Since Marx and Engels issued their Communist Manifesto in 1848, communism has swept across the globe, leaving death and misery in its wake.  The fundamental message of communism is that the government can do things better than the private sector.  Sound familiar?  Stalin’s 5 Year Plans and purges killed millions in Russia.  Eastern Europe was enslaved for half a century.  Once the Soviet Union fell, the first thing they did was reject communism.  In China, Mao’s management of farms and industry in the Cultural Revolution, killed untold millions, and the tyranny continues to this day.  Closer to home, Cuba’s dedication to communism has produced a society in which ownership of a ’57 Chevy is a mark of prosperity, while thousands take to rafts trying to escape Cuban prosperity.  You’d think that, as intelligent people,  Americans would be able to learn from the bitter lessons of the failed societies that have embraced communism, but you’d be wrong.  A surprising number of people right here support, or at least say they support, Marxist principles.  The Communist Manifesto had a number of goals, many of which we’ve adopted, or are being pushed by the Left:  1. Abolition of  private property. 2. A heavy graduated income tax.  (Got it).
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (See Biden’s tax plan).
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (You can’t take it with you, whether you’re coming or going).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State. (FANNIE MAE, FREDDIE MAC, Federal takeover of all school loans).   6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.  (Leftists control social media, push mass transit, and want to outlaw gasoline engines).   7. State ownership of businesses.
8. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (Worked great in China).  9. Gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. (Federal control over zoning, and shipment of illegal aliens throughout the country).  10. Free education for all children in public schools. (opposition to charter schools and home schooling).  In the past year, it looked like Marxists were  gaining control of our government.  AOC and the rest of the Squad wreak havoc over the House of Representatives.  Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden has become the puppet of the Left, with a radical Cabinet.  Marxist BLM and Antifa were permitted to run amok.  Critical Race Theory indoctrination began in schools and businesses.  Things looked bleak, but lately there’s cause for hope.  Thinking Americans can stand only so much Marxist nonsense before they fight back.  Around the country, people of good will, from all walks of life and all backgrounds are standing up to local school boards, telling them they won’t accept Marxist BLM inspired Critical Race Theory brainwashing of our their children.  An outraged African-American man in Illinois blasted his school board’s Critical Race Theory agenda.  “Critical Race Theory is pretty much going to be teaching kids how to hate each other.” “You’re gonna deliberately teach kids, ‘This white kid right here’s got it better than you because he’s white’? You’re gonna purposely tell a white kid, ‘Oh, the black people are all down and suppressed’?” “How do I have two medical degrees if I’m sitting here oppressed?” He explained hard work is the key to success no matter a person’s race.  Amen.  In Carmel, N.Y., Tatiana, blasted the school board’s poisoning of students’ minds with a woke, racist curriculum.  “I think the Board of Education and those sitting on the panels are thieves.  I think they’re liars and have committed treason against our children.” “Stop indoctrinating our children.  Stop teaching our children to hate the police.  Stop teaching our children that if they don’t agree with the LGBTQ community that they’re homophobic.” Tatiana dared to utter an inconvenient truth, “You work for me.  I don’t work for you.  You have a duty, we are entrusting our children to you.”  “You’re emotionally abusing our children and mentally abusing them.”  “You’re demoralizing them by teaching them Communist values!  This is still America.”  When a board member suggested, “this is not a peaceful discussion,” Tatiana struck back with an example even a Leftist should understand, “No, that’s your opinion, see, here we go again.  This is peaceful.  To me, this is peaceful.  I’m not burning, looting, and murdering.  This is peaceful.”  Or this, from an African-American woman in Virginia, who lectured her school board,  “Critical Race Theory is not a ‘nice dialogue,’ it was a tactic that was used by Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan on slavery many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we could not think for ourselves.  CRT is racist; it is abusive; it discriminates against one’s color.”  “Let me educate you:  An honest dialogue does not oppress.  