Regarding the State of Israel and Holocaust Remembrance Day
The state of Israel created Yom HaShoa (Holocaust Remembrance Day).
But at time of writing this, I didn’t feel that the state of Israel had a right to. The state of israel had a lot of opportunities to help refugees and refused to do so, saying they needed to spend their monies rather on building. There is a fount of anti-Zionist websites to Google in order to find the specific information. You can also read a book entitled “Perfidy” by Ben Hecht.
Also, the state of israel has tried and will likely try again to swipe funds meant for Holocaust survivors - check the American Gathering website for more info on that
Hence, as far as I was concerned this past Holocaust Remembrance Day, for the state of Israel to establish any day commemorating the Holocaust seems to be an act of self-serving crocodile tears. Hence was my decision made to treat it as any other day.
Also, according to my thought mode at time of writing this, I didn’t need some stupid day to remember the Holocaust. All I have to do is think of what my grandmothers STILL go through because of this frikking thing. And I can read my Babi’s book, as well as watch the video my other grandmother made that only barely touched on the horrors she survived. As a child, my dad woke up every night to take care of her while she was screaming in her sleep.
And I can feel my own rage and desire for revenge cause it’s in my blood. Each step I take on this earth is remembrance especially in Israel and Jerusalem, where founders of said day are trying to split again… So Yom HaShoa can bite me.
It’s easy to make a toss-off day where everyone sits and boo hoo hoos, only to go back to the same life tomorrow anyway.
OK— granted, other people may only think of the Holocaust on that day, but it in no way applies to me.
But my grandmother, the one who wrote the book, informed me that she wants me to recognize the day, because the state of Israel is the only entity actually doing anything to recognize the Holocaust and that I should co-operate with them because of that miserable fact.
Though my father, who was born in a deportation camp in Germany, was of the opinion that my reasoning is absolutely correct, but if I do refuse to stand at the siren, I need to make sure people know why.
Nebach.
