Anti-Semitism Rises Again
It honestly seems as if rhetoric around every minority ethnic group is escalating beyond anything I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’m on the mailing list of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that is dedicated to charting hate, and the president Richard Cohen was alarmed about the following comment:
“Torch SPLC after sealing all the exits and covering them with riflemen. Screw Morris
Dees and the rest of those lying Jews!” ― March 8, 2010, Internet posting
It was followed up by this:
The Web posting above is just one of many threats we’ve detected since we alerted law enforcement officials and the country to the explosive growth of militias and other radical, antigovernment groups. We’re committed to the fight against hate and will never back down.
…
The last time we saw this kind of activity, militiamen plotted to attack SPLC with a bomb like the one used to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City.
Is history going to repeat itself?
