Anti-Semitic flyers appeared at the University of Illinois at Chicago Tuesday declaring that “Ending white privilege...starts with ending Jewish privilege.”

UIC student Eva Zeltser posted a picture of one of the flyers on Facebook, claiming that she found copies posted all over campus and declaring, “My heart is broken.”

White and Jewish—double the guilt?

The joke it that most Jews undoubtably have black blood.

Boycotts and this kind of rhetoric is how it started in 1933. Still think it can’t happen here?

That campus must be littered with security cameras. It wouldn’t be very hard to find out who put the flyers out and if they were enrolled in the scholl, to expel them. The administration doesn’t persue this because they don’t want to.

Is this just part of the game to make it look like Donald Trump is somehow behind the hatred of Jews?

And this type of thing is the end result of campus Jewish groups spending years trying to make common cause with liberal and minority groups.

It’s all part of the lie that “anti-Zionism” isn’t “anti-Jew.” I refuse to use “anti-Semitic,” since arabs are Semites as well. But the vast majority, especially in the middle east, HATE Jews.

Where did the "1%" rhetoric come from? As I recall it came from the Occupy movement, and was given a national platform by Bernie Sanders, himself Jewish.

The Occupy Movement, in turn, was created by the Canadian far-left movement magazine Ad Busters. The Wikipedia article on the magazine lists these 4 people as the leaders:

Ideas have authors. Ideas have consequences. Either the 1% is a reasonable shorthand for talking about social inequality, or it's not. If it is then it certainly makes sense to talk about who makes up the 1%.

If it's not a useful idea for talking about social inequality then: where were people in condemning it over the last five or six years, as it's become almost a household term?

The same is even more true of the concept of White privilege.

Did Lonnie Nasatir, the regional director for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), at any point make any statements against scapegoating the 1%? About the nefarious concept of White privilege which demonizes an entire group based on ethnic identity?

Will Lonnie Nasatir even now denounce it?

Doing a little web searching it's interesting to see that earlier this month the the school was promoting a speech about a far-left reporter, and the promotion freely used the terms "white privilege" and "male privilege". The link can be found here The flyer ends:

Questions of race and sex split open American society, revealing both its dark underbelly, as well as opening eyes, freeing imaginations, and putting white privilege and male privilege (not to mention U.S. national privilege) on the defensive. Halsell’s world view, schooled in Cold War liberalism, Southern paternalism & white supremacy, and domesticity, begins to unravel especially after her stint in Vietnam, and even more so when she turns her attention to the U.S., its ghettos, reservations, borders – and finally to Palestine.

In their statement the administration decries the message of the posters - but at the same time is promoting nearly identical messages in lectures, and presumably other class room material.

Why the double standard? Why is it OK for some people to continually make broad generalizations about one group, White people, of extremely dubious accuracy (there are many poor whites in America who experience no privilege in their lives) but a campus crisis when another group makes similar, dubiously accurate, statements about another group.

The double standard is obvious and appalling.

Did you guys catch the special last night on cant remember was it discovery or History channel, they interviewed WWII men who were still alive decribing d-day events and how they felt taht day. What brave souls they are Freepers what GREAT men!

The show acutally detailed the day and what the men where up against with the Nazis.

With rubber bullets the men reinacted D-Day actually using the vehicle drive up to a beach reinact the running up the beach and the deaths. Once they got up the beach the nazis had rows of barbed wire so the men were trapped!! They deveolped pipe bombs to destroy the barbed wire. I upshotted here for brevity.

My point is as I was watching I saying to myself, Islam is our nazi.

Gosh Darn It!

...declaring that “Ending white privilege...starts with ending Jewish privilege.”

You're right - the mask's coming off... Seems people have forgotten two of the three civil rights workers murdered in 1964 Mississippi were young Jewish freedom fighters.

The mask has been off for decades.

Want to see the liberal snowflakes really show their Anti-Jew hatred?

Wait till Israel wipes the ME clean in the next war. See their reactions.

I have a Jewish acquaintance who lives in the DC area and is a member of an ultra-left SJW Synagogue in DC. I was shocked to hear this very Caucasian person tell me, with a straight face, that Jews are not “white”.

Disgusting.

As an aside, likewise a few years ago at Carnegie Mellon some students built a fence in the common yard and painted it with Palestinian colors and Death to Israel. Wonder if it’s gotten even worse there?

So much for “tolerance” and “diversity”.

Seems reasonable. "White" isn't a description of skin color after all, or my Chinese wife would be considered white, she is about the lightest colored person I've ever met.

"White" means "person of European origin" in America, just like "black" means "person of African origin". No one would call a very dark skinned Indian or Sri Lankan person "black" even though their skin tone might be much darker than many American blacks.

So, to use more precise language in an attempt to answer the qeustion: Are Jewish Americans also "European Americans"? That's a question that is debated endlessly by both Jews and non-Jews!

My one Israeli friend send me an article emphatically saying NO! Her point was that the Jews are a Semetic tribe with roots in the Middle East, just like Arabs. To claim they are European transforms them from an indigenous group to a colonial outpost.

The Atlantic Magazine recently ran an entire article on this topic, with the simple but provocative title Are Jews White?"

Here from Jewish magazine is another article on the same topic: Are Jews White? It’s Complicated

Google "Are Jews White" and you will get articles and opinions from everyone from Israeli rabbis to the Alt-Right on it, with people from all backgrounds taking both positions.

Pretty much all collectivists are Jew-haters. And Jews that are collectivists? They hate themselves.
