Crown Heights Riots 1991 Al Sharpton led
As a child I loved looking at the beautiful patterns formed by the pieces of glass in the kaleidoscope my father had given me I was fascinated by how different each pattern would be, even though the tiny pieces never changed. As I peruse the news and try to make sense of the unmitigated evil around the world I think of that kaleidoscope; because although the stories change, the players stay the same.
ISIS/ISIL is the new bad boy on the block. Just like Al Queda used the decapitation of Daniel Pearl to make its bones ( no pun intended), it uses savagery to get the world’s attention. The public looks on in horror and recognizes the primitive brutality We anxiously wait for our commander -in- chief to give the order to annihilate these animals. Instead, our esteemed commander-in-chief gives another speech as an anodyne to the horror we are witnessing. He ignores the slaughter of Christians, and the hundreds of Hamas tunnels dug to annihilate Israel, while emphasizing that Muslims are the biggest victims of their own hate filled murders. To top it off, he then goes out to play golf.
Southern Israel is bombarded with rockets and is politically pressured to do nothing except give its citizens a warning system so that they have fifteen seconds to scramble to safety. One adorable 4-year old, Daniel Tragerman, didn’t make it. The shrapnel from the mortar that killed him was fired from a Hamas stronghold strategically situated. Although Hamas has been declared a terrorist organization by our Congress, the same Congress is providing the new- combined PA-Hamas government with more than 400 million dollars.
The world yawns when it’s an innocent Jewish child murdered. Remember the slaughter of the Fogle family? A family, including a three month old, was slaughtered in its own home by Muslim animals. That jihadi terror attack was given very little media coverage, but bogus child deaths are blamed on Israel, in a unilateral war declared by its Islamic enemies.
The courageous Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,through their organization AFDI, held a religious rights rally in New York City. This was the first time that representaives of persecuted minorities came together to make their voices heard. Around 10,000 people filled Union Square. Instead of covering that rally, the media covered the race hustlers and agitators in Ferguson non-stop. The same players that subjected George Zimmerman to a daily “minute of hate” are playing the same roles in order to crucify white policeman, Darren Wilson.
No matter which way I turn the kaleidoscope these days, it keeps falling into recognizable patterns. The same players appear wearing different keffiyahs and neckties.
Suddenly we’re seeing the world through a prism of murderous hate, supplied by jihadists and their minions, Communists and anti- Semites around the world. This kaleidoscope of evil is swirling faster and faster and I’m afraid if we don’t stop its momentum it will carry us into oblivion.
