[...] For half a century the horror of a million Jewish children murdered by
the Nazis stopped the mouths of the anti-Semites, but that memory has
worn off. [...]
Ich, ich dulde dass du rasest, Du, Du duldest dass ich atme, wrote
Heinrich Heine of the relationship between Gentiles and Jews in 19th
century Europe: I tolerate your rage, and you tolerate my breathing.
Things have changed. The crime of the Jews today is to breathe, and
especially to breathe the air of their own country. As the body count
rises, enlightened opinion once again will blame the Jews for breathing.
Muslims will continue to engineer humanitarian disasters (as in the
last Gaza War) to solicit Western sympathy, and European governments
will attempt to placate their growing Muslim populations by blaming
Israel.
The difference between today and the 1930s, to be sure, is
that Jews are armed rather than defenseless. I am weary of excusing
myself for breathing. Let them hate us as long as they fear us.
