Trial By Fire: Holocaust History Project Won't Be Silenced

In the early hours of March 6, 2006, a fire broke out at a warehouse complex near San Antonio International Airport, causing extensive damage to the offices of The Holocaust History Project (THHP), an organization that has been, for the last ten years, in the forefront of confronting Holocaust denial online, in addition to providing educational materials to students throughout the world. Arson investigators now have confirmed that the fire was intentionally set and are continuing their investigation.

It was just the latest in a series of attacks with the apparent intent to silence THHP. For the past 18 months, the THHP website has been under an unprecedented Distributed Denial of Service attack. This cyber attack began on September 11, 2004, and is being carried out by a specially modified version of the MyDoom computer worm, programmed to target the THHP web server. See the THHP statement:http://www.holocaust-history.org/denial/denial-of-service.shtml

Harry Mazal, the Director of THHP said, "We have been able to defend our work against these cyber attackers. They tried, but couldn't shut us down. We have strong indications that this arson is the next step in a series of attacks against our educational and scholarly work. Although the fire caused significant damage to our offices, there is no way we will be silenced. Our web site has not been affected, and our work will continue."

While an arson attack such as this cannot be specifically anticipated, THHP has long ago taken steps to minimize the impact of any attacks, physical or virtual. Several mirror sites ensure that even as serious an attack as occurred Monday morning will be unsuccessful in forcing THHP to go offline.

Background:

THHP is one of the largest repositories of information relating to the Holocaust on the Web. For the last ten years, an international staff of volunteers has worked tirelessly to make information on the Holocaust, and on those who would deny it, easily accessible to students, scholars, and anyone who has an interest in the truth.

Among the material on the site are essays about various events and people, scientific and legal analyses, original Nazi documents, expert witness testimony, transcripts of many of the Nuremberg trials, and the complete texts of two seminal works, Jean-Claude Pressac's "Auschwitz" and Robert Jay Lifton's "The Nazi Doctors." In addition, THHP volunteers personally answer emails from thousands of students each year who are looking for information to further their studies.

The site has registered more than 50 million hits in a year. "Traffic to our site increases every year," said Mr. Mazal, "we intend to keep adding new content to the site. Right now we are preparing the Belsen trial transcripts, and the transcript of Adolf Eichmann's trial in Israel."

Rotary Club Member? Hamas Wants to Kill You!

Superfrenchie's blog details how Rotary Club members are singled out in the Hamas charter for "special consideration." So, before you go singing at the old ladies' home or do yard clean-up for a handicapped neighbor or have another bake sale or promote local business in your neighborhood, know that those activities are so despised by Hamas that they consider you to be an enemy of all Moslems everywhere. You are to be exterminated.

Read the post at Superfrenchie's. Get educated. They're coming to get you.

Paul Wolfowitz Sells Out Israel, America, and the Jewish People to Terrorists

Paul Wolfowitz and his World Bank have agreed to give millions of dollars to the terrorist group Hamas to fund even more suicide bombings and other acts of terror against innocent civilians. There is nothing more corrupt than a terrorist. They are corrupt on every level and yet, Paul Wolfowitz would have the world believe he is against corruption. Hypocrite.

More of the Wolfowitz hypocrisy can be found at the NecessaryRoughness Blog where I discovered this Wolfowitz quote:
Paul Wolfowitz, while Deputy Secretary of Defense, said the following in 2002:
To those who champion the cause of an independent Palestine, we say this: Stopping terror is the most important thing you can do to serve the Palestinian cause. (Applause.) Those who blow themselves up to deliberately destroy innocent life are not suicide bombers — they are killers. (Applause. Cheers.) As President Bush has said, they are not martyrs — they are murderers. (Applause. Cheers.) Those who fill the minds of children with hate, who use the bodies of children as weapons, who exploit the deaths of the young to further their own power have as their goal the destruction of peace and freedom. (Source:
DOD)

The next time a mother in Israel weeps over a dead child killed by Hamas terrorists, know that Paul Wolfowitz and the World Bank had a hand in financing it.

Either Wolfowitz is for financing dangerous enemies of the United States and did that on his own or he is fronting for George Bush and the "Bush Doctrine" that he, Wolfowitz, helped to create. If Wolfowitz is acting on Bush's orders, then we have to consider that a true enemy of the United States is at the head of the United States government.

Something to think about.

Eitan Demands Investigation into Nazareth Incident's Spin

MK Michael Eitan (Likud) demands a government investigation: How did the human tragedy in Nazareth become a campaign of hatred and incitement against the Jewish People?

Eitan has asked Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to immediately appoint a committee, headed by a judge, to investigate the chain of events following the weekend firecracker incident in Nazareth.

"How did it happen," Eitan wants to know, "that a human tragedy [involving] a Jewish man and a Christian woman so easily became an incitement campaign against the Jewish People and the State of Israel?"

