“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Wherever There Is Jewish Pain… – Buttons of the Jewish Defense League

The History Behind the Buttons of the Jewish Defense League

For the Jews of Eastern Europe, America was the Golden Land. Offering unparalleled personal and professional opportunity, America was the antithesis to the relentless persecution and discrimination in the Europe they fled.

Jews embraced America and were welcomed by it. They took full advantage of the sense of fair-play and merit-based opportunity and thrived both in financial and social arenas.

However, increased acceptance also meant abundant opportunity for assimilation and intermarriage. Many Jews became American and at the same time lost their unique Jewish identity and sense of kinship with other Jews. This phenomenon became so prevalent that in 1964, Look Magazine featured an article entitled “The Vanishing American Jew”. (1)

Also in the 1960’s American society in general was undergoing great upheaval as ethnic and racial groups began to militantly agitate for a greater share of prosperity. One response of all levels of government to this was to institute quota systems. The goal was to guarantee proportional representation in such middle class jobs as civil service and teaching regardless of merit. Jews accounted for a large proportion in these professions and their numbers were significantly reduced by quotas.
