As we were growing up, the realization of how the Nazis methodically targeted and killed Jews left us aghast. Not just at the moral depravity of it all, but also at the fact that, except for a few, like Oskar Schindler and the Ten Boom family, such atrocities were allowed to take place.
Looking back, we comprehend that signs of impending doom for the Jews were visible early on, even before Adolf Hitler officially took power in January 1933. There was already a structured effort to blame Jews for various global issues, a propaganda movement aimed at dehumanizing them, boycotts against Jewish businesses, numerous false claims, scapegoating, and countless acts of what we now recognize as “hate crimes.”
As high schoolers, we often pondered how it was possible for the so-called good people to overlook these early warning signs and fail to put an end to the forthcoming horrors—approximately six million souls lost in Death Camps. And then came our imagination… the moment we envisioned ourselves as heroes in this narrative.
If I could travel back in time, we mused, I would not let this happen. I would stand up for the Jews. I would confront the Brownshirts. I would rally efforts to free the Death Camps. I would even… eliminate Baby Hitler.
Well, it seems like here’s a chance…
So, where are you now? Israel is a small entity in the Middle East, surrounded by animosity, and this hatred is increasingly gaining traction right here at home. No longer are young men in brown shirts dominating the streets to intimidate Jews. Instead, it’s individuals with green and purple hair, alongside their professors at our universities, who are proliferating this trepidation and hatred.
Then we encounter the blood libel suggesting that Israel is committing “genocide,” a blatant fabrication designed solely to justify violence against Jews.
Genocide? Really?
Famine?
The population in Gaza was 1.3 million in 2006. Today, it stands at 2.1 million.
Moreover, the benign term “Zionism” has been twisted into a derogatory concept. It’s perplexing, really; “Zionism” merely signifies Jews reclaiming their historic homeland, a place known as Israel, which has belonged to them since ancient times. As Bill Maher aptly put it, in Israel, Jews are akin to the “Indians.”
Another blood libel against Israel is painting it as an ethno-state, despite Arabs constituting about 22 percent of its population. The reality is that Israel covers less than one-half of one percent of the Middle East, while the remaining 99.5 percent consists of various Arab, Persian, and other ethnic states where, with very few exceptions, Jews find little welcome. Christians also face substantial difficulties in many regions of the Middle East—unlike in Israel.
The current BDS movement can be seen as a boycott against Jews, can’t it?
Reported hate crimes targeting Jews have reached new heights in America and globally.
The Nazis were a legitimate political faction in Germany, focused on the scapegoating and dehumanization of Jews.
Now, here in America, the Democrat Party operates as a legitimate political group that seems willing to gain power at any cost – even if it means tolerating individuals with Nazi tattoos, allowing Islamists to rise in power while openly scapegoat and dehumanize Jews. There’s even a growing base of voters who disguise their alignment with Islamic extremists in pleasant-sounding rhetoric.
America’s corporate media, the elite of the elite, have disseminated blood libels unseen even in 1933.
Furthermore, we’ve seen media distort the atrocities of October 7, wherein Iran-backed Hamas specifically targeted 1,200 innocent people for horrific acts—transforming this into a narrative suggesting that Israel somehow brought it upon itself.
During all this, the blood libels keep flowing, even as Israel tries hard—more than any other civilization in history—to avoid civilian casualties, all while providing tons of food to the same Gazans who cheered the events of October 7.
The American entertainment industry has also become embroiled in a relentless campaign to propagate these blood libels. It seems today that you either denounce Jews or risk jeopardizing your career.
In Democratic circles, along with Hollywood and the media, many left-leaning Jews have responded like good quislings: with a silence masked by the falsehood that such horrific events cannot recur. They rationalize that the support from the Bad Orange Man for Israel is somehow worse than supporting Hamas, I mean, Palestine; Hasan Piker is a fine example here.
Where’s Steven Spielberg?
Where’s Chuck Schumer?
Where’s Jake Tapper?
Where’s Jeffrey Katzenberg?
Where’s Josh Shapiro?
Where’s Ezra Klein?
They all stand by a political party that has embraced individuals with Nazi tattoos and that aligns with this group; a party seemingly eager for Iran to surpass both the U.S. and Israel—the same Iran responsible for the October 7 slaughters.
Democrats, the mainstream media, and Hollywood possess the power to counter this rising acceptance of antisemitism, to swiftly eliminate it with the same vigor they applied to the “Very Fine People” fabrication. Yet, they have chosen not to. It’s a conscious choice.
In every sense, with the exception of a literal one, Baby Hitler has arrived on our shores, offering those who once fantasized about stepping back into time a chance to act and demonstrate their mettle. So far, however, their aspirations of heroism, and all the sentiment around “Punch a Nazi,” and endless displays of virtue regarding tolerance, along with self-serving compassion for minorities, have proven to be blatant lies.
