Holocaust? No, it can't happen here...
Famous last words of German Jews prior to Kristallnacht: "No, it can't happen here..."
American Jews, ever so comfy, say the same thing today. With oil up to $120/barrel and the value of the dollar down by over 30%, with a waning economy and increasing unemployment, it's only a matter of time until the ground really starts burning under the feet of American Jews. Why? Whenever a nation's economy gets squeezed, it's blame-the-Jews time. Besides, Hashem wants his American kinderlach here in Israel, exchanging their golf and country club membership for a true Torah lifestyle. Since the destruction of the Holy Temple, whenever Jews have it too cushy in the Diaspora, the mad dogs of antisemitism start barking and ultimately bite. Two prime examples are pre-Inquisition Spain and pre-Holocaust Germany. America really fits history's template like a glove. Now, with the Pollard #2 (suspected spy Ben Ami Kadish) affair hitting the fan, you can really expect some serious anti-Jewish animosity in the USA.
Thanks to our Emuna Outreach staffer in Alabama, Cookie Dalton, you can here a segment of my comments on the gathering clouds of American antisemitism from my latest broadcast on Israel National Radio:
