Proud Europa: Never Again
Alas, a most sincere & despondent alas, why would this—Juden-link—surprise anyone? Anti-Semitism has been on the rise in Europe for years, for my whole lifetime or more. This anti-Semitism has been tolerated, coddled & encouraged even, as long as it has disguised itself as anti-Israeli sentiment, as opposition to "Zionism" (in these cases "Zionism" doesn't refer to actual Zionism, but is a code word for all Jews everywhere). When "respectable" opinion embraces the old prejudices, who can be surprised when the fringe hatemongers read between the lines that they've been given the "all clear" to spew their vitriol? Do not be surprised the next time you read of a high-profile European politician commenting after a horrific act of anti-Semitic violence, "This is terrible, of course, but one has only to look to the crisis in Palestine before one realizes that the Zionists have in a way brought all this upon themselves."
The United States must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the State of Israel, because no one else will. People of good will everywhere must mobilize to fight the deep well of anti-Semitism in the Muslim world & to check & reverse the renewal of anti-Semitism throughout Christendom. Never again can we stand & hold our peace as the pogroms & the expulsions begin again; never again.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Leaving on a Jet Plane" from Have a Ball (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: 'Tis still true after all these years: Were I to see a girl wearing a short skirt & a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes T-shirt & drinking a Jones Soda, I'd ask for her hand in marriage on the spot.
"A short skirt,
A Gimmes shirt,
A Jones Soda,
Ain't life grand?"