An honest dialogue does not implement hatred and injustice; it’s to communicate without deceiving people.  Today we don’t need your agreement.  We want action and a backbone for what we ask for today:  to ban CRT.”  “We don’t want your political advertisement to divide our children or belittle them.  Think twice before you indoctrinate such racist theories.  You cannot tell me what is or is not racist.  Look at me.  I had to come down here today to tell you to your face that we are coming together and we are strong.  This will not be the last greet-and-meet.”  Or this Chinese immigrant, who escaped Mao’s Cultural Revolution, “I’ve been very alarmed by what’s going on in our schools.  You are now training our children to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history.  Growing up in Mao’s China, all of this seems very familiar.  The Communist regime used the same critical theory to divide people; the only difference is they used class instead of race.” “During the Cultural Revolution, I witnessed students and teachers turn against each other.” “We changed school names to be politically correct.  We were taught to denounce our heritage.  The Red Guards destroyed anything that is not Communist:  old statues, books, and anything else.” “This is, indeed, the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.  Critical Race Theory has its roots in cultural Marxism.  It should have no place in our schools.”  These are prophetic words from a person who experienced Marxist tyranny firsthand and knows it when she sees it.  We must reject Marxist teachings in favor of an American Manifesto.  “We respect our Constitution.  We enforce our laws.  We are free to think as we see fit, worship as we see fit, speak as we see fit, and dissent when it suits us.  We respect all among us, but we bow to no group and to no doctrine.”

In his March 1933 inaugural speech, F.D.R. famously told America “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”  F.D.R. was what we would now call a Progressive.  He was responsible for the expansion of the federal government which has resulted in the unconstitutional federal domination of the States from which we currently suffer.  F.D.R. was the champion of Big Government, at a time when one could argue there was a need for more government intervention in our lives – the Great Depression.  At his second inaugural, F.D.R. spoke of a nation in which privation was common, “I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”  The point is that, like F.D.R. or not, in the 1930’s he wasn’t wrong.  90 years after F.D.R., the problem with Democrats, or more to the point, Progressives, is that they fail to recognize progress.  Democrats are still supporting programs designed to relieve conditions that the New Deal and Great Society programs already addressed.  Democrats are still running as F.D.R. government expansionists, they just changed the motto, “The only thing we have to sell is fear itself.”  Think about it.  The Left has no policies.  The Left isn’t “for” anything.  All the Left has is a list of the things they’re against, and the things that want you to fear.  Engendering fear comes right out of their playbook.  Rahm Emanuel famously advised Democrats never to let a crisis go to waste.  Like the 2015 movie, their brand is crisis.  It has to be.  The Woke Left crazies make up about 20% of the electorate.  The programs they want can’t be enacted if times are good.  Ergo, everything has to be a crisis.  Everything has to be “an existential threat.”  Sound familiar.  It’s all part of the plan.  That’s why the social media sites have to cancel dissent.  That’s why we have to be told there’s only one side to every story.  There can’t be a debate, because the Woke wish list can’t stand up in the light of day.  Sunlight is the best disinfectant, that’s why Leftists have to keep pulling down the shades.  Climate change, you may have heard, is an existential threat.  For how many years have they been telling us we only have 12 years to fix the problem?  Spoiler alert – in 1970, at the first Earth Day, “experts” predicted world-wide famine by the year 2000 because increased nitrogen in the atmosphere would render all farmland unusable.  I shit you not, and we’re still here.  Today’s remedy for climate change is deindustrialization.  There are groups that are seriously advocating shutting down one-third of our industrial production to reverse climate change.  Just us.  China and Russia and India will keep on producing.  The Green New Deal is crazy, but we have no choice, it’s a crisis.  Race relations are the same story.  We are told, and many young people believe, that racism is worse today than ever before.  We are told, by the FBI no less (and there is no less), that the greatest terrorist threat we face is from white supremecist groups.  Really?  Homicides and other violent crimes are up 30, 40, 50% in the past two years.  Dozens of black men, women and children are shot and killed every day, by black perpetrators.  