A Moslem Anti-Semite for President

[ Index of Articles ]

By Rabbi Eli Teitelbaum

While I don’t believe that any of the candidates running for president are Anti-Semitic, what’s to say that this can never happen? Anyone who has survived the Holocaust can tell you that Jews are not safe any place in the world. While America has been the best haven for the Jews in many years, one never knows what tomorrow can bring. Jews in Germany also felt very safe before Hitler, so did the Jews in Spain before the arrival of the Inquisition. All one chas v’shalom needs is for a radical mentally retarded Jew to assassinate the President and it could trigger the many dormant Anti-Semites to come out of hiding. It would be good for us to remember the mini-pogrom that took place in Crown Heights when one black child was accidentally run over and killed. It sparked rioting that few Crown Heights residents can ever forget. Hitler rose to power by popular vote. All it takes is a very dynamic charismatic speaker to convince the public of righteousness of his cause. Most people are very gullible and can easily be fooled into believing just anything.

The story of our exile in Egypt teaches us how quickly things can change. A new king suddenly rises in Egypt and all the good Yosef has done for the country is suddenly forgotten. There is one opinion that it was the very same king who had a change of mind. Jews must never forget this important lesson. The world is forever changing and there are still many Achmadenijad’s and his ilk’s around. Some even live in the USA and are members of the State Department. Some were even president, but at the time they carefully concealed their true face.
