Why The Antisemitic Hate-Crime Spike in New York City Has Nothing to Do with White Supremacy

Many liberals downplay hate crimes that don’t fit their narrative. A better approach would be consistency: We should vigorously pursue hate-crime perpetrators regardless of who they -- or the victims -- are.

I've spent lots of time in some of the neighborhoods that have been affected, particularly in Crown Heights. These attacks aren't being taken seriously by NY politicans, the media, and the public because 1. These are Jews 2. These are mostly Hassidic Jews 3. And this is the main one: it doesn't fit those politicians political narrative. Therefore law enforcement is doing next to nothing. Hassidic Jews are "white" (according the left's ridiculous definition of that term) and overwhelmingly conservative, add that to the endemically antisemitic views held by many of these same people and their reaction has been a near total non reaction. They only care about the "minorities" that they can exploit.

Israel Bars Entry to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Rightfully So.

Israel was absolutely right to bar entry to US congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

My first thought was that Israel should allow them in because Israel is FAR stronger than these two. But their itinerary made it clear, as does every word that either has ever uttered (or refused to utter in terms of acknowledging Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state) about Israel, that neither had any intention but to use the trip as a propaganda tool in their ongoing efforts to damage Israel.

"Israeli law requires Israel’s interior minister to bar foreign nationals who “knowingly issued a public call to boycott the state of Israel” or have “pledged to participate in said boycott.” Both Reps. Omar and Tlaib publicly support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement; under Israeli law, they are likely categorically barred from entering Israel; there are no special exceptions within the law for politicians.

Despite this mandate from the Knesset, the Israeli government was planning to allow Omar and Tlaib to enter; Ambassador Dermer stated last month that “[o]ut of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel.” But that decision was made before Omar and Tlaib’s itinerary became public.

According to a report from the Washington Post, the pair planned to visit East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Hebron — all cities under Palestinian control. They had also refrained from scheduling any official meetings with the Israeli government."

Should American Jews Speak Hebrew? – Tablet Magazine

For me the answer is absolutely "yes." Yet I don't speak fluent Hebrew. I've tried to learn many times.

I agree with every word of this. It's not popular to talk about a moment of silence in schools. But the idea that it is prayer in disguise is absurd. Silence is not prayer. Prayer is prayer. Our society has swung so so sooooo far to the secular that a quick glance of the headlines is enough to prove to any thinking person that very few people in our society today contemplate the big issues. Things outside of ourselves just aren't being taught and the hole that has created in conscience of the nation is obvious.

We’re Jews, We’re Not White, We Define Ourselves | Jewish Journal

Last Sunday, I took my son Alexander, 9, to hear a performance of the Hebrew Choir Festival, which “aims to promote Hebrew as the common global Jewish language.” He didn’t want to go — it was a gorgeous afternoon — but I increasingly prioritize stuff like this.

This is a great article about an important subject. When I was growing yo 30-40 years ago, race wasn't NEARLY as much of an issue as it is now. It was in the 60s and before, and has become increasingly important since the 90s. But we're regressing. We never considered ourselves to be "white" (a completely meaningless term anyway). "White" people were the WASPS and other Christians. How could we be "white" when we were never really a part of "white" society (we have different holidays, different names, and yes - a different language, even if we didn't speak it), and they were putting us in ovens just a few decades before? None of the Holocaust survivors I knew thought of us as anything but Jewish. The idea that we are "white," isn't one of acceptance. It's an attempt to erase our identities because we are, literally, living proof that racism can't be boiled down to skin color alone.

And never would I have dreamed that there would be a day in America where Jews are routinely called "white supremacists." It is the one of the most vile things you can say about a Jewish person. And where are the "white Muslims" and "white Arabs"? The fact that you don't hear those terms demonstrates what this is really about: de-legitimizing the Jewish claim to Israel, our ancestral homeland, where we are the indigenous people. "Sorry," but none of us are Europeans. We know that intuitively, but the Europeans made that fact more than clear to use for millennia, and they continue to today.

Of course it never left. The Shoah (Holocaust) just made it more socially unacceptable. Now it is growing again because antisemites have given people a whole new set of excuses to hide behind.

"Once an attitude is an ingrained part of a culture, it takes a long time to “wash it out.” On the other hand, political correctness made it impossible in recent decades for respectable Europeans to self-define as antisemites. Thus, the hatred mutated in recent decades, and a third major generation of antisemitism developed: anti-Israelism, which targets the Jewish state.

The inroads that this hatred has made in Europe were shown in a 2011 study conducted by the University of Bielefeld in Germany, where it emerged that at least 150 million adult EU citizens agreed with the statement that Israel is conducting “a war of extermination against the Palestinians.”

If that were really the case, hardly any Palestinians would still be alive. Yet to the contrary, the number of Palestinians has increased over the past decades."

I've watched over the course of my life as the bulk of antisemitic activity has shifted from the right to the left. Not acknowledging the shift is to excuse antisemitism by placing ideology and partisanship above facts and logic.

Anyone who politicizes this, as so many have, should rot in hell. I mean that with every ounce of sincerity I have. Millions have exploited an abhorrent tragedy to push a political agenda and they each have some of the victims’ Blood on their hands and the blood of any future victims who perish because far too many Americans can’t seem to take antisemtism seriousky. Jewish blood is cheap way too many of you.

There are segments of the political community that obsess over “Islamaphobia.” These same people almost never acknowledge anti-Jewish hate crimes as a serious problem because there is far less political cachet in discussion of antisemitism. The attack today in Pittsburgh puts the disengdnousness of the obsession with Islamaphobia under a light that exposes it fully as the non-issue that it has always been.

The Slaughter in Pittsburgh, A Jewish Perspective

Based on the early evidence, the shooter was not only consumed with a hatred of Jews but possessed a kind of sneering contempt for Trump on the grounds that Trump was basically a Jewish agent or a Jew-lover himself. View Post

“Because we are obliged by the sickness of our political culture to analyze every despicable event in a manner designed to confirm our priors, we have already, mere hours after the barbarity, sunk into a nauseating discussion about how much blame to assign to the president for this unspeakable act. The obvious answer is: None. Donald Trump should be assigned no such blame, even if the shooter were the president of the Donald Trump Fan Club, because he pulled no trigger and committed no crime. Period.“

Jew Hater Jenny Tonge’s Vile Reaction to Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre

I am sure it matters little to Tonge that the murderer likely had no love for her beloved palestinians

Angela Merkel’s Ugly Romance With the Iranian Regime

In a remarkable comment that was ignored by the German media last month, the president of the country’s roughly 100,000-member Central Council of Jews suggested that Germany has failed to internalize the lessons of the Holocaust. According to Dr. Josef
