My dear Mr.Harlow,
It seems that I've left you dismayed with my letter,wasn't it? Well, if the truth hurts,so be it. Why? It's very simple,my kind friend...HISTORY IS ONE. It can't be altered to please A or B. It already happened and recorded accordingly in mainstream's history books.Christians DID MURDER MILLIONS OF JEWS.Period. I won't apologize for being a victim.I guess that doing so,in order to please you,Sir, won't be of any help to prevent further hatred,vilification,provocation,cemetery's desecrations, Synagogues's torchings,bombings - au contraire.
I do live in a Roman Catholic country,and I do get along with Christian folks around in here quite well. I certainly do not hate them. I respect the Christian faith, but unfortunately I feel that the word RECIPROCITY isn't very well understood by you,Sir,nor by a large part of the honorable Christian flock, here and everywhere.
That lack of reciprocity from the Christians was very well proven in 1946,when Holocaust survivors returning to their villages in Poland were BUTCHERED by a ROMAN CATHOLIC POLISH MOB. A genuine POGROM barely a year after the HOLOCAUST.
British ANGLICANS did hang Jewish fighters in Israel, were capable of RETURNING HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS BACK TO GERMANY...TORTURED Jew prisoners savagely in their own future country.
Why,my dear Sir,the famous,worldwide renowned Royal Air Force and her other-side-of the-pond's counterpart,the USAAF DID NOT BOMB AUSCHWITZ? Their Lancasters,B-17's and B-24's were already bombing targets within FIVE MILES from it!
What explanation we,Jewish People,have got? NONE WHATSOEVER.
Today, Israel needs POLITICAL support, but this doesn't mean that we've got to BOW our heads to idols,nor to give up our ancient religion. Respect is in order, not the vile desire of seeing the Jewish People CONVERTED.
Have an outstanding day, Sir.
