CAN IT HAPPEN AGAIN?​

Every year a day is set aside to remember those Jews who died in the Holocaust. This annual memorial is called Yom HaShoah. There are many sources available in libraries and museums, as well as on the Internet, that tell of the atrocities committed against the Jewish people before and during World War II in Nazi Germany and elsewhere. Just as plentiful are sources documenting present day actions and words by people and organizations around the world that reflect the same hatred toward Jews that resulted in the Holocaust. Is it possible that the Holocaust could happen again? Once you read this you may agree that the evidence of the anti-Semitic attitudes and actions around the world support a “Yes” answer to that question.

HOLOCAUST Denial 

“In America, which had little to do with the event itself, there is an ever-growing Holocaust industry in academia. There is a Holocaust Hollywood. There are Holocaust museums and memorials trying to make concrete what might otherwise become dated and ephemeral. And there is the Holocaust-promoting chorus of wealthy and influential American Jews who make sure we never forget.”

“’Never forgetting’ is the best way to intensify the collective guilt on the part of America’s Christian majority and boost the Holocaust industry’s favorite political cause-the state of Israel. Guilt, laced with liberally dispensed charges of anti-Semitism for opponents and sweetened with a heavy sprinkling of PAC money, has made to Israrel-firsters masters of the executive and legislative branches. Easy and often exclusive access to the media shapes public opinion. And at the end there is a pot of gold: unlimited political and military support plus $6 billion in U.S. taxpayer-provided annual aid to a country that is one of the richest on earth.” 

“Nazis killing Jews has become the paradigm for modern-day genocide, but the Holocaust is hardly unique in the 20th century, which affords numerous examples of mass killing. The politics of mass murder nowadays, as practiced by dictators and democrats alike, is all about killing people with words before you actually shoot them. Perversely, the Holocaust is used to justify killing yet more people; i.e. to ‘prevent another Holocaust.’” 

“In short, can anyone deny that most invocations of the Holocaust are cynical and bogus?  The Holocaust promoters understand that if you keep saying the same thing over and over again everyone will eventually believe it; i.e., that the Holocaust is the greatest evil in history and justifies special breaks not only for its survivors, but also for their descendants and co-religionists.” (University of Chicago Magazine, letter to the editor, October, 1999) 

“The purpose of Israel is to remind Europe and the US of the crematoriums in which, according to Israeli claims, six million Jew were killed. Yet, in their historical research, scholars emphasize that this figure is greatly exaggerated. [R]ecords published by Jewish organizations in the US mentioned that Hitler’s time, there were only three million Jews in Europe, as was determined by the great French intellectual, Rojer Garaudi. Israel’s purpose in commemorating the Holocaust is to keep these countries under the weight of a guilt complex in order to continue to extort millions of dollars from them. This is, in addition to the political blackmail, especially of Germany, the US, Switzerland and other countries.” (Muhammad ‘Abd Al-‘Azim, Al-Gemhuriya, Egypt, February 22, 2000) [MEMRI]*

“Zionist propaganda continues, even today, to raise the issue  of the Nazi crematoriums for Jews, although the historical evidence, revealed by renowned German, British, and French historians, proved that claims that such crematoriums existed in the Nazi movement realized that the Jews ignored its call to immigrate to Palestine.”

“To achieve this goal, the Zionist movement cooperated with some Nazi leaders and especially the ‘Hitlerist’ SS in order to increase the terror against the Jews. This [phenomenon] reached the point where the Zionist movement cooperated with some Nazi military leaders in planning massacres against Jews in the detention camps. It is possible that the massacres in the detention camp in Budapest in which thousands of Jews were killed, proves the joint conspiracy planned by the Zionist movement ‘and the Nazis].” 

“The Zionist movement learned that Jewish immigrants fleeing [Europe] were not heading to Palestine, but rather to America.  Therefore, it planned a crime even worse than the Budapest massacre. It plotted to sink a ship crossing the [Atlantic] ocean on its way to the US carrying many Jewish immigrants… the purpose was to terrify the Jews so that they would fear crossing the ocean and chose a safer option – traveling to Palestine…” * 

“Six million Jews dead?  No way, there were much fewer.  Let’s stop with this fairytale exploited by Israel to capture international solidarity.  It is not my fault if Hitler hated Jews, indeed they were hated a little everywhere. Instead, it is necessary to denounce the unjust occupation endured by my people. Tomorrow I will ask John Paul II to support our cause,” the Grand Mufti states. (The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Eqirma Said Sabri, Iman of the Al-Asqa, La Republica, Italy, Marcy 24, 2000) [MEMRI]* 

British Justice Charles Gray has ruled that Deborah Lipstadt’s portrayal of David Irving as a dangerous leader of the movement to minimize the Holocaust in 1994 book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, was substantiated by evidence presented during the trial of the libel suit filed against Lipstadt by Irving. Gray said the evidence showed that Irving “persistently and deliberately manipulated historical evidence” and that he portrayed Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in a favorable light that is unsupportable by the historical record. “It appears to me to be incontrovertible that Irving qualifies as a Holocaust denier.” (Bert Rooghton, Jr, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, April 12, 2000) 

