Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, as they say; 'my fault, my fault, my own most grievous fault.'
I've become very disgusted with what I see as a rebirth of Fascism in the modern world, it mutating into more subtle forms, but even outright reboots of previous groups as in the Ukraine and elsewhere.
I see it because a little over a decade ago, I was sufficiently 'right-wing' enough that I was quasi-fascist in my political thinking myself. And at the time I had even less excuse, because I believed that I was part Jewish myself. How could I be a self-hating ethnic Jew?
Now I know that I'm not Jewish, at all. Family research indicates otherwise, the immigrants from eastern/central Europe in my background were Sorbs/Lusatians from Eastern Germany, leaving the 'Kingdom of Prussia' for the USA in the 1860's. I didn't want to be part Jewish when I was a traditional and anti-semitic Roman Catholic, and now as an Orthodox Christian, I'm not Jewish at all and yet i'm devoted to the people of Israel and her security, among other ideals. To stand with Israel is to stand for civilization and for Humanity and for Almighty G-d.
Ironies and contradictions. So many lives were lost to the Satanism of the Nazis, and now we have a revival in many places, including the 'Islamic State'. We must not allow this sick slaughter to happen-to anyone-ever again.
I recognize that many will always mistrust and disagree with me and what I say might fall into silence, on deaf ears; 'What good is this man's testimony?' But I feel the obligation nonetheless.
