Stephen Miller's ancestors escaped Russia beset by violent anti-Jewish pogroms

At the turn of the 20th century, in a dirt-floor shack in the village of Antopol, a shtetl of subsistence farmers in what is now Belarus. Beset by violent anti-Jewish pogroms and forced childhood conscription in the Czar’s army, the patriarch of the shack, Wolf-Leib Glosser, fled a village where his forebears had lived for centuries and took his chances in America. - Politico

The politics of hate

Under David Horowitz’s direction, the Freedom Center has launched a network of projects giving anti-Muslim voices and radical ideologies a platform to project hate and misinformation. Funding these figures and ideas fits into Horowitz’s multi-front information war against the political left. - SPLC

Stephen Miller turns Nazi

• David Glosser, a retired clinical neuroscientist living in Pennsylvania whose sister is Stephen Miller’s mother, said the policy was so abhorrent he felt a duty to speak out. - Politico
• Glosser described the family history that he and Miller share as the descendants of Jews who came to America more than a century ago to escape the pogroms of tsarist Russia.
• “I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, who is an educated man and well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country,” Glosser wrote. - The Guardian
• Why haven’t the many hundreds of thousands of immigrants, children and grandchildren who have profited from the opportunities given to them and the safety provided to them in this country, why haven’t they opened their hearts and opened their mouths to stand up to denounce this? This is bad for democracy. It’s dangerous for democracy. It’s bad for our country.

TakeAway: Shanda is Yiddish for something scandalously shameful.

Jewish sages tell us that the three hallmarks of Jewish people is that they are merciful, bashful, and doers of kindness. In our daily prayers we ask G‑d that we not sin so that we “not be shamed, nor disgraced, or stumble for all eternity.” Our inborn sensitivity to shame before G‑d is a motivating factor to live good, G‑dly lives.

Jews have long recognized that they are constantly scrutinized by those around them, often being held to a higher standard, as would be appropriate for the people chosen by G‑d to be a “light for the nations,” representing Him and His will in the world. Transgressing the Torah or acting shamefully is bad enough, but to do so in public is a double shanda. - Chabad
