The new antisemitism

Yeshiva Mercaz HaRav. We live in a bizarre postmodern world where intentional, brutal death-seeking is fine, as long as it is against a truly democratic, peace-seeking "aggressor," and no one blinks when terror-states dance in the street at the sight of innocent Israeli blood. And the Western elites who enable such terror consider themselves socially progressive, so cultured and post-racial!

Here's the truth: this is the face of the new antisemitism. And its effect will be potentially exponentially more deadly to Jews than the old version; to wit: the new Hitler will have nukes; he already has a fawning world media fan base, enabling the madness.

Via Gail at Crossing the Rubicon, hear the prophetic voice of Yitzchok Adlerstein:

The society that preaches martyrdom to children, that rejoices in the street over the deaths of students huddled over sacred texts, that praises death over life – this society has become Amalek.

Selah.

Would you recognize Hitler...

...if he came in your generation?

A question runs through my mind: How can we claim to be on the side of light in reference to past crimes, if we cannot delineate between good and evil on this day, this very day?

Look at this video, where a modern leader leads the masses in mesmerizing chants: Death to Israel! Death to America!

Look at this video, where a passionate speaker sways the minds of his followers with a revised history and call for blood.

Look at these videos and ask, "Was it any clearer during Hitler's time -- this call for Jewish destruction?" Or was it even muddier then, with the Holocaust denied until the camps were discovered by the Allies? Indeed, morality is easy in hindsight, and these calls for Jewish destruction are far clearer than Hitler's... or Stalin's... in the death of tens of millions of Jews.

We will not be judged for another time. Neither will easy moralisms against evil in another time absolve us from the guilt of our own time. We will be judged for today, for where we stood when darkness offered the price in our own terms.

Look at these videos, and evaluate where you stand!

Selah.

Sad update: Meanwhile, Mike Wallace of CBS News calls Ahmadinegad smart, interesting and charming...at the same time referring to Israel as "that Zionist state." Unbelievable, yet real. Thus is evil enabled in our time. Hitler and Stalin had their charms, as does every mass murderer. Antichrist comes as a man of peace. Now we see just how such destroyers are feted, how they are excused: good called evil and evil good, on the basis of banalities, while millions of Jews, Christians and innocents die.
