Voice actress Tara Strong states she was fired for pro-Israel posts – in effect, for being Jewish. Now we have come a full 180 degrees. We used to be pro-Israel out of guilt. We recalled that first, Hitler merely wanted the Jews to leave, “For all I care, on luxury liners.” But no one, including the US, wanted them. Read about the ship MS St. Louis, which we turned away with 908 passengers, about half of whom were murdered in the Holocaust.
But, as General de Gaulle said, blood dries quickly. We have not only forgotten our guilt, we turned it into resentment at the Jews for making us feel guilty. We applaud random murderers of whole families as “freedom fighters.” We even fire those who object to this terrorism.
Jefferson was talking about slavery when he said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.” But his worry applies here as well. Those who condone, or even applaud, the murder of families will have to face justice, here or in the next world. It won’t be pretty.
