The hollowness of Jewish Holocaust defense apparatus is evinced by the public's complacency towards effecting justice for L.A.'s Paul Kessler, 69. Mr. Kessler was killed for carrying an Israeli flag alongside an anti-Zionist rally by the Muslim Society of Simi Valley on 5 Nov '23. The case against his alleged killer, Jordanian immigrant, Loay Alnaji, is up for trial before April with no Jewish establishment activism or public intervention.

Under the grey skies of Auschwitz, on the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation, Ronald Lauder’s words carried the weight of history and the urgency of the present. Speaking in the shadow of the gas chambers where over a million Jews were murdered, Lauder’s address was not merely a commemoration—it was a warning.

“We don’t want our past to be our children’s future,” Lauder declared, invoking the haunting words of Holocaust survivor Roman Kent. But as he surveyed the current state of the world, Lauder admitted that such hope seemed tenuous. “If Roman Kent were here and saw what’s happening to the Jewish people around the world in 2025, he would cry.”

Lauder’s speech was not limited to recalling the horrors of the Holocaust. It was a call to vigilance against a rising tide of antisemitism—one that is not confined to the fringes of society but is increasingly mainstreamed. And it was here, amidst the solemnity of Auschwitz, that Lauder addressed the uncomfortable truths that much of the world, Jews and non-Jews alike, seems reluctant to confront.

But despite 'leaders" professing for years that we ought to prevent such Jew-hatred from recurring, the response to its resurgence since October 7, 2023, reveals a devastating truth: neither Jews nor gentiles have truly learned, nor not yet effectively applied the lessons of the Holocaust to thwart its resurgence.

The Silence Surrounding Islamist Antisemitism

Lauder’s address pointed to the “step-by-step progression of antisemitism” that led to Auschwitz. It began slowly, he noted: Jews excluded from universities, boycotted in businesses, and vilified in the media. It culminated in the unthinkable. Today, he warned, the signs are disturbingly similar.

Among the most insidious modern manifestations of this hatred is the antisemitism propagated by Islamist movements. Groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood espouse ideologies steeped in a supremacist hatred toward Jews and Zionism. They cloak their agenda in the language of resistance and liberation, but their objectives—the annihilation of Israel and the subjugation of Jews—are unequivocal. Hamas, in particular, has made no secret of its goals. Its charter explicitly calls for Israel’s destruction, and its actions—from launching rockets at civilians to orchestrating terrorist attacks—are a grim testament to this ideology.

Yet, as Lauder alluded, much of the world remains silent. The mainstream and social media often downplay or ignore the overt antisemitism of these groups. Instead, they frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a binary struggle between oppressor and oppressed, erasing the complexities and ignoring the genocidal rhetoric of Hamas and its allies.

“Silence and indifference—that’s what led to Auschwitz,” Lauder reminded his audience. He recalled the world’s muted reaction to Kristallnacht in 1938, an event that signaled the beginning of the Holocaust. “When Hitler heard that silence, he knew he could do anything he wanted with the Jews.” Today’s silence in the face of Islamist antisemitism, Lauder suggested, risks emboldening those who seek to harm Jews and dismantle the Jewish state.  (Article continues).

Hundreds celebrate Hanukah at site where L.A. Jews defended synagogues from Islamists

Jews re-assert autonomy at the scene of an Islamist riot in front of their synagogues six months ago.

As recounted by Daniel Greenfield in JooTube six-months ago, 2024, after the spring college semester, the Islamo-Marxists who disrupted the Univ of Calif, Los Angeles and Univ of Southern Calif campuses set upon a synagogue on Pico Boulevard. Police did not separate the protesters from local Jewish counter-protesters and bedlam ensued. At least one Jewish man and one Arab were arrested in what became labeled the Adas Torah Pogrom.

In this video, Daniel Greenfield, editor of FrontPageMag.com/ThePoint is shown in June criticizing officials, both municipal and Jewish communal, who enabled the hostility in front of several synagogues with only limited police control.

On Sunday, December 29, the Chabad Lubavitch synagogue and school on Pico Blvd resumed its annual public menorah-lighting and concert on the site that, months prior, Islamists had marched around declaring, "Whose streets? OUR streets!" The Jewish families who came out for Chanukah outnumbered the number of protesters in late June. 

We spoke again with Daniel Greenfield, an expert on Islamic Imperialism in the West. We raised concerns regarding insufficient protection and the local government's response to these threats, with critics calling out both Jewish and law enforcement leaders for their failure to prepare adequately for future events. 

Our dialogue advocates for increased awareness of Islamic anti-Semitism, improved cooperation between Jewish and Muslim communities, and stronger federal actions to protect Jewish individuals, especially in places of worship. The overarching message underscores the necessity for proactive measures and heightened vigilance in addressing the rise of anti-Semitism.

Two years ago, the Mensch Int'l Foundation awarded JooTube a Mensch Award for providing (now 20) years of unique Jewish video-journalism service to the public.
