This guy drew an important parallel between Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany and Islamophobia in 2016.
A Jewish man who emailed a London radio show on Holocaust Memorial Day last week said we should honor the victims by making a stand against growing anti-Muslim feeling in the Western world. "Jews, more than anyone, need to stand up for the Muslim community", wrote Josh.
He made reference to the popularity of bigots like Donald Trump, pointing out that the fact we laugh at him instead of being horrified by his beliefs shows just how deep-rooted Islamophobia is right now. Josh wrote:
Josh called for all Jewish people to stand up against what he called the "vile rubbish" against Muslims in the press, and asked people to "leave the Middle-East nonsense to one side for the moment."It feels like we're descending into a society that is happy to say 'No Muslims.' Just look at what is happening in the States with that lunatic Donald Trump. We simply cannot tolerate this. We need to remember that not long ago it was us [Jewish people] who were on the receiving end of this treatment, and we all know where that ended up."
Comment: A big thank you to Josh and to the author of this article, Sophie McAdam, for expressing so succinctly what we endeavor to continuously state here on SOTT. Needless to say, if more people understood this objective and conscience-filled point of view, many millions of people in the world would not be in the dire state that they are in.
