When those sworn to destroy you,Communism, Socialism,"Change you can Believe in" via their rabid salivating Mongrel Dog,Islam,take away your humanity, your God given Sanctity of Life, Created in His Image , If you are lucky this prayer is maybe all you have left, If you believe in God and his Son,Jesus Christ, then you are, despite the evils that may befall you are better off than most.

Lord, I come before You with a heavy heart. I feel so much and yet sometimes I feel nothing at all. I don't know where to turn, who to talk to, or how to deal with the things going on in my life. You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Protesters target cafe in Gaza row
By EVAN HARDING and DYLAN THORNE - The Southland Times
Stuff.co.nz Saturday, 17 January 2009

Protesters took to the streets of Invercargill yesterday, targeting a city cafe that is refusing to serve Israeli nationals.




About 15 placard-waving protesters stood opposite the Mevlana Cafe in Esk St at lunchtime chanting "Kiwis don't discriminate, Kiwis don't give in to hate". The words were aimed at cafe owners Mustafa and Joanne Tekinkaya, who ordered Israeli sisters Natalie Bennie and Tamara Shefa out of their cafe on Wednesday because of their nationality.

The Tekinkayas said they would not serve any Israelis in their cafe until Israel stopped killing innocent women and children on the Gaza Strip. The protesters said they were taking the peaceful protest action against the cafe owners because they had subjected the Israeli sisters to hate and discrimination, which was unfair, heavy-handed and unacceptable in New Zealand. Five hours after the protest action took place, Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said he was disappointed to read what had happened to the two Israeli women.

Responding to calls by the Israeli ambassador for the Government to take action, Mr McCully told The Southland Times people had very strong views on the situation in the Middle East. "But it's to be hoped that this sort of thing isn't to be imported into New Zealand." He would not answer further questions on the issue. One of the Esk St protesters, Anna Chilton, who is of Jewish descent, said the cafe owners had been heavy-handed towards the women. "It is inappropriate and embarrassing for Invercargill and New Zealand. It's a nationwide racist embarrassment," she said. Emily Beale, of Invercargill, said the cafe owners had brought the war to Invercargill. "We are against the war as well but don't bring it here, don't discriminate."

Standing outside the cafe, on the other side of the road from the protesters, Carl and Racheal Goldsmith and son Dante O'Kane were staging a protest of their own against Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Mrs Goldsmith, who said they were anti-war but not anti-Israel, said she had always wanted to protest against the conflict in Gaza but had needed a catalyst. She did not necessarily support the stance taken by the cafe owners in refusing to serve Israelis but said she supported their point. "I think it's a much wider issue (than discrimination)." She knew what it was like to lose a child, she said. "It doesn't matter what country it's in, it's still tragic."

Several people being served at the Mevlana Cafe said the cafe owner was standing up for what he believed in.
Robert Guyton, of Riverton, said Mr Tekinkaya felt passionately about the death of innocent women and children and "who could blame him?" He added he empathised with the two Israeli women ordered out of the cafe.

Cafe owner Mustafa Tekinkaya, a Turkish Muslim, has said throughout this week his actions had nothing to do with racism.
He declined to comment on the protest action taken against him, but pointed to a sign on his shop window, which said "Stop the War". "That's what it's all about," Mr Tekinkaya said.

Turkish Kebabs, also in Esk St, said on Wednesday it, too, would not serve Israelis until the war stopped. However, A La Turka, the Turkish Kebab House in Dee St, had a sign on its window yesterday saying everyone was welcome.

Its a Turkish thing:
Turkish Jewish community is in doubt

Mein Kampf sales soar in Turkey

Mein Kampf, the book Hitler wrote in prison before he rose to power in 1933, has become a bestseller in Turkey, provoking
consternation. The dreams of creating a master race are being snapped up by young Turks. Its publishers believe that more than 100,000 copies have been sold in the past two months. Its sudden appeal has alarmed Turkey's Jewish community and is causing concern in the EU. A German diplomat said its success "might not give the right signals" to Europeans in advance of Turkey's opening accession talks in October. Full story here at the Guardian

"Stop the War". "That's what it's all about," Mr Tekinkaya said.

