WWII's Warsaw Ghetto Uprising - lessons on 80th-year commemoration

80-years ago this month, young Jewish slave-labor inmates of the Nazi-imposed ghetto in Warsaw, aware of their limited survival chances (and despite their limited access to weapons) rebelled for 29 days (beginning April 19-May 16, 1943) against the Nazi army deporting residents to the Treblinka death camp.

Though ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the Germans from entering the ghetto, the Jewish people's strategic and brave fighting showed that even amidst oppression, they could unite and fight back. The Uprising left a lasting legacy. It was the largest Jewish uprising in the Second World War and it inspired Jewish youth – in ghettos from Lvov to Będzin to Białystok, and in camps including Treblinka and Sobibor – to resist. It was an act of utmost courage – not least because the men and women fighting knew from the beginning that they had no hope of victory. They had been forced by the sheer inhumanity of the situation created by the occupying Germans to choose death in combat rather than in the camps.

Jews staved-off Nazis during Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

In this video interview at the Holocaust Musuem L.A., Rabbi Moshe Cohn, who heads Yad Vashem's International School for Holocaust Studies discusses the significance of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

 
 

Polish-born Jewish man, Ben Lesser, age 94, explains how in 1940, Polish Christians, (empowered by Germany's National Socialist Army) confiscated ordinary Jewish citizens' businesses, dispossessed them from their homes, stole their homes, and concentrated them in racial ghettos. Mr. Lesser explains how the Jewish ghettos (an overcrowded apartment district where lucky folks worked as slaves inside or outside the walls to avoid deportation to concentration and death camps) differed from today's socio-economic ghetto neighborhoods. Most Jewish people were deported as slaves to concentration camps - where they were labored (ususally to death), if they survived (unlike many women and children) being gassed to death upon arrival or shot and incinerated.

The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the very first civilian uprising in occupied Europe, and the largest act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. There were attempts at armed resistance in at least 100 other ghettos, and among Jewish partisans, who engaged in sabotage and guerilla warfare.

Biden administration attempts coup against Israel's new government for restoring true democracy

by Guy Milliere (in auto-translated from the original French in LeDreuz)

Since the Israeli right won the parliamentary elections on November 1st, and Binyamin Netanyahu - after having been defamed, destabilized, incriminated in court for essentially non-existent reasons, removed from power, replaced for a year by an opportunist, Naftali Bennett (a right-winger wearing a reversible vest, ready to form a government that looks like a piece of junk dominated by the Left, and powerless - both in the face of a Biden administration hostile to Israel, and in the face of the rise of murderous anti-Jewish terrorism), Binyamin Netanyahu was able to form a coherent government. Yet, the Israeli Left shows that it is ready to imitate the American Left in matters of ignominy and irresponsibility.

 

Interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid said as soon as the election result was known - that the government Binyamin Netanyahu could form would be legal, but "not legitimate" and would pose a "danger to democracy." Since then, he has made equally vile and inflammatory remarks. Several former IDF chiefs of staff have called for civil disobedience and urged the army to disobey government orders. Demonstrations have been held every Saturday night in Tel Aviv to denounce the government in very vehement terms, and "Palestinian" flags are unfurled alongside Israeli flags. Calls for insurrection have been made several times.

French law-professor, Guy Milliere, wrote
"Twilight over Europe"about Islamo-Marxism
encroaching throughout western societies 

The main reason given is the reform of the Israeli Supreme Court that the new Israeli government wants to carry out, and disinformation on the subject in the European press and in the American left-wing press is rife. One could imagine, reading what is written, that the new Netanyahu government wants to abolish the rule of law in Israel and install an authoritarian regime, and the incessant use of the expression "far right" to describe this government is supposed to install in people's minds the idea that Binyamin Netanyahu is a fascist. The truth is, of course, very different, and the European press and the American left-wing press cannot be counted on to say it. 

Prof. Guy Milliere, in this November '20 video interview, discusses Western politicians' peculiar support for CCP-backed, apocalyptic Iranian Mullahs and their jihadist terror armies pursuing conquest of Israel, Egypt, and the Gulf oil states.

The Israeli Supreme Court was created as soon as Israel's independence was proclaimed. The Left was then in the majority in Israel and the justices of the Supreme Court were left-wing, but at the time, the Israeli Left was a lucid Left about the dangers weighing on the country, and responsible: the threat from the Arab world was blatant and potentially deadly for the newly born State of Israel, the "Palestinian people" had not yet been invented. It was obvious that Israel had to fight to survive.

There came a time when the Israeli Left began to see its power erode.

The Israeli right won elections for the first time, in 1977, and Menachem Begin became prime minister. He remained so for six years. Yitzhak Shamir succeeded him and was in power until 1992 (the Left, led by Shimon Peres, was in power for only two years between 1984 and 1986, and Shamir was in power from 1983 to 1984, and again from 1986 to 1992). The year 1992 saw the return to power of the Left, and Yitzhak Rabin became prime minister and signed the disastrous Oslo Accords, which led to the return to the Middle East of terrorist gang leader Yasser Arafat, the creation of the Palestinian Authority, and an atrocious wave of murderous attacks in Israel. 

Is the Democrat Party Administration's devolving America accidental or intentional? Stephen Coughlin, political-scientist

Stephen Coughlin, Esq., political scientist at Unconstrained Analytics.com addressed the "Global Puppeteers" Conference organized by the American Freedom Alliance in Southern California prior to the November 22 election. In a conversation which followed his talk, Mr. Coughlin expressed concern that the elites who imposed lockdowns and pandemic restrictions are losing their grip on power. 

