1. Allowing anti-semitism to increase and flourish is what caused the holocaust.  One basic lesson is not to tolerate it and vigorously protest. 



2. A horrible double standard has pervaded  Middle East discussion.  Jews have been vigorously persecuted in Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq and others (note these countries have thereafter suffered severe economic problems.



3. The countries which suggest Israel compromise borders and security would likely do nothing if israel were attacked, and the world did little when Israel was facing annihiliation from 5 countries in 1967 and a sudden attack in 1973.  France which trumpets various peace plans readily gave up its Jews during World War II, with thousands who had been good citizens sent on trains to Nazi Germany.  Farrakhan and others consider discussion of this irrelevant and time-consuming.  



4. We do need to recognize that in our lifetimes others will suffer and that it is our moral obligation to help and speak out.
