I must admit I’m really not all that smart. This won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who knows me, but what the people I am closest to have figured out is while this is true, I am blessed to be able to see things coming that others don’t. Again, it’s not intelligence, it’s sort of knowing what prism to look through. Let me attempt to explain in hopes you can understand what I am trying to say. For decades during the heyday of the NBA under David Stern, I had a sense of how the playoffs would play out. I won’t get into it here, but suffice it to say the people I told about this made tens of thousands of dollars over the years betting those playoffs by following my prognostication. Not smart, just knowing where to look.

I mention that because this week is Yom Ha’shoah and across the world memorials will be taking place in most every city or state where Jews reside. Yom Ha’shoah commemorates the destruction of European Jewry during the Second World War commonly referred to as the Holocaust. The Nazi’s enacted a program which led to the death of six million Jews including 1.5 million children. It is a somber event and sadly with the passage of time, more eyewitnesses who lived through the horror, leave this world. My dad was one. He passed away eleven months ago at 93.

I suppose this is not going out on too much of a limb, but you can mark my words that wherever there is a Jewish presence in America or anywhere else outside of Israel, there will be protestors causing a scene and trying to disrupt the event. Not much of a stretch, I get it. While that is a low-class disgusting display in its own right, it will get even worse. How can it get any worse, you ask? You can be sure some of the loudest in the crowd amongst the protestors, will be Jews. Try and wrap your head around that for a moment. Relatives of victims who perished at the hand of Jew-hatred, will be protesting memorials being held for their murdered grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I would venture to say some will be wearing Kippot on their heads and maybe even a talit. But they will be there, and joining forces with the enemies of our people. They say the size of your funeral usually depends on the weather. But rain or shine, the size of the anti anything Jewish crowd does not. They will be there full throated and causing consternation to all those who attend the solemn reflective event.

I truly hope I am mistaken about this, but I’m not too optimistic. For some reason the Jewish anti-zionists are out in full force this........
