Kristallnacht

Posted on 06/04/2020 8:54:23 PM PDT by tophat9000

Kristallnacht (German pronunciation: [kʁɪsˈtalnaχt] (About this soundlisten)) or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November Pogrom(s),[1][2] was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The German authorities looked on without intervening.[3] The name Kristallnacht ("Crystal Night") comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings and synagogues were smashed. The pretext for the attacks was the assassination of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath[4] by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old German-born Polish Jew living in Paris.

They're conveniently calling the white guys that are egging this on “white supremacist” groups, when they know damn well those guys are antifa terrorists. They see an opening to fool a lot of gullible idiots with lies, so they lie. It's really that simple.

If “white supremacist” groups are egging the violence on...

Then why are all these Politicians “standing down” and letting the violence “white supremacist” groups create continued?

Why are they aiding the “white supremacist” groups?

Rhetorical question because they know it’s not white supremacist
