Is MAGA becoming Make America Christian Again? If so, MACA could generate a new round of ostracizing for all Jews. We have withstood bias, slander and even extermination attempts and still question why have we been historically shunned and persecuted. Is it because Christians are envious of Jewish medical, financial and arts accomplishments? Are they afraid this tiny minority somehow has the wherewithal and ability to take over the world? Do they think we were beheading Christians? Do they disbelieve the Old Testament accounting of G-d telling Abram his seed will be the kings and leaders of the world? Jesus was a King and Leader who, as all Jews are, descended from Abram through Issac and Jacob. The reason why is inconsequential — only our action/reaction is of importance.
Almost 100 years ago in Germany, before the pogroms began to fly, the handwriting was on the wall. Most European Jews failed to heed the warning. Is it happening again? This is not about Trump or politics, but the witnessing/experiencing of a movement. Israel can’t save us — “Never Again” starts now here in America.
Perhaps this new wave of un-Christian, anti-Semitism might best be countered by a daily/weekly TV, radio or newspaper column touting, subtlety, the contributions Jews have made, and continue to make, to the world — especially the USA. The writers, on a rotating basis, could include high government officials, Christian ministers, Jewish media stars, industry moguls…Though news publications are in the business of making a profit; such a column would help unify the nation and thus contribute to their bottom line… and also might stave off another Holocaust.
If you agree, please send this column and/or your comments to “The NY Times,” “LA Times,” “The Week,” “USA Today,” FOX, ABC, NBC, CNN…
