COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
"On Holocaust
Memorial Day, saying 'never again' is not enough – we must be constantly
vigilant against the far right'
I just cannot agree with that.
What we must be on guard about is the old-fashioned values
like respect, tolerance, and decency.
We see such values violated time and time again in numerous
places in the world, and about many of them never a word is said.

Response to a comment
about the massive WWII losses of Russia:
Yes, although the ghastly number is put now at 27 million.
The invasion of Russia was the most terrible event in all of
human history, almost dwarfing anything else.
Stalingrad was the greatest battle. Kursk was the greatest
tank battle. The Siege of Leningrad saw tens of thousands of bodies stacked
like frozen logs.
But what do we see today in our press and from our
politicians?
Hate Russia. Russia is evil. Russia is dangerous. Send
troops and tanks to the border of Russia.
