What Kind Of Holiday Will My Grandchildren Celebrate ?

Even though my kids are older now (one's 16 and the other is 20) I still go into their rooms to watch them sleep. When they were babies, I would run into their rooms and make sure that they were breathing. But these days when I look at my kids sleeping in their beds’ looking so innocent I worry about other things.

I worry that across the world innocent Jewish children are being de-humanized. That the radical thieves who have stolen and now control Islam are teaching their children to kill my children. I think about the European and American press portraying Jews using old horrible stereotypes, I see anti-Semitism growing on US Campuses, people use old anti-Semitic stereotypes are on television without being confronted, and we have a President who continues to appease the haters of the world.

And just like 70 years ago I see much of the world refusing to go beyond tepid lip service, refusing to acknowledge the scope of the Antisemitism problem and acting to perpetuate rather than to prevent it.

A friend once told me that all Jewish holidays are based on the same premise, "they tried to kill us ---we won---lets eat!" This is only partially true, there are some very joyous holidays that fit into that category such as Pesach and Chanukah. There are also the others--those based on a totally different idea: they tried to kill us they won, and few of us survived by the grace of G0d. You know, holidays such as Tisha B’Av and Yom HaShoah.

Call me an alarmist but I am scared! Every time I open a newspaper or turn on the TV is becoming increasingly clear to me that we are in the early stages of one of those "They tried to kill us" periods. How often have you read about the "Powerful Israel Lobby" in the NY Times, Media Matters, The Huffington Post , on TV or coming out of the world of academia? How many times have you read about the other things the Jewish people supposedly do control the media, the banks? And when people spew that hatred, they are called "Anti-Israel" instead of what they really are: Anti-Semites.

Look at how former President of the US declares that the "Jewish Lobby" and is seen as a valued elder, or how the present President extends his hand in friendship to terrorists.

See how the world takes a Terrorist who denies the Holocaust, such as Mahmoud Abbas and declares him to be a moderate. And how nations such as Russia and Switzerland takes another Holocaust denier and sell him components he can use to make a nuclear weapon.

Look at how the world sees a bigoted country like Saudi Arabia and considers it moderate....Saudi Arabia is building a fence to keep out people from Yemen. We know that when a state does this it is called an apartheid fence. That’s what Saudi Arabia, the EU, and people like the peanut president call Israel's fence. Yemen is says that the Saudi apartheid fence is really a land grab. Isn’t that what the UN says about the Israeli Fence?
