Queen Elizabeth II and the Jews

Six facts about the monarch’s tumultuous relationship with Jews, on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee.

It’s easy to pay homage and respect to Holocaust survivors, only a monster wouldn’t. It is also easy to show respect to the Jewish community when they are your “subjects” (a term which, as an American-I truly despise). However, her family was clearly antisemitic for a very long time, and she refused to visit Israel. So the praise from some quarters of the Jewish community is misguided in my opinion. Yes, her reign was impressive, her behavior during WWII was valiant, and her service to her nation is unprecedented. That said, this family has some clearly antagonistic views toward the Jewish community.

“‘lf. Besides her resolute steadfastness in never visiting (Israel), the Queen also made troubling remarks on an official visit to Jordan in 1984. Shown a map of the disputed West Bank, which has been in Israeli control ever since the Six Day War in 1967, Queen Elizabeth called it “depressing,” and described Israeli planes flying in the West Bank as “frightening.” On that visit, she also laid a wreath at a memorial to Arab soldiers who died attacking Israel.’”

Education Department Investigates Allegations USC Ignored Anti-Semitic Harassment

The Education Department formally launched an investigation on Tuesday into allegations the University of Southern California (USC) fomented "a hostile environment of anti-Semitism" on its campus that forced a Jewish student government official to resign

I’m not even slightly surprised. I’m a graduate of USC. Even when I attended, antisemitism was rampant, and always tolerated, among staff and students. The various administrations through the years refuse to even speak to Jewish alumni about this issue. If you’re Jewish, or a decent person, do not support this school in any way. Oh, they also take millions from the Saudis. The “USC family” thing is a marketing ploy. The only alumni who benefit from having attended the school are rich, connected, major donors.

No, Anne Frank did not have ‘white privilege’

Critical Race Theory cannot cope with the Holocaust so it pretends those killed were oppressors

In the US, some fading Reform and Conservative synagogues go Orthodox to stay afloat

“In the past 20 years, more than one-third of Conservative synagogues and one out of five Reform synagogues closed, according to a 2020 Pew Research Center study.”

Of course. You can’t tell people for 70 years that Judaism only means “being a good person,” or that it just regency’s whatever their political party is pushing at that moment, without ANY specifically Jewish meaning or obligations, and people will eventually start to feel that their “Judaism” isn’t central to their lives.

“Asked in 2016 if anyone had ever suggested he should boycott the country, he replied in characteristically forceful style: ‘They would have gotten punched in the face. No, I don't hang around with antisemites if that's what you mean and I don't know any. And if I did, I'd punch them in the face.’”

Thanks, Whoopi! Why Holocaust Education Is mostly counter-productive

Shoah education proposes that Jews are easiest to murder without payback, and it makes Jewish youngsters want to escape that fate. Op-ed.

I couldn’t agree more. The more secular Jewish community has spent 70 years saying “never again,” without spending that time teaching Jews what it means to be Jewish. Organizations like the ADL, the Federations, the National Council of Jewish Women and on and on and on have replaced Jewish identity in the United States with something that resembles American leftism more than anything authentically Jewish. That philosophy has an extremely distorted version of “tikkun olam” at its core. They then combine that with “Holocaust education” to justify participating in every imaginable left wing cause, often, sadly, even those that are anti-Israel, and sometimes even anti-Jewish. It is destructive and is one reason why the secular American Jewish world has utterly failed at inspiring people to live Jewish lives.

We have to fight antisemitism by fighting back, and not by repeating tired cliches and phrases. We have to inspire Jews by teaching them about Judaism and our history. Holocaust education is important, but it is only one part of that. We also have to accept that teaching the world about the Holocaust isn’t going to make them like us any more, or less, than they do now. Strength and conviction accomplish far more than conversations, memos, and everything else that the organized secular Jewish bureaucracy has been pretending (for decades) is effective.

