In 1938, a Jewish teenager assassinated Ernst vom Rath, a German diplomat in Paris. This triggered a series of events leading to Kristallnacht and the incarceration of 26k Jewish men in concentration camps. Today we are at a similar tipping point. davidlivingstonesmith.substack.com/p/the-assasi...

I have a very ominous feeling. We may be at a turning point. davidlivingstonesmith.substack.com/p/the-assasi...
