Letter to Angela Merkel re Durban III

To Chancellor Angela Merkel from Tabitha Korol re "Germany pulls out of Durban III anti-racism conference"

ilo@ilo.org

Dear Chancellor Merkel:

Almost from the first moment you took office and started to voice your opinions to the world, I admired you for your position against Nazism and anti-Semitism.  Again today, I was please to read the following statement:   Germany “cannot rule out that the Durban commemoration event in New York will be misused for anti-Semitic statements, as was the case in previous conferences.” The spokesman continued that “therefore Germany will not participate. This is an expression of our special responsibility toward Israel." (image via Reuters)

Yet, something else happened this week that is particularly troublesome, perhaps even a form of betrayal of that special responsibility.  Germany is donating $2.8 million to UNRWA’s “school feeding program” for Palestinian children, the same children who are taught to vehemently hate Jews, the same children who will march, wearing belts of explosives, and the same children who will one day volunteer to commit suicide among a crowd of Jewish children.  Since the Palestinians earned the designation of 8th most overweight people on earth, it is highly likely that the surplus money won't be used for food, but for Hamas and additional weapons for killing Israelis. 

Has Germany truly investigated the appeal for $36 million and the alleged shortfall claims?  Isn't it likely that if the money for terrorists and weapons were redirected to the children's fund, there would be no humanitarian need?  And, if Germany truly has acknowledged the special responsibility toward Israel, are there funds being directed to also care for Israel's bomb victims, the reconstruction of damaged buildings and infrastructure, and Israel’s medical care given not only to Israelis, but to people within the Middle East and Africa who also benefit from her generosity and compassion, such as the Save A Child’s Heart for all children?

Do Germany and those at UNRWA who provide psycho-social support to 25,000 children in Gaza also concern themselves with the same psycho-social care for the children and citizens of Sderot, who have been victims of an ongoing target of Qassam rocket attacks from Gaza?  According to MSNBC, nearly everyone has been traumatized by the frequent air-raid sirens (that give 15 seconds’ warning to reach shelter) and explosions of the incoming projectiles; playgrounds must have shelters and schools have had to be fortified.  From mid-June, 2007 to mid-February, 2008, 661 rockets and 857 mortar bombs hit Sderot, an average of three to four each day.  Since the Palestinian Second Intifada of October, 2000, the city has been under constant rocket fire from Qassams launched by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, causing deaths, injuries, significant damage to homes and property, psychological distress and emigration from the city. Thousands of Qassams were launched since Israel's disengagement from Gaza in 2005.  From May to November, 2007, 6,311 rockets fell on Sderot, with more than 20 landing in a single day. 

Chancellor Merckel, the financial aid sent to Palestinian children will free up money for even more rockets fired on Israeli children.  Please reconsider your philanthropy.  Is this the expression of compassion and special responsibility that Germany intended?

Is Chancellor Merckel totally unaware of all the Islamist videos showing the training of children to hate Jews and promote their murders? This is not acceptable. But will any official in this country address this. Not likely.

Germany is donating $2.8 million to UNRWA’s “school feeding program” for "Palestinian children, the same children who are taught to vehemently hate Jews, the same children who will march, wearing belts of explosives, and the same children who will one day volunteer to commit suicide among a crowd of Jewish children."

First of all there is no such thing as Palestinians. The Romans were the first to coin this term and it was used to slight,humiliate, and degrigate the Jews during the Roman Rule in Israel. It was Yasser Arafat, and the Arab League of Nations in the early 1960's backed by Iraq that decided since they did not want to help and support Arabs living in Israel they would tell these Arabs (most whom are Jordanian) that they are Palestinians. There is no history of such a people, no currency, no distinct language, just the lie that an Arab of Egyptian/Jordanian decent along with his cohorts conceived and the duped the world into believing the lie. It is stated if one tells a lie enough they no longer can tell the truth from a lie. Our world is a sick place. It is not only the German's supporting these schools now it is also the United States thanks to our Obama Nation.

I would like to say do not let the children suffer, but sadly those schools do teach hate of infidels, and not just Jews, but Christians and any other religion that is not Islamic. I am sorry those children will suffer an awful fate. I am sorry because they did not ask for that, it was dumped on them. But we cannot give money to schools that teach such vile and turn the innocence of children into a generation of Nazi/Islamofacist haters that would kill even their own mother in the name of their sick Jihad.

Chancellor Merckel knows what she said, and she knows what she is doing. It is calculated. Say what the world wants you to hear, but do what you want and hope no one will pay attention. Well, we are paying attention and right now she and her ilk sicken me.
