There is a lesson the world can learn from Israel and the Jewish people.
The Jewish race was the target and victim of the most barbaric and destructive insanity imaginable: the attempted extermination of every last one of its 12 million members on the planet. The totality of the onslaught against innocent men, women and children will reverberate forever. The gassing and burning of over 6 million... screaming infants in sight of parents, loved ones in sight of helpless lovers, elders in sight of those who revere them...sunk humanity to its lowest level.
And out of the ashes, out of the stench of burning flesh, out of the chaotic mindless and devastating holocaust, out of humanity's shame and degradation, there arose not a hatred, not a call for retribution, not a counter insanity, but a wondrous resolve, a strength, a spine, that declares its life glorifying determination in but two words: Never Again.
The world about it breeds hatred and violence again. Its neighbors scream threats of extermination again. The nation of Israel breeds stoic and mighty power. And goes about living and thriving.
That is the lesson for the ages.