Thousands rally for Israel world wide

Support for Israel grows world wide

Thousands world wide rally for Israel


Towards the end of this video you will see the "usual suspects" aka "Pious Peace Loving Muslims" and their supporters, engaged in their usual rants and acts of urban terrorism, their behavior is in stark contrast to the behavior of the Jews and their supporters, a classic case of Garbage IN Garbage OUT, clearly exposure to the "Holy Koran" does have some rather un Godly consequences, unbridled blood lusting savagery been just one.

Former British PM Tony Blair was reported as saying the other day, that he reads the Koran daily and can understand how Islam became such a civilizing influence on the world,based on the behavior,writings and verbalised threats to mankind by Islams finest, almost 24/7 clearly the definition of civilizing has changed, to this day surely it cannot be argued that the Islamic nations are leaders in the subjugation of men and women and the greatest oppressors of mankind leaving Communist / Socialist nations green with envy.

I believe that Mr Blair is now some sort of Middle Eastern liaison officer, (Islam apologist ?) perhaps that's why he is reading the Koran in an effort to get some street cred with Islamic Mobsters he has deal with

Muslim child abuse caught on camera

In any other culture or "Religious" organization what you are about to view, would, rightly be called Child Abuse and condemned by all,including those self appointed arse clowns down at the United Nations.
However they and the rest of the International Socialist movement are silent when this Child Abuse is perpetrated by their long standing Allys and soul mates in Islam, in this example of Islamic mental and physical child abuse,the leftist chic Islamic Terrorist's of choice,Hamas show the world what been a "good peace loving Muslim" is all about,after all as we are all constantly reminded,under threat of death,Islam is a
"Religion of Peace" and what better way to produce "Peace Loving" Muslims than to inculcate the following values and beliefs in the minds of Islamic children.

Hamas Childrens TV Islams maddest of Dogs on Parade

Hamas feeding kids a TV diet of hatred

Piers Akerman

ISRAEL’S Operation Cast Lead is unfolding like a familiar soap opera on the nightly news.

A series of Palestinian terrorists making blood-curdling threats against Israelis, a hail of missiles aimed at Israeli civilian targets, retaliatory strikes against the terrorists - who unfailingly seek to shelter behind innocent civilians - followed by scenes of weeping parents at crowded hospitals.

It is a plot line designed to soften the hardest heart. Unfortunately, those who buy the tear-jerking material unquestioningly are being duped.

No one, let alone a parent raised in a Western culture, could imagine placing children directly in harm’s way or encouraging impressionable infants to worship death but that is what the thugs and murderers responsible for the slaughter in Gaza have been doing.

It is an Islamist thing and Palestinian TV, often subsidised by the United Nations and European Union, is full of it.

In regular drama directed at kindergarten-aged children, children are taught that martyrdom is a beautiful state to aspire to, that suicide bombers are heroes and heroines and that even cartoon characters can sing and dance and murder their way into paradise.

Palestinian Media Watch and the Middle East Media Research Institute have been documenting this extraordinary perversion in recent years.

Among the scripts translated from Arabic is a cute story of the four-year-old daughter of female suicide bomber Reem Riyashi, shown singing to her dead mother and swearing to follow in her explosive footsteps. The video clip, aired on Hamas TV, depicts the little child asking her mother what she is carrying (it is explosives) and why she is putting on a hijab. All is made clear when the local newspaper (and headstone) reveals that mummy dearest was no soccer-mum but indeed a bomber-mum.

“Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands. Only now, I know what was more precious than us . . . may your steps be blessed,” the little girl sings.

“Send greetings to our Messenger (Mohammed) and tell him: ‘Duha loves you.’ My love will not be (merely) words. I am following Mummy in her steps.”

At which point she finds some explosives her bomb-loving mum left in a drawer and picks up a stick, happily singing: “Oh Mummy, Oh Mummy.”

Don’t think this is some aberration. Abhorrent agitprop is the currency of Palestinian children’s television programming, with even cartoon characters depicting martyrdom as a highly desirable goal.

In a regular show on Hamas TV early last year, giant rabbit “Assud” replaced his brother “Nahoul” - a giant bee who had died after failing to get into hospital in Egypt for surgery.

