In recent months I’ve had cause to interview several Holocaust survivors. And though each story — can we call them stories, it sounds so banal? — is different, the themes remain unilaterally unsettling: fear, heart-breaking, wrenching separation from a loving mother or desperate father, arbitrary brutality, unimaginable savagery. But the harrowing testimony of these now elderly men and women also offers an enduring postscript, as each survivor exhorts those who listen to never forget man’s inhumanity to man. For Jews like me, well, how can we forget? […]

To remain in Europe is to transfer sovereignty from Westminster for Brussels. Our borders will remain porous; our laws subjugated by those who would aim to, as Chris Grayling put it, “Europeanize” our justice system. The UK has already surrendered significant power and veto to the EU, especially in the Treaties of Lisbon, Amsterdam and Nice.

Should the the far Right, hard Left or disenfranchised extremist communities ever sweep across Western Europe, how much easier will it be for Britain — Jews and non-Jews — to be overrun by such a contagion should those in power align themselves with such toxic beliefs? …

Context, please?

JFTR, the EU is not an expression of “Western man”, but of second-world socialist man.

The charge of racism...

Amen. I've never been so bewildered in my life. To be hated so much by those I've tried to help...

There is nothing in Islam that seems to be compatible with human rights based democracy. When I see an Islamic country support human rights, allow free speech, respect women, and welcome outsiders, I will change my opinion. Until then, I am not interested in welcoming more Muslims into the west or having influence over my affairs. For many years I naively welcomed them as friends, but for now on they need to earn my trust. This decision is a reflection of the bad character they have demonstrated...not a refection of my character.

Destroying the white race is a priority with white liberals. Maybe subconsciously, maybe not.

They just don’t believe that it could happen again. Europe thinks they are so above it. But they are making another Holocaust so much easier than it was for Hitler. They are surrendering ahead of time.

My head spins at the willful blindness.
