After seeing The Pianist, I refused to watch another Holocaust movie that portrayed Jews as helpless victims. If one guy could do what Szpilman did and survive, we had absolutely no right being portrayed as sheep led to the slaughter by the jokers in Hollywood. No more would I contribute to a culture of victimization. Yes, the Holocaust happened. Yes, there are many lessons to be learned from it. The number one lesson that victimization films don't teach: Jewish people can fight and win and survive.
I know that scares a lot of people (including self-hating Jews who fill the halls of Hollywood and the MSM). Need proof? Check out CNN's review of this Friday's release Defiance [hat tip: Atlas]:
The timing is unfortunate. For a story that has gone neglected for the best part of 60 years, this is hardly the ideal week to be extolling heroic Jewish resistance fighters.Bite my kosher tuchus.
In the film, Tuvia Bielski, played by Daniel Craig (not a Jew, to my knowledge, but an excellent actor, so we will be nonetheless glad to adopt him as one of our own), declares to a group of escaped Jews who fled into the forest to escape death at the hands of the Nazis that they would fight by staying alive. And that is what they did.
Man, does that piss people off. We survive, we dare to breathe and they hate us for it. What did Tuvia Bielski do? He told the Nazis and the rest of the world to deal with it. 1,200 people and their descendants later, we're still winning.
Despite the outbreak of world-wide jihad.
Despite the 300 British academics who demand Israel lose this war.
Despite Olmert, Livni, Barak, and their pansy "10-day unilateral cease-fire":
12:24 AM According to this evening's cabinet decision, the IDF will remain in Gaza till the rocket attacks on Israel cease. According to Hamas, as long as the IDF is in Gaza, they will continue their rocket attacks against Israel (and they have been continuing their attacks all night)We have the right to live. We have the right to survive. We have the right to defy world expectations and demands.
No commentary needed.
Do we need to wait for our neighborhoods to be terrorized, our homes to be looted, our children to be dragged into the streets and shot in order to remember that we have rights?
We have a nation and an army and we're still caving into world pressure! WHAT'S THE DEAL?!
All I can ask of my people at this hour is, What Would Tuvia Bielski Do?
Wouldn't you do it, too?
