Wonderful but sad. Better learn that than face another Auschwitz. The price of freedom.

@BRANSCOMBEx Maybe because of issues that require the same people to be available for immediate action?

I think our very good Iranian friends are confused with English, falling apart has the same end result as taken apart, but it is much easier and cheaper to watch Iran fall apart than to take it apart.

Having a few nuclear heads and delivery systems may be a bad idea when the other party has many...

@ofri75 I think that number 2 would make more sense. I question the ability of many aircraft in Russia to take off, even more to fight. I cannot comment about their pilots but the best pilot needs something to fly. For Israel no need to question pilots or equipment, same for the US.

Remember Ira...

@82abhilash This song is a summer camp song for kids, and of course it is widespread into the kibbutz culture and Tzahal (Israeli Defense Force). It is all about brotherhood. How good it feels to sit together among brethren. In this movie it is the idea of bringing your brother back home safe. Un...

I failed to mention in my previous note that the Kingdom of Jerusalem was not a state by any legal definition: no head of state, no independent institutions... It belonged to the Holy See and the Pope was the "king" of that kingdom, Jerusalem was the state capital, as it was during the Roman occu...

From the comments I read it appears that killing children for what their parents might have been doing is acceptable? The kids dying either from starvation or killed by the Turks conspired against the great Ottoman Empire? I heard that Armenians are very smart but 5 to 10 y old spies are rare. My...

Whatever the technical definition of a genocide when millions are killed including children it is a genocide. Turkey was not even in existence, why not admit to it? Germany did not deny the crimes of the NAZI regime. Nobody alive in Turkey now committed these atrocities, why deny? Anyone who call...

@cf1934 The French version is very caustic, sarcastic and mostly about his wife cheating on him. The American/Canadian versions are more romantic. I got used to Terry jack's version but I agree the Kingston Trio is much better, more life in it, closer to Brel's tune if not words. Hope you had a M...

His French is good! First time I hear this mix of Terry Jack and Brel in one show. La version de Brel est caustique, abrasive, comme Vecchioni dans la version italienne. Jack made it romantic and very different. I like the original one from Brel better but both are excellent.

@Iain1962 Brel is caustic, this song is not his best in this style, "Les Flamands", goes much further ("Nazi during the wars and Catholics in-between " referring to the Church). People loved him or hated him. His private life was not that good. TJ made a nice romantic poem of it and most translat...

Amazing how many versions and translations of this song have been made. Some are good but Brel remains the best.

Why do people connect the return of the Jewish people to its land in 1890 (Tel Aviv was founded in 1906) with the Holocaust that happened 50 years later?

Israel was not created because or despite the Holocaust and the Holocaust happened only because most Christians hated the Jews, ignorant that J...
