I'm surprised these guys even know about Moloch - given that most of Western Culture seems to celebrate sacrificing their unborn children to their Moloch god of convenience, loose morals, and self-centered living.

Julius Streicher would be proud of the grotesque dehumanization in that drawing.

I was just going to ask, didn’t some Germans have this same attitude 70 some years ago?

Well the now reality is that Germany is requiring a Jewish symbol on all packaging manufactured in Germany by Jews. This is of course to protect the feelings of mussies who might inadvertently pick up a product not knowing it’s been contaminated by Jews. History repeats.

Scumbags.

Not that I’m aware of. Didn’t know they made anything. Just took.
