What Hitler could not do


"What Hitler failed to do is going on today in the Diaspora" stated Yaacov Ne'eman, Minister of Justice of the State of Israel. From the podium of the Presidential Conference in Jerusalem, which was convened at the initiative of Israel's President Shimon Peres, Ne'eman sharply attacked the Diaspora Jews, of whom prominent representatives were present in the hall, and reiterated that intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews constitutes the realization of Adolf Hitler's goal. "The problem in the Diaspora is not conversion, is assimilation. Let's face the the truth, what the cursed Hitler could not do is now going on in the Diaspora, where a terrible assimilation is going on".

Intermarriage as the realization of Hitler's dream? Something is a bit odd here. Adolf Hitler was, to say the least, far from enthusiastic about mixed marriages. He expressed his clear opinion in the matter, not only in a long series of speeches full of hatred and venom, but also in a piece of legislation formally enacted on September 15 , 1935 and known as the "Nuremberg Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor": Moved by the understanding that purity of the German Blood is the essential condition for the continued existence of the German people, and inspired by the inflexible determination to ensure the existence of the German Nation for all time, the Reichstag has unanimously adopted the following Law, which is promulgated herewith: Marriages between Jews and subjects of the state of German or related blood are forbidden. Marriages nevertheless concluded are invalid, even if concluded abroad to circumvent this law. Extramarital intercourse between Jews and subjects of the state of German or related blood is forbidden".

Ten years after this infamous law was enacted, Nazi Germany was totally defeated and Adolf Hitler committed suicide among the ruins of Berlin. And three years later, on December 10 , 1948, an international gathering at Paris adopted a document which aimed at being the very  opposite of Nazi murderous racism - "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights",  enumerating the inalienable rights to which every human being is entitled - including Article 16: "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family."


The right to marry and to found a family without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion! Did you know that, Mr. Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman? And the State of Israel signed this document, already in 1949. What a scandal! Who was Minister of Justice then?
