There's no nacht like Kristelnacht

A pair of Hasidim were videotaped being tormented by street toughs so of course there is a Jew out there who thinks its 1939 all over again:



Sure its unfortunate that the Hasidim were accosted, but can we be real for a few seconds? Snowballs aren't bullets. The victims of this attack would have had the police on their side, and a nice warm place to recover in safety and security. Also, they're living as free citizens of a Jewish state. To compare this brief altercation to the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto is lunacy. (Also, its a little arrogant to expect the news media to cover a snowball fight, even when its as one-sided as this one was.)

Mrs. DovBear has a birthday coming up, and the readers of this blog are buying her a present. Please toss something in the hat.
