The answer I got was: The Jews are yours." -- Former Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini in his post-World War II memoirs. "The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan... He was one of Eichmann's best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures." Adolf Eichmann`s deputy Dieter Wisliceny in his Nuremberg Trials testimony Yeah.

This I will tell you because you haven't a clue, its Malta! I left there as a very young child and I barely remember going to school never mind what they tought. I know you like to dominate conversations with your views, look at this thread its basically you and me other than 2 posts. Its quite obvious nobody cares discussing on this issue. It has gone nowhere and we are still on your own side of the fence. You still haven't convinced me on my initial thoughts.
Originally Posted By jonvn "however as you are determined to stick by your conclusions" My conclusions, as you call them are simply the facts of the matter. "I too am just as determined that Israel is not the only victim in this present day conflict. " This is not a present day conflict. It has been going on for 60 years, and was created by people aligned with Nazis who wanted to see the Jews killed. "This you are just making an assumption that I was tought anti-semitism" You learned it somewhere. "I know you like to dominate conversations with your views" And now we start making the personal comments. I suppose that works better than addressing any of the points I made. "You still haven't convinced me on my initial thoughts." Nothing will. I doubt you even read anything I put on here. You don't even bother to refute it. Which is just as well, as you can't.
