From Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel’s remarks with President Obama at the former concentration camp today:
You spoke of humanity, Mr. President. Though unto us, in those times, it was human to be inhuman. And now the world has learned, I hope. And of course this hope includes so many of what now would be your vision for the future, Mr. President. A sense of security for Israel, a sense of security for its neighbors, to bring peace in that place. The time must come. It’s enough — enough to go to cemeteries, enough to weep for oceans. It’s enough. There must come a moment — a moment of bringing people together.
Not that either Benjamin Netanyahu or Charles Krauthammer — or these idiots — will pay attention, but it’s still the right sentiment.
