I think it is a simpler reason. Basically it is a result of their narrative for the reason Israel exists:

1) West is overcome with remorse at not having saved the Jews in the second world war,
2) As such they “give” “Palestine” to Israel.

Now if it turns out Jews weren’t really killed then there is nothing to feel bad about and so you can “give” “Palestine” back.

NB none of the 2 pillars are true but this is the standard narrative.

And yet Wiesel gives Obama credibility by appearing with him at Buchenwald and suggesting that he, Obama, can make a positive difference in this world.

Mr. Wiesel, what could you be thinking. Obama ignores the madman from Iran’s ranting.

Claudia, in regard to your latest article on Obama in Forbes,
there are at least two points that you are factually wrong on:
1. Putin is no longer the Prime Minister, he hasn’t been for a long while now and
2. There’s no way to prevent a terrorist plan from being hatched; there
is a way however, to prevent it from being implemented and the major part (the one that mattered) of it’s hands-on planning and implementation did not happen during Clinton’s time.

You lost a lot credibility with the article in question.

[Ed. note: Alex, Putin hasn't been president for a while, but unless you know something the rest of us don't, he's still the prime minister.]

Wiesel went on to warn that there is a chronic tendency to think such things could never happen, to believe that fanatics such as Ahmadnejad, or his patron Ayatollah Khamenei, don’t really mean what they say.

I'm profoundly sorry that I can't remember the proper attribution, but there is an all-too-human thought process that, a wiser person than I, suggested approximates this:

It has not happened in my experience, which is proof that it cannot and will not happen in the future.