Assud told his young audience: “We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland. We will sacrifice our souls and everything we own for the homeland”, vowing also to “get rid of the Jews and eat them up”.

Regular viewers would recall Nahoul himself replaced “Farfour”, the Hamas mouse who was shown being “killed” on the show by an Israeli soldier in 2007.

Farfour Martyred Mouse



As the young female host Saraa Bahoum told her audience: “Yes, my dear children, we have lost our dearest friend Farfour. Farfour was martyred while defending his land, the land of his fathers and forefathers. He was martyred at the hand of criminals, the murderers, the murderers of innocent children who killed Iman Hijo, Muhammed Al-Dura and many others.”

The martyred mouse was more likely a victim of copyright lawyers who saw too close a resemblance to Disney’s Mickey Mouse but that wasn’t in the script.

The bee made that clear when he said: “I want to continue in the path of Farfour - the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, of the mujahidin. Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour. We will take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the killer of the prophets and of the innocent children, until we liberate Al-Aqsa from their impurity. We place our trust in Allah.”

Hamas Bee replaces Hamas Mouse



Indoctrinating children to become suicide bombers and human shields is a declared goal of Hamas, as Fathi Hamad, a representative of the terrorist organisation, proudly told the Palestine Authority Legislative Council last year.

“For the Palestinian people death became an industry at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel and the children excel,” Hamad said.

“Accordingly (Palestinians) created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: ‘We desire death as you desire life’.”

To ensure that the “death industry” doesn’t experience a slow-down, Hamas has placed its fighters in civilian homes, schools and hospitals.

It would be inhuman in the extreme not to feel sympathy for the children being used in this callous manner but it would be unintelligent not to ask why those who are exploiting them are not being called to account.

Islams Finest on Parade in Toronto

Islams Finest Terrorism supporters on Parade in Toronto Canada




This video is a few days old however the ending is in keeping with these neanderthal rock apes usual behavior when allowed to roam off the leash and says it all,in case you can't quiet understand their chanting, the "Religion of Peace" followers, peace mantra included the following:

"Hitler Didn't Do a Good Job"
"You are the product of monkeys,You are the product of pigs!
"You are the brothers of monkeys,You are the brothers of pigs,
You are the product of monkeys,You are the product of pigs!"

(2001) From Egypt’s second most influential newspaper, Al-Akhbar. “Our thanks go to the late Hitler,who wrought in advance, the vengeance of the Palestinians upon the most despicable villains on the face of the earth. However,we rebuke Hitler for the fact
that the vengeance was insufficient.”

"Hitler Didn't Do a Good Job" interesting chant coming from a follower of a Religion and cultural group that denies, the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews ever took place, so how many Jews do Muslims think Hitler should have slaughtered in world war two?

Mohammad Amin al-Husayni meeting with Adolf Hitler

Hitler's thoughts on Islam

“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers—already, you see, the world had fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing was Christianity!—then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism,that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone.
Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.
Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

-Hitler’s Table Talk, pg 667

The Nazi's were joined by the Muslims in WW 2 in their attempts to eliminate the Jewish people, the Nazi's are no longer necessary, the baton has been handed to their ally's the 1.5 billion strong army of the Religion of Peace, Islam.

In 1943, Amin Al Husseini founded and lead the Hanzar Division of Muslim Nazis. Here they are engaged in traditional Muslim prayer.
In 1943, Amin Al Husseini heads the Hanzar Division of Nazi Muslims. It was Hitler's largest SS Division and was responsible for the genocide of Serbians, Gypsies and Jews. It lies at the root of today's unrest in Serbia/Bosnia-Hercegovina/Croatia.

Hamas legalizes crucifixion in new "Palestinian" Sharia criminal code.

No wonder leftist progressives,Jew and Christian haters have such a love affair with Muslims and their most recent and infamous pin up boys and girls from Hamas.

