WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

Back then, a group of Jews put their heads down. They hurried across a bridge.They were in a rush because a group of Nazis were yelling at them. Not content with one vociferous insult, they added another--they greeted the Jews with a "seig heil," which is illegal in today's Germany.

Back then, there was the Jewish Quarter with its marketplace. In it were items for sale, anti-Semitic trinkets. You could buy a button with a swastika on it. You could purchase a figure of a Jewish man with a large nose and coins glued to his body. If you needed a magnet, there was one showing a Jewish man as a beggar. Then there was a wooden paddle with a cartoon picture of Jew on it with the words, "I'll guard your money."

Back then, while a group of Jews was heading home from a synagogue service, a gang attacked them. One of the Jews felt a sharp kick in the back as he stooped to tie his shoe. Back then, The descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had to flee.

Back then, a passerby shouted, cursed, and shoved a rabbi's wife. The anti-Semite told her, "Get out!" As others looked on, it was clear--no one cared. Nobody helped the Jewish lady. Although there was a police station nearby, the Jews were told, "No use to report it," and no need to ask for protection. It wasn't to be forthcoming from those in power back then.

BACK THEN?

Back then? How far back? What you've just read, the shouts of "seig heil," the trinkets for sale, the rough-handling of the rabbi's wfe, and the pervasive no-one-cares-attitude were not culled from the history books. All those events occurred to a Jewish tour group around Christmas, 2017, in, of all places, around Auschwitz  . . . in Poland. It's not Nazi Germany, it's now. Violent anti-Semitism is today's news in Poland.

WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

In 1965, Peter, Paul, and Mary sang a protest song in which the recurring refrain was "When will they ever learn?" Poland was a hotbed of anti-Semitism prior to and during the Nazi era. "World Future Fund" reports:

  • In 1936, the Polish government ordered that all shops include the name of the owner on their sign.  This order marked out Jewish businesses.  Attacks on Jewish businesses surged after the marking order went into effect.
  •  
  • In May 1937, the membership of the Polish Medical Association adopted a paragraph into their professional charter excluding Jews from the medical profession. 

  • Also in May 1937, the Polish Bar Association adopted a similar measure.  This was followed by official state action in May 1938 restricting the ability of Jewish lawyers to attain licenses to practice law.
  •  
  • In January 1938, the General Assembly of Journalists in the city of Wilno added a provision to its by-laws stating that anyone Jewish could not belong to their organization.
  •  
  • In April 1938, the Bank Polski, the Polish state's largest financial institution, adopted a provision excluding Jews.
  •  
POLAND SUFFERED

The Polish suffered the heaviest proportionate human losses during World War II, amounting to 16–17 percent of its population. The number of ethnically Polish victims was as high as 2,000,000.

Although the Polish people and leaders have no idea where their irrational hatred of the Jews originates, we do. Although the Polish people and leaders had no idea where those restrictive laws came from, we do:

Satan has tried to wipe out the Jews through the Babylonians, the Persians, the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Hittites, and the Nazis. But he’s failed every time because God is not finished with Israel. Romans 11:26 tells us that some day all Israel will be saved, and this can't happen if Israel no longer exists. 

Therefore, God will preserve the Jews for the future He has promised them in the Abrahamic, Palestinian, Davidic, and New Covenants, just as He has preserved them throughout history, until His plan comes to pass. Nothing can thwart God’s promises for Israel and the Jewish people.

 Revelation 12 shows the worldwide ages-long hatred of the Jews is satanic in origin. The Bible also says that those who do not give Israel her rightful place in God's plan will be cursed by God. 

 SO?

 So that's our question to the rulers of the world and their followers: When will you ever learn?
