Danish support for Jews is commemorated on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day

Rechavia Berman delivers flowers to the Royal Danish Embassy in Tel Aviv on the Eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2012

After Irit Linur’s calumny against the Danes hit the airwaves in Israel, quite a few listeners were angry – at Linur’s pleasure at Shalom Eisner’s wanton violence against a Danish youth, but also at the ingratitude about the Danish role in keeping the Jews of Denmark safe. More than 99% of the Jews of Denmark survived the horrors of WWII, despite the Nazi occupation of Denmark.

Two of the most outraged Israelis were journalist Rechavia Berman and filmmaker Eran Vered. They pooled their recession-hit resources and brought a bouquet of flowers to the Danish embassy Tel Aviv – by way of thanks, and acknowledgment.

As you can see, the Danish embassy staff didn’t quite know what to do with the gesture – no one had ever showed up with flowers to thank them, before.

You can read Rechavia’s comments on Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day (held yesterday) here: Like We Just Got Out Of The Ghetto.

Eran Vered’s work is available on his YouTube channel, as well as many other fine video hosts.

(excerpts). . . First, here is the International Middle East Media Center’s report on the Norwegians’ work at the village of Beit Iskaria, near the Israeli settlement Eleazar, on March 7:

On Wednesday morning a group of 11 Norwegian students and their teacher joined Yassin Da’doua on his land to plant 200 olive trees as part of the olive tree planting campaign organized by Joint Advocacy Initiative of East Jerusalem YMCA and YWCA of Palestine.
The group along with the Palestinian farmer and his family managed to plant half of the trees on Wednesday before the leader of the radical settler organization ‘Women in Green’, Nadia Matar, arrived along with two other Israeli settlers who started taking photos of the young Norwegians.
“Your grandparents have killed my grandparents in the holocaust and now you are helping the Arabs to steal our land. This is the land for the people of Israel. You are helping the wrong people. You are like the Nazis.” Matar shouted at the Norwegian students. . .
. . . “How can they call me a Nazi? My grandparents fought the Nazis during the second world war,” said one of the Norwegian students responding to Matar comments.
