- I found the piece on Brundibar to be very interesting. This directly relates to a current unit of study I am doing with my 8th grade students. They are examining the connections between what happened during the Holocaust and what is currently going on in Darfur. They are very interested in getting involved to help people remember the Holocaust while at the same time raising awareness to genocide in Darfur. They are investigating doing a fundraiser and I feel a performance of this musical would be fitting. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the musical please let me know. Many thanks for an inspiring story.

- Dubya was delighted to hear about this musical, and has demanded the cast to play in the White House. He does, however, want the theme to be 'Burkas in Baghdad'...

- Who cares if a country doesn%u2019t recognize Israel%u2019s right to exist? For years America did not recognize Peoples Republic of China%u2019s right to exist either!

I agree with you - BUT fact is Israel doesn't want their recognition - they have Uncle Sam.
And since they don't want to give back the land they've stolen from the Palestinians, and America is willing to send their boys to fight for them, what the hell - we'll just keep all of Palestine! - Reply to this comment
- Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Mugabe, (just to name a few)
have all banned their subjects from owning weapons - rendering their victims defenseless before butchering millions of them during the 20th century just because of their race, religion, or political affiliation.
Here is Adolf Hitler's racist gun control law from 1938 banning Jews from owning weapons:
"Jews are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.
Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.
Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions...will be punished with imprisonment and a fine.

Hitler made sure the Jews were defenseless before he butchered millions of them!
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to
possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry
arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing."

- There is starting to be a backlash against Israel and other Middle Eastern countries among the American Public for meddling in the politics of our nation and fighting their proxy wars. It seems that from time to time the media runs these types of articles in order to ensure America does not forget how badly the Jewish People had it in Europe and how America should continue to give special treatment to Israel because of past wrongs. Israeli lobbying groups are selling access to American elected as you can see in their lobbying group advertisement below.

Blind support of Israel is hurting American interest abroad. For years no one would say anything against promoting the Israeli agenda for fear of being labeled an anti-Semitist but now America is learning it is also acceptable to disagree with Israeli promoters like these AIPAC members who would gladly sell thousands of American soldier%u2019s lives to promote Israeli interest! America did not perpetrate the wrongs of Europe against its people over 70 years ago and are not responsible for correcting them now! The longer we interject American military and money in the Middle East the longer the problems will exists.

As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.

Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.

- Will any of the United States Media do an honest and open documentary on how the Palestine Land was taken over by the Zionist Terrorists and how the Palestine People have been treated since then?

Right on - that would be NEWS. I'd bet the AIPAC phones would be ringing Cheney^s office within seconds.
If the American people knew what really was happening everyday in the Occupied Territories to the Palestinian people, there would be an uproar! - Reply to this comment
- the difference between hitler's holocaust and the modern day abortion holocaust is the size of the people.

- Why pick a time coinciding with the oscar awards?
- Reply to this comment
Why was this program shown during Oscar Awards program when a minimal viewing audience was available? You have reshown some other past programs, how about this one?- Reply to this comment
- Unfortunately CBS showed this program at a time when the available audience was enthralled by the Oscar Awards. From the comments I just read, this program should be shown again and perhaps a lot more people will feel unconcomfortable about what happened to so many people, regardless of race and religion in the name of "reinheit".

- Once again the neo-nazis and white supremacists flood the boards with their hate speech and denial of mass genocide.

It is always convenient to use the "antisemitic," the "neo-nazi" and the "white supremacist" label to attack anyone who would dare to question the unjust policies of Israel.
What Israel is doing in Palestine is an outrage to civilized society and nothing, not even the holocaust, justifies it.
For a people who has suffered so much and yes, I have never denied the holocaust, I would expect more compassion and understanding of human suffering.
Go ahead, use that same old tired line again, if you're against the policies of Isreal, you're a neo-nazi. If you're against the injustice done against the Plaestinians, you're a white supremacist. - Reply to this comment
- What do these Jews think of the Zionist Terrorists violations of International Law, United Nations Resolutions, and the inhuman treatment of the Palestine People?
Do they approve of the United States supporting these Terrorists and members of the US Government calling them their friend Israel?
Do they support the NON-Investigation of the alleged massacres committed by the Zionist Terrorists? Do they know how many people are buried in the Zionist Enemies Cemeteries?
Have they had an open, free, uninhibited visit with the Palestine people to see how they are being treated? How the Palestine homes and livelihoods are bulldozed and replaced with Zionist Terrorists illegal homes?
Will any of the United States Media do an honest and open documentary on how the Palestine Land was taken over by the Zionist Terrorists and how the Palestine People have been treated since then?

- Strangest thing happened while I was watching the Oscars...weird, frankly. Seems I am Jewish, on my Dad's side, but have not really inquired about that for various reasons.
This is not comfortable to post, but once you find yourself on a roll, there may be a reason.
Something compelled me to ring my Dad. I told him I was watching the Oscars, but also that I was curious about my Jewish heritage.
My Dad replied he was watching 60 Minutes. No mention of the story. Then he said he had to go. We don't have the best of relationships, and initially I was sad -- one more time he disconnects. I thought.
Then I changed the channel. To 60 Minutes. Holy ***. Here are kids acting in a play that will never be on the Oscar Channel.
I watched and saw things that helped me understand some things a bit more.
I Googled the show because I did not get to see the entire episode.
Here I find anger and sorry to say this, but stupidity.
The Stupid Stupid Stupid thing I see is that people are still allowing old hurts to make things worse. Peeling scabs makes scars. And here I'm going to say please do not hate me or think anything about me good or bad, you don't know me.
Why not give a different perspective a chance? Why not take a step back and take a breath before a knee-jerk reaction. What could it harm? - Reply to this comment

- In your 60 Minute story about the Jews-- Did you know that Hitler killed more non-combatant Christians than Jews? If you don't, I understand. This fact was never publicized. Probably never will be. It is news that does not fit.

- Once again the neo-nazis and white supremacists flood the boards with their hate speech and denial of mass genocide. It gets old. If for no other reason than to get rid of the trash that haunts this place with their hate and violent speech, CBS would do well to get rid of these boards and make you all go back under that slimy rock you came out from under.

- have you considered that Jews are determined never to let themselves fall into the hands of anyone, ever again?

I supposed this justifies stealing land from others, and creating a Palestinian ghetto in their own land.
The law of karma is cause and effect. Things happen for a reason. Where there's an effect, there's a cause.
Blaming irrational europeans is just taking the easy way out. It is always easier to blame others. Why not look at what the Isrealis are doing right now and ask yourself if that's creating good karma? - Reply to this comment
