The Jewish people have a very long history of being hated, targeted, and killed for their religion and beliefs. This is not hyperbole; it is fact. This is not sensationalism; it is realism. History is replete with examples of such hatred targeting Jews. Yet, there remain many Jews who fail to take their safety and security seriously. These Jews still rely on others for their safety. They incorrectly believe that everything will be okay. According to The Gateway Pundit on April 6, 2017[1]:
| In a violent attack causing trepidation amongst Paris’ Jewish community, a 66-year-old Orthodox woman, Sarah Halimi, was murdered to the cry of ‘‘Allahu Akbar’’ early Tuesday morning, pushed from the window of her top-floor apartment in Paris’ 11th arrondissement. |
This cowardly act of evil, racism, and murder is unacceptable. Jews cannot and must not accept this behavior in any form. Jews must embrace self-reliance. Jews must take ownership of their personal safety. This requires action, dedication, and training. Yet, so many Jews are anti-gun and anti-self-preservation! These same anti-gun Jews will readily throw out the words “Never Again” as if words alone will protect them from evil. This is the definition of cognitive dissonance which is defined as, “the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.” Guess what? Words alone offer no protection at all. They are just words. Hope is not a survival strategy!
If an elderly 66-year-old Jewish woman is being thrown out of a window it is time for Jews worldwide to wake the hell up and start realizing that the threat to your safety is real. Your very survival is at stake. Resist the urge to rationalize and justify why you think you are safe. This is an ineffective defense mechanism that you use to remain ignorant to the truth. Ignorance is not bliss; it is ignorant. Remember, there are countries and people who repeatedly state that they want every Jew wiped off the face of the planet. They are clearly telling you their intentions. There is no mixed message to interpret! As you can see I’m not going to sugar coat this issue. I’m not going to give you a nicely worded politically correct suggestion to the problem. I’m giving you an in-your-face answer! Why? Because you need to hear it. You need to embrace it. You need to wake up from your fairy tale slumber where everything is going to be okay. Now, is the time for you to embrace reality. Now is the time for you to conduct honest self-reflection to see if your belief system is in line with your very survival. This is difficult for many people. But if you fail to take this approach you may one day end up with a sharp blade to your throat wondering why the evil person holding the blade is preparing to behead you! But, it will be too late at that point. You will be just another dead Jew.
If this short article offends you I say, GOOD! You are my target audience. Too many Jews have embraced the victim role. There is no honor in being a victim! It is the losing end of a preventable situation. You must commit to survival! You must be the victor! This is not a difficult concept to understand.
What to do?
First, stop relying on others for your safety and stop embracing the victim role. Next, commit to learning new survival skills. Buy a firearm and receive quality training. Learn self-defense. Continually obtain new survival skills and then practice them over and over again. Refuse to be a victim.
Remember, “Never Again” are empty words if they cannot be backed up with action! In fact, if you do not take ownership over your safety, security, and survival you don’t deserve the right to say, “Never Again.”
