Numarul de 6 milioane a fost cel al evreilor ucisi de germania hitlerista.Celelalte 11 milioane au fost oameni de alte nationalitati inclusiv Germani.DECI :6 +11=17 MILIOANE.

Cifrele astea sint suspecte, cu atat mai mult cu cat se vor impunse cu forta, bagand oameni in puscarie daca le contesta.
E interesant cum deodata conteaza cifrele. Si adevarul este ca intr-adevar conteaza. In politica!

Shahak's childhood was spent in Nazified Poland, the Warsaw Ghetto and Bergen - Belsen concentration camp; at the end of the war he was the only male left in his family.

He reached Palestine before statehood, in 1945.

By the end of his life, he had produced a scholarly body of work that showed the indissoluble connection between messianic delusions and racial and political ones.

He had also, during his chairmanship of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, set a personal example that would be very difficult to emulate.

He had no heroes and no dogmas and no party allegiances. If he admitted to any intellectual model, it would have been SPINOZA.

For Shahak, the liberation of the Jewish people was an aspect of the Enlightenment, and involved their own self-emancipation from ghetto life and from clerical control, no less than from ancient "Gentile" prejudice.

It therefore naturally ensued that Jews should never traffic in superstitions or racial myths; they stood to lose the most from the toleration of such rubbish. And it went almost without saying that there could be no defensible Jewish excuse for denying the human rights of others.

He was a brilliant and devoted student of the archeology of Jerusalem and Palestine: I would give anything for a videotape of the conducted tours of the city that he gave me, and of the confrontation in which he vanquished one of the propagandist guides on the heights of Masada.
For him, the built and the written record made it plain that Palestine had never been the exclusive possession of any one people, let alone any one “faith”.

Only the other day, I read some sanguinary proclamation from the rabbinical commander of the Shas party, Ovadia Yosef, himself much sought after by both Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon.

It was a vulgar demand for the holy extermination of non-Jews; the vilest effusions of Hamas and Islamic Jihad would have been hard-pressed to match it.

The man wants a dictatorial theocracy for Jews and helotry or expulsion for the Palestinians, and he sees (as Shahak did in reverse) the connection.

This is not a detail; Yosef's government receives an enormous US subsidy, and his intended victims live (and die, every day) under a Pax Americana.

Men like Shahak, who force us to face these reponsibilities, are naturally rare.
He was never interviewed by the New York Times, and its obituary pages have let pass the death of a great and serious man.
