When Christmas comes, we hope for rebirth of truth and love, man for man, from the story spoken time after time to children who hear other (hate) words and wonder if it's true that Jesus Christ is the Savior and King of the Jews. Throughout history, the world despises and slings venom as dung for every ear. Truth matters not; that God held Jews above every man. Jealousy reigns and envy turns to bile. During that "War of all wars," one man, blinded by hate and driven by evil, screamed death and power.The German people were victims of lies, repeated ad nauseam, that force creates a perfect race, a just cause for killing the Jews, the lame, the old, the blind, "useless humanity," he called them. But destruction snares those who hate and justice reigns where hearts are true. Heroes are born and demons are crushed. After the horrors of war, a peaceful era when many learn to respect the Jews and deplore the deeds of one vile man. Only fools applaud evil or excuse atrocities fueled by hate. NATO restored their land, re-established the Jewish nation in 1948. Some resisted, and fought against them. Why can we not embrace the truth - that every man deserves life, free from wrath? The time has come. It's long overdue, Let us see it for Jewish and Christians alike. For now, the misguided hate us too. We stand together against prejudice.
