THE HOLOCAUST IS OVER WE MUST RISE FROM ITS ASHES

little, too little, was said and written about us. We, like any other nation, arevulnerable to the same danger, changing for the worse, but most of us do not discussit. The sons of Korah still rule undisputedly in the Jewish and Israeli identitymechanisms. When a Jewish rabbi defeats Israeli sovereignty, the danger is clear. Theautomatic holiness of the ruling classes establishes here in Israel a state that is run byKorah’s modern priests. Such a state is Jewish first, democratic second. It is a stateof distorted Torah, especially when based on national superiority, contempt for othersand belief in an unrestrained Jewish race theory. When I close my eyes and imaginethe future, I see the nightmare of a Halakha state that might, God forbid, work here,if the false messiahs succeed.Some say that only a Jew is allowed to be anti-Semitic, because he knows why. Iam worried, because I know why. I come from there, and my relatives and friendsare still there. I listen to their talk, know their ambitions, and feel their heartbeats. Iknow where they are headed: to the Mount Temple and to conquering the land frominside. In the next few years, we will see them bring more and more messianicredemption promises to the military ranks, junior and senior; to the political system;the economy, the newsrooms and Israeli public opinion. Their representatives alreadycontrol one-sixth of the Likud constituency. It is beneficial to listen to the wishes ofrabbis and soldiers who prophesy this. The mirrors are placed before us. Whothought Hamas would democratically defeat the Palestinians’ historic secularmovement? Who thought American Christian fundamentalists would have such a tightgrip on the American president and his administration? Everyone who had thought thiswas impossible is invited to rethink what may happen to us here. The fundamentalsare already founded, the preachers already preaching and public opinion is receptive.I have an open war with these people, but I do not have enough partners and allieswho would alarmingly understand that Nazi Germany, too, was human. It was indeedevil and malicious, but still within the human realm. They were sons and daughters ofEve and Adam, who perpetrated the deeds of the allGermanic nation, and yet theirexplanations, too, are human. From there and then, to here and now: in Germany,slow processes altered the perception of reality to the degree that insanity becamethe norm, and then we were exterminated. It happened in the land of poets andphilosophers. There it was possible, and here too, in the land of the prophets. Theestablishment of a state run by rabbis and generals is not an impossible nightmare. Iknow has difficult this comparison is, but please open your ears, eyes, and hearts.
