Olmert Puts His Foot in His Mouth and Bites it
Tonight and tomorrow are Holocaust Memorial Day here in Israel. On this day (27th of Nissan on the Jewish calendar) each year, we remember the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis Yimach Shmam (may their name be blotted out). Tonight, at the opening ceremony at the Yad vaShem Holocaust Museum, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was one of the leading speakers. Let's pick up the story from YNet:And what is Olmert'sIn his speech, Olmert described the "innocent Jew," armed only with his heritage, angering the Nazis because of Jewish moral values.
"The lesson of World War II is that appeasement, concessions, and weakness are a recipe for a holocaust," he said. "As a Jew, I always carry in my heart the seal of pain over the Holocaust of my brothers and sisters, but I'm proud for being the archenemy of Nazi evil."
