Labor Zionists realized that the Jews had rejected them and<br />

the tenets of their false messiah. Instead of a state run on<br />

evil, the Torah-believers and the moral secularists had won<br />

the day. The Laborite Sabbataians decided that no state at<br />

all was preferable to a revival of true Judaism. On that day<br />

the war began in earnest.<br />

For a decade from 1967, the Jews and local Arabs had<br />

drifted towards a peaceful state of affairs that would be<br />

resolved over time through mutual prosperity. That would<br />

have to change through wars and violent rebellions. Over<br />

time, Israel would be worn down and would dissolve. The<br />

means to the misery would be the promotion to power of one<br />

Yasir Arafat.<br />

I came home from Adir's funeral and turned on the Education<br />

Channel. A British program about the making of Hitler began.<br />

Normally, I would switch from this kind of subject to a sitcom,<br />

but immediately I saw that this documentary was very<br />

different. Of Hitler we learn:<br />

- In his adolescence he was smitten by a Jewish girl,<br />

Stephanie Isak, sent her love letters and fantasized about<br />

marrying her.<br />

- In Mein Kampf, Hitler writes that he learned to be an anti-<br />

Semite as a struggling artist in Vienna. Nothing could be<br />

further from the truth. Rejected by the art academy, he<br />

painted street scenes and sold them to Jewish galleries and<br />

art dealers. While staying in a hostel for young men, he<br />

befriended numerous Jewish tenants.<br />

- During the war, not one soldier heard an anti-Semitic<br />

remark from Hitler and a Jewish officer, Col. Gutman,<br />

recommended him for the Iron Cross.<br />

It was after the war that Hitler joined a Communist group in<br />

the army. Within weeks, he joined a similar right wing army<br />

political group. From there his political career suddenly<br />

soared.
