National Socialists, Democratic Socialists: \u201cI am not anti-Jewish, I am just anti-Israel\u201d said no anti-Semite ever. I was not a Nazi. Unfortunately \u201cNever Again!\u201d is now.<br \/>\nAnd if it&#8217;s not in your face, it&#8217;s in the queer ideology (Chairman Mao would be so proud) that has infected almost every part of our system, that seeks to undermine humanity, goodness and G-d. It&#8217;s in every \u201ccrisis\u201d used to curtail another right, it comes in through our own suicidal empathy.<br \/>\nI am sorry for your pain, but I am also sorry that it wasn&#8217;t real to you until it came this close to home.<br \/>\nFeel sorry too for every Jew that married out, that chose not to have kids to save the planet, or remain ever Peter Pan, who celebrated every form of deviance other than what the Torah requires, who waited until it was too late.<br \/>\nFeel angry at all the dumb-ass Jews who gave us every damned wrong headed idea. As Orwell warned \u201cThere are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.\u201d So often a Jew is the \u201cintelligent person.\u201d<br \/>\nIf you want to honor their memory, if you want to save what is left, then be not silent. I invite you to dedicate a song\/\u200bpresentation\/\u200bproduction\/\u200bcreation for each of the people who died on October 7, then maybe another for each killing pit, if you can count them, then each camp or detention center, and if that isn&#8217;t enough, one for each day the killing camps were open. That should probably carry you to the end of your career. If it doesn&#8217;t cry a tear for every one of the 48,844 terror attacks just since 9\/11.<br \/>\nSorry, I think I am in a little bit of a mood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seen on Facebook: I grew up thinking no one in my family died in The Holocaust &#8211; in which 60% of all European Jews were murdered.
