"Never Again" is Now "Again and Again"

Excerpts from Jon Gabriel at azcentral:  "Here we go again, shrugging off the warning signs of antisemitism and what comes next.  Opinion: To those who condone violence against Jews, people of good conscience must say with conviction, 'Never again.'"

"Eighty years ago, antisemites wanted Jews out of Europe. Today, they want them out of Israel. Only the outfits have changed, replacing brown shirts with black masks."  

"It’s no surprise college kids are the most prominent group of Hamas supporters. Bereft of life experience and accumulated wisdom, the Hitler-jugend often proved the most passionate supporters of the Third Reich. Their doting parents, many of whom never supported Dear Leader, often kept their silence, hoping it was just a phase that would pass. 

"But now we know how this story ends. Parents need their Hamas-jugend to wise up, and fast. Never again. 

"That phrase was a promise to future generations of Jews, but it was also a promise to their enemies. When they said those two words, they meant it."

"We must say 'never again,' again."

It may be too late this  time.  Unlike with Hitler and the Germans, this time it seems like the entire world hates and wants to kill us Jews (just look at the 24/7 news coverage, the social media propaganda, and the anti-Israel bias.  There's less support, and I think we're on our own.

Excerpts from David Harsanyi at The Federalist: "On Israel, Biden Picks Up Where Obama Left Off".

"Secretary of State Antony Blinken contends that Hamas would gain no 'greater' victory 'than allowing its brutality to send us down a path of terrorism and nihilism. We must not let it.'

"You can hear echoes of Barack Obama’s insufferable moral equivalencies imbued in that statement.

"The contention is a not-so-subtle warning to Israel, who will almost surely enter Gaza and try to dismantle the Hamas terror state — which has been indirectly and directly funded not only by Iran, the European Union, and the United Nations but also by the Obama and Biden administrations.

"The insinuation, of course, is that Israel needs to temper its inclination to engage in 'terrorism and nihilism.' It is a blood libel.

"It is not 'terrorism' to seek justice for the pregnant woman who had her baby cut from her body or the elderly couple who was burned alive. And eliminating those who committed Nazi-like atrocities against your citizens is no more nihilistic than tracking down Eichmann or demanding Emperor Hirohito unconditionally surrender.

"Yet, only days after the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, Biden was already lecturing Benjamin Netanyahu on how 'democracies like Israel and the United States are stronger and more secure when we act according to the rule of law.' The insinuation, again, is that there is something nefarious about winning a war against those who massacre your citizens."
