The Holocaust and the Misdirected Criticism of a Brazilian Jew against Conservatives in Europe and America
By Julio
Severo
Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, when the world stops to remember the Holocaust and its victims: 6 million Jews murdered by Nazis.
Osias Wurman, who is the honorary consul
of Israel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, rightly said, “If a rebuilt Jewish State
had existed, in the 1930-40s, this genocide would have never been accomplished.”
Then he added, in the Brazilian newspaper
O Globo:
“Today,
more than ever, it is necessary to warn the world public opinion about the
dangerous change of course rightward that has been ravaging Europe and some
nations in the American continent. A global poll, held in 2014, found that 46% respondents
had never heard about the Holocaust!”
Mr. Wurman makes an impossible comparison.
He seeks to equalize the conservative change of political course in Europe and
probably in the United States with indifference to the Holocaust. In a worse tone,
he has said that this change is “dangerous,” and he talks about the need to
warn the world against the change rightward that is “ravaging” Europe and probably
the United States.
In fact, the same left-wing militants who
see “danger” in the rightward change have been accusing U.S. President Donald Trump
of being Adolf Hitler. Do all the Jews agree with the Left? No. In an interview
to WND (WorldNetDaily), Anita Dittman, who lived through the Holocaust as a
Jewish girl in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s, has a message for those who
think Trump is the American Hitler, on this International Holocaust Remembrance
Day. “When they say he is another Hitler, they are crazy,” Dittman told WND.
Mr. Wurman seems to support the Left. But
the European and American Left has consistently opposed the State of Israel.
If, as Mr. Wurman implies, the existence of the State of Israel is important to
avoid a Jewish genocide, it follows that the Left wants such genocide.
Meanwhile, the “dangerous” conservative
change, especially
energized by evangelicals, brought Donald Trump, who has clearly shown his
support to Israel. In fact, some months ago, the
Sanhedrim asked Trump and Putin, who is also a conservative, to rebuild the Jewish
Temple in Jerusalem.
The Sanhedrim would never be comfortable
at making the same request to left-wing leaders.
By helping rebuild the Temple, would Trump
and Putin be encouraging people to forget the Holocaust? What “ravages” and “dangers”
could their conservative actions bring?
I concede that there are some individuals
in the Right who adhere to dangerous and even anti-Jewish stances, even if
discreetly. In Brazil, where Mr. Wurman lives, some quarters of the Right have
been influenced by an
esotericist who is anti-Marxist and an advocate of the strange idea that the
Inquisition was a myth and legend. He denies the Inquisition in the same
way Muslims and neo-Nazis deny the Holocaust.
Hitler, whose
political propaganda was anti-Marxist, was seen as “right-wing,” but actually he
was an esotericist who would have had no difficulty to deny the
Inquisition.
Yet, Mr. Wurman has not exposed or
denounced the Inquisition advocacy in the Brazilian Right. He has occupied
himself with fanciful threats: he has denounced the alleged danger of a Right
in America that is supporting Israel!
Trump has a Jewish son-in-law and he has
been a friend of Israel. So Mr. Wurman’s disturbed criticism is misdirected. It
should not be directed indirectly to Trump and other conservatives. It should
be directed to leftists in Europe and America, who are helping the Islamic
invasion in their nations, at the expense of the security of the Jewish
citizens, because most Muslims hate Jews and love Hitler. Mein Kampf, Hitler’s
autobiography, is a bestseller in Islamic nations in the Middle East.
And Mr. Wurman’s disturbed criticism
should be directed to deniers of the Inquisition, because to deny the
Inquisition is like to deny the Holocaust. It is to deny that Jews were innocent
victims of systematic persecution, torture and murder.
There is no justification for Mr. Wurman
to accuse indirectly Trump or other conservatives, who are being attacked by
the Left.
But there is much justification for him to
accuse rightists whose pro-Inquisition stances are not lambasted by the Left
and the Right.