Antifa and BLM are in the streets fomenting assault, arson and looting.   Islamic terrorists are still with us.  And white supremecists are the greatest threat?  Look, I have an open mind.  Somebody please prove me wrong.  I’m willing to listen.  Somebody, please give me two examples of lives being lost to white supremecists.  White supremecists exist, to be sure, they bear watching.  If they violate the law they need to be prosecuted.  They’re not our greatest threat, but they are convenient scapegoats.  That’s their role.  The Left loves to create a straw man for people to fear and hate.  It keeps the rabble from noticing that the Democrats are politically and intellectually bankrupt.   It’s not a coincidence that our educational system stopped teaching history and began indoctrinating our kids with Woke claptrap.  In 2005, historian David McCollough warned that we were producing generations of historical illiterates.  It wasn’t a mistake.  It was all part of the plan.  And it worked.  In an age when unlimited information is at our fingertips, most young people are blissfully ignorant of events that occurred before they were born.  We no longer have revisionist history, we have a pervasive and troubling ignorance of history.  But for ignorance, the Left couldn’t tell us poverty is worse than ever, racism is worse than ever, and the biggest lie, we need to spend more money.  It’s so bad that people, purportedly from the Left, are beginning to speak out against it.  Bill Maher is a Progressive who’s beginning to sound the alarm about the dangerous path Progressives have chosen to take.  He recently spoke against what he called, “progressophobia,”  a term which describes liberals and other progressive thinkers who are unable to perceive any forward movement in America on social and cultural issues.   Maher explained, “It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.”  He pointed out examples such as comedian Kevin Hart, who said, “You’re witnessing White power and White privilege at an all-time high.”  Maher asks, “Higher than a century ago — the year of the Tulsa race massacre?  Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged?  Higher than slavery?  And I mean actual slavery, not ‘Prince doesn’t like his record contract’ slavery.”  Bill Maher drove home his point graphically, “if you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote and more homophobic than when blow jobs were a felony, you have progressophobia and you should adjust your mask because its covering your eyes.”  Amen.  He also had advice for ignorant young people,  “Because here’s the thing, kids:  There actually was a world before you got here.  We date human events A.D. and B.C., but we need a new marker for Millennials and Gen-Z, ‘B.Y.’ – ‘Before You.’”  Amen again.  People of good will are beginning to fight back.  We have seen parents, disgusted by the attempts of Woke educators to brainwash their children, fighting back against schools and school boards.  That’s a start.  Unless we  stop selling fear, and start seeing truth, we’re through as a nation.

When Democrats won in November, by means fair or foul, and then somehow won the two Georgia Senate seats, they decided that they finally had a mandate to do whatever they wanted.  After all, they have a corrupt demented imbecile President who barely won, and who barely knows he’s alive.  They have a five seat majority in the House, and the Senate is split 50-50, permitting Cackling Kamala to break ties.  Surely, this overwhelming Blue Wave would permit Democrats to legislate to their Socialist heart’s content.  But no so fast.  The key piece of legislation on the Democrat wish list is H.R.1, euphemistically known as “The For the People Act.”  I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth saying again, Democrats, like all totalitarian despots, camouflage their true intentions by giving benign, or pleasant sounding names to proposals that are actually calculated to steal you blind while you’re not looking, e.g., The Affordable Care Act.  Any bill with the word “People” in it deserves special scrutiny.  When despots resort to pandering to “the people” they’re really up to no good.  In Soviet Russia, the People’s Commisariat for State Security sounded beneficial, but it was the NKGB, whose job it was to torture and kill people that Stalin and Lavrenty Beria didn’t like.  The Chinese Communists have the People’s Liberation Army, which in true Orwellian fashion, exists to oppress the people.  Ask the “people” in Tianamen Square in 1989 how liberated they were.  In Nazi Germany, People’s Courts existed for the purpose of condemning to death real and imangined enemies of Adolph Hitler, who were thereupon hung with paino wire.  So much for those people.  And now comes the Democrats’ crowning jewel, H.R. 1, “The For the People Act.”  