On the week of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, rabid pro-Hamas radicals in Amsterdam and the USA are proving that too many Westerners do not know even recent history and are terrifyingly repeating it.
Pogroms in the streets. “Wanted posters” of Jewish intellectuals. Windows shattered on Jewish businesses. Mass protests calling for the genocide of Jews. These are not only scenes from Nazi territories and the Holocaust in the 20th century but from modern-day America and the Netherlands, as well as too many other Western countries. Within living memory of the horrific Nazi Kristallnacht pogroms, we are seeing the same organized antisemitism that led to genocide unfolding before our eyes.
Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass is so called because of how the Nazis smashed the glass windows of Jewish businesses and buildings over Nov. 9-10, 1938. Disturbingly, on the very anniversary of those attacks, a Washington, D.C., Jewish restaurant was vandalized — by having its windows smashed. PJ Media’s Sarah Anderson noted that the Char Bar’s owner had to board up his windows after the glass was shattered. Who ever thought a small-scale Night of Broken Glass could occur in America?
Even more dangerously, both before, during, and after the Kristallnacht anniversary, the Netherlands — once a scene of mass arrests and killings of Jews by Nazis — has made international headlines as Muslim migrants and other pro-Hamas rioters launched anti-Jewish attacks. The violence, which began last week with attacks that injured dozens of Israeli soccer fans, grew so horrible in Amsterdam with “Jew hunts” and genocidal chants that they were labeled “pogroms.”

Anne Frank and her family were among the Jews infamously murdered by Nazis in Amsterdam. Some eight decades later, Westerners and the Muslim migrants they welcomed in (Muslims whose religion teaches them to glorify jihad against Jews) chanted “cancer Jews” and waved Palestinian flags in Amsterdam. The so-called “Palestinians,” which is a name without historical basis applied to a conglomeration of Arabs in the 1960s, enthusiastically support jihadis who openly avow their plan to wipe Israel off the map.
Speaking of Westerners who support genocidal jihad, too many U.S. college campi continue to be hotbeds of hatred not only against Israel specifically, but against all Jews. At the New York University of Rochester, pro-Hamas radicals put up “wanted” posters featuring the pictures of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother and other Jewish faculty, according to The Times of Israel on Nov. 13. The posters repeated jihadi-issued “casualty” numbers and accused Israelis of “occupation” and “war crimes.”

These faculty were not Israeli, they were Jewish. This is textbook antisemitism. Reform has never been more needed at American universities. pic.twitter.com/jdMzlHEAr7
In actuality, of course, Israel was Jewish land a thousand years before Islam was even invented, the Arabs were already generously given territory to which they had no right (Jordan, Gaza, and “Palestinian territories”), and the only war crimes are those committed and still constantly attempted by Hamas and its fellow Islamic jihadis against Israelis since the Oct. 7, 2023, atrocities. Six Israeli soldiers were just killed while fighting Hezbollah terrorists. Yet U.S. college students side with the terrorists who attempted a second Holocaust?
Two Israelis were murdered when a Hezbollah rocket targeted Nahariya earlier this evening.

Hezbollah must be dismantled terrorist by terrorist, rocket by rocket, until Israelis are safe in their homes.
May the memory of the victims be a blessing.

The saying that those who do not learn or know history are doomed to repeat it has passed into a trope. But it is terrifyingly true. The Nazis and the Muslims were allies in WWII because both hated Jews, and that reality continues today with the alliance of woke neo-Nazis and Muslims.
Hopefully, with pro-Israel President Donald Trump returning to the White House and citizens in multiple Western countries finally realizing the threat of mass Islamic migration, we can stop the flood of hatred in time before it turns into a second Holocaust. We have seen where violent antisemitism leads, and we cannot go down that path again.
