Bush: US should have bombed Auschwitz
By ARON HELLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
JERUSALEM -- President Bush had tears in his eyes during an hour-long tour of Israel's Holocaust memorial Friday and told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the U.S. should have bombed Auschwitz to halt the killing, the memorial's chairman said.
Bush emerged from a tour of the Yad Vashem memorial calling it a "sobering reminder" that evil must be resisted, and praising victims for not losing their faith.
Wearing a yarmulke, Bush placed a red-white-and-blue wreath on a stone slab that covers ashes of Holocaust victims taken from six extermination camps. He also lit a torch memorializing the victims.
Bush was visibly moved as he toured the site, said Yad Vashem's chairman, Avner Shalev.
"Twice, I saw tears well up in his eyes," Shalev said.
At one point, Bush viewed aerial photos of the Auschwitz camp taken during the war by U.S. forces and called Rice over to discuss why the American government had decided against bombing the site, Shalev said.
The Allies had detailed reports about Auschwitz during the war from Polish partisans and escaped prisoners. But they chose not to bomb the camp, the rail lines leading to it, or any of the other Nazi death camps, preferring instead to focus all resources on the broader military effort, a decision that became the subject of intense controversy years later.
Between 1.1 million and 1.5 million people were killed at the camp.
"We should have bombed it," Bush said, according to Shalev.
In the memorial's visitors' book, the president wrote simply, "G-d bless Israel, George Bush."
The memorial was closed to the public and under heavy guard Friday, with armed soldiers standing on top of some of the site's monuments and a police helicopter and surveillance blimp hovering in the air overhead.
"I was most impressed that people in the face of horror and evil would not forsake their G-d. In the face of unspeakable crimes against humanity, brave souls - young and old - stood strong for what they believe," Bush said.
"I wish as many people as possible would come to this place. It is a sobering reminder that evil exists, and a call that when evil exists we must resist it," he said.
It was Bush's second visit to the Holocaust memorial, a regular stop on the visits of foreign dignitaries. His first was in 1998, as governor of Texas. The last U.S. president to visit was Bill Clinton in 1994.
Bush, making the most extensive Mideast trip of his presidency, was accompanied on his tour by a small party that included Rice and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
At the compound, overlooking a forest on Jerusalem's outskirts, Bush visited a memorial to the 1.5 million Jewish children killed in the Holocaust, featuring six candles reflected 1.5 million times in a hall of mirrors. At the site's Hall of Remembrance, he heard a cantor sing a Jewish prayer for the dead.
Shalev presented Bush with illustrations of the Bible drawn by the Jewish artist Carol Deutsch, who perished in the Holocaust.
Deutsch created the works while in hiding from the Nazis in Belgium. He was informed upon, and died in 1944 in the Buchenwald camp. After the war, his daughter Ingrid discovered that the Nazis had confiscated their furniture and valuables but had left behind a single item: a meticulously crafted wooden box adorned with a Star of David and a seven-branched menorah, containing a collection of 99 of the artist's illustrations of biblical scenes.
The originals are on display at Yad Vashem. The memorial recently decided to produce a special series of 500 replicas, the first of which was to be presented to Bush.
Debbie Deutsch-Berman, a Yad Vashem employee whose grandfather was Deutsch's brother, said she was proud that Bush would be given her relative's artwork.
"These are not just his paintings, they are his legacy, and the fact that they survived shows that as much as our enemies tried to destroy the ideas that these paintings embody, they failed," she said.
Later Friday, Bush was to wrap up his three-day visit to Israel and the PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi territories with a visit to Christian holy sites in Galilee before departing for Kuwait, the next stop on his Mideast tour.

That's the current trend : pretending one is "moved" about the fact the Allies didn't do anything to stop the Concentration Camps,
and demanding the right of existence of the Jewish people...

Jews didn't have the state so were not seen as important enough to be saved, so alies choosed to bomb german cities instead. Besides mayority of Eastern European Jews were ortodox and not fit to new modern (secular) Israel the zionist left and American Estblishment enwisioned, One last thing Alan Dules was making oil deals with Saudis during the war, not only British wanted to build petrol empire in ME, The apathy towards the holocaust coud be a part of the prize . This the lesson for modern Israel if it willl be weak in future it will be eaten by wolfes with all the world's opinion simpathy of course.::) Bush already sold half of Jerusalem for Saudi support against Iran.

We got shtupped every which way during the Holocaust! >:( Thanks Habib Bush, "We should have bombed Aushwitz"? Thanks, moron, you're only 65-70 years too late. I'll second it, doesn't that Arab terrorist lover Bush and that other Terrorist Arab Olmert understand the significance of the picture of Aushwitz and Yad Vashem as a whole to what they're doing to Israel? The funniest of all Aunt Jemima Rice, smoothing over what Habib said? May they all burn for what they're doing! >:(

USA entered war only after Perl Harbour Hitler declared War on them beliving the US Pacific fleet to be wiped out. They were massive pro Soviet and pro Nazi lobbies along the NWO British snd American elites. And Israel was and will be below the oil on western priorities list, the former was seen as hobby of gentlemen zionists fom high society the later is serius buisness. And all epochs are blind to present evils they commit.

I tell them I support the Palestinian state too, this one alredy existing since 1923 in Jordan. ::) But its hard when even Israeli right wing papers like Jerusalem Post use terms as: Balestine, ocupied territories, peace process, Balestinian nation etc... :-\
