    When he spoke about moving rail, my mouth fell open. I work on the railways and even the smallest bits of rail are extremely heavy, we do all the moving with machines. The fact that he survived that sort of labour on extremely poor nutrition is unbelievable. This man is supposed to be here for very good reason!

    Mr. Klein, as a German who was born 1943 in Prag, I can tell you that I feel deeply ashamed about the cruelty done by my ancesters. The first time I had that feeling was when I visited the village of Oradour sur Glane in France. Let's hope and pray that these cruelties will never occur again.

    Where are the concentration camps in Israel? Where are the crematories? Are Palestinians captured allover the world and brought to the concentration camps in Israel? Where are the gas chambers used in killing of Palestinians? Nazis killed about 6 million Jews in less then 5 years. The number of Palestinians killed in the conflict (since 1948) is nowhere near 6 million. Care to explain?