A better name for it would be The Screw the People Act, because the only role despots envision for “the people,” is to shut up and do what they’re told.  According to the Heritage Foundation, H.R. 1 would federalize the election process, and impose unnecessary, unwise, and unconstitutional mandates on the States.   H.R. 1 would do a number of things, all of them bad for America.  Here are the lowlights:  usurp the authority of States to regulate voter registration and the voting process by forcing States to implement early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, and online voter registration; make fraud easier by denying election officials the time to verify voter eligibility; mandate 15 days of early voting; require states to automatically register all “individuals,” not just “citizens;” make it a crime for a state official to reject a voter registration application because the official believes the individual is ineligible to vote (in other words, it’s a crime to do your job); mandate no-fault absentee ballots, the tool of choice for vote thieves; mandate ballot harvesting; prohibit state officials from purging voter lists of ineligible voters (more than 30 million people move each year; they’ll be registered in more than one place); ban State voter ID laws (how would we identify a voter, we’ll ask his name, he’ll tell us – good enough); expand regulation and government censorship of campaigns and political activity and speech (We don’t need no stinking First Amendment); allow felons to vote; prohibit State legislatures from drawing Congressional Districts; authorize the IRS to engage in partisan activity by permitting it to consider the political  positions of nonprofit organizations; require court challenges to be brought in the D.C. Circuit, the challengers limited to only one lawyer; establish a “Commission to Protect Democratic Institutions” (Remember, if it sounds good, it’s bad)  that would threaten the independence of the judiciary by compelling judges to testify and justify their legal decisions, and subjecting them to political pressure and harassment.  This monstrosity violates Article I, section 4, Article II, section 1, the First and Fourteenth Amendments, and the spearation of powers doctrine, so of course, Democrats think it’s a great idea.  The problem is, not all Democrats are on board.  In the House, Crazy Nancy will, no doubt, crack the whip and get her caucus to rubber stamp it.  But in the Senate, two of the 50 Democrats say they won’t support the bill.  It’s sad that only two Democrats are honest enough, or more likely, are afraid enough of their constituents, to do the right thing, but Arizona’s Krysten Sinema and West Virginia’s Joe Manchin are it.  Manchin also is opposed to ending the Senate filibuster, you know, that procedure that Democrats now call “a remnant of Jim Crow, ” after they used it 314 times against President Trump.  Manchin explained, “It’s the wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together and unite our country, and I’m not supporting that because I think it would divide us more.  I don’t want to be in a country that’s divided any further.  Do we really want to live in an America where one Party can dictate and demand everything and anything it wants, whenever it wants?  I have always said, If I can’t go home and explain it, I can’t vote for it.”  Now, who could argue with that? Uh, Lefist Democrats, that’s who.  The Regressive Left is shocked, shocked, that Joe Manchin could have the audacity to oppose the Screw the People Act.  I mean, what purpose do Regressives serve other than to screw the people?  Outspoken Leftists have struck out at Manchin.  Jemele Hill, who was too crazy even for ESPN, excoriated Joe Manchin,
“Record number of black voters show up to save this democracy, only for white supremacy to be upheld by a cowardly, power-hungry white dude.”  At least now we get to the root of the problem, the problem with Manchin is, he’s too white.  Ever been to West Virginia, Jemele?  It doesn’t matter.  The Regressive Anthem seems to be “Race Uber Alles.”  N.Y.  Congressman Jamaal Bowman, (WHO?), who was elected last year, and is the only male member of “the Squad,” said  Manchin was doing “everything in his power to stop democracy.”  Maybe Jamaal has a different definition of “democracy.”  Judd Legum, co-founder of the ThinkProgress website, which is connected to Hillary bagman John Podesta, and is funded by George Soros and the Bill Gates Foundation, said Manchin’s reasons for opposing the Screw the People Act are “very strange.”  Consider that.  If you won’t vote for a divisive bill that harms America, which your constituents are dead set against, that’s “strange.”  A United States Senator who thinks for himself and doesn’t just do what he’s ordered to do is “strange.”  If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve no doubt noticed that Regressive Democrats also are strange.  It’s a good thing Joe Manchin is a Stranger in a Strange Land.

