Seventy six years ago, within just one day, the entire citizenry of Germany turned against the Jews.
Some 90 Jews were killed in the eruption of violence. Anti-Semitic violence in Berlin was fuelled by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister.
The glasses are not those of Berlin’s commercial shops, like 76 years ago, but those of the Israeli cars smashed by Arab stones and Israeli train stations smashed by Arab cars.
Jews are not deported to concentration camps any more. Yet - without making a comparison to Nazi horrors - they are arrested and deported from the Temple Mount, the most holy site in the world for the Jewish people.
And Jews, like they were 76 years ago, are killed in Jerusalem just because they are Jews.
There is another similarity with what happened 76 years ago. The Jews are blaming other Jews for the violence plaguing them.
Today some Israeli Jews blame the “right wing public” for terrorism in Jerusalem, including the rabbis, activists and MKs who want to pray on the Temple Mount, Har Habayit.
I stand with the heroes who, like the boy who dared to enter the German embassy in Paris 76 years ago, today try to enter the Temple Mount.
