Why do leftists care more about Muslims than they do about Jews?
If that sounds confrontational, consider this: this week, the Met Police released the latest hate-crime figures for London. They show that offences against Jews have risen by 93% over the past year, while offences against Muslims have risen by 70%.
And guess which story the BBC, Guardian and Independent, those voices of the British liberal conscience, have chosen to flag up? Yep, the 70% hike in Islamophobic attacks, not the nearly 100% hike in anti-Semitic offences.
The BBC’s headline is ‘Islamophobic crime in London “up by 70%”‘.
The Guardian‘s is ‘Hate crimes against Muslims soar in London’.
The Indie opts for ‘Hate crimes against Muslims in London “up by 70%”‘.
What about the crimes against Jews?
Sorry, no room for those. They aren’t mentioned.
Whether as a result of how the cops chose to press-release their new figures or how editors chose to interpret them, or maybe a bit of both, someone down the line has taken the decision that a bashed-up or verbally abused Muslim is more newsworthy than a bashed-up or verbally abused Jew.
This is becoming increasingly common. For some reason, so-called progressives, especially those of a leftist bent, are made more upset by hatred of Muslims than they are by hatred of Jews.
It’s why the very people – Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Diane Abbott, every leftie on Twitter – who normally rail against racism, and against the people who rub shoulders with racists, could in essence say ‘What’s all the fuss?!’ when it was revealed Jeremy Corbyn had been hanging out with Holocaust deniers.
It’s why every bovine attack on a mosque is held up as hard evidence that Europe is descending into a cesspool of anti-Muslim hatred, whereas you have to scour the media to find mentions of attacks on synagogues.
In recent days, a Manchester teen was beaten up in a suspected anti-Semitic assault; a Jewish Spanish teenager was physically attacked; and two Holocaust survivors in Amsterdam were assaulted and called ‘dirty Jews’.
Yet these incidents aren’t frontpage news; certainly they aren’t cited as evidence that a new plague of prejudice is stalking Europe, as is done when Muslims are assaulted. The message of this double standard, however implicit it might be, is pretty clear: attacks on Jews are less important than attacks on Muslims.
The extent to which chattering-class concern for Muslims trumps concern for Jews reached its nadir when four Jews were murdered in a Parisian deli shortly after the massacre at Charlie Hebdo. Pretty much every liberal newspaper in Europe continued thundering on about the potential for an ‘Islamophobic backlash’ following the Charlie killings, even as Jews were being killed.
On the morning the four dead Jews were being put on a flight for burial in Israel, George Clooney was telling fawning hacks how worried he was about ‘anti-Muslim fervour’ in Europe. It’s surreal.
Some people seem more worried about possible attacks on Muslims than by actual attacks on Jews.
That’s the terrifying message of the media and leftists’ implicit downgrading of the seriousness of anti-Semitism. Whether they’re excusing these crimes or simply acquiescing to them, they’re giving a green light to anti-Semitism.
Because Jews aren’t going to burn your city down
“Why does the left care more about Islamophobia than anti-Semitism?”
Simple answer.
Their god-king preaches concern for his beloved muslims and practices anti-Semitism.
Because there was a National Socialist - Muzzie coalition in the 30’s and 40’s.
Because if you abandon God, Satan tickles your toes and tells you what to think.
Because the left and the Islamists are two wings of the same army bent on destruction of the West.
Because they are a-holes.
They hate God,
and hate his people as a proxy.
They’ll support anyone who also wants to destroy Jews and Christians.
Amen, Mr. B.
Evil exists. Those that are not aware that it goes about “like a roaring lion” are sucked into the vortex.....
But those who have read the Book knows how this all ends.....
Because, like the confidence that Negroes will vote for a Democrat any day of the week, they also know that the majority of Jewish voters, without question, will vote Democrat as well. Therefore, they think they have them in their pocket, crimes committed or not.
Correct.
Because they hate the traditional Western way of life.
Attacking the Jews and promoting the Muslims promotes that.
BTTT
Pick any subject matter you care to discuss.
The left praises evil, and denigrates anything of goodness. Every time.
This is an interesting discussion, however, I believe the answer is clear. The Left will defend Islam to the very end because Islam rejects Jesus Christ. Jews and Christians share a common God, thus the Jews are hated all the same. The Left hates Jesus and anything attached to our Savior. The Left supports anything or anyone (no matter how vial) who wants the destruction of those who worship the Jewish/Christian God. Yes, I understand that Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Christ. However, Jehovah is common to both religions whom Islam hates.
