West warns of 'Second Holocaust'

Representative Allen West (R-Fl) warned at a townhall meeting on Monday that Israel could (God forbid) face a 'second Holocaust' if the United States does not protect it from Iran and other enemies.

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) warned that Israel could become the site of a "second Holocaust" if the United States does not provide military cover against Iran, a local Jacksonville, Fla., radio station, WOKV-AM/FM, reported on Monday.

“You’re looking at a second Holocaust … [if Israel doesn't] know they can trust and depend upon the stars and stripes … to provide them support,” said West, who was speaking at the First Baptist Church in West Palm Beach.

“There will be no spiritual homeland for Christians to return back to" if that Holocaust does occur, said West in the same speech, as reported by the Palm Beach Post."There will be no homeland for the Jewish people in the United States of America for their birthright. This is a dangerous situation and we have to take the Iranians for their word.”

In the same speech, West also warned that Israel's other hostile neighbor, Syria, could quickly turn from its current political turmoil to war against Israel.

“What happens if all of a sudden Syria doesn’t focus on fighting each other, but focus on fighting Israel?” West asked.

I love Allen West, and I think that the US ought to be striking Iran - for its own sake and also for Israel's sake. But whether or not the US strikes Iran isn't going to protect us from a 'second Holocaust.' If God wants there to be a 'second Holocaust' - God forbid - there is nothing that the United States can do about it, and if God doesn't want there to be a 'second Holocaust' then there is nothing Iran can do to perpetrate one. We have to do what we are supposed to do, and make our best efforts to protect ourselves (including trying to get the US to do something) and God will take care of the rest.
