Schindler Didn’t Disprove Nazi Anti-Semitism,
Lassana Bathily Doesn’t Disprove Islamic Anti-Semitism

By Daniel Greenfield

Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazi Party who saved over a thousand Jews. He wasn’t the only one. Major Karl Plagge, an early Nazi Party member, never subscribed to its racial theories and worked to save Jews. So was Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, whose information helped save the lives of many of Denmark’s Jews.

OSKAR SCHINDLER

There were in fact a number of members of the Nazi Party who saved Jews. They were however vastly outnumbered by the number of Nazis who killed Jews.

 

Citing Schindler or Plagge, who liked much of the Nazi agenda, but didn’t like the killing Jews part of it, does not make Nazism good. It doesn’t disprove the existence of genocidal Nazi anti-Semitism.

It shows that people are individuals and that the members of any ideology include people who are good and who will even take heroic risks despite otherwise subscribing to a thoroughly evil ideology.

In other words, people are complicated.

LASSANA BATHILY

If Lassana Bathily, the Muslim worker who reportedly saved a number of Jews during the Muslim attack on a Kosher supermarket, did everything he reportedly did, then he’s a hero.

 

He’s a hero just like Schindler or Plagge were heroes. It doesn’t mean that a genocidal Islamic anti-Semitism that has been killing Jews for over a thousand years no longer exists.

 

It doesn’t mean that Islam isn’t inherently anti-Semitic. There is no question that it is.

 

The reason we respect people like Schindler is not just because they were heroes, but because they defied their society and culture to do the right thing.

 

Their actions are the work of individuals. It doesn’t wipe away the fact that there are far more Muslims engaged in killing Jews or who support the killing of Jews than there are Lassana Bathilys.

 

Ignoring that simple fact is ignoring reality. It would be insulting to Schindler’s heroism and to the victims of the Holocaust to act as if his efforts disproved Nazi anti-Semitism. It is likewise insulting to act as if the actions of one Muslim disprove the reality of the Muslim mass murder of Jews.

 

If Islam really were a Religion of Peace, then a Muslim saving Jews would not be an extraordinary newsworthy event. Instead the media is using Bathilys’ story to silence the fact that Jews in France are subject to Muslim massacres on a regular basis.

 

And that’s as bad as using Schindler’s story to whitewash Nazism and pretend the Holocaust never happened.
