We, as Jewish people, lost six million
innocent men, women and children
for no other reason than that we were
Jews. We can never allow this to hap-
pen again to anybody else — no matter
their religion, race or nationality. We are
the defenders of those who cannot help
themselves. The Jewish people must
be the spokespeople for the world —
speaking out against hate and division.
Can what happened during the
Holocaust happen again here?
I have concern, but I don’t believe the
people of the United States of America
will allow this to happen here. I feel in
my heart that most people are kind and
good and they will stand up for justice.
They will never allow what happened in
Germany to happen here.
I look at the rallies and all the people
who are coming from everywhere
to speak up — no matter what their
religion, skin color or nationality. I’m
encouraged that high-ranking military
members stood up against the violence
in Charlottesville.
We must be vigilant. Six million
perished because of people like David
Duke. We must make sure this will
never happen again. •
on the “Weathermen” of the
1970s, who were responsible for
numerous acts of violence.
They claim to be using
“counter-violence” in defense
against the violence of neo-Nazis
and Klansmen, but that is not
true. They also use violence to
shut down speakers with whose
worldviews they disagree: They
include not only right-wing
extremists, but also mainstream
conservatives, moderate Zionists
and even some liberals. They
reject dialogue in favor of intimi-
dation and force.
As a liberal, I will not give
these hard-left violent bigots
a pass. It is true that the Nazis
and KKK are currently more
dangerous in terms of physical
violence than hard-left groups.
(It is also true that the most
violent groups by far are radical
Islamic terrorists, who are not
the targets of Antifa protests.)
But the violence of racists on the
right (and radical jihadists) must
not lead us to ignore the reality
that Antifa and its radical allies
pose real danger to the future
of our nation because of their
increasing influence on univer-
sity campuses, where our future
leaders are being educated. The
recent events in Charlottesville
and elsewhere have made them
heroes among some mainstream
liberals, who are willing to
excuse their anti-liberal bigotry
because they are on the barri-
cades against fascism.
It’s far too easy to self-righ-
teously condemn your political
enemies when they step (or leap)
over the line to bigotry and vio-
lence. It’s far more difficult to
condemn those who share your
wing, whether left or right, but
who go too far. But that is what
morality and decency require, as
Buckley taught us.
So, President Trump must
stop being even-handed in his
condemnations. He should focus
his condemnation on extreme
right-wing bigots who speak and
act in his name, and leave it to
those of us on the left to focus
our condemnation on left-wing
extremists and bigots. •

MJAC Endorsed Film
Faithkeepers
I welcome Deborah Park’s endorsement
of the remarkable film Faithkeepers in
the Aug. 17 issue.
Ms. Park mentions the lack of “Jewish
organizational” support “except for ZOA
sponsorship and Hadassah promotion.”
I would add to that list the Michigan
Jewish Action Council (MJAC), a new,
local organization that endorsed the
event.
If readers are troubled by the posi-
tions of the Jewish organizations who
ignored Faithkeepers and feel that their
policies may even be antithetical to our
Jewish community, they are encouraged
to visit our webpage at mjac.us, or fol-
low us on Facebook.

In “Squeezed Out” (Aug. 17, page 10)
there was an error. Arlene Frank’s
Detroit home value has risen 1,500
percent since she purchased it, not 15
percent as originally reported.