You see whilst billions of the earths population were observing, acknowledging and reflecting on the Christmas message, these Darlings of the United Nations,western main stream media, western based photo journalist's,western based, socialist left "celebrity" millionaire activists,former US Presdents, singers,actors,actresses, Enviro Nazi's, Islamic terrorism apologists and facilitators, and all round "beautiful people",just what do you think Hamas was doing?
I know the first thing to instantly leap into your mind is that they were knitting quilts for the oppressed cold and hungry "Palestenians" Ok they probably were, but guess what they did after they did that, ok, ok I will tell you check it out....

"Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things,it legalizes crucifixion.

Hamas's endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time it renewed its jihad. Here, too, Hamas wanted to make sure that Christians didn't feel neglected as its fighters launched missiles at Jewish day care centers and schools. So on Wednesday, Hamas lobbed a mortar shell at the Erez crossing point into Israel just as a group of Gazan Christians were standing on line waiting to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas."

Full article here at : CAROLINE GLICK jpost.com

You see why so many "beautiful caring and sharing peace loving people" are supporting Hamas ? once you understand what Hamas / Islam stands for it's hard not to support them.
I have never seen a real crucifixion however I am sure it will take a bit longer than those "blink and you miss it" decapitations that Muslims are so proud of to the tune of allah ackbar!!! with that Lawrence of Arabia type music playing in the back ground.

Crucifixion is used extensively in the Sudan by Islamic Militiamen
I am sure Hamas has been emboldened by the support it receives from its fifth column fan clubs world wide, and correctly,can see no reason why anyone would object to it's latest addition,crucifixion, to it's list of Koran endorsed atrocities
given the success Islam has all over the world with the same and similar acts of depravity that fail to invoke censure.

Australia's Enviro Nazi's, peace & human rights activists, led by the aptly named Sen.Bob Brown (back door Bob?) of the Australian Greens Party, were reportedly outraged upon first hearing of the Hamas plans to crucify those who offend Islam, however after contacting the Lakemba based Hamas information office in Sydney Sen.Brown was assured that only recycled plantation grown timbers would be used to nail offenders to,and of course all nails would be recycled wherever possible.

Islamic Assassins and terrorists supporters rampage through Sydney streets .

Purpose Bred Islamic Assassins rampage through Sydney streets in a show of support for "Palestinian" Terrorists




Again note the desecration of the Australian Flag "Guilt by Association" with these Godless savages,this is the flag of a nation founded and made possible by all the Religious and cultural beliefs that these Godless swine have vowed to destroy the moment it is within their power to do so,these Assassins are in our country for one purpose and one purpose only to do what they and their parents and grand parents and those before them did to the various Islamic countries they ran away from, make Australia like the Islamic nations that spawned them,unfit for human habitation.

I have to admit it is comforting to know that Annie "
I used to be lunatic from the gracious days" & "I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind " Lennox, and Bianca Jagger and that doyen of social justice and all that is morally correct in the world "Mad Red" Ken Livingston are on the job doing whatever they can for the cause of peace,as if.


I noted that the medias coverage of the counter pro Israeli protest was at least the best part of 3 seconds.. I guess the media would rather see salivating Satan worshiping savages and their demonic off spring on the television screens of the nation delivering their Islamic leftist supported message of PEACE.
I know where the medias support lies in the "Palestinian cause" I wonder where they think average Australia's support lies? I mean EVEN the lefts media created celebrity & grade 4 Queensland public servant, and now Labor PM,Kevin 07, says he believes in God, or was that just an election line thrown to the "Working Families" ?

Muslim Terror supporters march for Ham arse in Australia

Islamic Terror Supporters march through Australian streets
(note the desecration of the Australian flag in the
opening graphic behind the SBS news reader)




Australians wake up !!! who let these Dogs in ?
Aussie support ? the SBS report says the purpose of these Muslim colonialists taking over our streets was a show of support for terrorist pals,and to demand that Australia and Australian's join them in their support of their Muslim co religionist's in Israel, why would you demand something you claim you already have ? according to the SBS headline, "Aussie Support" would indicate they already have the support of Australia /ns.
I saw no Australians in any of the footage shown that covered their show of support for terror.
Note the token,and now almost obligatory at these types of hate Israel hate Australia hate the west Multicultural carnivals, "Jew Hating" Jew, towards the end of the report, denouncing her land of birth.

