I just wrote a letter to the Jerusalem Post regarding: Open
letter calls on Jewish organizations to endorse Black Lives Matter.
An open letter organized by three Jewish activists is
calling on the Jewish community to take a number of actions, including
endorsing Black Lives Matter. (June 13).
Published Friday, the letter has been signed by 52 people affiliated
with Jewish organizations.
Yet a Black Lives Matter protester vandalized the statue of
Winston Churchill in Parliament Square. He explained his motives: “I tagged up the statue of Churchill because
he's a confirmed racist. He fought the Nazis to protect the Commonwealth from
invasion - he didn't do it for black people or for people of colour or for
people of anything. He did it sheerly for colonialism. People will be angry -
but I'm angry that for many years we have been oppressed”
In his December 31, 1999 column in the Washington Post, Charles
Krauthammer wrote:
“Person of the Century? Time magazine offered Albert
Einstein, an interesting and solid choice. Unfortunately, it is wrong. The only
possible answer is Winston Churchill.
Why? Because only Churchill carries that absolutely required
criterion: indispensability. Without Churchill the world today would be
unrecognizable — dark, impoverished, tortured.
Take away Churchill in 1940, on the other hand, and Britain
would have settled with Hitler — or worse. Nazism would have prevailed. Hitler
would have achieved what no other tyrant, not even Napoleon, had ever achieved:
mastery of Europe. Civilization would have descended into a darkness the likes
of which it had never known.”
Jewish organizations are willing to endorse Black Lives
Matter whose members desecrate the statue of the man who saved civilization
from the “darkness the likes of which it had never known”. This is shameful! They have forgotten our collective history.
