As a Pittsburgh native I am shocked and saddened by the attack on the Tree of Life synagogue by a deranged hate filled murderer. I know the Squirrel Hill neighborhood well – I had an apartment there about a mile from Tree of Life my senior year at Pitt.
The response from Pittsburghers to this horrific event has been overwhelming. The blood donation centers are full with people donating not Jewish blood, or Christian blood, or Muslim blood, but human blood, because at the end of the day love will prevail over hate.
I'd like to believe that, Allyn. But where the Jews are concerned, the score seems locked at Hate 6,000,000, Love 0.
That score is locked in history and we must never forget that score to strengthen our resolve of never again.
Who could have predicted that normalizing Nazism might have consequences?
I can think of at least 11 people, but they're not here to say, "I told you so."
Today, I feel Jewish. My mother's people, the family that converted but were still ostracized for "the taint in the blood", buried in segregated cemeteries, the ones that were marked as "Hebrew" on the ship's manifest coming over the Atlantic, the ones left behind, who didn't convert, who didn't try to pass, the ones who died in the camps, the ones who cut themselves off from their heritage and culture, changed all the family names, denied their history, all to try to "fit in" in antisemitic America.
Nothing new under the sun. Trump has normalized hate and Naziism, he has made it acceptable to hate for religious differences, for too much pigment in the skin, for being from another country seeking asylum from gangsters and terror.ists He has reached back into the worst cesspools humanity was capable of, and why? Not out of any deeply held beliefs on his own part, but for political power and building his base.
Some hardcore anti-Semites would say that Trump himself is compromised and corrupt, because of his Jewish son in law (Kushner).
Progressive Jews, on the other hand, criticize Kushner for being silent about the Charlottesville mob, about his father in law proudly proclaiming his "nationalism" and promotion of every white supremacist dog whistle. Kushner's own grandparents were Holocaust survivors, and Kushner's stance is one of silence and tacit acceptance of Trump's policies.
After the Pittsburgh synague massacre, Jared Kushner has been silent, still. His wife, Ivanka, has spoken out, in the ways you'd expect her to. Whatever decency the $resident shows is probably due to his daughter's prompting.
Hardcore anti-Semites can come up with explanations of nearly ANYONE being compromised by intention or by manipulation.
Cory Gardner, “The hateful, and anti-Democrat, anti-media attack on innocent people is blah, blah, blah…
Sad reality is that these shootings have become so common people that people barely give them much thought anymore. There are no easy answers, but we have to keep looking for preventive solutions.
