The poignant words of the late Prime Minister Golda Meir are revealing. "We owe a responsibility not only to those who are in Israel but also to those generations that are no more. to those millions that have died within our lifetime. to Jews all over the world and generations of Jews to come. We hate war. We dont rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel." I speak as a refugee born in Chu. Kazakhstan (USSR) in November 1945. to Polish Holocaust survivors. There I spent my early childhood in Displaced Persons Camps in Austria and Germany before moving to Israel in 1949. The current suffering of millions of refugees from Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan and elsewhere should move us all to caring action with caution. but not allowing for moral paralysis.
