White House Parties with Live Band While Israel Suffers Terror Attack 

“In the late afternoon and early evening, a live band could be heard coming from the area around the Rose Garden. Your pooler asked why a band was playing,” the report recounted.

 

The White House apparently partied as the Palestinian terror attack against Israel this weekend inflicted what legal scholar Eugene Kontorovich called the “worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.”

The Palestinian terror attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret. The holiday is the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle. Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak reported:

More Jews have died in individual wars; over 2,500 Israeli soldiers were killed in the Yom Kippur War of 1973, for example. But those were not massacres of Israeli civilians.

Roughly six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. In the early phase of World War II, many Jews in Nazi-occupied lands were rounded up, loaded unto trucks, and shot. Elsewhere, Jews were imprisoned in ghettos, then rounded up in cattle cars, and murdered by the Nazis in death camps or worked to death in forced labor camps.

Many of the scenes from Saturday’s terror attacks — including Jews being forced onto trucks, and innocent people, including children, being shot or held at gunpoint — evoked memories of the Holocaust for Jews around the world.
