Left in the Reeds

After a little research I see that the so called Jewish Center is the Chabad Lubovitch House almost at the southern tip of the peninsula upon which Mumbai rests.


Having heard of the ruthlessness of the attackers I held out little hope for those hostages that might have been held in the Naiman House. The Rabbi and his wife were among those murdered. The picture of this lovely couple somehow touched my heart. I know they are but among more than a hundred killed in the multi-pronged attack but the story of these religious people made the tragedy small scale enough for me to comprehend emotionally. I simply wept.

Fortunately their son Moshe was saved and he is well named. He was left in the reeds and survived.

Does Someone Want War Between India and Pakistan?

I want to condemn the attacks in Mumbai and in particular to note that religious war is a crazy idea! It is wrong to attack the Jewish Center because of a hatred of Jews or because of some sort of religious fanaticism.

We need to try and move beyond religious warfare.

Hopefully this sort of attack by those who declare they are doing it for some religious reason will not lead to communal violence against Muslims in India. Hopefully this will not lead to an escalation of hostilities between India and Pakistan.

Who, if anyone, would benefit between a full scale war between India and Pakistan?

NAZI AND NEONAZI INFLUENCE NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AND REMOVED

I was pleased to find this extensive web page about the history of Nazism and how it relates to the use of the Nazi SS Totenkopf emblem by Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I was aware that Schwarzenegger had described his father as a village policemen or something to that effect. This blog suggests, I think quite
appropriately, otherwise!

The mediocrity of evil does not dilute the evil done. It only makes that evil more vile and idiotic than it already was.

The blog is also a good education about some of the less discussed aspects of the Hitler Nazi ideology. While I realize Nazism can evolve into all sorts of less virulent things that call themselves Nazi I do not think we can expect delicious fruit to form from this poisonous weed.

Evil is as often mediocre and unassuming as it is obvious.

WE ARE BACK AND WE ARE NOT ROBOTS

For a while there this blog was down, why? I really don't know. I once heard a very egotistical Google dude talking about how to manipulate human behavior without being too obvious. So is that what we are dealing with here? Somehow some of the more controversial things I publish seem to get taken off the net for a while. They say they think I am a robot, a spam robot. This is generally original content friends and yes, I use the resources offered by the Google Account.

I am thankful to be back, even if I am suspicious of the less than transparent Google review.

A little human contact might go a long way to keep people using Google Accounts happy.

On the other hand the problem may be a little four letter word like c...
r....a....p? Or was it the word s-p-i- ...t?

I don't know why this blog was flagged or even if it was flagged by someone. Maybe they just thought it was a bot doing the writing. Yeah,
they use bots and I guess it may be a problem, but I have no reason to replace myself with a bot. I'm just a blogger with a wet brain, no computer chips here.

UPHOLD THE EXAMPLE OF THE WARSAW GHETTO UPRISING!

One of the most impressive examples of human rebellion against oppression by other humans is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It is a source of inspiration for all oppressed peoples in hopeless circumstances.

HATRED OF JEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWISH IS A BUNCH OF CRAP!

I grew up among Jews and they are wonderful people and like all people deserve all the basic human rights we all deserve. The fact that Zionism has emerged and has sought to save the Jewish people from antisemitism is understandable but stealing Palestine has not been just.

The holocaust was an unthinkable crime against all humanity. The stupidity and brutality of extermination campaigns like this is, again almost unthinkable. Of course other groups have been completely exterminated but it isn't a contest of some sort. Armenian holocaust, Jewish holocaust, the holocaust against native Americans, the holocaust-like nature of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. All these examples of holocaust remind us that "It should never happen again." applies to all groups as well as each individual one.