More than four months into the disaster that is the Biden presidency, it’s time to consider the mass psychosis responsible for inflicting this progressive (or is it regressive?) plague on America.  Recall that opposition to Trump was never really about policy.  Trump championed border security, a strong military, lower taxes, more American jobs, and an end to needless wars.  No opponent, from any Party, could come out against any of those things on principle.  So they had to make it personal.  It wasn’t Trump’s positions they objected to, it was his “tone.”  He was too crude, too rude, too inexperienced, and too disinterested to be President.  This also was subterfuge.  It wasn’t Trump’s tone that bothered them, it was his very presence.  The real problem the Resistance had with Trump was his connection to the people, and their understanding that, as a non-politician, he actually meant to do what he promised to do.  Understand, it’s perfectly acceptable for a politician to pretend to be a populist.  They’re happy to promise to “speak truth to power” as long as they have the power, because they know, once the election’s over they can go back to crooked business as usual.  Trump didn’t play that.  When he said he’d be the voice of the forgotten man, he really meant it.  That made him a threat to both sides.  In addition to Trump’s threat to the status quo, the resistance to Trump by Democrats had another dynamic.  They’d had eight years of the Chosen One, Il Duce Obama, and were anticipating having Hillary finish the job of destroying America.  Hillary’s defeat drove Democrats completely out of their minds.  Democrats who grew comfortable in D.C. working for the Duce were suddenly out of jobs.  Lobbyists who were licking their lips anticipating continued graft were suddenly confronted with a President who actually objected to selling America to the highest bidder.  China was their meal ticket, and Trump promised to stop Chinese economic abuse.  Inside the government, the Justice Department, FBI and CIA were more than a bit nervous, given that they had broken myriad laws spying on and trying to stop Trump, before and after the election.  All these elements played a role in the mental disease that was to become known as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).  The Corleone Family operated on the principle, “nothing personal, it’s just business,” but those afflicted with TDS said, “business be damned, this is personal.”  The Establishment is in the business of profiting from government.  For them, government is the only business that really matters.  When Calvin Coolidge proclaimed that the business of America is business, he was talking about the motivation of the people to produce, buy, sell, and prosper.  Today’s Establishment thinks the business of America is government, and it’s all about the ability of the entitled few to buy and sell America.  How else to explain what happened?  Democrats labeled Trump an existential threat to democracy.  Before the Chinese unleashed the Wuhan virus on the world, here’s what Trump, had accomplished.  Taxes had been reduced.  The incomes of lower income people were up dramatically.  Minorities and women enjoyed unprecedented job opportunities, and unemployment was so low there were more job openings than people to fill them.  China was subjected to tariffs.  We had new trade agreements with Canada and Mexico.  We were energy independent, and were exporting energy.  Companies stopped exporting our jobs.  Our NATO allies began to pay their shares of the cost of their security.  North Korea was in check.  Iran was at bay, and there was peace in the Middle East.  Our troops were coming home, and our military was strong.  Illegal border crossings diminished to the point that they were no longer a news item.  But so pervasive were the effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome, that we threw all these things away simply to rid ourselves of Donald Trump.  The Democrats nominated a corrupt demented imbecile as their candidate, not to fix what Trump had broken, because nothing was broken. (See above).  They nominated Biden as the anti-Trump, and they adopted a Marxian philosophy (Groucho, not Karl) – “Whatever Trump’s for, we’re against it.”  No matter what, and no matter what the cost.  Consider what sense that made.  Trump’s for low taxes?  We want them high.  He’s for energy independence?  Screw that, we’re for $5 gasoline, solar, wind and pond scum.  What, those things don’t work?  