I am a Jew. I also am personally embarrassed that my people meekly allowed themselves to be systematically stripped of their citizenship, their rights, (the Nuremberg Laws) their property, and ultimately their lives while showing no effective or organized resistance. As I have been told and have read, the attitude was that the "good" Germans would not allow this to happen, so if they kept head down and didn't annoy the Nazi's, it would all be over when the German people returned to their senses... My response is BULL FECES! - to deny the evidence of one's own eyes is utter stupidity. If you are going to die anyway, resist with all your might, for you may prevail. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Look at today's Israel. - a nation of little more than eight million surrounded by a hostile mob of hundreds of millions. And why does that mob not overrun Israel? They know good and well that they will be resisted with the full might of Israel's militay, its civilians if necessary, and even if they are defeated, the "victors" will have won a pyrrhic victory, and there will be nothing left as "spoils of war". Modern Israel has fully adopted the philosophy of Masada, and will never again meekly line up for slaughter. It now looks as though European Jewery may finally be undergoing a similar epiphany, and recognizing that they alone are responsible for their own protection. Maybe the Chosen People are realizing that G_d helps those who help themselves.
