This is how it began in Nazi Germany.

First it was harassment, then protests in the street, it then evolved into extermination as state policy.

Angry, foolish, hateful mobs egged on by simpleton Jew haters.

It was almost bound to happen.

Antisemitism has been a part of our world for thousands of years, going back to Egypt’s enslavement of the Jews by the pharaohs.

Europe witnessed antisemitism over many years, especially in France, Austria and Germany. Indeed, there were actually antisemitic political parties in those countries in the late 19th century. German Jews were killed here and there in the early days of the 1930’s, and Antisemitic protests were often supported by the intellectual classes and college students of Germany.

However, there was never the mass and organized attempt at their annihilation until the rise of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism in Germany.

Anti-Jewish propaganda was thrown about by the Nazis and their supporters to stir up anger and then hatred.

More and more, German Jews were frightened to go to class, or to restaurants, or take public transportation.

More and more came the painting of "Jew" or "Juden" graffiti as well as the Nazi swastika on Jewish owned buildings.

Does this sound familiar?

The Nazis — National Socialists — were once regarded as a fringe organization, a loose collection of left wing haters in the early days

Then came vandalism. Then violence. Then a night of broken glass when dozens of Jews were killed.

With the rise of National Socialist Adolf Hitler came the organized hate. He was the detestable socialist, antisemitic who brought it all together.

As Hanna Arendt wrote in her brilliant book, "The Origins of Totalitarianism," antisemitism has often been used as an organizing tool of the left as in the case of the Soviet Union. Indeed, she has an entire chapter titled "Leftist Antisemitism."

"When Hitler came to power, the German banks were already almost judenrein (Jews were missing from their ranks) and German Jewry as a whole, after a long and steady growth in social status and numbers, was declining so rapidly that statisticians predicted its disappearance in a few decades."

The end result was the mass extermination of six million Jews and millions of other "undesirables" including homosexuals and the infirmed.

Nazism — National Socialism — has always been a leftwing ideology. And was, and is often associated with the upper and so-called educated classes.

Liberals over the years have falsely smeared conservatives as being antisemitic, the irony is that conservatives have been steadfast in their anti-socialism views and have fought for the existence of Israel and its sovereignty.

The reality of history shows the left being more closely aligned with overt nationalism and antisemitism — they see it as a means to control the masses.

Hillary Clinton recently and falsely attacked Donald Trump as a Nazi.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Someone needs to teach this ignorant woman her "isms."

She is a collectivist, just like the liberals leading today's antisemitic protests, just like the liberals smashing Jewish businesses, just like Nazism, a collectivist philosophy.

Menachem Begin, the great former prime minister of Israel, called Ronald Reagan Israel's best friend.

No Jewish leader ever said that about Barack Obama, the provocateur who empowered the terrorist state of Iran.

Today’s antisemitic mobsters, all on the left, are tomorrow’s Brownshirts.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Cori Bush, D-Mo., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and other sympathizers of Hamas and their extermination of Jews are followers of other monsters of history.

They are their ideological and behavioral equals.

They have embraced despicable policies.

The textbook definition of socialism is the state controls the means of production and distribution. These are the new followers of hate as a state policy.

History does indeed repeat itself.

Today’s liberals are yesterday’s National Socialists.