Kristallnacht :Seventy years after

I post the following post in the interests of HUMANITY.

To not acknowledge and remember the following and similar acts of inhumanity committed by the Nazi's and others, against the Jewish people,then and now,is,in my opinion,an acknowledgement of the success of the collective Humanist lie, that has manifested the Socialist's "New Man",aka.the United Nations 21st Century, Godless savage who lies dormant in nations all over the world ready to strike "Jews" whenever their "Messiah's", " The One "declare them an obstacle to their objectives or the reason for the failure of their ability to deliver the perfect Socialist world of International Socialism.
Aldolf Hitler and President elect, Mr Barack Hussein Obama are both former and present leaders of Socialist political party's.
Both these men have enunciated their respect for the objectives of Islam and their right to know what is best for men and women the world over and what they do and do not want or need, both these men were proffered as the answer to their respective nations real and perceived economic and social problems,the world knows what the last great Socialist leader cost the world, President elect Mr Barack Obama has not said anything that would make anyone who knows of or can remember the works of the worlds last great Socialist sleep easy at night.... oh you think it's just whats left of the Jews who are gonna feel the Socialist heat / cleansing of the Messiah's "The One" new order ?
OKKKKK ENJOY!!! and start practicing how to bend over and start kissing your arse hole good bye.. Jew Catholic Anglican Protestant,Hindu,Mormon,Pacifist and Homosexual, Black,White man or woman you are worth nothing more than what the "Party" decides you are worth at any given hour or minute of the day.

"Socialism means equality of income or nothing...........Under Socialism you would

not be allowed to be poor.


You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught and employed whether you liked it

or not.


If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all

this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but while you were

permitted to live, you would have to live well."

KRISTALLNACHT


SEVENTY YEARS AFTER KRISTALLNACHT
THE WORLD REMAINS SILENT
Baruch Cohen

In loving memory of Malca z”l

“Comrades, we cannot allow this attack by international Jewry to go unchallenged!” This was said by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, on November 9, 1938, referring to the shooting of Ernst von Rath, a low-level Nazi diplomat in Paris, by Herschel Grynszpan, a young German Jew.November 9, 1938 was a defining moment for the Nazi regime, but in fact it was one day earlier in Munich that Kristallnacht, The Night of Broken Glass, was ordered. According to renowned historian Martin Gilbert, “at November 8, 1938, the first collective punitive measures were announced… All Jewish newspapers and magazines must cease publication forthwith. This ban cut off the Jews from their most accessible contact with their leadership.”

The official German view, that Kristallnacht represented a spontaneous response of angry Germans to a Jewish crime, was so fanciful that nobody believed it.

Local authorities across the country had compiled lists of Jewish-owned stores months before, and the names and addresses of Jewish men were kept on record. If ever there was a thoroughly organized crime, it was Kristallnacht.

At one minute to midnight on November 9, 1938, the Munich city fire department received its first call.

Demonstrators had smashed the display window of a textile business in the Augustenstrauss and set fire to the display.

The fire department’s records note the cause of fire as “anti-Jewish demonstration.” Three minutes later came the first major alarm: the city’s first synagogue was ablaze. The pogrom had begun.

Businesses and residences of Jews may be destroyed. The police have been directed to supervise the execution of this order…. Immediately upon receipt of this telegram, the police are to seize all archives from all synagogues and offices of Jewish community organizations. The archives are to be handed over to the SD security service.—SS Gruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, who would later chair the 1943 Wannsee Conference at which the Final Solution to the Jewish Question would be decided, in Kristallnacht: The Unleashing of the Holocaust by Anthony Read and David Fisher (New York: Peter Bedrick Books, 1989).

A Jewish businessman in Munich, J. Littner, wrote in his diary:
The circle of non-Jewish friends will be smaller day by day, we shall soon be living in an invisible ghetto—the mood for November 9 grows worse, massive penalties. We Jews now fear November 9, the great feast of the Nazi party. On the evening of the 9th, the radio broadcast called for the murdering of Jews…—Kristallnacht: The Unleashing of the Holocaust.

