Q:
Should one who ordinarily does not watch TV, should he have made an exception and viewed “The Holocaust”?
A:
My opinion is that he should not. Because if one should make an exception, he’ll make two exceptions. If a person steels himself against the temptation of television, he’s a lucky person. Once you begin yielding and saying, this is different and that’s different, a lot of things will be different.
Now, “The Holocaust”, I didn’t view it, but I can tell you that it actually was a very great understatement. It left you flat, it left you with a feeling of lack of appreciation. Now some people were stirred by it. But that stirring is not enough. Now, you’ll say a little bit is better than nothing? You know, once you fill your mind with substitutes, then the real thing will never find a place in your mind. If you want to study the Holocaust, I suggest reading a big book called “The Destruction of European Jewry”.
“The Holocaust” was played by actors, and they had in mind that hundreds of thousands of German Americans will be viewing it. It was toned down. It came nowhere near the truth. We should realize the horror of Nazism, the horror of the Holocaust was something that nobody can imagine. You couldn’t portray it on a film.
While we’re on the subject, I must express the indignation of the Jewish people, at least the sensible Jewish people, against the American Civil Liberties Union. They’re all Jews, who want for the Nazis the right of legality – one of the greatest crimes in history. The ACLU, it was the Jews who fought.
Now listen. There were Jews in the ACLU who also were just the same patriots for the Constitution, and they said that it’s not constitutional. There’s William Kunstler, who was a heel, a low character. He defended murderers of Jewish people, and he got them off scot-free. But even Kunstler understood that this was unconstitutional, to give the Nazis the right.
So even though you’re a patriot of free speech, you could have seen it in the light of the others. But to be such a super patriot that you have to fight against other people who say it’s not constitutional, and you declare it constitutional, until you finally win for the Nazis the right to march, that’s the greatest folly and the most extreme wickedness that could be. If you ever get a chance to knock the ACLU, you should make it your holy business to do so. These are the worst kind of traitors.
If the American Constitution actually does give Nazis the right to march, then I say to H-e-l-l with the constitution. The constitution is not more sacred than human life. If it’s such a constitution that gives Nazis a right to march and to preach what they preach, then we don’t need the constitution.
But actually there are so many in the ACLU who argued against the constitutionality of this, so why should these people have fought for the Nazis? It shows that these people have lost their identity with the Jewish people. They’re more gentile than Jews, and therefore they have no responsibility, and for the sake of chanfinin, of flattering, licking the boots of the gentiles, they went ahead and showed they’re more American than the Americans are.
Believe me, many Americans, many goyim were surprised when the Nazis won the right to parade.
