The Era of "Never Again" Is Ending
(JTA) Eric Rozenman - The era of "never again" is ending in Western Europe, fading in North America and never penetrated the Middle East. Relentless demonization of the Jewish state renormalizes demonization of Jewish people. Including this small chosen people with their tiny promised land in the multicultural rainbow remains one diversity too many. The Holocaust must be understood not only as an event halted by the Allies' defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 but also as a process interrupted.

The writer is former Washington director of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America and former editor of B'nai B'rith's International Jewish Monthly and the Washington Jewish Week.
