Remember the Lesson of Yad Vashem

The lesson: In a world that recycles antisemitism endlessly, the safe haven established in 1948 must survive. While the Jewish State’s critics have “painted a picture of a country bent on annihilation” in Gaza (to quote Britain’s Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis), the truth is it is a safe haven trying to protect itself. Its enemies protect themselves by wrapping themselves with civilians. The Israeli Defense Forces have inadvertently killed thousands of innocent Gazans; and more casualties will come, until, says Israel, Hamas is vanquished.
