Anti-Semitism never gets old
Holocaust Remembrance Day came and went last month without comment here, so I thought I'd post this tidbit from the glory days of the Third Reich.
Vandals painted anti-Semitic graffiti on the walls of a Berlin synagogue and defaced Torah scrolls on Saturday in what Jewish leaders call the worst attack ever on the Jewish community in Germany.
About 15 armed attackers, who overcame two security guards, ravaged a Berlin synagogue. The vandals struck late Friday night and continued their assault until around 3 a.m. Saturday, vandalizing the offices of the German Jewish community's central organization, tossing Torah scrolls and other holy books on the floor, and leaving graffiti on the synagogue walls that read, "We don't want Jews here" and "Jews get out." The synagogue attack prevented Sabbath services from taking place.
Oh, I'm sorry, did I say "Berlin" and "Germany"? I meant "Caracas" and "Venezuela." Last week.
And, notwithstanding the fact that Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez condemned the attack, he expelled Israel's diplomats to show how angry he was about Israel defending itself against missiles launched from Gaza.
When Israel retaliated and expelled Venezuela's diplomats, they arrived home wearing Arab headscarves bearing maps of the region with Israel missing, erased, replaced by an all-Arab nation.
Anti-Semitism: always fashionable.
