zahavasdad – I didn’t miss the point. I’m making another point. I believe it is still valid to try to avoid conspicuous consumption of consumer products i.e. BMW, Mercedes, when it is possible to buy something else equally good, even as a chinuch to our children and especially for a gashmius item, like a nicer car or piece of clothing, that we do not forget so easily the crimes committed against us. We need to remember Amalek and we need to remember the Germans. Obviously, if the item is something needed for health, i.e. medication, medical equipment, etc. then we should use it by all means. to jdf007: you’re right, we do need to go after the current “nazis”, but we need to remember the ghosts to realize the harm the new ones can bring if gone unchecked.
