March 22 is the anniversary of the opening of one of the most deadly and infamous Nazi death camps. Less than a century later, genocidal antisemitism is still claiming victims, and this time, much of the West is on the side of the neo-Nazis.
When Dachau opened in 1933, it was the first Nazi concentration camp to hold political prisoners, according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia. Between 1933 and 1945, there were almost 190,000 prisoners incarcerated in Dachau, and 28,000 of them died just between 1940 and 1945. There were quite a few unregistered prisoners killed in the camp as well, historians believe, and as the only camp to operate throughout the whole period of Nazi power, Dachau was truly at the center of the Nazi plans for exterminating political and religious opponents, especially Jews.
During World War II, Adolf Hitler made an alliance with Muslim Arabs, who hated the Jews as much as he did. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who later mentored Yasser Arafat (the inventor of the “Palestinian people”), and Hitler shared the goal of preventing the Jews from reclaiming their ancestral homeland of Israel. Almost a century later, the Nazis are gone, but their Muslim allies have grown stronger than ever. Many of the same Westerners who claim to hate Nazis are in total empathy with the Islamic Jihadis who are trying to commit the second Holocaust.
We saw this most clearly with the Hamas-Israel conflict, which began with the worst day of slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust (Oct. 7, 2023) and continued through two years of terrorist groups bombarding civilian targets throughout Israel. It ended with the revelation that Hamas murdered most of the hostages but were rewarded for the massacres with lavish payouts from the Palestinian Authority. Throughout that conflict, thousands of Western activists protested in support of the Palestinians, while multiple governments recognized a state of Palestine (which has never existed). To top it off, the Board of Peace headed by the American government will be sending $10 billion of American taxpayer money to Gaza.
That same refusal to acknowledge the threat of genocidal antisemitism is evident in many governments’ and organizations’ reactions to the joint U.S.-Israeli operation against the terror-sponsoring Islamic regime of Iran.

European nations that rely on the United States for protection and financial bailouts self-righteously complained that the operation was an outrage. Even those that were not openly critical refused to provide any assistance. The United Nations and every global body that continually supports unjust wars immediately began screeching about the need for peace. Foreign-funded leftist activists took to the streets of U.S. cities with pre-printed signs condemning war with Iran, as if the Iranian regime had not been at war with us for half a century.
In fact, it is absolutely true that there was more global outrage at the United States and Israel for taking on the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism than there was over that sponsor of terrorism massacring over 40,000 of its own people in January. Persian freedom protesters were some of the only people who consistently supported Israel throughout its recent war with Hamas, and now Israel is returning the favor.
But the Persian freedom protesters are the exception. The tragic truth is that genocidal antisemitism is still far too prevalent around the world today, 93 years after Dachau opened its gates.
