For me over the past few months, even years, it has been a frightening deja vu. Why do I feel in the very marrow of my bones a chill, a knowing that I, we, have been here before and we really did not want nor expect to have to relive this. Again and again over the centuries and nothing changes other than for the worst in growth and impact, in organization and planning of years and fear of what lays ahead? Unspoken, yet thundering is the voice from within that tells us be afraid. Be very much afraid. Understand what we are facing. Those determined evil people with most malicious and devil inspired plans. Long in the planning, at an ever-growing pace and blessed by the Devil himself.
Genetic trauma. Could it be that which scientists and researchers have proffered as a respectable theory in human nature? Whether by nature or nurture, innate or absorbed, it makes no difference does it. Neither in the long run nor the short. It is a realization that Evil always has a presence among us and lest we think that the human race has outgrown these barbaric behaviors, no, it has not.
It has in fact grown in the sophistication of cover up of lies and excuses containing nary a bit of truth other than the truth of Hate eternal.
Precaution to my readers - think not that this is a tired statement. A tired posting and nor does it contain any pertinent information to you and yours. You might think it only refers to the horror, the hate, the renewed, ever intense violence directed at the Jewish People, or possibly another group, but certainly not you and yours. It is most clever and has the accursed ability to swarm people with the best of intentions in mind. People who will find a good side anywhere there is not,
and in their blindness, in their naivety, they go along and get along. Or, simply turn aside and pass it off as a momentary blip in the advancement of humanity.
Surely, we are better than that!
Sadly, we are not and even have the capacity to do worse.
Even more worrisome is that this tide of hate has spread through throughout the world into welcoming arms and make no mistake about it; None of it is spontaneous. It is all organized by professionals, by haters, by those who would see every Jew and every supporter of Jewry, every believer in all that the Jewish people have given to the world, simply gone. As if Jews need to have a reason why they should be allowed to live, to exist among the people of the rest of the world.
On the very eve of Kristallnacht, the Pogrom in the streets of German cities during the day and night, when synagogues in Germany were broken, the glass scattered in the streets like crystal, The Holy Scrolls of Torah burned. People burned and a massive shipment of German Jewish men were sent to Dachau, on the anniversary this is what we have as modern day remembrances.
On its very Eve we have 200,000 people in Amsterdam wearing red, protesting against the fact of Israel's existence. That it has no right to exist. Unworthy of having their own homeland, Then very homeland. Which has provided haven and refuge for so much of the Jewry of the world post WWII continue to be persecuted, prosecuted and slain.
In the streets of Philadelphia there is to be a boycott of Jewish property, businesses, stores and who knows whrn that perennial sparking fire will ignite and horrors will ensue. If not then, it is only a matter of time. When openly biasesd antisemitic JewHating people are voted into office who are not shamefaced at all, nor reticent at all, to spout their hatred, what are we, the Jews of the USA, the Jews of the world supposed to think? To fear.
TO KNOW.
In fact, it is not if, but when?
yesterday today tomorrow
And yet we survive and even thrive
as the Lord our G-d, is with us.
Always and forever.
Am Yisroel Chai!!
