The truth of antisemitism

 I have numerous thoughts regarding the proliferation of antisemitism and hate in our nation and around the world.  I have not posted anything about the recent spate of antisemitism as it relates to the Trump candidacy until now. Anti Jewish hate is a subject on which I have strong opinions so much so that I wanted to carefully compose the essence of my thoughts on it because in sum it taps into the core of my being. I want to make an explanation of it clear and and most importantly correct and true.  Because racial hate exists on the political right I positioned myself politically to the left.

I once saw a film entitled "The Longest Hatred." I thought it encompassed much about the long history of antisemitism, its reoccurring theme in the world and, most particularly, in this country because the mantel on which it rests is contrary to what the United States of America is all about.  I will post a link to the "Longest Hatred'' at the bottom of my written thoughts. Full disclosure I am Jewish as were all my ancestors who resided in Europe, Eastern Europe and in America too. 

I was first introduced to the malevolent hatred of the Jews as a young child.  I asked questions such as why do they hate us. My mother answered by saying things like "they are jealous of us."  Jealous of what, I remember I asked?  I observed it and heard accusations about it as a young adult continuing into my adult years where I could more fully grasp and have an understanding of the historicity of it. I was repeatedly told the Jews killed Christ.

Antisemitism spans centuries beginning 2000 years ago and intertwined first with the alleged rejection of Christ, the Christian son of god, by the Jews and his tortuous death by the Roman occupiers of Palestine.  Antisemitism runs deep within the psyche of Christians and its onslaught of hate and ultimate slaughtering of 6 million human beings historically named the Holocaust.  How does something so huge exist perpetrated by the most learned nation in the western world, Germany.  For its evidence one need to historically account for such a thing as the Germans, known for their pristine record keeping kept a tally of  the number of Jews killed which jived with the philosophical underpinnings of Nazism itself.  Moreover, if one reads the German leader Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) for its rationale to make the world in the

"Aryanization: Judenrein & Judenfrei Holocaust Glossary: Terms, Places, and Personalities."Judenfrei or cleansed of Jews to designate an area free of Jewish presence during The Holocaust. While Judenfrei merely to "freeing" an area of all of its Jewish citizens, the term Judenrein (literally "clean of Jews") was also used. This had the stronger connotation that any trace of Jewish blood had been removed as an impurity."

There is sufficient evidence to prove imprisoning and killing Jews was a Nazi goal.  Other nations surrounding Germany may have hated German occupation but some were thrilled with their policy of Jew eradication and waved hands saying "goodbye Jews."

The history of antisemitism is saturated with evidence that it occurred blasting Holocaust denial into oblivion.  No matter how many antisemites choose to deny the existence of the Holocaust there is sufficient evidence to treat that mendacious view as a vicious lie and blast it into the ash heap of history.  Curiously often they both deny it and approve of it.

Trump has zero ethics and will use that which he thinks gives him power.  He allies himself with his moronic antisemites because it is a group which he can milk for political support and does so all the time despite his own daughter's Jewish conversion, her Jewish husband and their children considered Jews by birth. 

I could relate hundreds of antisemitic views including in my own life a neighbor telling me that the "Jews killed Christ" and another time a work compatriot told me she "Jewed someone down" to get a better price on something she purchased.  When the Holocaust was on TV showing the horrific internment of Jews in an array of concentration camps another woman at work told me "See that's what you get for killing one of your own."  By the way Jews never would use crucifixion as an instrument of death but the Romans gladly used it to show others what would befall them as they walked up a hill near the crosses as admonition if they went against Rome.

 Trump induced antisemitism is currently popular and it is a part of fascistic movements all over the world.   The truth that antisemitism exists cannot be denied but the content of it is and always has been saturated with lies. It must be called out for what it is man's proclivity to designate the "other" for eradication and spread those lies about them all over the world.  We must call antisemitism out as lies when we hear or see it.  Silence is an affirmation of it and a way to spread its ugly message far and wide.
