The Moral Insanity of Modern Life

In France, they're bombing synogogues.

Meanwhile, the threats mount in the country of Hitler.

In our own country, one of our own citizens urges Jews to 'Go Back to the Oven':

But as the protest continued and crowds grew, one woman in a hijab began to shout curses and slurs that shocked Jewish activists in the city, which has a sizable Jewish population.

"Go back to the oven," she shouted, calling for the counter-protesters to die in the manner that the Nazis used to exterminate Jews during the Holocaust.

"You need a big oven, that's what you need," she yelled.

...

The protest organizers, asked to comment on the woman's overt call for Jewish extermination, said she was "insensitive" but refused to condemn her statement.

Against this background, the always erudite Victor Davis Hanson observes:

If Israel thought the world would at least in this round distinguish the creepy and murderous Hamas from the PA, which worked hard to obtain the veneer of legitimate governance, it was somewhat mistaken. PA or Hamas, the world seems to care little — they are both purported victims of Jewish aggression and that is all ye need to know.

As a descendant of Holocaust survivors, I cannot tell you how much this scares me.  I tend to take those who preach western decline with a grain of salt.  That said, events of the past few weeks leave me flabbergasted.  When a civilized democracy confronts vile terrorists the underlying morality should be a no brainer.  Instead, our Secretary of State capitulates.

Mugatu had a point.
