Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara Netanyahu met today (Thursday) with Holocaust survivors from the beacons of the state rally to open Yad Vashem's Holocaust Remembrance Day and Heroism, at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu: “Izzy (Yitzhak, one of the survivors) said here: “The State of Israel is the one and only refuge for the Jewish people” – so true; and Michael (one of the survivors) said: “You should not trust the Gentiles who make promises.”
Netanyahu also said, “If it is possible to receive the help of the Gentiles, I am always in favor. But in the greatest holocaust, great leaders like Roosevelt, who told him what was happening in Auschwitz and Birkenau and the death camps, told him and he knew and his answer was: “One pilot will fall on my body here”, no I lost one pilot and refused to accept the Jews. Churchill, whom I greatly admire, tried to mobilize his army, but his army rebelled against him.”
Netanyahu concluded: “If we have to stand alone – we stand alone. If we can mobilize the gentiles – that's good. But if we don't protect ourselves – no one will protect us. The power at our disposal is the power I heard here – we have no other power “.
