White supremacy and the Jews: The latest iteration

Given the anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories that have been used against Jews for centuries, it’s unsurprising that critical race theory (CRT) provides a convenient guise to attack Jews today.

“That was the case in May 2020, when, against a backdrop of legitimate protests against the killing of George Floyd, the local leader of the LA chapter of Black Lives Matter called for “an uprising, a rebellion, a revolt” through Fairfax, an Orthodox Jewish enclave and the oldest Jewish neighborhood in Los Angeles. Businesses were vandalized and some of the area’s synagogues were defaced with spray-painted obscenities and anti-Israel slogans, provoking fear and apprehension among the neighborhood’s Jewish residents and business owners. The leader later explained that the decision to target this neighborhood was “very deliberate” in order “to disrupt spaces of white affluence” so “it’s not just black people who are suffering at the hands of white supremacy.”

By painting a predominantly Jewish community as a bastion of white supremacists, the rioters could deflect and challenge accusations of anti-Semitism against them. In their minds, this was a social-justice battle against white supremacy. Social justice warriors contend that charges of anti-Semitism deflect attention from the real racists, the “white supremacists,” even when those so labeled are the targeted Jews themselves.”

Israeli court upholds ban on Jewish prayer at Al Aqsa compound

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -An Israeli appeal court on Wednesday overruled a magistrate who had stirred Palestinian anger by questioning the legality of barring Jewish prayer at a contested Jerusalem shrine, as the United States warned its citizens over travel i

This ruling proves three things: 1. That the government of the modern state of Israel doesn’t truly see it as a “Jewish state” and 2. It is a lie that israel protects freedom of religion, because the only religion which isn’t fully protected is Judaism. 3. Leftism is a disease which infects everything it touches and the leftist judge made that obvious with this disgusting ruling.

Israel's refusal to Jewish claims on Temple Mount encourages Islamists

It is the un-Jewish “status quo” that Jordan, with American backing and Israeli acquiescence, is seeking to force on us all.

Israel’s unbelievably weak stance on the Temple Mount began almost immediately after Jewish control of it was reasserted after the Six Day War. In allowing Arabs to control it, they created a situation in which 1. Israel utterly failed to really secure the promise of a “Jewish state.” It’s not Jewish if Jews aren’t safe when praying at the holiest place in our religion. It’s also increasingly unsafe at the second holiest place, the Western Wall, and the third, The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. 2. Arabs have made it exceedingly clear that they view all of Israel as Muslim, just as they view all of the Temple Mount, and The Western Wall as “Al Aqsa.” This is a problem that has only gotten worse over the last 55 years. Israel has a chance now, because of the recent Israeli Supreme Court decision allowing Jews to pray in the Temple Mount, to finally assert some level of Jewishness in the most Jewish place on planet earth. Will they be strong enough to do it? Based on the situation since 1967 - no. I love Israel, and I love Israelis, but the government has always been run by cowards.
