Worth Reading

By Diana Hsieh

Thanks to this week's Impromptus, I found this moving NY Times op-ed, Needing Israel. Impromptus also notes another attack on Jews in Europe:

In Kiev, “a mob of about 50 youths attacked the central synagogue, beating worshipers with stones and bottles and shattering windows,” according to the New York Post. The mob had marched down the boulevard shouting “Kill the Jews!” before attacking the synagogue last Saturday night.


Are such attacks really that different from those suffered in the years before Germany's "final solution"? Are the pathetic excuses and rationalizations for them all that different?

I'm very worried.
