What you dont hear about the Middle East in the MSM ever

[Vutulaki]

I did not want to go to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, during our pilgrimage in Israel last week. It seems enough to know (without the accompanying tragic images) that European Jews of the last century endured an amount of suffering that boggles the mind.

Although violence and misery were everywhere during the dark years of World War II, the museum focuses on what has rightly been called the "crime of crimes," or genocide. A U.N. convention defines it as an attempt to destroy a group through extermination, torture and forced deportation. At Yad Vashem you get a sickening understanding of the process and its vicious, systematic ruthlessness. European Jewry was coldly, efficiently and mercilessly reduced in a few short years from 9.5 to 3.5 million – not only an incalculable loss of God's children, but of a whole beautiful and rich culture and community. During that hour in the museum, each person lost seems to clutch at your heart.

Later that week, far to the north of Jerusalem, we saw something else which clutched at our hearts. From the top of a ruined and bullet-pocked building on the Golan Heights we saw an eerily deserted Syrian town – dusty, dry and rubbled, with a church rising from its center. And we could hear the sound of constant bombing like low rumbles of distant thunder. Hazy puffs of black smoke on the horizon accompanied the sound of destruction and death.

^ that wasn't for you, was for everyone else

Thought if you really were gonna promote this place on Twitter I had to prepare the noobs/lurkers for what they would find

Good thread, though perhaps I'll bump it to the Politics section. The holocaust and the ironic evolution on what was done on its heels is indeed a subject I have been quite interested in for some time.

Amazing the things people will see if they actually visit the Middle East. Things that the MSM would never dream of informing them of. Like genocide.
