Never Again? Israel’s mask mob echo the Holocaust
In January this year, a young woman went to the opera. ‘I just wanted to enjoy Tchaikovsky,’ she would comment on Telegram later that evening. That was not to be.
The woman, known only as M, has a medical mask exemption and arrived with her face uncovered. Soon after, she was violently turned upon by her fellow opera-goers.
‘There were about 400 attendees, about 100 of them were shouting at me (people physically blocking my way to my seats and not letting me through) people telling me not to stand near them and shooing me away,’ she wrote in her Telegram post. ‘A woman hit me on the head. I didn’t speak a single word to all these people, I was literally cowering in place and at no point did I speak or reply or gesture to any of them, after the initial blow up I just went straight to security.’
Thankfully, the security staff were supportive of M, moving away the more aggressive among the crowd and threatening to evict them. Some of the staff seemed shaken by what they had witnessed. They escorted M to her seat and stood guard at the end of her row throughout the performance.
This scene would be shocking enough had it taken place somewhere like Berlin, which has seen this sort of irrational out-group persecution by supposedly enlightened citizens before. It’s all the more disturbing that it actually took place in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Israel is a country awash with Holocaust memorials. Go for a hike in the Judean mountains outside Jerusalem, for example, and you will see dozens of plaques in remembrance of families lost to the Nazi atrocities. Yet when Covid struck in March 2020, Israel was among the countries that most enthusiastically embraced the harshest of public health measures.
Its citizens suffered months of lockdowns, business closures, school closures, mask mandates and the most insulting policy of all: the ‘green pass’ – a vaccine passport which segregated society into the ‘clean’ and the ‘unclean’. Deckchairs appeared on Tel Aviv beach labelled ‘reserved for vaccinated people only’.
The parallels with our history, only eight decades behind us, were striking and alarming, yet astonishingly the majority were content to sit inside warm restaurants during the winter of 2021, watching those who were unwilling or unable to be vaccinated turned away or shivering outside under inadequate patio heaters without a murmur of dissent.
It’s clear that Holocaust education has failed us. We learn that the Holocaust happened; we learn that millions perished at Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau; we see the images of the shoes stacked up, the treasure troves of wedding rings, the piles of emaciated bodies. We know they got there on trains. What we don’t know is how a supposedly enlightened society got to the point at which the trains were deemed acceptable.
We know that nearly 400,000 Jews died in the Warsaw Ghetto, but how many of us know why the ghetto was created? That it was a public health policy? When the Germans invaded Poland in 1939 and bombed Warsaw, the city’s sewerage system was damaged and typhus quickly spread. German propaganda already blamed Jews for spreading disease, so, although typhus was found throughout the city, it was the Jewish neighbourhoods that became ‘restricted epidemic areas’. Although by the summer of 1940 typhus cases were falling, German doctors persuaded the authorities to create a ghetto to prevent further spread. The creation of the ghetto, where overcrowding and lack of food were rife, caused a spike in cases.
Fast-forward to 2022, and not everyone was content to go along with the narrative. Some of us wondered how so many could be so blind to the history repeating in front of their eyes. What did those Tel Aviv opera-goers think they were doing when they mobbed M?

Timely questions, for all of us, but especially the Jews who have been blinded to the behaviors, choices and horrors their forbearers lived through and perished from.
Many non-Jews, have asked for decades, how the Jews of Nazi Germany (as Hitler's public speeches took an "us against them" turn) didn't see "IT" coming. They were unable to carry the truths they saw hourly, to their irrational ends.
Today, we have our answer, given over the past 2.5 years. The human tendency to believe, circumstances and persecution can get no worse, than what is being endured at the moment. So like Rabbits, we hunker down and plead to just be left alone, we'll agree to/do anything, but please leave us alone. So, we hand over autonomy, money, property, businesses, freedom of speech, dignity, dental fillings and finally life. All the while thinking, "it can't get any worse, who could do these things?"
M's experience is the other side of that coin and illustrates why ANY sector, group or society of peoples are susceptible to this. With VERY few exceptions, people will do anything to belong, to feel safe, to feel righteous, to be included in the majority. In belonging to the majority, you are "safe", in control of a given situation and able to project your fears, problems, anger and frustration on those labeled as OTHERS.
Goebbels understood this well and used it to great effect, labeling Jews as filthy, infestations of the pure German race; juxtaposing their caricatures with rats...vermin. They even were tagged with yellow stars, so the good Germans knew who to loath, abandon and ostracize. In Tel-Aviv, the citizenry have been taught the same lessons...the murderous Vermin do not wear masks and have no vax passport.
Although many of us would like to think so, Modern Jews are not immune to this indoctrination and subversion. They are no different than their pre-nazi German counterparts, who were facing national demoralization, financial crisis, governmental upheaval, international sanctions/pressures, fear and uncertainty in the aftermath of WW1.
The Germans of old, are not unique in this, as M's story clearly illustrates. Moa's China saw the rise of the Red Guards, Lenin had his Bolsheviks, Stalin had the Great Purge, Gulags and Dekulakization. All these required societies and citizenries to turn on one another and willingly separate, label and persecute (in many cases to death) their fellow countrymen.
This doesn't answer the how, right?
As with all things, we must look to the past, for our answers. There are numerous examples of the timeless principles, used by leaders, against populations and societies...but one of the clearest and most concise examples was written out in 1869, by Sergey Genadievich Nechayev.
https://www.marxists.org/subject/anarchism/nechayev/catechism.htm
The principles of The Revolutionary Catechism are the blue print, that underpins every activist movement past and present (to include Covid related mandates). To illustrate the gravity of Nechayev's writings, Lenin was reported to have said he is the "Titan of Revolution" and that all his writings must be found and studied. I am willing to bet, 99% of today's world population (who are victims of his revolutionary instructions), have never heard of him.
The answer to your insightful question "What did those Tel Aviv opera-goers think they were doing when they mobbed M?"...
They were doing what they saw as righteous and just, as taught by the radical movement. This movement, in modern times, knows no borders or national loyalty. You no longer need a Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao or Amin. The Globalist Elites (read orchestrators) see worldwide ideological battlefield, where victory is measured not by body counts and battles won, but by the level of control and subjugation they have over world populations.
The irony and astonishment of your observations is surprising. The last 10 years (and in a more concentrated blend, the last 2.5 years) has proven, humans have always been vulnerable to the same sets of ideological and moral mines. Just because a people have been persecuted over the span of written history, does not mean they are immune.
People have an inherent tendency, to forget their collective histories, Whether by apathy, fear, self delusion, hopelessness or grooming, they allow critical lessons to fade into obscurity and those lessons are lost for newer generations...but rest assured, they are not lost for the leaders, tyrants, despots and Global oligarchs/elites...they are students of history and have long memories.
What makes M's story so concerning is that Jews (on a world level) like Black Americans (on a national level), are our Moral Barometers. When these two groups become, that which persecuted and oppressed them, then humanity becomes a rudderless boat, adrift in an angry moral-less/conscienceless sea.
At that point it will take a Moses figure, coming down from the mountain, to admonish the people for turning away from God and worshipping the golden calf of woke-ism and the great reset.
Will we, the remnant, understand that we are that figure?
