(56,103 posts)That Otto Frank, what coward, right?! He like so many other Jews should have stayed in Germany and defeated The Reich!
What about all those "losers" on the southern border of the US "swarming" into our country? They should go back and make their totalitarian/disastrous governments more stable instead of fleeing? Whill they be "real" US citizens or only until their country acts right, then they will go back?!
Unless you are a minority under threat, you don't get it. As a gay Jew, I can tell you, my JEWISH family has considered what we might do, and as a gay married man, my husband and I have talked about possible escape routes. It is easy to be so cavalier when you aren't part of what could be the first wave of attacks. Look at what is happening to CITIZENS now?! The attack on "birthright citizenship" could easily turn into an attack on naturalized citizens!
You really should use phrases you do NOT understand, especially in order to condemn someone's whose family was directly affected!
Your "liking" of how he presents his information is irrelevant and immaterial to the subject at hand: many minorities, Jews, queer people, some Blacks, Latinos, even Asian-Americans are fearful and many of us are looking for a way out if the worse arrives at our doorstep. Jews have learned from the past....most will NOT hide us in their attics, no matter if they claim they would now.
"First they came for they Jews, and I said...BUT ISRAEL and FREE PALESTINE!" That is a reality as well.
