This Is a Safe Space. No Jews Allowed-Why are some progressives embracing overt anti-Semitism?
Slate ^ | 7-24-17 | Mark Joseph Stern

Posted on 07/27/2017 3:40:30 AM PDT by SJackson

Why are some American progressives embracing overt anti-Semitism?

Are you a Jew in Chicago who’d like to march for LGBTQ rights and gender equality? You’ll have to follow a few rules, helpfully laid out in recent weeks by the Chicago Dyke March and the Chicago SlutWalk.

First, you must not carry any “Zionist displays.” What are Zionist displays? That’s for others to decide. A Star of David might be OK. But if it’s on a rainbow flag, it probably isn’t because “its connections to the oppression enacted by Israel is too strong for it to be neutral.”

Second, you must express solidarity with Palestine. Marching in a parade with a pro-Palestinian stance is not sufficient, nor is advocating for a Palestinian state. As an openly Jewish person, you’ll need to satisfy more heightened scrutiny; other marchers may repeatedly demand that you disavow Israel and swear allegiance to the Palestinian cause. You must comply with these demands or else you will be expelled.

Third, you must renounce any previous connections you have had with Israel. Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of a group with ties to Israel? Repudiate and repent. Openly Jewish marchers are presumed to be in league with the Israeli government unless they can prove otherwise.

One final note: If you are a journalist who covers the implementation of these rules, you deserve to lose your job.

A lot of hard-lefties I know won’t even say the word “Jew” anymore, as they’ve embraced the resurrected Khazar canard, and hence, will generally use the term: “AshkeNAZI Khazar” instead of “Jew”, and likewise, many of the SJWs are also avoiding the term “Israel” as, in their viewpoint, it would ‘lend legitimacy’ to the ‘illegal, illegitimate, apartheid state perched upon Occupied Palestine’.

You get the picture.

Just scratch the surface, and you’ll find that all these so-called “Progressives” are Nazis.

>>This Jew disagrees with you.

>>Any SANE Jew who still knows what it means to be a Jew does not support the Left or many other “causes” because ALL of those “other” movements eventually spit in the Jews’ face.

>>A Torah-oriented Jew, one who believes in the Almighty, one who loves Israel and does not accept other agendas designed to kill him/her does not fall into your category.

>>Many Liberal Jews suffer from “Hyper-Justice Syndrome” where they champion justice for all things and peoples...except their own right to live.

>>These same Jews also suffer from TLH or Terminal Liberal Hemorrhoids which leaves them with an inability to sit, listen and apply reason.

Please don’t go to the absurd absolute. Approximately 80% of American Jews vote for the Progressives every time. You are in the other 20%. But that other 4 out of 5 are the ones I was talking about and they make up a significant majority of your people. Add in European Jews and the numbers get worse.

So, they vote for the Progs and the Socialists very reliably. What do Progs stand for? Wrecking traditional Western Civilization. That’s what.

Your own post admits that the 80% has TLH Syndrome, so what exactly are you disagreeing with other than the assumed absurd absolute.

I have several Jewish friends. Not one of them is Conservative. And a few are really hard core Leftists. I would never talk politics with them, ever. SMH

With "friends" like that, who needs...

The Left has always been antiSemitic because they identify Jews as being integral to the Ruling Class they seek to supplant and destroy. Jews are “over” represented in the fields of finance and of politics. They run the world and all that.

I know it’s crazy talk, but not voting for people who hate you might be a good first step.

Western leftists would be wise to understand and accept that Jews are,and have been for many decades,the driving force behind any advancements that their filthy philosophy has made in the last 50+ years.That's true from the standpoint of “lip service” and,maybe more importantly,*money.*

Guess what? There is more available Muslim money. I'm guessing this is the driving force.

The more things change, the more things stay the same...

Every now and then, the truth of their proclivities peeks out from beneath the covers.

... and Israel is the ONLY country in the middle east where homosexuals are NOT persecuted, or outright executed.

The definition of “Congnative Dissonance!”

Traditional Western Civilzation was born of the Judeo-Christian heritage.

Christianity (and Islam) was born out of Judaism.

Most Jews are suffering from TLH. There is no combined (Jewish) effort to tear down Western society.

To a large extent, the Jews help create Western society.

These Liberal Jews are blinded and are not the evil doers you associate to them. Out of a desire to CHANGE, they follow down paths that eventually destroy them.

