When we fight « against » , we often address the effects of the causes.
I use the story of a french lady called Simone Veil to illustrate the point.
.
She was 16 when she was deported to Auchwitz, with her family.
Most of her family died there. She survived.
.
Back in France, she studied Law and Political Science.
She later managed to enter the french government…
… which gave her political stature & visibility.
.
She became the first woman elected at the European Parliament.
There, she worked hard FOR franco-german reconciliation & FOR Construction of Europe.
.
Indeed the long term solution for many social problems require structural actions.
Anti-Semitism did not pop-up in Europe during WW2.
It has been a problem for centuries, in Europe & Russia, with discrimination (for the least) to murder (including pogroms).
.
Theodor Herzl, a secular Austrian Jew, is the theorist of the Sionism.
He wrote « Der Judenstaat » (State for the Jews) : a « Refuge State ».
Note : He did not call it ‘’Der Jüdische Staat’’ (The Jewish State). Reading the book, he did propose a « Refuge State » against antisemitism.
Anyway, the solution was to remove people from the place where they suffer.
.
Another solution could have been (in theory) to remove the perpetrators. But not feasible, as they were too many…
.
The strengthening of the links between countries & between people is the long term solution.
It should apply in other places in the world, as well.
