Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It

Is this the reason why so much history is re-written today? Is it as simple as people have simply forgotten the lessons of World War II and World War I? Maybe it is time of for a global history lesson. We are certainly going down a slippery slope with regards to anti-Semitism. You can read more here. I will be doing a piece on anti-Semitism and what I experienced in Spain in 2002 soon.

University of Michigan Gets What It Deserves

I can't believe that David Horowitz was actually allowed to speak on one of the most Liberal college campuses in the country. It is astounding really. I really hope that he got the message out. It is too important. Sadly, it sounds as though he had less than 100 people in the audience. Read more below. This is a small victory for Freedom of Speech. At least the University of Michigan let him speak. There is no denying that anti-Semitism is on the rise, especially in Europe. Read more here.

Denial

The articles below are exactly what I meant by the dangers of revising history and using it for political advantage. People keep trying to pretend that anti-Semitism can only be found on the fringes of world society. The articles below refute that idea well. I've never really talked about it here, but during my semester in Spain in 2002, I was surprised to see the ferocious anti-Semitism there. It wasn't just fringe groups in Madrid or Barcelona either. From all of the advertising and from what I witnessed on a daily basis, it appeared alive and well in the smaller town of Caceres. It turned my stomach and the stomachs of the other Michigan State students as well. At the time (2002), it was far from anything you'd find on a college campus in the United States. It is sad to think that six years could see such deterioration. I'm not sure if most U.S. college students would care anymore.