For the German people, Kristallnacht—in which at least 90 Jews were killed, and 1,000 synagogues destroyed—proved that the Nazi regime was willing and able to use any kind of terror necessary to carry out its outrageous racial policy.
As Gilbert explains, “[t]he Jewish community in Germany dated back 1000 years. Despite their enthusiastic patriotism, the Nazi regime portrayed them as disloyal parasites on the pure German national body.”

The story of the crime of Kristallnacht has since been told year after year. November 9, 1938 marked a tragic turning point for European Jewry. After that day, there was no safe place for Jews in Europe.

When I was 21, I survived the Bucharest Kristallnacht of January 21-23, 1941, an authentic copy of November 1938. In Bucharest alone 25 synagogues were vandalized, most razed to the ground. One hundred and thirty Jews were murdered, beaten, tortured or maimed. Jewish corpses were hung in the Bucharest slaughterhouse with tags reading “kosher meat.” I went there in search of my father.

The Romanian thugs had exceeded their German counterparts. And the world remained silent! In 1938, Joseph Goebbels was not stopped. The world was silent. Today, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is free to call for the destruction of the State of Israel, and the world is silent!

November 9, 1938 and January 21-23, 1941 are a few of history’s darkest moments. The calamity that occurred on those days was a warning sign pointing to the Holocaust. The world refused to see it.

We must remember Kristallnacht! The appalling resurgence of global antisemitism, the unopposed call—within the walls of the United Nations—to wipe out the State of Israel, must raise the entire world’s consciousness. History is repeating itself. The world must not remain silent again.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s unambiguous demand for the destruction of the State of Israel must not be ignored.

If “Never Again” is to have any meaning, Ahmadinejad’s genocidal ambitions must be stopped. Sadly, the United Nations is silent.

Kristallnacht was the warning that should have been heeded by the civilized world. Nonetheless, the world remained silent!

I call upon all decent persons, all peace-loving nations, to raise their voices, to stand up strongly against the perilous threat of a new Kristallnacht, to oppose, now, Iranian, Hezbollah and Hamas-style terrorism.

It is our solemn and urgent duty to remind the world that a new Kristallnacht against the ewish people must be taken off the agenda for ever and ever.

The world must NOT be silent!
DO NOT FORGET! ZACHOR!

Kristallnacht Remembered
Abraham Foxman
Jerusalem Post, November 5, 2008

I remember how a dozen years ago, a rash of arsons burned more than 30 Black churches, mostly in the Southern tier of the United States. In response, the Anti-Defamation League urged investigations by the Justice Department and published full-page ads in many of America’s major newspapers deploring these acts, asking for letters of support that we passed on to the victimized congregations. We also established a Rebuild the Churches Fund. The response across America was heartening.

As Jews, we felt a special kinship with the victims of these arsons, because we lived with the memory of Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass -- when ordinary Germans committed a so-called “spontaneous” pogrom against synagogues, Jewish shops, homes, hospitals, cemeteries, and against their fellow Jewish citizens. In response, the world was essentially silent.
Now, as we commemorate the 70th anniversary of that horrible and tragic event, some will regard it as ancient history. For some of you who lived through it, saw it, survived it, it was only just yesterday.

I was born after the event, so I must rely on the historians. The numbers may vary some, but no one doubts the overall picture, which is well documented. Throughout Germany and the recently annexed Austria, over 90 Jews were killed, others beaten and humiliated, some 30,000 male Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues were torched along with their Torah scrolls, Bibles, and prayer books, and some 7,000 Jewish shops and business were looted and destroyed.…

There was now no doubt that the Nazis were no longer content to simply strip Jews of their legal rights, and in the immediate aftermath, German and Austrian Jews, and watchful Jews everywhere, would learn that while many newspapers and government officials around the world would decry the violence and barbarity of Kristallnacht, few governments were prepared to act.…

It would, of course, be some time more before the Final Solution was enacted throughout Eastern Europe and all of the Reich. But already on November 9th Hitler told Göring that if war broke out, Germany “will first of all make sure of settling accounts with the Jews.”

The Evian Conference that the Roosevelt administration had organized four months before, bringing together delegates from 32 countries to discuss the exploding Jewish refugee crisis, gave Hitler ample evidence that the world’s democracies would not act to quell his thuggish actions against the Jews, for the delegates at Evian merely confirmed that none would liberalize their immigration quotas.

