Inför minnet av Kristallnatten

 Tyvärr måste man medge att ambassadör Leiter långt har rätt. Till och med i Finland uppmanar t.ex fackföreningar folket till bojkott av israeliska varor, det var början till grövre förföljelser på 1930-talet.

Knappast skulle några folkmassor protestera om Israels folk utsattes för grova våldshandlingar. Det såg vi förresten redan den 7 oktober att man inte gör. Hatet riktas i stället mot Israel.

Bra att reflektera över såhär inför Kristallnatten. (Natten mellan 9 och 10 november 1938 utfördes omfattande våldsdåd mot judar av nazisterna)

Ambassador to US suggests NY Times Gaza coverage preparing ‘next genocide’ of Jews

"Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, on Sunday suggested The New York Times published a “blood libel” about IDF actions in Gaza “to prepare the next genocide” of Jews.

“There is no difference between what is being done to us today and what was done to our grandparents in the ghettos of Europe 800 years ago,” Leiter said...

...A blood libel will cost lives. And the reason why they’re accusing us of genocide is to prepare the next genocide against us,” Leiter said.

“Hitler didn’t just happen — it was decades of preparation of demonizing and delegitimizing Jews,” Leiter said. “And now, through the State of Israel, through the Jewish state, there is an attempt to delegitimize and disenfranchise Jews as Jews.”... "


88 years after Kristallnacht, why are Jews still targeted?

"...I find it important to pause and recognize that Kristallnacht did not emerge from nowhere. It followed years of increasingly aggressive antisemitic propaganda, discriminatory legislation, economic exclusion, and the systematic isolation of Jewish citizens.

...The lesson of Kristallnacht is that society must never tolerate the normalization of antisemitism or allow the exclusion and persecution of Jews to become acceptable again. We must never forget how quickly discrimination can escalate when hatred is ignored, excused, or allowed to take root." 


Synagogues around the world to remember Kristallnacht by keeping their lights on