Education Department Launches Investigation Into CUNY Anti-Semitism

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights on Thursday launched an investigation into allegations of "severe and persistent anti-Semitic harassment" against students at Brooklyn College. The Department is set to begin its investigation a year af

Seventy six years ago my father came home fro World War 2 and was told that he could y enroll in Brooklyn College because they had a quota on the number of Jews allowed in the school and they had reached that quota. He eventually found his way in-but it was DESPITE the rampant antisemitism of the time. Its 2022 and nothing has changed. Things did get better. For a while. Now we’re in the same morass that we were in then-the only difference is that the perpetrators tend to look different these days. We’ve always been hated by the left and the right. It’s unquestionable that today the vast majority of antisemitism comes from the left, almost ALL of it couched in the language of being “anti-Israel” or “anti-Zionist.” Those are the excuses. However, it’s all the same thing. When it was bad to be white, we were deemed not white. Now the left believes that whiteness is bad, they’ve decided that we’re white. I’m totally sick of it. The time has come to fight back.

From the article:

“The complaint outlines how professors ‘have maligned Jews on the basis of race and ethnic identity" by claiming that Jews "contribute to the systemic oppression of people of color.’ Faculty, staff, and students disseminated ‘classical anti-Semitic trope that Jews possess disproportionate power and influence,’ the complaint reads. One professor slammed American Jews as ‘oppressors.’”

That’s typical leftist rhetoric. How anyone can be Jewish and naive enough to believe that this isn’t the exact same language used to denigrate us throughout history is beyond me. If anyone on the right, let alone people on virtually every single college campus, said that - they would be, correctly, endlessly condemned. The Jewish community needs to stop picking its battles based on politics.

More importantly, USC, which I am frankly embarrassed by at this point, has been tolerating antisemitism from its professors for years. A few years ago I cut off all ties with USC because they allowed an assistant professor to push Holocaust denial, and then refused to meet with members of the Jewish community, including me, to discuss how heinous the entire situation was.

So of course, he’s still a professor and hasn’t been “cancelled.” As always, bigots and the ignorant will just (falsely) claim that people like me despise him because we won’t tolerate any critique of Israel. That’s their standard line: and it’s a lie. It’s also their primary excuse to justify, and then get away with, obvious bigotry. The hypocrisy of constantly whining about racism while totally ignoring antisemitism when it isn’t politically beneficial, is the most blatantly obvious and massive hypocrisy of the era.

Social media makes it apparent just how acceptable antisemitism is to many people. Often the same people who claim to be “fighting” racism. Jews are the most attacked ethnic group in human history and the most attacked religious minority in the United States. That doesn’t stop these people from spewing their hypocritical hate.

Religious Jews are a misogynist, anti-medicine cult, according to @NBC show "Nurses" (video)

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

NBC seems to be intent on normalizing antisemitism. Obviously, they would never get away with it if they similarly stereotyped blacks, gays, women, etc. The fact is that the media has been characterizing religious Jews like this for decades. They get away with it because millions of ignorant people believe the portrayals. They are just as ridiculous as any other racist/bigoted ethnic stereotypes. The writers of these shows have never met actual religious Jews.

It wasn't funny, Michael Che - Israel National News

All Israelis whether Muslim, Christian or Jew, are equally eligible for vaccine Almost 70% of Israeli Arabs over 60 were vaccinated. Op-ed.

Michael Che is a lowlife who should be fired and his career ended. If he had made similarly malicious comments about another ethnic group, that’s exactly what would be happening.

David Schoen's Water Drinking And The Hypocrisy Of The Closed-Minded "Open-Minded" People

Why is making fun of people's religious practices still OK in 2021? We supposedly got to a point about inclusivity and diversity .

I hate this kind of hypocrisy. Nasty comments about Jews, particularly religious Jews, remains the only acceptable form of minority bigotry, particularly for the side of the political spectrum that has disdain for religion.

Daniel Pearl killing: Pakistan court frees man accused in beheading of U.S. journalist

Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered the release of a Pakistani man convicted and later acquitted in the gruesome beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl.

This is incredibly sad for the family. It is a travesty and proves, yet again, that Jewish life is cheap for most of the world. At this point in my life, I've learned that lesson way too many times. We are the last group that the world cares about. Yet marxist bigots in the US get their own flag, plazas, and billions of dollars to push Marxism in the name of "fighting racism."
