OPINION:
Last Sunday evening, I heard a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor speak at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
As I listened to his torturous odyssey, examined excerpts of his diaries and absorbed the intense emotion that emanated from this most remarkable of men, I found myself transported to a frame of mind that transcends one far beyond the valleys of present political thought.
When Kamala Harris labels Donald Trump a fascist and a petty tyrant, I cannot help but think of Holocaust survivors. As an American Jew, I am insulted by Ms. Harris’ offensive false equivalency.
The same people who label Mr. Trump Hitler-like spew propaganda reminiscent of 20th-century dictatorship. From the Democratic Party’s attempts to initiate gun buybacks and instate price controls to its appeasement of authoritarian China, the political left is angling for centralized control.
Unlike Ms. Harris and the Democratic Party establishment, Holocaust survivors are not consumed with self-pitying excuses designed to serve as a firewall against accountability.
The few survivors remaining often ask “Why me?” But they do so as a question intended to internalize gratitude, establish a plan of action and embody a purposeful existence.
After all, it is Mr. Trump who nearly eradicated Iran’s genocidal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and killed Qasem Soleimani, moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, abandoned former President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal and embraced the Abraham Accords.
On Nov. 5, our choice is quite clear. Ms. Harris is the candidate of communist slavery while Mr. Trump is the president of pure freedom.
