God said to Abram, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:2-3)

It must be said, and loudly. Antisemitism is a cancer on humanity that, unfortunately, will persist until the Messiah returns to set things right. Even so it must be repudiated with every thought, resisted with every muscle.

And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.” (from ‘The Monsters are Due on Maple Street’).

It must be said now, ‘lest history revisit its worst moments…
