Tough Jews- Nazis 3

Tough Jews- Nazis 3 ‘Oro Nazi groups began organizing in America in the mid 30s fueled by rabid Anti- Semitic, they had names like the German American Bund. Lanksy said ‘A pro Nazi organization that spread Nazi-style Anti Semitic slogans, they strutted around and made threats, like throwing Jews into concentration camps’. By 1939 the Nazi movement was strong enough to attract twenty eight thousand people to a rally at Madison Square Garden. Again speaking on this Lanksy said ‘I was always very sensitive to Anti Semitism but during those years other people also became worried. Important WASP’s (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) as we would call them now openly made Anti Semitic statements and some of the magazines and papers backed them. This worried Jewish leaders, including the most respected of all Rabbi Stephen Wise. He sent a message asking me to do something about this dangerous trend. Another Jewish leader who worried was a respected New York judge, an important member of the Republican Party. We knew each other and one day in 1935 he came to see me and said Nazism is flourishing in the United States. The Bund members are not ashamed to have meetings in the most public places. We Jews should be more militant. Meyer we want to take action against these Nazi sympathizers. We’ll put money and legal assistance at your disposal, whatever you need. Can you organize the militant part for us? When the Bundists held a rally that spring in Yorkville a German neighborhood on the Upper East Side Lanksy showed up with some friends. As they approached it must have seemed luike they had stumbled into Berlin, sneers and swastikas, raise arms thigh boots; ‘We found several hundred brown shirts the stage was decorated with pictures of Hitler. The speakers were ranting. There were only about fifteen of us but we went into action. We attacked them in the hall and threw some out the windows. There were fistfights all over the place. Most of the Nazi panicked and ran. We chased them and beat them up and some of them were out of action for months. Yes it was violence. We wanted to teach them a lesson. We wanted to show them that Jews would not always sit back and accept insults’…. After tis got heard about, I’d get calls from places like the Writers Guild to help with their problems with Nazi bastards. One time even a judge called me about a Nazi Bund meeting. I told him all right don’t worry about it so we were over there and grabbed everything in sight- all their bullshit signs- and smacked the shit out of them broke them up the best we could. No one could pay me for this work. There ain’t no amount of money to buy them kind of things’… since the Holocaust seemed inevitable those who ran it have the power of historical agents (Readers Beware. Some Prophets for reason of their own want to put the most negative-Evil –Satan Triumphs but we get Raptured to Heaven Spin on things. Read history and people have choice. Tokyo Earthquake 1923- sure it was bad but if people had cried out to heaven repented- Still bad but some would survive. Instead- The fires begin and the worst firestorms sweep the city so that sheltering thousands of people are dead when the fire over head sucks out all the oxygen! My point is this. No matter what happens or could happen- if you are in the event keep up a dialogue with our Master -giving a different result. Work With The Disaster ,overall commander –Lord of Hosts) the fact that people were doing things makes the event seem more manageable. You see people like me who were born long after Germany was defeated, the worst part of Holocaust was never the dead bodies; it was the way Jewish victims were portrayed … At recess I would walk up to Clay Mellon, biggest kid in our school, the bully who ran everything and say; ‘You stupid hole’ For people what Siegel did even if it were no more than a plan made me dismiss the qualification my father tagged to the story; ‘Bugsy was an outlaw a bad man’ p190-192 Tough Jews Rich Cohen New York 1998. In recent years Americans have built up as being a bad man someone we in the Islamic community continue to respect as our elder and a man who did what he could and was clearly at times a hero. Isama Bin Laden from Yemen. I say this because do take time to read the chapters around the paramount chapter 1 Samuel 25 and you can see another Tough Jew a Wanted Terrorist and his gang at times on the rampage doing all sorts of illegal style things hunted down by authorities. A wanted man from a town with the unlikely name House of War (Bethlehem) yet these days it is almost impossible to preach a decent sermon in a Jewish synagogue or Christian church which illustrates just how negatively people throughout Israel saw this David Gangster if they heard what he was doing and what the authorities were doing to capture him. And a more recent example. On the official Martín Luther King website you can read there a long court document which shows evidence given in court that the US government and most of its agencies going to the highest levels in government organized the judicial murder of known trouble maker –Dr M. L. King yet now no one from the current President down wants to be honest and say that now- Shalom.
