum today.

" This last week we again honored those that were murdered in the Holocaust and we paid tribute to those that fought in the forest and the ghettos of Europe.

IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi addressed the March of the Living at Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and I would like to quote some of his speech.

"Sixty three years after the atrocity the Star of David is no longer a mark of disgrace, but a symbol and sign of the resurrection of the Jewish people, As commander of the IDF the fighting force of the mighty Jewish State I stand here with pride and honor and pledge: Never Again!

Never again shall we stand helpless, crying for the mercy of others, never again shall we bed to be defended,"

I ask are we sure, that never again, is really never again?

When rockets fall on Israel and we do nothing to stop them.

Are we sure that never again, is never again, when the Knesset rushes to retreat from Judea and Samaria.

Which would leave Israel on what the great Labor politician Abba Ebban called the Auschwitz Line.

But can Am Israel stop this mad rush to suicide?

Are we the same caliber of people as Mordechai Anielewicz the commander of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was, will we be able to echo his bravery as seen in his last letter dated May 8th, 1943.

" It is impossible to put into words what we have been through. One thing is clear, what happened exceeded our boldest dreams. The Germans ran twice from the Ghetto."

The key to Israel's survival today comes not from our political leaders, for they are sadly lacking.

Today if the minority stand as bravely as the minority that stood and fought in the Warsaw Ghetto and take just one action we can stop the march to the Auschwitz line of 1967.

From today if you want a strong Israel for the future, refuse to send your children to the IDF, until the "peace" madness has ended. For it is our sons that make up the majority of the soldiers in the fighting units of the IDF, not the sons of the left.

This action alone will save Israel from it's leaders and then we can truly say.

Never Again.
