The 20th century could well be called the century of Holocaust. I think it had something to do with the powerful assertion of godless self-sufficiency that characterized its most deadly and infamous ideologies. The communists, the fascists, the Nazis all have this in common: that they fancy themselves creators of new worlds of human possibility, willing servants of a fantasy in which the future, wrought by human hands, will advance beyond God's limited vision of human nature to birth before the universe the superman, the everlasting Reich, the workers' paradise, the endlessly perfected revolution of hope, change and unimpeded progress. Obtusely brushing aside the intrinsic contradiction between unlimited being and the objective possibilities of existence, these fantasies of human pridefulness have ended, all of them, in murderous nightmares. They expanded the possibilities of humanity all right, but only to the extent of adding hitherto unimagined horrors.

As they are part of a people who, on account of their very existence as a people, experienced the full brunt of this murderous pride, it has always seemed incongruous to me that so many Jewish poets (using that word in its broadest sense to include all manner of creative artists) and intellectuals seem at ease with the utopian delusions of the left. According to the biblical account, the will to assimilate our own destruction is one of the principles of our nature, one of the reasons we are as we are. Just as Eve reached for the deadly fruit, so we are inclined to surrender to the siren song of future godhood that distracts us from the voice and presence of God within.

Who knows why American Jews, productive, creative people to be sure, don’t see the truth about the American left, what Fascist Socialism means for civil rights and what our Fascist Democrats mean for Israel? One thing is for certain. In 0bama we have the making of an American Hitler, a megalomaniac who speaks as a dictator, always focused on himself and his will. We have political power with no checks and balances, and it is just getting started. The outcome will shame this nation for generations to come, just as the holocaust has shamed Germany, and American Jews will have helped sponsor it. Israel won’t escape 0’s desire to destroy it to win adoration from the Islamic world.
