From Hitler To Now: The Evil Of Demonizing Jews And Other Scapegoated Targets

 Hitler tapped into one of the most evil forces that can flow through the arteries of humanity. The need to have a target to hate. The need to have a target to demonize. The need to have a scapegoat. The need to have an external enemy to blame all things on. 

And so, one of the most advanced, developed nations in the world, followed a small minded Jew hater. A war that Germany could never win following the likes of Hitler. The military mistakes of Hitler and the Nazis are well known. The diversion of resources and manpower to commit genocide further hindered the German war effort. Genocide and destruction was what Hitler and his Jew obsessed followers desired. When it was all over, almost all of the mass murderers spent the rest of their lives unpunished. Few were ever held responsible for their crimes. They tortured, performed live medical experiments on humans, raped and killed with impunity. They killed unarmed civilians, babies and children, rarely blinking an eye. 

Many in Germany and Europe were only too happy to go along with the Nazi killing campaign as long as it was the Jew being killed. But killing never ends with the despised enemy only. Killing and genocide are unstoppable rivers of blood. It starts with the Jew and target of hate, but never ends with the Jew and target of hate. 

With over 50 million killed, with the extermination of over 90 per cent of Europe's Jewish population, with millions of other people considered inferior murdered, Hitler sat in his bunker as the Russians were closing in. Was there any remorse? Any regret? No. Jew haters are an unapologetic lot. Right to the end, hitler blamed the Jew for his defeat. Jews that had no army, no military, no means of defense. And so the mass murderer, with no remorse, blamed the Jews for all of his own terrible mistakes and deeds and for everything else, and then took his own life rather than face the consequences for the enormous evil he committed.

2021 and onward, will anything change? The need to scapegoat is as strong as ever. The need to demonize is as strong as ever. The need to have an external enemy to blame is as strong as ever. 

The evil in the form of hatred for Jews is as strong as ever. Some disguise it as hatred for Zionists, their way of pretending not to hate Jews while still desiring the destruction and genocide of the one small nation in the world holding over half of the world's Jewish population. They use the word Zionist as a negative word. By dehumanizing and delegitimizing the human beings of Israel, and reducing them to a word that they use for negative connotations, it legitimizes their hatred and desire to destroy the small state. They delegitimize and demonize the people of Israel and then hide behind the excuse that it is Zionists or Israelis that are hated, not Jews. There is a world of difference between criticizing and opposing the policies and government of Israel and seeking the destruction of the entire state. All governments should be open to criticism and scrutiny. But seeking a countries complete destruction is nothing less than a call to genocide. 

Nazi propaganda made Jews out to be the worst of creatures. By inciting and fueling hate, it became easy to take the next step and commit murder and genocide. Israel is an imperfect state. But the propaganda against Israel, turning average Israelis into demons, makes it easy to pursue the very real genocide that many seek. Some delegitimize the people of Israel by casting them as not being real Jews or as being something evil like nazis, and therefore a people that must be destroyed. The delegitimizing and demonizing of the people of Israel makes the road to a real and lasting peace near impossible to achieve. Instead, it opens the door to genocide. 

The Jew hater finds a thousand ways to blame Jews for everything bad. Some of the Jew haters find it in theology, as they make up distorted, twisted evil narratives about the religion of Jews. Judaism is one of the originators of the belief that whoever takes one life it is as if they destroyed all of humanity, and do unto others as thou would have others do unto you, and the ten commandments itself, these basic principles of Judaism, are completely disregarded by the Jew hater, who instead creates evil false narratives about Jews meant to stir up hatred and incitement and the murder of Jews. 

Some Jew haters conveniently blame the Jew for communism and bolshevism and the mass murder that resulted from both, even though Jews themselves, along with practicing Christians and others, were persecuted by Bolsheviks and communists. Millions of Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and other people born of different religions willingly embraced the destructive ideology of communism, an ideology hostile towards all religions. For every Jew that became a communist or Bolshevik, there were countless Christian born people that became communists or Bolsheviks. But the Jew hater wants to conveniently blame Jews for everything they see wrong in the world. For everything they despise, there is the Jew for them to blame. There are Jew haters convinced Jews are to blame for globalization, for illegal immigration, for bad weather, for high deficits, for the wars raging throughout the world, and for anything and everything the Jew hater despises and opposes.

Jew hatred is a human weakness. It is an evil. Needing an enemy to blame for everything is evil. What results from this hate, when combined with the ability and means to act out the hate, is genocide.

And so, since World War 2, genocide and ethnic cleansing, which the world swore would never happen again, occurred or is occurring - in Cambodia, in Rwanda, in the Congo, in Iraq and Syria to Yazidis, Christians and moderate Muslims and others, in Northern Nigeria to Christians, in Darfur to black Muslims, and in many other countries and places. 

It is easy to hate and find excuses for those that hate. It is hard to change those that demonize and hate. This is a heavily populated world. More countries are on the way to acquiring nuclear weapons. If people do not fight for a worldwide outbreak of peace, if people do not resist the urge to scapegoat and hate and act violently towards those that are scapegoated or demonized, then the future is very bleak.
