By Alan Caruba at Warning Signs "On June 20, 1936, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia addressed the League of Nations following the annexation of his nation by Italy the previous year, after Mussolini’s army had invaded. Both nations were members of the League. It condemned the invasion and had imposed economic sanctions that were weak and ignored by its members. (This related newsreel may be prophetic)
"In the wake of having been driven from Ethiopia, Selassie warned the League’s assembled diplomats “It is us today. It will be you tomorrow.” "....(More excerpts after the video)
This video seems to portray the plight of Israel in 2012, right down to the Italian catcalls that speak to me of today's leftist, anti-Israel protesters. Our current national leadership is made from the same mold as those weak-willed leaders of the 1936 democracies, who, in fairness, were only reflecting the attitudes of the public who put them in power and kept them there. (Their "base", as we refer to them today. Their base is an ass.)TD
1936 NEWS: EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE OF ETHIOPIA ADDRESSES LEAGUE OF NATIONS
....Caruba's column continues: Netanyahu "asked of a nuclear Iran, “who would be safe in the Middle East, in Europe, in America, anywhere?” Just as Selassie had told the League of Nations, Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly a blunt truth, but it has not stirred many, including the U.S., to action except to park warships in the Persian Gulf, a familiar warning. "
....
"Israel will be tasked to save the West because the West, once again, cannot find the courage to save itself, just like in 1936."
Cowardice now, just as then, puts millions of Jewish lives at the mercy of wicked nations who want to kill Jews by the millions and who have a proven track record of doing just that. TD

In 2005, I humbly requested George Bush to bomb, bomb, BOMB the nuke sites in Iran - but he didn't listen to me - and I cited in my memorandum to the White House 1930s style appeasement of Nazi Germany that made WW II inevitable.
Like the Second World War, historians of the future will note - as Churchill did concerning WW II - that global conflict could have easily been prevented had the West stood up early to to Iranian aggression instead of the policy of appeasement.
Once again, many thanks for posting excellent articles on my blog!
