Nazis Carrying Jesus Portrait Disrupt Arkansas Holocaust Remembrance Event

[Soph0571]

One of the speakers at the event, a World War II vet, witnessed the protest.

Sir Beryl Wolfson, a 96-year-old World War II veteran, was invited to speak at the event.

Wolfson says he saw the liberation of the concentration camps with his own eyes. He says he’s traveled all over the state sharing his story for a reason.

“Never forget, because it could happen again, and I’m trying to get this out to the people so it won’t happen again in any place, ” Wolfson said.

He’s unfortunately right. This problem only seems to be getting worse, and if history is our guide, this isn’t the end of it. One of the bigoted protesters even had a sign that said, “The Holocaust didn’t happen, but it should have.”

Bearing crosses, a large portrait of Jesus and Christian and Nazi flags, the protester’s anti-Semitic signs also included one reading “YHWH has the oven preheated.”

[tanyev]

1. Trump's inauguration emboldened all the racists to sign up for a national d**k waving contest.

"They did whut in Florida? Here, hold mah beer."

[olegramps]

10. Trump is their long awaited Fuhrer. I hope they all burn in hell.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. I hope they all burn here.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. Asking for historical awareness is a tall order

Growing pessimistic with age, I guess, because I'm finding little that inspires confidence.

[lindysalsagal]

3. And people can't understand why I'm an atheist....

IT'S ALL BULLSHIT

[Honeycombe8]

4. You gotta be kidding me.

Could they have those people kicked out, because it's a meeting for a purpose?

I am still shocked at this sort of thing openly happening in America. The comparison with Germany in the '30s.

So far, the sickness is confined to about 30%, which is far too many.

5. "Every non-White on the planet has to become extinct"

Billy Roper is the uncensored voice of violent neo-Nazism. Whether he's admiring the 9/11 attacks or discussing his racial ideals, this one-time schoolteacher isn't afraid to celebrate genocide and mass murder.

6. Jesus was Jewish you idiots!

[Wounded Bear]

9. One of the many things they ignore in their book...

[greymattermom]

13. That reminds me of the time I saw a priest

hold up a challah, saying that this is what Jesus had at the last supper. Really? Is was a seder.

[Cold War Spook]

15. It was the first night of Passover,

the Passover seder. Christians don't want it to have been, because everything that happened to Jesus from that night to the crucifixion, could not have happened as it is written in The New Testament. The priests would have been banned from any of it.

7. Emboldened by the Internet. It's not only trump.

We have a big problem, worldwide.

[Initech]

11. Also emboldened by Rupert Murdoch.

Every country that has a News Corp channel - same pattern of behavior. Rise in racism, hate crimes, a tendency to elect people who favor dictators and so on.

[Scurrilous]

8. ...

12. Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

When did the Nazis have America?

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "
