The answer is most American Jews, while ethnically Jewish, are ethically leftist. And ethics trump ethnicity -- as they should. Something about this sentence structure distressed's me so I started nosing about in the definitions of assonance, consonants, and vowel harmony and remain nearly as ignorant as before the excursion into such arcane (for me) research.
I think the repetition of the vowel sounds in "ethnically" and "ethically" are examples of vowel harmony although they might be examples of assonance. I leave it to the fine mind of Firebrand to educate me about all this, as I know she can.
On reflection, it is clear that what bothers me about the sentence structure is the attachment in immediate vicinity of the word "ethically" with the word "leftist." I think the term "oxymoronic" better fits than the three I have been agonizing over.
Otherwise, I think Dennis Prager is, as always, on the mark.
Something like semi-anaphora? What’s the word for something there is no word for?
I didn’t like either the Stephens op-ed or the apology story in the BUSINESS SECTION!!!
I think the Times is intentionally anti-Semitic. It wasn’t an oversight by those out-of-touch jerks who do the International Edition. Nor do I accept any of the other excuses.
Plus no one mentioned that Netanyahu was made to look like an ugly woman. The dog’s ears like long hair, lipstick . . . Trump didn’t get that bad a treatment at all. That’s the essence of an anti-Semitic cartoon: to make the Jew LOOK ridiculous and ugly. No one mentioned that. It’s subconscious to most. And that’s why it works.
Stop it in its tracks. Don’t even patronize newsdealers who sell the Times. Get the Post by home delivery. Boycott them the way the Muslim newsdealers are boycotting the Post.
