"The people being held there are cold, hungry, dirty and often sick. Children are separated from parents. Children are caring for children. Medical care is not to be found. A few not millions, but a few have died."
Jewish critics of AOC's statements are hypocritical in that they refuse to condemn the U.S. detention policies and camps, which are largely the brainchild of Trump adviser Stephen Miller, who is Jewish. Although some members of Miller's family and Jewish congregation in Santa Monica, California, have condemned Miller, such criticism has not been matched by official condemnation from leaders of major Jewish political pressure groups like the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, the Zionist Organization of America, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and others. Limited hangout propagandists like HBO's Bill Maher joined in the condemnation of AOC's remarks, but have said little about Miller and his supporters. Perhaps that is because members of Miller's congregation are friendly with some of those connected with Maher's "Real Time" program produced in Television City, not far from Santa Monica.
Miller still has his supporters in Santa Monica as shown by the treatment meted out last October to 73-year old Nikki Fiske, an elementary school teacher for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. Fiske, Miller's third grade teacher at Franklin Elementary School, was taken out of the classroom and put on "home assignment" after she described one of Miller's habits in class. Fiske said of Miller's penchant for ingesting glue that he "would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it."
There were Jewish collaborators of the Nazis in the concentration camps. They were called "kapos." Today, this same ilk is found in the White House and throughout the Trump administration, where they either craft U.S. concentration camp policy or remain silent about it. Their names are Miller, Kushner, Mnuchin, Greenblatt, Berkowitz, Friedman, and Rosen.
Under Miller's direction, 50,000 asylum-seekers are being detained in more than 200 detention centers around the United States, including privately-run facilities and county jails. But rather than condemn a glue-sniffing demented Nazi policy-aficionado like Miller, AOC is being lambasted by self-servers for speaking the truth. To the major Jewish organization leaders who criticize AOC while giving Miller a pass, the only response is one that these self-appointed pantaloons often and rightfully direct toward Holocaust deniers, "Eternal shame on them!"
