Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, right, gesture as they stand next to French President Emmanuel Macron during their meeting in Jerusalem, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2020.
But the unresolved remnants of World War II’s politics have permeated the solemn assembly over the differing historical narratives of various players. Poland’s president, who’s been criticized for his own wartime revisionism, has boycotted the gathering since he wasn’t invited to speak.
Arkadi Zeltser, a Yad Vashem historian, said the accuracy of the statement depended on rival “definitions” of when the war began. Yad Vashem, along with all other reputable institutions, considers the war to have been sparked on Sept. 1, 1939 with the invasion of Poland. The Soviets generally consider their “Great Patriotic War” to have started two years later, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
For Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu it offered another opportunity to solidify Israel’s diplomatic standing and boost his profile as he seeks re-election on March 2. He was hoping to use his meetings with world leaders to bolster his tough line toward Iran and rally opposition to a looming war crimes case against Israel in the International Criminal Court.
What about Netanyahu's persecution of the Palestinians? This is shameful! Also, another fact is millions of Christians, Catholic Priests, Poles, Swedes,Norwegians & other countries citizens have also been murdered, raped, burned, gassed, etc. It was not just the Jewish people.
