Rant #3,873: Truth

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, where we remember the atrocities committed by the Nazis and Adolph Hitler during World War II, and vow that nothing like it should ever happen again.

Eighty years later, we are witnessing what is possibly the early indicators that this actually could happen again, what with levels of anti-Semitism at their all-time highest levels not just in the United States, but worldwide.

And the level of anti-Semitic, anti-Jew and anti-Israel rhetoric on social media is growing by leaps and bounds--

And what's worse, the number of posts blatantly denying that the Holocaust ever happened, with so many actually believing that this atrocity was nothing but something of a publicity stunt to bolster Zionists' justification of a true homeland, is absolutely appalling.

I have seen this rising tide myself, where praise for Hitler and the Nazis exists--

And not only exists, but is thriving.

This can't be, but it is.

I have answered many of these imbecilic posts, but it is really amazing that while I am receiving more likes for what I have to say to these idiots, i am also seeing more and more people agreeing with these imbecilic posts being put up by the most ignorant people.

Yesterday, I had had enough, so I put up a post about this situation and my feelings about it.

Look, this stuff is nothing new.

When the Nazi crematoriums were uncovered by the Allies, Gen. Eisenhower--who had Jewish blood--ordered that as many photos as possible be taken by his troops as these camps were liberated.

He knew that visual proof would be needed not just then, but through the ages, to prove that these atrocities actually happened--

Because without visual proof, nobody would believe what took place at these camps.

And now, through the decades, we have people who are so ignorant that they believe the camps were simply propaganda to make the Jews look good, to gather sympathy for them.

As far as I know, my family was pretty lucky.

I believe that all my family was able to get out of Eastern Europe before Hitler took over, but they had witnessed many atrocities in Poland, Russia and elsewhere that happened to them simply because they were Jews.

But growing up, my father told me never to mention to my grandmother about one of her brothers who never came to America.

I knew my grandmother had one brother here, but there was another brother who was unaccounted for, and I do believe he perished during those horrible years.

He was never talked about, never spoken about, and I was told not to bring him up.

And I didn't, but I was curious.

Yesterday, Israel finally brought home the final hostage, which Hamas didn't help to return, as they had promised, and Israeli forces located.

There is a sense of relief that his remains are finally home, but the Internet remains filled with an increasing amount of vile words and imagery related to the Holocaust and the current Israel-Hamas altercation.

So like I said, I got fed up with trying to answer these imbeciles, and I posted the following.

If you haven't read it yet, please read it, and if you saw it yesterday, read it again.

Those who deny the atrocities committed by the Nazis and Hamas are sick people indeed.

"I have never dealt with such ignorant, stupid people in my life as I have recently when it comes to Israel and the retrieval, finally, of the remains of the last hostage, Ran Gvili, an IDF soldier whose dead body was taken hostage by Hamas, and never formally returned to Israel as Hamas had been instructed to do by the ceasefire plan.

Some imbeciles I have dealt with say it was actually Israel's fault that it took so long ... some say that Israel prolonged the retrieval so that they could bombard the area once again ... some said he was not a real "hostage," because he was a member of the IDF.

One even said his body was buried under the tiny bones of babies killed by the IDF during their strikes on the area.

Yes, I know I am dealing with pro-Hamas groupies and the completely uninformed and uneducated here, but I think that this proves once again that since the world--except for the United States--pretty much abandoned Israel after the October 7, 2023, massacre, and still does, that Israel had to do what it had to do to get back the hostages and fight against this terrorist organization that so many imbeciles seem to love.

Has the United Nations ever officially condemned the actions of Hamas on October 7, 2023?

How many countries have backed Israel in its efforts, amid all the nonsensical propaganda that Hamas has thrown out to the world since that fateful day?

One person even said, on Facebook, that the Holocaust never existed, "or maybe 270,000 Jews perished, not the 6 million, that has been reported."

Another fool said that Anne Frank never existed, that she was basically a creation to add sympathy to the Jewish "plight."

This makes me angry, and the world should be angry, too ...

Even though it is obvious why they really aren't.

I could go on and on about this subject, but I will just stop it right here.

I wish I could stop all the hatred right here, too, but that is a task that is way beyond my capabilities.

But posting this message, it is perhaps my only way to describe what a very, very sick world we live in right now."
