Is It Too Late Again?

Years ago , in 1987 to be exact, I  made a huge mistake.  I believed my alcoholic former husband would have rachmunos , or what Christians call  mercy, in our divorce. I actually believed his declarations of undying love. Since I was the mother of his children and (fictionalized here). I naively thought he understood that his behavior was detrimental to our family and so I mistakenly conceded all for “peace.” Foolishly, I didn’t even ask for alimony. Unfortunately, I did not recognize that he had declared war until it was too late. That was my personal “Never again!” moment.I Hate Jews

When are American Jews going to have theirs?  The signs of mounting anti- Semitism, anti- Zionism, or just plain Jew hatred are everywhere. For instance, the PLO terror trial that granted more than 250  billion dollars ( more than 600 according to the Terrorism Law) to the families of  terror victims didn’t even break a 24 hour news cycle. This historical decision should have made newspaper headlines, breaking news, and every talking head announcement. Instead, there wasn’t even a blip. Perhaps it was because the PLO and PLA were found guilty of inciting and paying terrorists to murder and mutilate innocent Jewish civilians. Now Mahmoud Abbas and his henchmen can’t be called moderates The families of murdered loved ones were finally heard and documentation of “Palestinian” leaders showed incontrovertible evidence that they were accountable for jihadi mayhem. Unfortunately, for our Islamophilo administration and its media hacks that evidence belies the myth of a peaceful“ two state solution.”

In the case of the Arab Bank, which was sued for funding terrorism, our State Department sided with the Bank, against the survivors and families of the victims of terror! Once again, a historical case was propelled to page 15 or a minor headline on the internet. Due to the hard work and vision of Shurat Ha Din Law Center and the legal work of Motley Rice, this was the first time victims of terrorism successfully brought charges against a financial institute that knowingly supported terror. Although the Arab Bank is appealing, this landmark decision is a warning to other banks that if they fund terrorism that they will be held liable according to US Terrorism law.

How about all the “pro Israel” organizations that fund Israel’s demise? Not just JStreet and Peace Now, but the UJA which supports the New Israel Fund. The NIF is a far left organization who works for “progressive change in Israel.” Just like the progressives transformed America into a country that is no longer a republic, but on the cusp of being a totalitarian dictatorship, they want to transform the  tiny  Jewish nation into its death throe.  One of the tactics these faux pro-Israel organizations support is the toxic BDS movement. Unfortunately, many college students are faced with discovering that anti- Zionism is just a cover for Jew hatred. ( here).

We have Democrats who refused to attend the Netanyahu speech.  Muslim Brotherhood members and Islamo sycophants like John Brennen, Valerie  Jarrett, Huma Abedin, and Mohammed Eliabiary work in crucial  government agencies, and the “ paper of record” the New York Times has to make corrections about  its scandalous Israel reporting almost daily.  We’re cautioned by our “elites” that Islamophobia is  something  real and causes violence against the Muslim community.  The problem with this is that it’s a big lie. As of 2012, according to the FBI there were 5 times as many crimes against Jews than Muslims.  Our president, Barack Hussein Obama, ignores terrorism against Jews by declaring  it random and once again Jews go back to sleep. Why not?  Our esteemed government decided that there is  no anti- Semitism on California campuses and the ADL assisted their argument.here

We forget there was a time in this country when we weren’t welcome.  We forget that hotels and restaurants had signs that said no Jews or dogs allowed. We forget that our ancestors were told they could be Jewish but not too Jewish, and that Henry Ford was a huge anti- Semite. Unfortunately, we’re being reminded and too many Jews are still asleep. It’s time to wake up before it’s too late-no Jews again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jews On the Side of the Tigers Once Again

Dead_rabbiAbe Foxman, head of the ADL, has, once again, stood on the side of the tiger. He    announced that Bibi should not speak to our Congress since it is “unhelpful” with “unintended consequences.” As a Jew  I am sick of these milquetoast orators and back slappers “representing the Jewish people.” Foxman, named appropriately, is like the perennial fox in the henhouse. His standing as a “macher,” a Yiddish word for big shot, because he’s  head of  a “major Jewsih organization” gives him credibility while in actuality the Anti- Defamation League has lost its credibility for any Jew who’s been paying attention.

