(Apr. 22, 2025) — Once upon a time in Nazi Germany, unexplainable and inexcusable hatred infected and obliterated the rational mind. Universities became sewers of monolithic thought crime where the students knew better than their professors…or else. It all exploded on Nov. 9, 1938, when Nazis attacked Jewish businesses and 1,400 religious sites throughout Germany, destroying thousands of stores and synagogues. This attack was called Kristallnacht which means the Night of the Broken Glass. Jews had contributed to German culture for hundreds of years and now they were ostracized and attacked as evil. You know the rest of that story.
This all seems reprehensible and a singularity when viewed from America in the 2020s. After all, Frank Zappa sang the song, “It Can’t Happen Here.” Unfortunately, it already has happened here and America has gone bat you-know-what crazy. Elon Musk was unquestionably a hero not too long ago. He practically invented the EV car and truck which was the hallmark of the “weather gonna kill us” crazies. Leftists loved their Elon. Elon Musk is a revolutionary and like most revolutions, the tar and feather folks eventually turn against their leaders and execute them. Musk is now inexplicably the target of hatred. The sound of shattering Tesla windshields is reminiscent of Kristallnacht and the rise of antisemitism of Germany in the ’30s.
Our so-called leading educational institutions such as Harvard and Columbia have been transformed into seedbeds of hatred directed at Jews and Israel. These same cretins loudly hail Hamas which is one of the most barbaric entities in the history of the world. Jewish students are denied entry into classrooms where opposing ideas are debated. Antisemitic epithets are hurled which are tolerated by their respective administrations. Unless the majority of Americans who believe in fairness and freedom demand cessation of this hatred, attacks will grow in intensity and barbarity. Their motto is “From the River to the Sea” which is nothing more than code words for Holocaust the SequelTM. These misguided hooligans will soon call for Jews to take train rides. You know what lies at the end of that line.
Like a slowly metastasizing cancer, the rise of antisemitism has taken hold in America. All governments lie, sometimes occasionally, sometimes nonstop. Under Autopen Biden, America has learned to always deceive and subjugate the American People into bleating obedience. The manmade and partially US-funded Covid-19 virus gave the American government the excuse to corral the American Sheeple into supplication and abeyance, perhaps permanently. This allowed the BLM movement to burn down cities and murder people, basing their crimes on a lie acceptable to our government and U.S. corporations. Antifa, you know, the anti-fascist fascists, then jumped in and started rioting. All this led to the widespread theft and looting in stores without fear of criminal prosecution. These are the sparks which allowed the growth of antisemitism. This is not a theoretical exercise of paranoia. Antisemitism has even arrived in small mountain cities such as Prescott, AZ where a city police car has to be deployed to protect worshipers at a local temple at every service out of fear.
Once upon a time, the Democratic Party was a major supporter of Israel. Within mere decades, Israel, consisting of Jewish and Arabic people, transformed what had been a squalid dustbowl for centuries into a Paradise on Earth. Jealousy and tyrannical governments surrounded Israel spewing propaganda about the evil of Israel. It has infected Democrats and impressionable young students where the majority of them now ostracize Israel and have a newly found love affair with Hamas as well as the twenty million invaders who they welcomed into America.
The monster is beginning to turn its head to even Democrats. PA Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, was attacked when firebombs were hurled into his home on the first night of Passover. No one will be spared as this hatred continues to grow.
America is much better and stronger than this. The Democratic Party, maybe not. However, this cancer of antisemitism must be excised if we wish to continue to call ourselves American.
It breaks my heart that my Jewish Sisters and Bro’s are afraid to attend service without fear.
It is so much more convenient to blame others for one’s misfortunes. The ignorant are always searching for a scapegoat. Unfortunately, the people of the Jewish faith have been wrongfully targeted in the past and are wrongfully targeted now.
Let’s look at Gaza. Gaza could have replaced the French Riviera and Monaco as the premier resort location of the Mediterranean. They were given billions of dollars for improvements, but the money was spent on tunnels and weapons instead of enhancements.
That’s right, the money was spent on hate, and look what it got them.
And, to top it off, they blame the Jews for their misfortunes.
Maybe someday a Muslim will see herself or himself in the mirror for what they are, but until then, nothing will change. Little boys will be taught about apes and pigs and paraded carrying AK-47s. Girls will not be taught anything.
As I said, ignorant.
