This is the 88th anniversary of “Kristallnacht” or the Night of Broken Glass in Germany in 1938. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels stoked a nationwide orgy of violence or a “pogrom” against Jews. It is estimated that 1,500 synagogues were ransacked and burned. Jewish-owned businesses were also targeted. Over 7,000 businesses were looted. Jewish homes were also attacked. At least 100 Jews were murdered. At least 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps in the aftermath. In the weeks that followed, Jews were banned from German public schools, universities and most of the nation’s economic life.
The evil spirit of that night of horror is rising again in cities throughout Europe and the U.S. A coalition of Marxist anti-Semites selected this weekend to conduct a campaign of intimidation against Jewish restaurants and markets in Philadelphia, the so-called “City of Brotherly Love.”
The main group promoting this hate fest is called Philly Bike on Your Left. They are supported by a group of “intellectuals,” including Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza. And no surprise, the Philadelphia chapter of Democrat Socialists of America ran a “No Appetite for Apartheid” campaign on its website. They “cobranded” promotional material for the harassment of Jewish-owned businesses on their website.
Politicians in the state from both parties have condemned the event, including Governor Josh Shapiro, himself a Jew. I am glad that elected officials spoke up, but it is too little, too late.
Anti-Semitism has taken deep root in Philadelphia’s schools, unions, universities and culture. Governor Shapiro has looked the other way rather than confront the growing hate in the state’s largest city.
There is one encouraging sign. Large crowds gathered on Sunday to support the Jewish-owned businesses that were targeted. The cowardly Jew-haters were confronted and fled saying they were concerned for THEIR own safety!
The Hate Fest Revs Its Engine
“Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands. His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today.”
That is how the current House majority leader and likely future Speaker of the House, Hakeem Jeffries reacted to President Trump naming Miller as his new Chief of Staff to replace Susie Wiles.
Leader Jeffries’ statement is vile. It reeks of hate. He compared Miller to a cancer that should be eradicated. This is more proof that the Left intends to crush anyone who believes in normal conservative ideas. Miller, his wife and their children have been forced to live on a military base in the D.C. area to protect them from constant death threats by the radical Left. The Left did murder Charlie Kirk and routinely mock his death. They tried to murder Donald Trump and conservative members of the Supreme Court. Leader Jeffries has signaled someone should eliminate Stephen Miller.
Increasingly, the left intentionally promotes an assassination culture aimed at Christians and conservatives. I recently interviewed Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life. She regularly visits college campuses to make the case for the sanctity of life and against abortion. She is subjected to constant harassment and threats to her physical well-being by unhinged leftists. She has to be protected by multiple security guards.
The Left wants all of us who have provided leadership in this battle to always be looking over our shoulders for the unhinged killer.