Too bad.  We hate Trump.  Then the Wuhan struck, which was a good thing for Democrats.  Biden adviser Anita Dunn certainly thought so, when she said of her boss, “COVID is the best thing that ever happened to him.”  Consider that.  More than 600,000 Americans have died of Covid, about the same number as during the Civil War, and to Democrats, it’s the best thing that ever happened.  Maybe the statistics are not just a coincidence, given that Democrats, now in power, are still fomenting a civil war.  To say the Trump Effect has unleashed madness is an understatement.  The drive to oppose all things Trump led Democrats to condemn and to outlaw useful Covid treatments that could have saved lives.  And politicizing the virus simply to oppose Trump merely exhibited their rampant schizophrenia.  Whatever Trump said had to be wrong.  When Trump stopped foreign flights, that was xenophobic.  They later said he didn’t act fast enough.  Follow the science?  When Fauci said Covid wasn’t a major threat, they believed him.  When Trump repeated Fauci’s opinion, he was lying to America.  When Trump shut down the economy, he was wrong.  When he wanted it opened he was wrong.  When Trump said we’d have a vaccine by the end of 2020, he was lying.  When the vaccine arrived on schedule, it was too late.  If you’re getting the impression that we’ve gone bat crap crazy, you’re right.  These are deranged people who preferred a deadly disease, riots, looting and mayhem to their President.  We now have an administration that got rid of Trump, but refuses to retain positive programs because they came from Trump.  We have exploding debt, the promise of higher taxes, the shutdown of oil pipelines cancelling thousands of good jobs, increasing crime in the streets, racial unrest, high energy prices, increasing inflation, war in the Middle East, China unleashed, North Korea firing missiles, the Russians permitting hackers to hold our vital industries for ransom, a bumbling senile President, a do nothing, know nothing Vice-President, and what is the Democrat priority?  Investigate Trump to see if he misfiled any business reports 25 years ago.  The country is on its way to Hell.  Law breakers are at large.  Law enforcement is in shackles.  We’re more divided than ever before, but it’s all good.  We got rid of Trump.

In the aftermath of the World War II Jewish Holocaust, Zionist groups exhorted the world to “Never Forget” the systematic genocide perpetuated by the Nazis.  Even in the years right after the War, with the Nuremberg trial testimony and pictures of the piles of bodies and the ovens fresh in our minds, there were anti-semitic deniers.  There were even Neo-Nazis marching in the streets in the 1970’s.  The haters have always been among us, but in the past, they were recognized as extremists, and their anti-semitic rantings were uniformly denounced by our public officials.  Today,we are faced with an alarming trend.  In the wake of the fighting in Gaza, fighting which it must be stressed was instigated by Hamas terrorists firing hundreds of rockets into Israeli communities, Leftists in and out of office are blaming Israel for being attacked, and there has been a great increase in violence against Jews.  In searching for a title for this piece, I considered and rejected “the New Antisemitism.”  Sadly there’s nothing new about this ugly conduct, as Jews have been persecuted for all of history.  I was reminded of a song written by 1960’s satirist Tom Lehrer, entitled National Brotherhood Week.  Some of the lyrics are, “the Catholics hate the Protestants, and the Protestants hate the Catholics, and the Hindus hate the Muslims, and everybody hates the Jews.”  He wasn’t wrong.  The roots of antisemitism may be traced to ancient Egypt, where Jews were enslaved.  An Egyptian origin is fitting, as we will see.  Jews were persecuted by the Roman Empire.  Islam appeared in the 7th Century.  In the beginning, relations were cordial.  One of   Mohammad’s wives was Jewish, but things soon deteriorated, leading to Muslim massacres of Jews.  In the 11th Century, there were Muslim pogroms in Spain.  The Catholic rulers Ferdinand and Isabella ran the Muslims out of Spain in the 15th Century, but for the Jews, conditions only got worse, as the Catholic Inquisition expelled, tortured and killed Jews.  Europe, in the Middle Ages was a hotbed of antisemitism, with Jews being persecuted in England and throughout Northern Europe.  There were anti-Jewish Crusades in Europe.  