Reality and truth. Wishful thinking and brutal reality. Eternal truths and lies of time. All of this and more, even as one thing remains the same. History. It tells the story. Even if rewritten, the truth cannot be hidden forever. It remains, hiding, boding its time for the moment to resurface and expose the truth and the falsehoods of reality to the world. Even as there are those who continue their efforts to prevent any truth, any enlightenment, to take place, gathers adherents and power. Too often a long time in coming, history will repeat itself - in the evil and the good, albeit the good is fought and denied.
History itself is not to blame, but rather the people - us. We make history We allow ugliness to rise to the surface and predominate. We allow evil ugly trends of hate and violence and mayhem to grow, to become fashionable, the thing to do. We allow winds of war and hatred to blow catastrophic gales throughout the world, even as opposition inevitably weakens and too often gives up the battle, cedes victory to these forces of Evil, at least until regrouping is possible. Those who oppose are weak in this eternal battle for the soul of Man, the gains miniscule and the backwards steps giant and discouraging.
From whence comes this never-ending power of Evil and its inevitable return. The answer is not difficult to discern. It is simple, right before our eyes. Alive in our hearts. It is us. We - the people. The sooner we realize that, accept the truth of that, the sooner we can get down to the nitty gritty and find a permanent way to shut down this ever reoccurring ugly vicious, dangerous cycle of history. It is a cancer of the soul, a blackness of the heart and mind which we refuse to fight. We cede victory and then must live with the terrible consequences. And here we are again.
I understand this tiredness for I too am tired. It is painful. It is the beating of one's head against the wall which refuses to even have a little dent. However, each and every small voice is a critical necessity if we are ever to put up an impenetrable wall. and halt this cycle forever. For that to happen, we must understand and internalize the truth of Evil. It exists. It is palpable. It is powerful. It is attractive, alluring. and people fall into its honey trap. There they are trapped, along with an increasingly perverse foundation for that society. We are presently in such a cycle. Look around. See the truth as much as we would rather deny it.
Extremism rules. inquiry, frankly, there is no difference in the results from the extreme right or the extreme left. where neither is strong enough to impose its own control. We then have civil war. bloodying the ground of that nation. These are one which never seemed to end till they never accomplished their goals. Authoritarian rulers rise to the surface. and the rights of all are trampled into the ground, their resurrection questionable at best.
And the Hate. That Hate always aboil in the blood of Mankind. It just never seems to go away. My nation, my people are always the initial and forever go to targets. But history reminds us that this Hate continues on to devour all before it, even the original purveyors of that Hate There is no victory. within this atmosphere of Hate. There is no room for it. There is only an insatiable thirst for blood. For havoc and mayhem. For horror and terror.
The world knows well what has been happening in Amsterdam. The world knew that it had to happen. All one had to do was watch the world as the blood began to boil over, as the hatred spilled over the top. With nobody there to turn down the heat. Or even wishing to do so. Nobody there to speak up strongly, loudly, with voices and balls of brass. No! One huge echoing empty void. Even the hypocritical voices condoning. the “Jew hunt” of Amsterdam are weak pathetic. lacking any truth and honesty. Once again, the Jews of Europe are suffering under pogroms. And that was a pogrom. It cannot be denied. Once again, the Jews of Europe are being beaten, literally, figuratively, physically, emotionally, mentally and legally.
Once again, Jews are to be the Pariahs and Scapegoats of the world and if one thinks the governments will oppose this vigorously, think again. They are willing and compliant in this hate and will grow tired of the costs, the energy diverted, the bother of it all, and will let the die fall where they may, and let loose the Dogs of War accompanied by the thunderous hooves of the Horses and Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
As for we Jews living in the so called "western nations" be it America, Australia, England, France, - it can and is happening right now. The words and actions of the 'peaceful' demonstrators chanting of hate and extermination. No consequences of any seriousness or duration. Calling Jew Haters fighters for justice and rights -just not for us. We have allowed violence and attacks at 'peaceful' protests. Released any few arrested. and shouted for more blood, more dehumanization of Jews, shrieks calling for the demise forever of Israel, the severing of any historical imperative and truth of connection of Jews. Permanente denial of historical truth.
What to do? Where to go? Kishinev Kiev Kielce Ukraine, the Pale of Settlement, Ancient homelands of the Middle East the New World the Old World York Paris Vichy, France the Baltic Republics.
Where? Tell me where for I cannot find an atlas or globe or any geographical notation where it states stated “here be safety for Jews"
Nowhere. Anywhere.
World, even as the Lord called out to Adam, asking where he was, so too is the Lord of His People calling out to you.
WHERE ARE YOU?
