That is the vacation season, and it’s imagined to be a time for pleasure and celebration. It’s Christmas and Hanukkah. And household gatherings, workplace events, and delightful Christmas bushes and menorahs. And Santa Claus and placing large smiles on the faces of our children and our grandchildren. But abruptly all of the information is horrible. It’s like evildoers are attempting to grab happiness from civilized folks.
I can’t clarify the unmentionable deaths of Rob Reiner and his spouse Michele. I can’t clarify it. Nor can I account for the motive of the shootings at Brown College. These are hideous acts of violence, at a time of yr that’s imagined to be full of good cheer. However I can clarify the horrific acts of antisemitism that occurred in Australia throughout a Hanukkah occasion.
This mass killing by two loopy folks, father and son, comes from a rustic that could be a nice American ally, however is being run by a left-wing cabal. Led by Anthony Albanese.
In accordance with Axios, there have been greater than 1,600 recorded antisemitic incidents within the nation this yr alone, in line with knowledge from the Government Council of Australian Jewry. Happily, a courageous Muslim man Ahmed al-Ahmed, appeared out of nowhere and disarmed one of many gunmen within the Bondi bloodbath. This was nice heroism. However tragically 16 have been murdered and a few three dozen extra have been wounded within the worst occasion of antisemitic violence for the reason that October 7 terror assault in opposition to Israel.
Right here’s what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed to say to Australia’s Albanese yesterday: “On August 17, about 4 months in the past, I despatched Prime Minister Albanese of Australia a letter by which I gave him warning that the Australian authorities’s coverage was selling and inspiring antisemitism in Australia.”
Netanyahu added “As an alternative, Prime Minister, you changed weak point with weak point and appeasement with extra appeasement. Your authorities did nothing to cease the unfold of antisemitism in Australia. You probably did nothing to curb the most cancers cells that have been rising inside your nation. You took no motion. You let the illness unfold and the result’s the horrific assaults on Jews we noticed right this moment.”
So, I will simply say, good for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Individuals have to be held accountable. That features governments who’re our allies, however there’s a hyperlink between coddling antisemitism and subsequent acts of inhumane violence.
Which brings me again to the U.S. I don’t know what motive prompted the killing of two college students at Brown College and injuring 9 extra. However I do need to be aware that Brown, together with Columbia, Penn and lots of different elite American universities, have coddled antisemitism for years. The entire DEI motion (variety, fairness, and inclusion) which unfold like wildfire, till President Donald Trump put an finish to it, was the progenitor of all this campus antisemitism.
President Trump has stomped on these faculties, threatening to take their lavish federal funding away, and compelled numerous campus reforms. And it appears to be like like lots of the faculties are altering their insurance policies.
So at the least in most of America, the lightness and brightness of Christmas and Hanukkah will probably be celebrated. And I will simply say many due to the toughness of President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
