Yom HaShoah 5770

Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. From the time of the ascension of the Nazi regime in 1933 until its defeat in 1945, 5 million Roma, homosexuals, political dissidents, physically handicapped, and others were murdered. Six million Jews were exterminated in the single largest act of genocide in the modern era (the genocide of North and South America's indigenous peoples being the only one larger).

Centuries old Jewish communities were destroyed. Vast stores of Jewish learning were erased. Our possessions were methodically and painstakingly assembled and stored by the Nazis to be displayed in their museum of extinct races. One third of world Jewry was wiped away, this following nearly 2000 years of unremitting displacement, persecution, and massacre. The governments of the United States, Great Britain, and France were complicit in the Nazi genocide.

In 1948, the 2000 year old dream of reestablishing our sovereignty in the Land of Israel was realized when Israel declared its independence. In its fight to defend its new found independence against the hostile Arab nations that surround her, another 6000 Jews died, and yet Israel survived. Not one country sent soldiers to help defend the Jewish state, in spite of the world's supposed shock and horror in 1945 when the Allies and Soviet Union finally put a stop to death factories that they silently ignored throughtout World War II. The world was more than fine with again standing on the sidelines while the Arabs attempted to enact another genocide in Israel just three years after the end of Holocaust.

Today these same governments that did nothing and said nothing in the 30's and 40's, sit idly by while Iran methodically works to produce nuclear weapons with which it intends to destroy Israel. The president of the United States openly drags his feet and appeases Iran, and attempts to stand as an obstacle against Israel taking military action to stop the mechanics of the second Holocaust that would potentially destroy more than half of the world's remaining Jews. And while this goes on with the world's complicity, these same governments bemoan the treatment of "Palestinians" by Israel. Western intellectuals lead grotesque ceremonies like "Israel Apartheid Week" in which Israel is compared to Nazi Germany, and Azza to the Warsaw Ghetto.

Look at the images in the videos above. Then look at the water fat and well fed Arabs who march in the streets with AK-47s, who dress their children in fake homicide bomb vests and tell me Azza is a ghetto. Azza is an incubator of Jewish death that the world wails for, while it sits idly by as rockets fall on Jewish communities.

The lesson of the Holocaust for the Jew is not about man's inhumanity to man. The lesson is that the world will not only choose not defend us, they will ignore or join the efforts of those who actively seek our destruction.

The lesson of the Holocaust is that the Jewish people did not take to heart its Torah which teaches: Im ba l'hargekha, hashkem l'hargo. If someone is coming to kill you, rise up and kill them first.

Why should the Jew expect the people of the world, who have actively spent the last 2000 years attempting to exterminate us, to suddenly stand up and help us? While an endless stream of leaders and diplomats show up at Auschwitz to say the meaningless phrase "Never again," over and over like a bunch of brainless zombies, they are doing nothing to prevent it from happening again, and openly arm, finance, and support those who call for the destruction of Israel.

The resident of the White House demands Jews stop building homes. Not just Jewish homes, but the homes of religious Jews, the fastest growing population in the Middle East. What is this demand really? It is a call for Jewish birth control. It is a demand that Jews stop having babies. It is a demand that Jews stop living. And so it should come as no surprise to Jews that this man is allowing Iran to get the bomb. It should come as no surprise that he will not order the United States military to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, despite the fact that the very Arabs he bows down to are demanding he do so. If this is a man who does not want Jews to be born, then what does he care if they die?

In the face rising Jew Hate, calls by the nations of the world for Israel to commit suicide, and Iran's relentless efforts to develop the weapons necessary to destroy the Jewish homeland, there is no alternative than to tell the world to go to hell.

We have but one Shield, one Rock, one Redeemer, and it is not the United States.
