Auschwitz anger at Israeli fly-past

Israeli fighter jets have staged a fly-past at the Auschwitz concentration
camp in Poland, despite objections that the display was inappropriate.
Three F-15 aircraft - piloted by descendants of Holocaust survivors -
circled over the railway tracks which transported more than a million Jews
to their deaths during the Holocaust.
But in a statement earlier, the museum that runs the site deplored "the
demonstration of Israeli military might in this place".
"It's a cemetery, a place of silence and concentration," said museum
spokesman Jaroslaw Mensfelt.
Mr Mensfelt said the museum was not consulted about the fly-past.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Jonathan Peled said the event was being
staged with the full co-operation of the Polish authorities.
'Tribute'
The Israeli pilots who staged the fly-past are in Poland as part of
celebrations to mark the Polish air force's 85th anniversary.
Officers do not fight here, they cry here
Shevach Weiss, Israeli ambassador to Poland
The planes, emblazoned with Stars of David visible from the ground, flew
above the camp along the railway tracks which led to the crematoria before
peeling away.
Israel's ambassador to Poland, Shevach Weiss, and about 200 Israeli
soldiers, also took part at a ceremony at the camp.
"It's a protest against the inhumanity of the Nazis on the Polish
territory," Mr Weiss said. "It's a tribute to the ashes of those who were
killed here."
The ambassador said he regretted the museum's opposition to the fly-past.
"Officers do not fight here, they cry here," he added.
Up to one-and-a-half million people were killed by the Nazis in the
Auschwitz-Birkenau camps between 1940 and 1945.

Among the resolutions of the 34th Zionist Congress
in Jerusalem in 2002, one resolution called for criminalizing
anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Indeed, since then, there have been a
growing number of attempts to stifle criticism of Israel by defining it
as a new form of anti-Semitism. French journalists were put on trial
for reporting the shooting of Palestinians, the BBC was excommunicated
by the Israeli government, and campaigns to silence academic criticism
of Israel have been mounted in the U.S., including one spearheaded by
the hatemonger formerly known as Daniel Pipes...
