By Gilad Atzmon: In an interview with Hadashot news deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely emphasised that she cares for American Jews and sees them as her extended family. She also confirmed that American Jewish youngsters fight for Israel. “To all those Americans who are lone soldiers,” she said, “or those who have grandparents who fought in World War II, I salute you all.” Some Diaspora Jewish youngsters do join the IDF and participate in Israel’s criminal wars. However, the one thing Hotovely didn’t do is retract her accurate observation that American Jews don’t send their kids to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.* Despite the American Jewish Lobby pushing relentlessly for immoral interventionist conflicts (Iran, Syria, Libya, Iraq etc.), American Jewish youngsters are 7 times under represented in the USA military as shown in the table above.They may support wars, but they expect others to fight them.
But what about WWII, how many Jews gave their lives on Omaha Beach?
Wouldn’t you expect a large number of young Jewish Marines to jump into the freezing water of Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day) in support of the liberation of Europe so the can save their Jewish brothers in the old continent?
