The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: Vain Self-Glorification

Recently, there has been much debate on the jblogs regarding Yom Ha'Shoah. However, Yated in their latest outrageous attempt at social commentary does not mention the controversy of that particular day of mourning. Instead they lash out vitriolically at some of the well-known heroes of that dark era in Jewish history.

Here is Yated's idiotic take on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Their ridiculous headline sums it all up:

"The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: Throwing Away One's Life for Three Lines in History"

Why did these brave men and women choose to fight the Nazis, knowing that they were doomed to die in the death camps of Poland?

Yated's answer:
"...vain pride and empty self-glorification."

Many would posit that these fighters knew that they had no chance of success, yet decided to ensure that as many Nazis as possible perished with them. Sounds pretty heroic.

Not according to Yated:
"This was not heroism... it was no more than an act of despair without any hope of real conventional success."

Some would praise these Jews and compare them to Shimshon, who died saying "Let me die with these Philistines!"

As always, Yated sees things differently:
"...self-defense in such circumstances would be nothing other than hopeless and senseless suicide."

All this makes one wonder, are the editors and writers of Yated Ne'eman so utterly senseless to believe the drivel that they publish?
