I Am A Child Survivor of the Holocaust - I can no longer suppress my rage

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I am a child survivor, and went through the destruction of a defenseless people by an enemy called Nazism.

Now, the blood of Israel flows in its streets. A second wave of Nazism breaks over us. And I hear phrases of blame like "cycles of violence," "ending the occupation," as if something we were doing, rather than our very existence were responsible for attacks against us.

I hear lies, distortions, self-serving versions of history. Occupation? Years ago when there was no occupation, what did they do? They murdered our athletes at the Olympics; they hijacked planes; they pushed a man in a wheelchair off a ship into the sea. What excuse will they use when there is no occupation again?

As a survivor of the Holocaust, I can no longer suppress my rage. I must express this rage without any restraint. Then I can go in peace.

The form that my rage takes is a question.

What would have happened had the Jewish people, as of V-E Day, behaved like the Palestinians?

The answer is bitterly obvious.

At the end of World War II, in response to the murder of 6 million of our people, rabbis and Jewish leaders could have declared their own holy war of terror. A Jewish Hezb'allah or Hamas could have raised money through innocuous seeming charities to pay for murder. They could have targeted Germans and Poles, Hungarians and Italians,all of those whose sins of commission and omission permitted us to be murdered.

They could have targeted populations in all the other nations who attended the Evian Conference. There, in 1938, the international community joined together to assure the Nazis that no nation had any interest in intervening to protect individual Jews in Europe, and that the international community would do nothing to rescue, or...........

I work with several Jewish colleagues. One is a strong conservative. One (he's 65) has switched from being a lifelong staunch Democrat to being a raging right winger. The rest are Obama love slaves.

Those love slaves and their ilk will bring about the destruction of Israel. It is past the tipping point IMHO. Not saying the Israelis won't take a bunch of their enemies with them. But their neighbors have turned from a bunch of rock throwers to battle hardened, well equipped, martyrs.

In spite of it all, we’ll be left standing when the smoke clears. 3,500 years. Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Arabia, pogroms and crusades, nazis, muftists, communists, PLO, Hamas, all wanted to obliterate us at one time or another. Some came closer than others. All except the most recent wishful thinkers are gone. We’re still here, because G-d wills it. The latest attempts will fail as well.

[I still care]

After much effort I found these lyrics:

In every land, in every place
The Jew hears only one thing
You are a Jew, go away.
You are an outsider

The Jew wanders, doesn’t get tired.
The spark of Jewishness is in his heart.
He laughs at his enemies
When God is with him,
Who can do him harm?

Many time little Israel’s spirit is broken
He bends before the slightest wind
But the strongest storm cannot uproot
The little, beautiful spark

The spark of Jewishness is very dear
Honor and pride
It gives to you.
Value, respect, and guard it.

Little Jew, that spark is your crown.
You have suffered much for it,
They wore out your limbs
Tortured your brothers,
Everyone bathed in your blood
There are endless lies against that spark
But it is always courageous
The wise Jew laughs at his enemies.
