For millions of people across Europe and America... the proper response to the slaughter of Jews is apparently to belittle it
To get a taste of the humiliation and fear of those far-off times, though, you no longer need simulation.

Substitute Palestinian for Babylonian and the road to Gaza City for the way to Rome and it’s all there. The hulking Hamas conquerors — crème de la murderous crème of a brutalized society — leer at the young Jewish women, who sit bound, battered, and bloodied. They taunt the girls, pay homage for their victory, and then cart off the wounded captives in triumphal procession.
It’s traumatic, blood-boiling viewing — and this is just the censored version, that shows none of the graphic violence of the assault on the IDF base.
You sit there in sheer impotence, raging at the blindness of the top brass who sent soldiers to the Gaza border and then refused to listen to their warnings that Hamas were up to something. You think of the madness of women serving in combat positions where they’re uniquely exposed to horrific male violence, and you rage against the Israeli elite’s progressive mania that pushes this growing trend.