The Anti- Defamation league is no longer a Jewish organization advocating for Jews and monitoring anti- Semitic attacks.  It is just another one of the progressive collaborating organizations advocating for the rights of the transgender community, homosexuals, and Blacks. It is also interesting to note that the organization is solidly against displaying the Ten Commandments, the common standard of moral behavior of both Jews and Christians, in any public building. No matter that displaying the Ten Rules of civilized behavior is not the same as declaring a government religion like in Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or even the Church of England. No, Abe Foxman does not speak for me or for most Jews I know.

If the words “ Never again” actually mean something, then people like Caroline Glick, Ben Shapiro, Pamela Geller, and Morton Klein actually do speak for many in the Jewish community. We have a president who announces that the Islamic terror massacre of the Jewish grocery, Hyper Cacher, was “random.” I’m sure that thousands of Jews fleeing France is just random too, or in our new Orwellian logic just a coincidence. According to the Jerusalem Post Jews were omitted from a list of minorities mentioned in President Obama’s authorization of force to Congress:

“US  President Barack Obama, in his proposed resolution for Congress that formally authorizes broad-scale use of force against the Islamic State terrorist organization wherever it is, specifically singles out several ethnic groups threatened by the group: Iraqi Christians, Yezidis and Turkmens. ”

I’m sure that was just a random mistake or misprint because no member of any Muslim the group has ever declared “Death to the Jews” or murdered Jews in the name of Allah.

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
– George Orwell

Unfortunately many secular Jews don’t know their own history and continue to grovel to those in power. Instead of unending  Holocaust education about all the Jews that were murdered like sheep for the slaughter, maybe we should have monuments and memorials for all the Jews who fought valiantly for their people like Herzl and Jabotinsky.

Theordor Herzl, an educated secular Jew, was both a lawyer and journalist who covered the notoriously anti-Semitic Dreyfus affair, He believed that anti-Semitism was so rampant that either Jews needed to convert or have a country of their own in order to survive. Zev Jabotinsky was another cosmopolitan Jew who understood the necessity of trained Jewish soldiers standing up in the defense of Jews. Menacham Begin, a disciple, believed that as well. Without his underground war against the British, the state of Israel may not have been resurrected. Rabbi Meir Kahane, formerly an FBI agent, created the Jewish Defense League to protect Jewish communities against anti- Semitic violence. Ironically, he was the first casualty of Palestinian terrorism on USA soil. The young people in the Warsaw Ghetto miraculously held off the Nazis for a month with smuggled and homemade weapons. The percentage that lived to tell the tale is extraordinary considering the strength of the enemy.

Jews have a history of standing on the side of the tiger and eventually getting eaten. Many thought Hitler would bring prosperity back to Germany and Communism would bring an end to anti- Semitism. The millions slaughtered by both ideologies tell the ugly truth. Jews need to stand up for themselves and learn to protect themselves before the tiger’s next meal.

Orwellian Anti-Semitism

mlk%20eisendrath%20torah%20heschel

Many  pundits and  Intellectuals  use the term Orwellian to describe all the lies and ridiculous policies of our  government.  In Orwell’s masterwork, 1984, the word for this is “doublethink.” An example of this is when the world watched amd applauded the Charlie Hebdo international “protest march.” In reality it was a travesty.  The two biggest Jew haters, Abbas and Erdogen, pretended that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with them. Both of them incite their people to maim and murder Jews and afterward celebrate the murderers as heroes. When a Muslim jihadist stabbed 13 people on a Tel Aviv bus, Abbas, who was no longer marching for the cameras, said nothing. Instead,  Prime Minster Natanyahu made a statement about the unprovoked attack:

“,,,is the direct result of the poisonous incitemen by the Palestinian Authority against the Jews and their state.”  He continued “[Abbas] is responsible for both the incitement and the dangerous move at the ICC”

