First Sentence

"The war against the Jews goes on. [and the next sentences are]: Jewish children are shot in their beds, and the shooters are celebrated as heroes. Jewish teenagers are blown up, and the mothers of their murderers celebrate. Elderly Jews are burned to death, and the killers gloat on their websites. And hundreds of millions, from Pakistan to Morocco, have nothing better to do than to chant for the death of the Jews. If there was one thing to learn from the 20th century, it is that when people consistently say they want the Jews dead, they may really mean it. And when the rest of the world looks the other way, or pretends not to hear, the killers take silence for acquiescence, and acquiescence for concurrence, and concurrence for support. Yet in our generation the Jews are quite capable of defending themselves with power of their own, and that confuses the issue."
