| …What’s interesting for those of us with memories of history in the Dutch case is how forty years ago at this time there were still, I believe, dozens of Dutch truck drivers in the country who had volunteered to come here during the Yom Kippur War because of the mass call-up. I myself, at the time, not yet an Israeli citizen, happened to be in the country at the time and I too volunteered to drive a truck, in my case carrying fuel from the refineries in Haifa, because all the able-bodied truck drivers were still in uniform.
This was six years after the Six-Day War and I don’t recall anyone in Holland complaining that Israel was in illegal occupation of these very same hills. It was not an issue. Also from an historical point of view, the hypocrisy of the British takes one’s breath away… |