I represent a minority of Jews fighting against that massive slide towards oblivion.

Both Left and Right can hate Jews. That’s what’s fascinating about antisemitism, (now also wrapped in Anti-Zionism) now.

If you’re on the Left, you can say the Jews are the owners of the means of production (to quote Karl) or filthy rich Capitalists, Internationalists, Neocons, Bankers, Industrialists and a cabal of rulers behind the scenes who control the planet.

If you’re on the Right, you can say the Jews are the poor ghetto dwellers, subversive and radical workers, the leeches on society, Socialists (to Henry Ford) or very poor rabble rousers, Communists, agitators, anarchists, one world cabal who are trying to overthrow the existing system.

Either way, Jews can eat crow. It doesn’t matter where you are on the spectrum of hate, you will find opportunity to blame a Jew.

Christianity was “born” out of Judaism because God chose to do so and God knows the hearts of his people. It wasn’t a reform movement gone bad, then good, in Judaism. A lot of Jews heard the call of the Holy Spirit in those days. The rest remained in Judaism to be redeemed later according to God’s plan.

Islam was not “born” from either because sheep do not produce lizard offspring. Islam is a corruption of Christianity, created by Satan to serve pagans by channeling carnal urges to some end.

How ever you cut it or slant it, Christ was a Jew and Islam was formed, whether it was a lizard or a cow pie is irrelevant, it came after Judaism and Christianity. All 3 faiths are monotheistic.

Ok. Then Islam came from Judaism as an evolution, as you say. That makes it the true faith because God does not make mistakes. Congrats. You win.

I am not for winning with you.

As an essential faith, Islam was, at many points in history, closer and friendlier to Jews than Christianity.

Purists in Judaism and Islam see Christianity as idol worship.

Jews and Muslims are circumcised, albeit, Jewish males at 8 days old and Muslim males at 13 or so, I think.

No wonder they have days of rage all over the planet at least several times a week!

So, sometimes Christians slaughtered both Jews and Muslims, for example during the Crusades but today, Muslims slaughter Jews & Christians. Ebb and flow, ebb and flow...

There is an increasing fracture in the Left between pro-Muslim left, and Jews. Expect the Muslims to demand the expulsion of all Jews from any organization they gain numbers in.

That is not the qualifier for an “essential faith”.

Have you studied the teachings of Mohammed? The Law of Non-Contradiction says that Islam and Christianity cannot both be true. God can’t be wrong or lie, so the one thing he can’t do is contradict himself. So one is false.

As you point out, Jews and Muslims are closer to each other than they are to Christians, so Islam must be an improved Judaism. If I am an idol-worshiper for following Christ, then so be it.

I have not studied the teachings of Mohammad but I have lived with Arab Muslims and Christians for many years and learned their mindsets.

I am not familiar with the Law of Non-Contradiction between Islam and Christianity. What does it state?

I do not see how one monotheistic faith cancels out the other.
All 3 monotheistic faiths exist side by side.

The Jews are about 6,000 year old, Christianity is roughly 2,000 years old while Islam is roughly 1,300 years old.

Throughout various periods in history, yes, Islam was very enlightened and knowledge was accumulated in Arab lands where Jews resided while Dark Age, Christian Europe was ignorant and piling cow pies for breakfast.

As you know since the Reconnaissance Judeo-Christian West blasted off and left Islam in the dust. Islam is still in that very same dust and they’re mighty pissed off about it, hence they’re trying to create (via violence) an Islam Caliphate, (ISIS).

As I stated earlier, in that Christianity and Islam were BOTH born out of Judaism, these “new faiths, these new testaments, were seen (by their new adherents) as an improved Judaism as you call it.

Yes, both Islam and Christianity found fault with Judaism and then said, we are the new and best faiths in the universe.

Both Islam and Christianity award high brownie points when the proselytize a Jew over to their faith. Why is that? When was the last time you saw a Jew proselytize and Muslim or Christian? Does not happen.

In summation both Christianity and Islam “offered” the Jews and various points in hisotry to “get on board” with the new game plan. The Jews said, uh, uh, we got G-d. To this rejection both the Church and Mosque burned the Jews out of life, property and happiness.

As you point out, Jews and Muslims are closer to each other than they are to Christians, so Islam must be an improved Judaism. If I am an idol-worshiper for following Christ, then so be it.
