I'm Jewish, but I'm not orthodox. I'm not a Torah literalist, -not a Jewish activist. I go to temple (synagogue) twice a year. Most of the Jews I know in the USA and London are just like me - they don't want to impose their religion and values on others, but they have a very real connection to the cultural history of our people.
I have been the object of hate from small minded bigots who think my religion makes me evil or corrupt - especially when I was younger.
Clementine scares me because he is proof that there are people who have the capacity to hate you deeply before meeting you, without knowing you. It is from this seed of pure stupidity and hatred that a modern, free nation slides into barbarism. See Germany in the '30s. All it took was a severe economic depression and a powerful political movement that was able to exploit that desperation with fear. God Help Us.
Holocaust Museum Statement
The Museum calls on public figures and citizens to avoid condemning today’s refugees as a group. It is important to remember that many are fleeing because they have been targeted by the Assad regime and ISIS for persecution and in some cases elimination on the basis of their identity.
God help us.