Coughlin suggested that there may be a larger agenda at play, citing figures like George Soros who have spoken about a "Global Reset." While COVID-19 has impacted the world, Coughlin questioned whether it was truly a global phenomenon. 

He also expressed concern that there may be an agenda to bankrupt America and install socialism or communism, suggesting that the left already controls all lines of operation. 

Coughlin expressed skepticism that the Kamala Harris generation could "close the deal" and consolidate power. 

He also suggested that America is already a surveillance state and that the elites are attempting to lock in their control. Overall, Coughlin's comments suggest that there may be larger forces at play behind the pandemic and the political response to it.

Israeli I.D.F. disaster-relief specialists in quake-hit, south Turkey, rescue 10 civilians; Set up early field hospital

Overnight, Home Front Command search and rescue experts pull 26-year-old woman, 65-year-old man out of collapsed buildings in Kahramanmaraş

I.D.F. Search and Rescue teams work to find survivors of Turkish earthquake on Tues 8 February 

Israeli military search and rescue teams working since a devastating earthquake struck southeastern Turkey earlier this week have so far pulled out ten Turkish civilians from the rubble, the Israel Defense Forces said Thursday morning.

The IDF Home Front Command delegation began work on Tuesday, a day after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the region and killed thousands of people.

Meanwhile, a second IDF delegation that landed in the country on Wednesday began establishing a field hospital on the outskirts of the city of Kahramanmaraş overnight.

The IDF said 15 Air Force cargo planes ferried hundreds of tons of equipment and some 230 participants — including search and rescue experts, military medics and Health Ministry doctors, nurses and paramedics — to Turkey to set up the hospital.

The first IDF delegation of 150 search and rescue experts continued to work to rescue civilians trapped under the rubble, saving a 26-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man in the predawn hours of Thursday in the quake-stricken city, also known as Marash.

The military published footage of the rescues.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday afternoon, the head of the aid delegation, Col. (Res.) Golan Vach, said the Israeli teams had seen successes. Vach said such IDF aid delegations usually last between nine and 14 days, and in this case, were ready to stay that long.

Several delegations of Israeli medics from emergency organizations have also headed to Turkey to assist local authorities in treating victims of the earthquake.

The Foreign Ministry was weighing an additional flight to Turkey containing humanitarian items and medicine.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel also plans to send aid to Syria, including tents, medication, and blankets. But Syrian sources vigorously denied requesting aid from Israel, and IDF spokesman Ran Kochav told reporters that the military was not involved in potential aid to Syria.

Israel considers Syria a hostile state, and the two do not have diplomatic ties. However, during the neighboring country’s bloody civil war, the IDF carried out a massive humanitarian operation to aid Syrian civilians.

The earthquake death toll was at least 16,000 people in both Turkey and Syria as of Thursday morning.

Hundreds were still believed to be trapped under rubble, and the toll was expected to rise as rescue workers searched through mounds of wreckage in cities and towns across the area.

Who was really behind the Holocaust Remembrance Day Massacre of Jerusalem Jews last week?

From: "Who Was Really Behind the Jerusalem Terror Attack?" by Daniel Greenfield

Jewish victims of Muslim terrorist in Jerusalem

On Thursday, Jan 26, the Palestinian Authority announced that it was suspending “security coordination” after Israel broke up a Jenin terror cell that had been planning a major attack.

On Friday, Jan 27, an Islamic terrorist opened fire outside a Jerusalem synagogue killing 7 Israelis, including Asher Natan, a 14-year-old boy, Eli and Natali Mizrahi, a married couple who rushed out to help the victims, and Shaul Hai, a 68-year-old synagogue sexton.

The shooter,

US Secy of State Anthony Blinken welcomed by
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

Aqlam Khayri, a 21-year-old Muslim resident of Shuafat, despite being branded a “lone wolf” with no previous connection to terrorism, was described as having advanced shooting skills. And the death rate testifies to that. It seems highly likely that he was selected and secretly prepped to carry out this attack.

On Saturday, Jan 28, a second shooting in Jerusalem injured two other Israelis. Another armed terrorist was taken out by the town’s security team in Kedumim. That may not be the last of it.

There is nothing coincidental about the timing of this surge of violence: the deadliest in years.

CIA director Bill Burns arrived in Israel on Thursday. The same day the PLO announced the end of its security coordination. Secretary of State Blinken is expected to visit Israel this week. Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan came to Israel the week before. The PLO’s suspension of security coordination and the attacks that followed were put on for their benefit. 7 Israelis thus far were killed to help the Biden administration pressure Israel.

Had Israel not taken out the terror cell in Jenin, the numbers might be far higher.

The last time attacks on this scale took place was when 11 Israelis were killed in three attacks in late March 2022. Those attacks also came after the Palestinian Authority had suspended “security coordination” a month earlier and overlapped with the Negev Summit featuring Arab leaders and Secretary of State Blinken.

James Longman reports from Jerusalem for ABC-TV News :


What is happening is not random terror, it’s carefully calculated terror, executed, as usual, through plausibly deniable attackers who will be rewarded by the PLO’s pay-to-slay fund.

The Palestinian Authority made a show of suspending its mostly worthless “security coordination” before launching terror attacks to show that it can turn the violence on and off.

But not all of the pressure is coming from the outside.