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

“The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is pledged to universality, and indeed is composed of 176 member societies from every corner of the earth.  One exception: Israel. Israel’s Red Cross—the Magen David Adom—is denied admission. It is relegated to observer status. Why? The excuse is the MDA’s symbol: Israel’s society uses not a red cross or (as do Muslim societies) a red crescent, but a red Shield (or Star) of David. To admit the Israeli’s society, say the federation (and its associate body, the International Committee of the Red Cross), would lead to a proliferation of other symbols.  What nonsense. First of all, the red cross was not intended at its founding to be a religious symbol at all. It was drawn from the Swiss flag, as a symbol of neutrality and as homage to its Swiss founders.  In deference to the sensibility of Turkey and Egypt and other Islamic countries, Muslims were permitted to substitute the red crescent. There was no great concern about proliferation of symbols then. Nor when Iran was granted permission to use the lion and sun.” (Red Cross Snub”, Charles Krauthammer, Washington post, March 24, 2000) 

An inside look at the United Nations by James Bone of the London Times 

“Perhaps Israel should have taken heed of Groucho Marx’s famous advice that he would never join a club that would have him as a member. After half a century of being ostracized from the United Nation’s Asian bloc because of the opposition of Muslim countries, Israel is on the bring of joining the Western European and Other Group (WEOG). Behind the scenes, however, negotiators have attached so many strings that it is unlikely Israel will be elected to represent WWEOG on any UN bodies for years to come, if ever. For Israel, WEOG membership would be an important symbol of ending its longstanding isolation at the United Nations, a process that began with the 1991 repeal of the General Assembly’s 1975 resolution declaring “Zionism Equals Racism.” WEOG is a Western club that united European Union member with the United states, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and  host of smaller nations  lie Lichtenstein and Malta. Its chief purpose is to select candidates for elections to UN bodies, including the Security Council. After months of discussion, political directors from the European Union last week quietly agreed the conditions under which the European countries would accept Israel into WEOG. The package is not being put to the other WEOG nations. So-called “modalities” make clear that Israel will receive only “temporary” membership in the Western club and will have to report every two years on its efforts to join the Asian group. There will be a full review of Israel’s membership after four years, and Israel will be excluded from participation in that decision. 

The most significant restrictions, however, are on Israel’s ability to get elected as a WEOG candidate. The “modalities,” which are almost certain to be adopted, propose a two-year moratorium on Israel’s participation in contested elections, including for prized seats on the Security Council. Israel will also have to agree not to disturb existing “rotation” arrangements in bodies where WEOD fields only agreed candidates, such as the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Such “rotations,” which include the WEOG chairmanship, are often agreed on years in advance. Only when WEOG does not field any other candidates for a UN position will Israel be able to compete immediately.” (www.unfoundation.org, April 25, 2000) 

WHAT ISRAEL’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE PARTNERS HAVE TO SAY 

The Egyptian daily AKBAR A-YOM, (August 13, 1999 edition( praised LA gunman Buford Furrow for his calls to murder the whole of American Jewry. The editor of AKBAR said that Furrow “has a goal to annihilate the Jewish race in the United States. I ask god to assist him in his efforts to attain this goal. Let us join together saying, ‘May it be god’s will.’” (Dispatch from Jerusalem, Vol. 24, No.6) 

‘”The hands of the U.S. are fully stained with the blood of the Palestinians.’ The only solution to unrest in the Middle East is ‘namely the annihilation and destruction of the Zionist State.’”  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, December 31, 1999 (Dispatch for Jerusalem, Vol. 25, No.2) 

“The Zionist gang that took control in Russia after the ailing Yeltsin’s removal has turned the Soviet homeland into a den of prostitution, a cave of thieves, and a swamp of hunger, poverty, and drugs. Today members of the Duma [Russian Parliament] claim that the Jews rob the land and that people like Berezovsky, Vladimir Gozensky, Moman Abramowitz, Alesander Smolensky, and Alexander Mamut [Russian businessmen of Jewish Descent] are the ones who set the fire in Chechnya… They further claim that the explosions in Moscow were perpetrated by the Jews rather than the Chechens, and that the Mafia now corrupting  Russia operates n the service of these new criminals. According to reports from the Kremlin itself, this Mafia is run by Jews from Tel Avid and controls the collapsing Russian economy.  [Russian] Businessmen pay them protection money and all of Fussia is becoming a collapsing pyramid of obscenities.” (Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, Ph.D., columnist for the leading government affiliated Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, April 1, 2000) 

PALESTINE FATEH MOVEMENT CONSTITUTION: Excerpts from Chapter 1 

Article (4) The Palestinian struggle is part and parcel of the world-wide struggle against Zionism, colonialism and international imperialism. 

Article (7) The Zionist Movement is racial, colonial and aggressive in ideology, goals, organization and method. 

Article (8) The Israeli existence in Palestine is a Zionist invasion with a colonial expansive base, and it is a natural ally to colonialism and international imperialism. 

Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence. 

Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People’s armed revolution is a decisive factor in the  liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.

Choice 

The words and actions of all of these people reflect a choice they have made to reflect the Jews as a people because they are Jews. Their attitudes are not new. Since Yahweh called out Abraham to be the Father of His People through his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob, Yahweh’s people have faced the hatred of others just because of who they are. Yet, there is one Jew Who they neglect to realize (or acknowledge) is a Jew – Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ). It seems quite a paradox for people to profess belief in Messiah Yeshua and for them to hate Jews at the same time. If you have never thought about this before, please think about it now.  It’s a choice between hate and Love. It is a choice between satan and God…a choice between death and Life. 

From the Bridegroom 

“Arise in your anger of Righteousness at the way Mine are treated – indeed and in attitude. DO NOT ACCEPT THE ENEMY’S TREATMENT OF MY SEED. Becry their agony – cry for them. Let your spirit in My Spirit weep for Mine – Mine Own…” (March 7, 1996 

In Yeshua’s Name, Be Blessed!
