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.”

The Temple Mount: The Astonishing Israeli Concession of 1967

In a triumphant moment, Israel’s flag was hoisted over the newly conquered Temple Mount—then quickly taken down.

Moshe Dayan thought he was preventing bloodshed, and I am sure foremost on his mind was preventing Jewish bloodshed. But he made a mistake. You never surrender and inch of land to people who want to murder you. How much more so when you are talking about Judaism’s holiest place on earth? Ever since Israel relinquished control of the Temple Mount Arabs have used it as a propaganda tool. In fact their ability to do so has only expanded as they have conned large numbers of ignorant people into, against every bit of historical evidence, believing that Arabs in the region are a separate ethnic people called “Palestinian” who are the “real” indigenous people. Had the Israelis kept the Temple Mount, it would have sent the message to the world that ALL of Israel is Jewish, they aren’t afraid to proudly proclaim it, and that Arabs are welcome to live and pray anywhere in Israel, including the Dome of the Rock, ONLY if they accept the reality of the situation. Instead, now we have a “Jewish” state where Jews aren’t allowed to pray at the most revered place in our religion and in our history.
