Sadly, what I’ve come to realize is that too many of you are impervious to rational arguments and facts.

Dear non-Jews,
As odd it may seem for me to be addressing all 8 billion of you, what I have to say is directed at non-Jewish populations from Nantucket to Nairobi, from Krakow to Cape Town, from Toronto to Tehran, and all points in between. It doesn’t matter what race you are, what religion you adhere to, what language you speak, how educated you are, where you live. I want to speak to all of you.
As I write this letter, the 16.1 million Jews in the world today—still nearly 1 million less than on eve of the Nazi Holocaust—are facing a surge of antisemitism unseen since the end of World War II.
I will admit that us Jews do talk a great deal about that war, but that’s because we lost 6 million of our sisters and brothers to the German Nazi extermination program, among them 1.5 million of our precious children. And for many of us, it’s clear that a significant number of you—well over 6 million—would like us to go through that hellish ordeal again so that we can be gotten rid of for good this time.
