Coverage of Pope Benedict XVI’s Visit to the Auschwitz Death Camp in Poland
Written by Marty Roberts on August 22, 2010 – 8:57 am -He visited as Pope, as a Catholic, and as a German…He had some interesting comments
So did the Polish people…Now they want to be thought of as victims of the Nazis, rather than collaborators with them…Marty is not so sure about that one…
Plus…The moving story of the Auschwitz Women’s Orchestra…It was memorialized in a book…soon it will be an opera…
And…The definitely NOT moving story of “Housewitz”…The disgusting tale of a Dutch video clip…Racism?…Anti-semitism?…Just insensitivity and ignorance?…You be the judge…
Also…A few words on the coming Jewish holiday of Shavuot…
All this and MORE…
Pope Benedict XVI Visits the Auschwitz Death Camp in Poland
His comments were quite interesting…
The Pope also visited Auschwitz as a German, not just as the head of the Catholic Church…
Auschwitz Women’s Orchestra
Gustav Mahler’s niece, Alma Rosé , who was forced to conduct the women’s orchestra in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The Book
The story of the Auschwitz Women’s orchestra was originally made famous in the book, “Playing for Time”, more than 27 years ago…
Fania Fenelon was the author…
Then, There’s “Housewitz”…
The Dutch video…
Does bad taste have no bounds?
At least the director was punished with 40 hours of labor…
Good thing he didn’t go after Muslim sensitivities, like Theo Van Gogh did, huh?

Why are there SO MANY people aged 100+ in Israel?…Something to do with the holiness of the Land?…
And…What blessing do you wish for a Jew that is already 119 years old?…We’ve got a couple of them, too!…
Plus…Other interesting population statistics for Israel, 58 years young…
And…The Israeli arabs celebrate their version of memorial day, AKA, the “Nakba”, or Great Disaster…What can they be thinking?…How ungrateful can a people be?…Why do we tolerate it?…The price of democracy, I guess…

Old People – Lots of Them in Israel
1,015 people in Israel are over the age of 100…
22 people are over the age of 110…

Why Don’t The Leaders of Israel Ever Seem to Learn From Their Mistakes?
Written by Marty Roberts on August 17, 2010 – 12:47 pm -“It’s Deja-vu All Over Again” with the recent arming of Abu Mazen’s private militia…
And the weapons were supplied by Egypt and Jordan, no less!…
Why didn’t they learn from the (myriad) mistakes of Oslo?…Why didn’t they learn from the mistakes of arming Force 17?…Why didn’t they learn from the mistakes of appointing wanted terrorists to be Palestinian Authority officials?…
This time, Israel’s most-wanted man #5, Mahmoud Dimra, AKA Abu Awad, will lead the private security force of Mahmoud Abbas, AKA Abu Mazen…(the “Abu” things are their cutesy terrorist “nicknames”)…
Plus…At long last, peace between Abu Mazen and Arafat widow, Suha Arafat…Maybe she will make a donation from her $1 billion-plus bank account to help avert a humanitarian crisis amongst her people in the palestinian authority…Yeah, right…She only gets $100,000 per month salary from the Palestinian Authority…(international donors to the PA please note!)…
All this and MORE…
