It appears as if the Jews are becoming increasingly concerned about losing the power they have in Western nations. We are seeing a rising tide of nationalist political parties and anti-Jewish sentiment throughout Europe. It is only going to escalate as the Jewish agenda for White genocide becomes increasingly apparent to more and more people.
The Holocaust didn’t start in Auschwitz, but in local European cities where Jews and their businesses were targeted for being Jewish, Knesset Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein said on Tuesday during a visit to Austria.
Edelstein attended a ceremony outside the Holocaust memorial in Vienna`s Jewish Quarter, where he was joined by Doris Bures, President of the Austrian parliament`s National Council, MK David Tsur (Hatenua), chair of the Israel-Austria Parliamentary Friendship Group, and Israeli Ambassador in Vienna Zvi Heifetz.
During his speech at a ceremony honoring Righteous Among the Nations, Speaker Edelstein said the Holocaust ”did not start in Auschwitz, Treblinka, Babi Yar, or any of the other myriad Nazi killing grounds. It began in cities when bricks were thrown through Jewish storefronts, when synagogues were desecrated, and when Jewish businesses were boycotted. And it spread because too many of those good people remained indifferent.”
”Today, we are gathered to honor a few of those people for whom indifference was not an option. Instead, they recognized that we all share a common humanity, a realization that led these common people to perform some incredibly uncommon acts of kindness and to willingly risk their lives to save another’s. Jewish tradition tells us that one who saves a life is considered to have saved an entire world—that person’s children and descendants on into the future,” he continued. “We cannot know how the world might have looked if more people had acted similarly to the Horraks, Niedrists, Prems, Thalers, and Anna Wimmer. But it is likely that there would have been tens—if not hundreds—of thousands of additional Jews living with us today, each making his or her individual contributions to improving this world.”
Edelstein also addressed the wave of anti-Semitism in Europe. “We cannot know the consequences of this rising tide, and we cannot afford to find out. Indifference to current events is not an option,” he told those on hand.
The Knesset speaker added, ”We are here today to honor the memories of those who perished in the Holocaust and commit ourselves to the simple exhortation `Never Again.` It is not enough for these two words to be a simple slogan, a catchphrase we pull out once or twice a year at memorial ceremonies. For us to act so those who perished will not have died in vain and for `Never Again` to have real meaning, we must draw our inspiration from the Righteous Among the Nations, some of whom we honor today, who every day made the choice anew to stand up for what was right and reject the rampant indifference around them.”
”By drawing on this inspiration for our individual and collective efforts to combat anti-Semitism, we can do our part to ensure that the coming year will be one of health, happiness, and security for us all,” he concluded.
