A "half Jewish" (his words) man supporting the party of neonazis is difficult for me to digest.
The last time I wept was watching the 20th part of the BBC's "The World at War", entitled "Genocide". Seeing a dumptruck full of human beings deposited into an excavated pit like so many sacks of potatoes is difficult for me to ignore or forget.
Unlike Nate, evidently.
Jewish folks have been an incredible, integral, extraordinary part of my life's strange journey.
Folks who countenance oppression so long as they're not the ones being oppressed are vile, vile creatures.
Love for the human race and respect for history dictate that their perfidy not be ignored. The negative potentials of powerful human groups are often nothing less than horrific. Being awake to those negative potentials is the most important lesson of the many recurring arcs of history.
