Tough Jews- Holocaust 2

Tough Jews- Holocaust 2 ‘As the cops were combing the streets for Lepke, Nazis were boycotting and tagging Jews in Germany, persecution that were maybe not well-known in the rest of America but was talked about in Brooklyn. Most Jewish families still had family in the old country and the bad news came in letters which grew cloudier and cloudier before the letters stopped coming altogether. In a time when the leaders of the West still hoped to strike a deal with the Fascists (I have never seen those words before in print- But have plenty of circumstantial evidence of that being the actual intent of British foreign policy in the lead up to the Stalin Hitler Pact of 1939- The reality was that in terms of ideas Hitler and Great Britain and USA saw Godless Communism as the bigger threat to world peace and following closely on WW2 that became the story line up to 1990-Ed) gangsters were among the few who understood the enemy. When asked by Burton Turkus what he thought of the situation in Europe, Reles said ‘It’s a clinch’ “what do you mean a clinch?’ ‘they are just the same combination’ said the Kid. ‘We are out to get America in the pocketbook. When we have to we will kill people to do it. Hitler and Mussolini they are trying to do the same thing , only they are trying to do the whole world. And they kill people by the millions to do it’. The gangsters were the prototype of a new kind of Jew, the sporty, all terrain model that would emerge from the ashes of World War Two (These words here explain why the author has written his book-Ed) Men like Lepke and Lansky were among the first Jews to know the truth about violence, that people pity the victim but yield to the victors. Long before the Holocaust they knew about learning how little it means when jackboots hit the landing (At the recent China Olympics I was mesmerized by the Chinese women in jackboots lining the track as the nations marched past-Ed) These men were not religious in the go to the temple keep the Sabbath way but they were Jews. The best of them knew there was no running away, that you either become more of yourself, running to your identity, or you become nothing Jonah fleeing God. As the war came they understood Nazis in a way most law abiding adults could not. They knew what men are capable of, how far someone like Hitler would go and they knew it could not be fought with reason or treaties or sanctions. The gangsters who cared about getting rich knew some things were not about money. They knew the only way to deal with Nazis was the way you deal with them on the street. Not only would this win admiration from kids like my dad but it had a sound intellectual underpinning that it is hard for someone who has just had his lip split to believe he is superman. ‘We knew how to handle them’ Meyer Lansky told Uri Dan (Israel’s top journalist in the 1970s) ‘The Italians offered help. I wouldn’t accept. I must say I enjoyed beating up the Nazis. There were times when we treated some big Anti-Semite in a very special way, but the main point was to teach them that Jews cannot be kicked around’ p189-190 ‘Tough Jews’ Rich Kohen New York 1998. I began this New Year with a prophecy recycled from 1988 Rick Joyner and added to it by way of comment that when you are working with the last person you ever though that you would ever work with- You have achieved what we need going forward into a situation which in human history has never happened before but a careful reading and understanding of the Hebrew text of the Bible would confirm is what it is all about.-Clear as Mud as my Editor would say! Here and in a following tomorrow post we have New York gangsters effectively closing down the Nazi connection in New York and then keeping the water front moving working with the Italian gangsters and US Intelligence keeping ships safe in an extremely cost effective manner. And - Operation ‘Abandon New York’ Will -Once Again perform even greater miracles. In Nov I tried to read and didn’t make it- a book about Jason Borne in Hong Kong written at a period of history where I was present in that city as a missionary. Then on Xmas Day I picked up - original not edited as later editions –Book about Jackie Pullinger of Hong Kong ‘Chasing the Dragon’- And she is literally doing unthinkable things with the worst 14K gangsters in the whole of China/World. Let me now repeat: No ifs no buts- when you are working with the very last person you ever though in this world you could be working with - Well you are discovering The Real ‘Kingdom of God’ paul.