 The leaders of France, Britain, and Germany walked arm In arm to demonstrate their stand against terrorism (or something like that). Yet  when 13 people were stabbed  by a  Muslim jihadist on a Tel Aviv bus there was only  silence. Of course, down the “memory hole” went the fact that all three countries have a history of  anti-Semitism. France can feign outrage but the government ignored the cries of Jews that they were being abused, beaten, and murdered for fifteen years, starting with the torture and murder of Ilan Halimi. England fought the Jews and allied with the Arabs in mandated Palestine, betrayed its own Balfour Declaration, and according to a recent report, no Jew has won a discrimination lawsuit in more than ten years. Germany has a well known history of Jew hatred, but many people are unaware of the extent France collaborated with them during WWII

Many of us are used to historic events, like Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the Bo Bergdhal travesty, and Seal Team Six to mention a few,of being discarded down the “memory hole”but the daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel was shocked that her father was missing from the movie Selma. She was shocked because her father was an advisor to Martin Luther King and walked arm and arm with him during that march. Jews were in the front line of the civil rights movement. Young Jewish men were murdered registering black voters in the segregated south..This is history. Rabbis from many synagogues joined the Freedom March because they believed it was a religious obligation. So did King. It all went down the “memory hole.”

Words like transparency and marriage have lost meaning because society has adopted the Orwellian“newspeak” which is eerily similar to political correctness.  When our president says ISIS is not Islamic that’s newspeak. When  terrorism is called “manmade disasters” and the public is told that Al Queda is “on the run”  that is also Orwellian.

But there’s  a salient fact that nobody mentions. In Orwell’s 1984 everyone must participate in  a daily” two minutes of hate.” The crowd  works itself into a frenzy. Interestingly, the hate is directed at the villain, Emmanual Goldstein. The name makes it obvious that he is a Jew.  Orwell, who understood the power of language, chose that name for a reason. Interestingly too, 1984 is 1948 backwards. That was the year Israel became a country.

Orwell was a visionParis Marchary and believed in the importance of words and how they shape culture.. “Political language . . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind” Anti-Semitism  is once again respectable.  Israel endures more than two minutes of hate daily and Islam is “a religion of peace.” Islam makes murder respectable by blaming their vicious barbarism on Israel. Even though this is 2015, it sure feels like we’re living Orwell’s1984.

The Charlie Hebdo Hypocrisy

Dead_rabbiThe Charlie Hebdbo massacre by Islamic jihadists was horrific. So was the massacre at the kosher market that , and the murders of the rabbi and three children in Toulouse, France in 2012. How about the Fogel family who were all slaughtered in their beds, the three young men kidnapped and then executed, and the bloodbath of the five rabbis praying at synagogue in Har Nof? On that day the brutal savages  created five widows and 24 orphans. All of these terrible and nefarious murders were perpetrated by people with one thing in common. They were Muslim jihadists.

An editor of a popular Jewish newspaper writes that there hasn’t been this much Jewish emigration from France since World War II. Jews in France are scared and why shouldn’t they be? France has the dishonor of having many Nazi collaborators during WWII and  shipping many Jews  to concentration camps. After this latest evil scenario, with dead bodies scattered around  Paris and the discovery that a Jewish school was an earlier target, authorities closed the Great Synagogue  but left the Mosque open. That may sound cautious and caring, but the Jews had to form minyans (prayer groups) hiding In fear, while the Muslims weren’t inconvenienced at all.

Mahmoud Abbas, the right hand man of terrorist leader, Yasser Arafat, marched in a prominent place arm in arm with leaders of the free world. This is the same Mahmoud Abbas, who enjoins his people to kill Jews. How insane is our world? This is the same man who gives out candy when Jewish babies are killed and celebrates the “martyrs” who murder Jews; however, it was Netanyahiu who they didn”t want

Cartoonists were murdered because they drew pictures of Mohammed and the world suddenly noticed. Immediately there was a hashtag #JesuisCharlieHebdo and millions of people converged on Paris to show solidarity for free speech and against terrorism. Leaders from all across the world smugly joined together arm-in -arm , but nothing will change. Just like Europe collaborated with the Nazis, it Is doing the same with Islam.  At least Obama isn’t a hypocrite.  He showed the world exactly where he stands and validates what he wrote in his  book when he told a Muslim immigrant group, “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – See more at: http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2008/02/i-will-stand-wi.html#sthash.it7CFigY.dpuf .  It’s time to look at the world the wy it is, not the way we want it to be. je-suis-juif-e1420980995698
