What Happened to the Fearless Jew?
In my article 40 years now 40 years in the desert then, I explained that the sole reason the Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years in the Exodus was because of defeatists and that the sole reason for the astonishing success of Israel against its combined enemies in the 6 Day war was because Israel did not have defeatists in power in 1967; but unfortunately we are in a period of history where the defeatists are in great number again, both in Israel and here in the United States.
Then, in my post War Now - War in 1967, I noted the difference between the fearful Jew of old and the fearless Israeli of 1967 and ended by concluding that Liberal Jews in America will still happily skip into gas chambers and climb into ovens, which angered some of my readers. No Jew, one reader commented, skipped happily into a gas chamber. OK, so I used a bit of hyperbole, but the truth is that, except for a few exceptions, most Jews stood silent while atrocities were committed against them.
Actually, I was not writing anything untrue or unknown to other Jews. A tip of the turban 
to Smooth Stone for alerting me to Hayyim Nachman Bialik, who wrote a poem in 1905, "Be-Ir ha-Haregah (the City of Death)" about the slaughter in the Bessarabian city of Kishinev (now part of Moldova), in which Bialik blamed the Jewish men for being too frightened to prevent the rape of their women by Cossacks.
