This past day was Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. In it, we remember the 6 million Jews and 5 million others who were brutally murdered by the evil Nazi regime.
More than just a memorial, however, Yom Hashoah also stands to perpetuate the notion of "Never Again". It serves as a continual reminder to always ensure that the Holocaust's horrors are never repeated.
To this end, we must stand strong on the side of freedom and morality, and forcefully oppose those who wish to create genocidal horrors of their own. Tragically, regimes with Nazi-like goals still exist (Al Qaeda, Hamas, Iran's Mullahcracy, the Sudanese Arab militias), and we must dedicate the full resources necessary to stop them immediately.
The great Irish philosopher Edmund Burke once famously observed that "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Let's heed his advice, and work to end these genocidal regimes.
Here are some ways to do it:
1) Help save Darfur
2) Support the Iran Freedom Foundation
3) Support the Palestine Solidarity Movement (hint: it's not what you think)
4) Buy Israeli products

Update: Fellow blogger Madzionist has written an excellent piece on Yom Hashoah. Read it, and know how Israel can strengthen itself only through its Jewish essence.
