Antisemitism and hatred towards Jews is out of control in this country and nothing is being done to put an end to it by government officials.

Agreed and these same govt officials have made it possible for a peaceful loving and kind person that prays near an abortion clinic to be charged with hate crimes, etc. and see prison time. They will have to give an account in the hereafter.

They certainly will. I hope they repent before it is too late

If I see this in my city I’m not going to just idly stand by and say nothing. Not sure what I’m going to do but I will not be silent and still.
NOT going to watch this happen again!!!!!!

I’ve thought the same thing. I keep thinking about the holocaust and how I would never want to just sit idly back. I would hope I would risk everything to be a part of the underground resistance. We shall see if it gets to that. I can’t imagine Mike would do nothing either. We have both talked about dying for our faith but of course thinking about it is very different than doing it. We shall see.

It makes me sad to see what is happening in the USA in every aspect of life, even this one. You would think we would all remember the Holocaust. I know we all learn about it in school so it’s mind boggling to see the antisemitism.