MK Eitan says that the police and the media had a major part in the above developments. "The police and press reported the incident as if it were a religious-based terrorist attack by Jews," Eitan said. "This message is that which gave the incident, in its first hours, a political and inter-religious character, and contributed to the fanning of the flames at the protest rally in Nazareth."

Hamas Website Teaches Their Kids to Kill

The hypocrites and liars, anti-semites all, who proclaim any sort of "moral equivalency" between the terrorists of Hamas and their acts of mass murder and terror against innocent civilians and the nation of Israel defending the lives of her citizens against those terrorist attacks need to have a look at the following and then find any evidence that the government of Israel runs websites and schools for little children that teach those young children murder is a good thing and the liars and hypocrites, anti-semites all, will then be able to provide irrefutable evidence that Israel straps her young people up with suicide bombing gear and sends her youth into Arab discos and Arab malls and Arab public transportation venues with orders to murder as many innocent people as possible. Oh, that's right. The liars and hypocrites, anti-semites all, won't be able to do that because there is absolutely no moral equivalency.

Hamas Launches Web Site Encouraging Kids to Become 'Martyrs'

The Palestinian Authority's ruling Hamas terror group has launched a web site for children, preaching the moral desirability of being a suicide terrorist through cartoons and children's stories.

The Hamas-run Al-Fateh.net glorifies shahada, martyrdom, and presents the deaths of terrorists attacking Israelis as a time of celebration, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch.

One of the stories on the site quotes a mother saying that when she heard her son had become a shahid, a martyr, she bought dates, candies and coffee to give out.

Hamas recently won the Palestinian Authority's parliamentary elections by a landslide and has since been subject to requests and demands that it at least verbally recognize Israel. One the web site, though, according to PMW, "Israel is repeatedly referred to as 'thief' and 'invader' and its defeat in battle is both desired and anticipated."

You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely "anti-Zionist." And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of G-d's green earth; when people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is G-d's own truth.

Saudi Arabia is NOT Our Ally

Exclusive: Saudi Arabia will host Israel boycott event

Despite a promise made to Washington last November to drop its economic boycott of Israel, Saudi Arabia plans to host a major international conference next week aimed at promoting a continued trade embargo on the Jewish state, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

The Post also found that the kingdom continues to prohibit entry to products made in Israel or to foreign-made goods containing Israeli components, in violation of pledges made by senior Saudi officials to the Bush administration last year.

The Saudi decision to host the parley appears to run counter to assurances that Riyadh gave the Bush administration when Saudi Arabia was seeking entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO).

On November 11, the WTO's ruling general council voted to grant Saudi Arabia entry into the prestigious group, which aims to promote international free trade, after it agreed to scrap restrictions on doing business with Israel.

In December, just weeks after being allowed into the WTO, Saudi officials were quoted in the Arab press as insisting that the boycott of Israel would continue.

Answering-Islam.Org

This is an informative website with some interesting articles. Worth a look. Here are just a few of those articles:

Is Islam Above Criticism?
Cartoons about Muhammad in a Danish newspaper have caused a world wide uproar from Muslims. Ambassadors are recalled, flags are burned, Danish products boycotted in Arabic countries, etc. The issue of respect for Muslim feelings versus freedom of expression is debated in both Muslim and Western newspapers, on TV, on the internet ... but there are some highly relevant aspects that seem to be missing from the discussion.

Are Pictures of Muhammad Really Forbidden In Islam?
While some Muslims were outraged by a magazine printing cartoon pictures of Muhammad, we have to step back and calmly ask, are pictures of Muhammad really forbidden in Islam? — The answer might surprise you.

Islam and Human Rights
What happens when Islam gets a foothold in a new region by preaching “peace and love,” but it does not confront the numerous violent verses and passages in the Quran and in the traditions about the prophet? Later on, will religious leaders inflict anti-human rights laws, like mutilation or crucifixion in Quran 5:33 or other tortures found in original Islam? Is an only peaceful representation of Islam full disclosure about this religion?

Auschwitz haunts photographer

Auschwitz haunts photographer
Prisoner's work at the Nazi death camp enabled him to survive, but he never took pictures again.
Ryan Lucas / Associated Press

ZYWIEC, Poland -- For years afterward, photographer Wilhelm Brasse saw them in his dreams -- emaciated Jewish girls, herded naked in front of his camera at Auschwitz.
Eventually, his dreams stopped. But he never took pictures again.

"I didn't return to my profession, because those Jewish kids, and the naked Jewish girls, constantly flashed before my eyes," he said. "Even more so because I knew that later, after taking their pictures, they would just go to the gas."

"I must have taken 40,000 to 50,000 of those identity pictures," he said. Sometimes the prisoners had been beaten too badly for him to get a clear photograph of their faces.

"The picture wasn't taken and the prisoner was sent away and called back later, but sometimes it happened that there wasn't anybody to call back because they'd been able to murder him in the meantime," he said.

Brasse still keeps a prewar Kodak Retina camera at home. It sits unused.
