Way back when, some 35 or so years ago, I thought the JDL was maybe a bit too extreme. Now? With the stuff going on in campuses all over the USA, and with the college administrations doing little or nothing to protect Jewish students (or Christian students for that matter) against intimidation, threats, harassment and worse, I’ve started concluding that the JDL may be what is needed to protect those students. Our campuses resemble Stalin’s USSR or Nazi Germany (when it comes to Jewish and Christian students) more than what used to be the USA. Sad. Yes, unfortunately, it could happen here.
An old acquaintance during my school days used to wear a button that read, “I Am A Zionist”, and she got hassled by some rags (all men of course; at least at that time the Muzzies didn’t send women to school either at home or abroad) who wound up shouting that the Jews should go the same place they went in WWII.
I guess that wouldn’t happen now, because everyone knows the Holocaust is a myth. /sarc
