Is it 1938 again for the Jews?

This is the scariest time for Jews since the Holocaust. This is the most opportune time for Jews since the "Holocaust."
The Jews are being abandoned. Again. The Christians are being swindled. Again.
From the Jews' perspective, the world can be divided into three groups -
those that hate the Jews and want them dead, those that ignore this hatred
and aid the haters, and Americans. Anyone who has done even a minimal amount of research on Jewish culture and religion knows that from the Jews' perspective, the world can be divided into only two groups: Jew and non-Jew.
The first group consists mostly of Muslim and Arab societies. If ever Arab
hatred of Israel was purely political, that time has long passed. Arab,
Iranian and other Muslim literature today is as anti-Semitic as Nazi
literature was. Hitler's "Mein Kampf" is a best seller in the Middle East.
Articles regularly appear there describing how Jews kill non-Jewish children
to use their blood in holiday foods. Jews have been expelled from nearly
every Arab country. And the deliberate killing of Jews, including Jewish
children, is celebrated throughout the Muslim Middle East. And not just
Israeli Jews -- remember Daniel Pearl. Christians are told that Arab = Hitler, a not so subtle or clever ploy to
inspire racial distrust. This is especially insulting to White Christians of
German heritage. To equate the Jews' sand-dune cousins with a fallen White
leader is a kick in the face of every proud White man, woman, and child.
Mr. Prager mentions accounts of Jewish Ritual Murder in Arab countries'
newspapers but doesn't bother trying to discount the articles or their
accusations. Instead, he sandwiched it inbetween the mention of Hitler and
the following sentence, "Jews have been expelled from nearly every Arab
country." For good measure, he threw in the unsupported claim that the
killing of Jewish children is celebrated in the Muslim Middle East.
Finally, this paragraph ends with a sobering reminder: they killed our
innocent, American/Isreali Jewspaper boy, Daniel Pearl.
Also ominous for Jews (and for Christians, though most Christians do not
feel vulnerable even though they are next) is the great number of Muslim
immigrants living in Europe. There are some 32 million Muslims in Europe,
and many of them are radical and, therefore, anti-Semitic. Virtually every
day in the past month, Jews and synagogues were attacked by Muslims in
Europe. An especially nice touch is the warning that "Christians are next," which we find in the opening sentence. This supposedly puts us in the same boat with the Jews but it actually comes off as almost menacing, as if we are being bullied into believing this theory "or else." Though our White European friends may thank Mr. Prager for pointing out that
the great number of Muslim immigrants living in Europe is a problem, many
also know that Jews are not the solution, but the cause. Who wouldn't want
to emigrate from their own country which is occupied by a hostile foreign
government? The point also goes unmade that, per Kevin MacDonald's research, Jews like Mr. Prager were the loudest voices calling for the destruction of immigration barriers preventing the influx of the same Arabs they now warn us against. When they need them to break down cohesive White societies, Arabs are "diversity" - "our greatest strength." But when those same Arabs work against Jewish interests rather than White, they become "terrorists" we foolish Christians don't worry about enough. Thank God for wise and watchful Pragers, eh? Without them we might be...free and secure.
Because Europe fears its immense Muslim population, because of its own
anti-Semitism, because it is leftist, because it is dependent on Arab oil,
and because America supports Israel, Europe is the primary support of those
who wish another Jewish Holocaust. Europe, which has been a decaying
civilization since the end of World War I, has reached a moral nadir -- and
once again at the Jews' expense. This insinuates that American Christians should not only distrust Arabs, but also Europeans. Apparently they're going to be firing up gas ovens any day over there now. Obviously World War II didn't turn Whites against each other as successfully as hoped; now we are being told that Europe is the primary support of those who wish another Jewish Holocaust.
The second group, the rest of the world excluding the United States, is
either pro-Arab (e.g., Russia, China, South Africa) or oblivious to the
Jewish state's fate (most of Asia and Latin America).
The third group consists of Americans.
Now for the tug on the old patriotic heart strings.
In America, Jews live in unprecedented equality and security, and America is
Israel's defender. The reason is not only because America is such a tolerant
place. America does not merely tolerate Jews and Judaism. It honors them.
And it has done so since its inception. The United States is the only
country that has always defined itself as Judeo-Christian. There are
Christian countries, secular countries and Muslim countries, but America is
the only Judeo-Christian country.
Contrary to what Arab media constantly tell their people, American support
of Jews and Israel is not due to "Jewish/Zionist influence." It is due to
America's values and to its identification with Jews and Israel. Though
Christians founded the United States, the Old Testament played as great a
role in America's identity as did the New. Such was the identification with
Israel that Thomas Jefferson suggested that the seal of the United States
depict Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Here we are expected to believe that America is a "Judeo-Christian"
society. Mr. Prager tries to convince us of this by citing the Old
Testament of the Bible as the source of our supposed bond with the Jews.
This is a typical supposition; one has to dig a little deeper to learn that
the Jewish Holy Writings consist of not only the Old Testament but also The
Talmud, which is not the same as the first five books of the Old Testament
as we know it. It's fairly easy to find Thomas Jefferson's opinions on who God's Chosen People are -- "Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God if ever He had a Chosen People,"~ Notes on Virginia, Thomas Jefferson. That invalidates any claim that Thomas Jefferson would want us to support Israel because they are the "Chosen People."
As long as America remains Judeo-Christian and continues to prefer the
values of the Lone Ranger to those of the United Nations, Jews will never be
entirely abandoned. But given the Europeanization of America's elite, the
news media's constant moral equation of free Israel and its fascistic
enemies, the increasing number of anti-Jewish, anti-Christian Muslims in
America, and the continuing influence of the anti-America and anti-Israel
left on academia and on liberal Christian denominations, one day the Jews
and Israel may be entirely abandoned. Here, the Jews' nasty habit of projection is used in a feeble attempt to
blame "leftists" and "Europeanization" for media bias, anti-Christian
values, and the inevitable abandonment of the poor Jews and Israel if
America doesn't help them.
So here we are, just one generation after nearly every Jew in Europe was
murdered, and the remnant that remains in the New Jersey-sized Jewish state
is threatened with extinction. Note the big dramatics contained in this little paragraph. Nearly every Jew in Europe was killed just one generation ago? If you're not insulted yet, White Christian, by the assumption that you are ignorant enough to believe such a statement, then you need to kick yourself and then go research the number of Jews living in Europe before and after World War II. It's hard to imagine that the entire Jewish population could become extinct, especially if you consider the fact that they are not all concentrated in their little New Jersey-sized country, but are spread out all over the world.
Even the bulk of Jewry that was not alive in 1938 feels now as if that year
of appeasement of evil is being replayed. As in 1938, the world now seems to
be divided between those nations that were about to murder Jews and those
that would let it happen. The "Jewish Holocaust" is losing effect as one generation replaces another. A new imaginary oppression must be produced to ensure that Gentile Guilt Syndrome continues to thrive.
It is almost unbelievable. It is, indeed, almost unbelievable that Christians are being encouraged to stand with a people who blaspheme and ridicule our Lord and Saviour in ways that the "enemy" Muslims would never dream of doing. It is almost unbelievable that a journalist of Mr. Prager's standing would ignore historical and modern day evidence and instead cloak his political views in Biblical terms and try to sell it to the Christian reader.
