Hitler's Wallet
Q: It is 1933. You are in Berlin, Germany. Somehow, you find yourself in a position where you can effortlessly steal Adolf Hitler's wallet. This theft will not effect Hitler's rise to power, the nature of World War II, or the Holocaust. There is no important identification in the wallet, but the act will cost Hitler forty Reichsmarks and completely ruin his evening. You do not need the money. The odds that you will be caught committing this crime are less than two percent. Are you ethically obligated to steal Hitler's wallet?
21 miles off the coast of Palestine...
A ship full of Jewish refugees, many of them survivors of the Holocaust, tried to break the British blockade of Palestine in 1947. British soldiers boarded the ship 21 miles off the coast of Palestine killing three of the refugees and wounding others. It caused an international scandal and was a PR disaster for the British government. It is seen in Israel today as one of the most significant events that led to the founding of the modern Israeli state.

Zionist-Putinist alliance against "falsification of history"
"[There is an] ongoing campaign to rewrite WWII history by mitigating Nazism, insisting that communism's evils be proclaimed "equal" to Nazism, and trashing the Allied war effort as one that did nothing but replace one tyranny with another "equal" one in the east," writes Dovid Katz, professor of Judaic studies at Vilnius University and research director at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute.
The peoples of eastern Europe suffered enormously under communism for decades after the war, while we westerners were enjoying unbridled freedom and prosperity. It is absolutely right that they should now call for thorough investigation of the crimes committed by communist regimes. But the demand that the entire EU declare Nazism and communism to be "equal" is something else entirely. The east European cabal's greatest success to date is the Prague Declaration, which demands that the EU recognise communism and fascism as a "common legacy", and that "all European minds" think that way. Its practical demands include a new Nuremberg-type tribunal for trying the criminals of communism and, unbelievably, a demand for the "overhaul of European history textbooks." The entire "red-equals-brown" movement within eastern Europe panders to base instincts. It has hit upon a convenient way to stigmatise not only "Russians", but also today's Russia. These nations have every right to fear Russia, but this legitimate concern must not be compromised by the attempts of some at historical falsification and the peddling of contemporary racism and antisemitism.