As in the infamous phrase used by the Swiss when they turned back fleeing Jews at their borders, the free world essentially said the boat is full.
There was no room for Jewish refugees. Kristallnacht barely changed that attitude. There was a brief outcry, and then there was silence. Let us remember and learn the lesson from that terrible silence.

ISRAEL’S UN ENVOY: DANGEROUS WORDS,
LIKE AHMADINEJAD’S, SPARKED THE HOLOCAUST

Ha’aretz, November 4 2008

“The gas chambers were not the starting point of the Holocaust, but rather the end. The Holocaust began with dangerous words uttered by people,” said Israel’s new United Nations Ambassador, Professor Gabriella Shalev, in a speech at the UN assembly on Tuesday. The assembly was discussing the UN’s 2009 work plan to commemorate the Holocaust, as presented by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

The UN program includes a long list of events to commemorate the Holocaust, within the framework of a historic resolution, passed three years ago. This year, the events marking 70 years since the Kristallnacht pogroms in Nazi Germany in 1938 have been the focus of the UN activity.

The Israeli Ambassador took advantage of the forum to warn and protest against recent inciting remarks that were made by Iranian President Ahmadinejad in his speech to the UN late September.

“Israel and the Jewish people are grateful to the UN for its decision to commemorate the Holocaust,” said Shalev. “But that’s not the end of it. We must learn the lessons of the Nazi genocide and recognize such threats during these times as well. In this very hall we still hear a country leader calling to terminate a country that is a member of the UN as well.”

The Ambassador addressed the delegation representatives saying “May I remind you that in this very place all member countries took a ‘never again’ oath, and it is therefore our duty not only to condemn such remarks, but to take firm and immediate action against a county whose leader says such despicable and dangerous things.”…

ANTI-SEMITISM IS ALIVE AND KICKING IN ROMANIA
Cellu Rozenberg
Ha’aretz, November 2 2008

Anyone in need of additional reminders of how much Romanians love the Jews could have found it in the recent destruction and desecration of some 200 graves in the great cemetery in Bucharest. Even though there are almost no Jews in Romania (their number is estimated at a mere few thousand, excluding Israelis who have gone there on business), anti-Semitism is nevertheless alive and kicking.

The graves that were destroyed and desecrated—a reminder of the large Jewish community, numbering some 800,000 people, half of which was destroyed in the Holocaust not by the Germans, but by Hitler’s loyal allies, the Romanians—give no rest to some Romanians. This is not the first time such things have happened in Romania, but everyone keeps quiet, as if this were merely a bit of mischief.

The roots of Romanian anti-Semitism are planted deep in the country’s soil, which is soaked with Jewish blood. In almost every city and town where Jews lived, they were routinely subject to murder and looting—carried out by ordinary citizens, but backed by the regime—both before World War II and after it. It is no wonder that historian Hannah Arendt described Romania as the most anti-Semitic country of all.

On the morning of June 29, 1941, 12,000 Romanian Jews, who were almost blindly loyal to the state, were led through the streets of the city of Iasi, humiliated and hungry, to the local police station, which became their slaughterhouse.

It was the government that ordered the terrible massacre, in which my family, too, was murdered when the security forces began shooting in all directions. That, we will never forget.…

But if anyone thought that a [after the collapse of Romania’s antisemitic Communist regimes] change had finally occurred over the last few years, if anyone hoped that anti-Semitism had been relegated to the boors who desecrate graves rather than pervading the government, then President Traian Basescu’s remarks at a press conference at the Bucharest Airport upon his return from Syria a week ago reminded us that there is another Romania besides that of pastrami and wine—the Romania of anti-Semitism. Syria, Basescu said, is bordered by the following countries: Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.

It is well known that Romania’s president is not particularly well-educated, but as a former sea captain one would have expected him to at least know a little geography and history. Has it escaped him that there is as yet no country called Palestine, but that another country, admittedly small, nevertheless exists on Syria’s border—one called Israel? It is a pity that the Foreign Ministry did not see fit to respond sharply to these remarks. It is still not too late.