In the 11th Century, one pogrom killed 100,000 Jews in Germany.  Adolph Hitler didn’t invent antisemitism, he turned it into the law.  The Protestant Reformation afforded Jews no respite.  Martin Luther rejected many policies of the Roman Church, but he embraced antisemitism, calling for the permanent oppression and expulsion of Jews, and writing, “we are at fault in not slaying them.”  So much for Christian charity.  The perversions of the Nazis speak for themselves, and here’s where Egypt comes back into  the picture.  In 1928, Egyptian Hassan al-Banna created the Muslim Brotherhood.  Al-Banna was obsessed with the Nazis, and he incorporated into the Muslim Brotherhood an intense hatred of Jews, and a plan to eradicate all Jews in the Middle East.  Sound familiar?  The current Hamas terrorists are an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, and it was these murdering bastards who fired the rockets into Israel.  Naturally, the Israelis couldn’t tolerate the attacks, and the Israeli military carried out raids that have resulted in the killing of hundreds of Islamist terrorists.  By defending itself, Israel came under criticism from Jew-haters throughout the world.  There’s been violence against Jews in Europe.  America is no exception.  In the past two weeks, hundreds of Jews have been attacked in New York City, Los Angeles and south Florida.  Palestinian flag-waving rioters have accosted Jews, or suspected Jews, in the streets.  In California, crowds of men attacked diners asking, “Who’s Jewish?”  In New York, a Jewish man on his way to a pro-Israel rally was beaten and pepper-sprayed by a group of men hurling antisemitic slurs.  In southern Florida, men in an S.U.V. pelted a visiting Jewish family with garbage and shouted: “Free Palestine” and “We’re going to rape your daughter. We’re going to rape your wife.”  A Hasidic man was chased in Los Angeles by a carload of people waving Palestinian flags.  The social media platforms that banned such dangerous radicals as Donald Trump and Mike Lindell, are unconcerned by the daily rantings of “kill the Jews” coming out of Iran, or tens of thousands of antisemitic tweets such as, “have a happy Holocaust,” “Peace be upon Hitler,” and “Hitler was right.” These are shades of 1930’s Germany which should repel any thinking person.  If we had fully operating police forces in our country, the street violence wouldn’t be tolerated, but thanks the blatantly antisemitic Black Lives Matter terrorists, we don’t.  If we had reasonable, sensible elected leaders, such conduct wouldn’t be tolerated.  But we don’t.  We have AOC, decrying Israeli apartheid.  We have Ilhan Omar, saying support for Israel is just about Jewish money.  And we have a corrupt demented imbecile President demanding that the Israelis cease fire.  Fittingly, Prime Minister Netanyahu told Joe to go pound sand, and the Israelis mopped up hundreds of terrorists before a cease fire was agreed to.  That didn’t stop nit wit “celebrities” from denouncing an Israeli “genocide” of Palestinians.  And over what?  Palestinians just want their own State, right?  Wrong!  If that was the case, they’d already have one.  In 1947, UN Resolution 181 called for the creation of a Jewish state and an Arab state in the land which at that point was controlled by the British.  All the Arab countries opposed the resolution, voted against it, and promised to go to war to prevent its implementation.  Why?  They don’t support Palestinians, they just hate Jews.  In 2000, President Clinton hosted peace talks at Camp David between Palestine’s Yasir Arafat and Israel’s Ehud Barak.  The plan proposed a Palestinian State.  Israel agreed.  Arafat refused.  In 2008, the Israelis agreed to cede Israeli territory for the creation of a Palestinian State.  Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas turned it down.  They don’t want a State, they want a conflict leading to the killing of all Jews.  And what is the Biden State Department doing about this?  Secretary Blinken has informed Abbas that the U.S. will send an additional $75 million to the Palestinians, a/k/a Hamas.  That’s enough money to pay for more than 93,000 more rockets for the Palestinians to fire into Israel.  Funding terrorists is not a solution.  The truth about our 21st Century Age of instant information is that people today are more ignorant of the past than ever before.  We’d best never forget the horrors of the Holocaust.  If we deny the truth and condone violence as a form of “protest,” we may relive it.
