“Cancel Culture”, Ominous Parallels in History

external content.duckduckgo 24
My letter to the editor of the Jewish Standard that was not published this week.
Then and Now
Dear Editor,
I enjoyed reading Bernard Mintz’s article, “Reflections of a Second-generation child of Holocaust survivors” in your January 29, 2021 issue.
He mentions the “dehumanization and loneliness” his parents experienced during the holocaust. He speaks about how “Poles would stand outside Jewish-owned stores and tell passersby not to shop there.” Is not the cancel culture of today – cancelling anyone who supports or supported President Trump and the Conservative agenda similar to what was done to the Jewish-owned stores in Poland? Bed, Bath and Beyond abandoned the “My Pillow” company for their support of Donald Trump. Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are censoring ideas they don’t like – Conservative ideas. When Parler became a substitute to Facebook – by allowing free expression, they were de-platformed. When people call all Trump supporters “white supremacists”, “racists”, “insurrectionists” or “deplorables” – that is dehumanizing them.
Let us learn from history – it is known to repeat itself.
