Better late than Never? Never Again
I know it’s a bit late. But that’s my point – 60 years- come on guys. The UN has declared a day to recognize Auschwitz. I have such ambiguity as well as suspicion towards all this. I am real confused with this one. What gives? You gotta wonder. What exactly inspired the moral compass of the world to dedicate effort towards commemorating the Holocaust? What exactly was the objective in the commemoration? Let’s study the options:
Was it:
a) To educate the world about the horrors that man is capable of committing and to further push the need for humanitariianism
b) To educate the world about anti –Semitism
c) To acknowledge and give the few remaining survivors a minutia of their due respect
d) To provide the UN as well as the rest of the world with some more leverage in railroading Israel into the ruse referred to as Palestinian Statehood.
To be frank, the world doesn’t give a hoot about a) and b). The UN certainly has reservations of halting atrocities. If the UN indiscriminately pursues global injustices why are they oblivious to the African continent and the 22 Arab states?
The UN’s general response to choice b) has proven itself to be despicable. Aren't these the same folks that screamed themselves into a frenzy when it came to the Jenin hoax but remain pindrop quiet when a Jewish family gets decimated while the perpetrator's family gets rewarded? Furthermore, by the Arab representatives ignoring the event without any rebuke, they not only proved that anti Zionism is anti Judaism they also suggested who has been manipulating the UN.
It’s ironic that there were 2 things to have been created from the ashes of Auschwitz the UN and the state of Israel. Ironic – because the latter seems to be trying to turn the former into ashes. Since its inception, Israel has been the recipient of unrelenting terror from its Arab neighbors and global indifference. Not only has the UN shirked its responsibilities, they have turned into the very instrument to incessantly censure Israel at every turn.
Pushing for the creation of Palestine is not quite consistent with humanitarianism morality and justice. The palestinians (Of course I refer not to pre - Israel days when even Jews were Palestinians) cannot lay claim for being an upstanding group. Their track record with terrorism has been a bit dismal. This group not only aligns with terrorism but they even murder those who collaborate with anti terrorism.
To be even more frank, most Jews don’t even care about anti-Semitism. Barring a handful of events and columnists the Jewish response to anti-Semitism in the form of anti Israeli terrorism is far from deafening. Furthermore, anti-Semitism around the world has been thriving. Putin himself had to excuse his country for the recent anti –Semitic surge during his speech at the Auschwitz. The US and England is also experiencing recent escalations in anti Semitism. These events affect every Jew. Forget about speeches, rallies and letters. Forget about brotherly responsibilities, what about your own neck?
The drive for the Palestinian terror state is greatly being fueled by not only anti –Semites who are repelled by the thought that a Jew has anything more than a tattoo branded on his arm, but by Jews. Not only the well acclimated academic global Jew who pontificates for the New York Times while sitting comfortably from his American house away from arabs and other Jews. The drive for the 22nd arab state of terror is being fueled by the Jew who cries from his unsafe Israeli home. Is 60 years too long of a time for you to forget? Do you really think it can’t happen again? Do you not realize that a significant portion of the world equates you with Nazism?
What suddenly woke the UN up from their slumber? I can't say for sure. However, superior to the Anti-Semitism or the humanitarianism reason is the age old rationale. The green reason. The US needs the Arab to be content. Bending Israel’s arm in the form of non responses to Arab terror, freeing Arab terrorists, uprooting the shtachim (known as the territories), and creating a country (the 22nd one) must be wonderful for the oil sheiks who are heavily invested in the US stock markets. It not only displays a little Jewish humility it also strokes the Arab ego. Israel would be hard-pressed to cry that the world is anti-Semitic with their dangerous demands if there was a global Auschwitz commemoration.
The only consolation I receive from this charade is acknowledgment. The acknowledgement that the survivors told Hitler that there truly is a superior race. The race that despite their abhorrence whose root is their distinctiveness holds on dearly to their heritage with the inspiration of the survivors. The race that was humiliated 60 years ago while the world at best stood by and at worst volunteered towards the cause – managed to retain its dignity and shout I made it where is Hitler?
Perhaps 60 years went by and the Jew’s memory is starting to fade. Jews can indeed be hurt or even worse. Anti –Semitism exists and continues to fester. Never Again doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen again. It means never will a Jew again need to remain silent in his part of the world while another is being maligned. The Jew who feels that we are all part of one great big global community and that humanism will protect him is guilty of a few things. He is guilty of disregarding ever increasing anti - Semitism, forgetting history and is losing touch with his distinctiveness. To sum it up he is ignoring the survivor. As far as the UN goes and the rest of the global family. A part of me laughs at their petty theatrics. A part of me wishes that they all burn in Gehonim. No, that’s too good. How about Auschwitz?
