I know I have shared previously the observations from the late political scientist Aaron Wildavsky from back in 1990 about the early signs of anti-Semitism starting to go mainstream on college campuses, and his foreboding for the future. It is worth revisiting his diagnosis just now, as anti-Semitism, disguised as “decolonial studies,” has settled in as a major malignant force on universities from coast-to-coast, such that university leaders who were so quick to issue forceful statements about George Floyd, police violence, January 6, the Ukraine War, etc, etc, are suddenly tongue-tied at the spectacle of Nazi-level evil, issuing ambiguous statements at best, fearful of offending the anti-Semites on their faculties and among their student bodies.
Here’s how Wildavsky described what he was seeing in the late 1980s:
[S]ometime in the mid-1960s blacks replaced Jews as the nation’s number one oppressed minority and—second—that, toward the end of that decade, white radicals succeeded in having Jews removed from the parlance of left critics of society as “minority,” despite the fact that they constituted no more than 3 percent of the population and were still undoubtedly subject to minor forms of discrimination in banking, business, social life, politics, and elsewhere. It took Christians 1,000 years to go from oppressed minority to inquisitorial majority; those clever Jews seem to have done it practically overnight. Let us investigate this strange case further.

Defund every single leftist university in this country.
Leftist have always despised Jews.
For some, it’s a God thing.
For others, it’s because Jews are (generally) successful, so they are jealous. They also disprove the leftist theories about discrimination and racism, as Jews are successful without Affirmative Action, despite bearing the overwhelming brunt of discrimination.
And, well, some just need a scapegoat. And Jews are the traditional scapegoat.
And antisemitism is quietly accepted among the upper class, especially in Europe. Jews are loud, course, and, well WORK. They’re Rodney Dangerfield. Not for polite company.
Combine the four in various flavors.
The Holocaust just drove traditional Leftist hatred below ground.
- they didn’t.
If you abstract away reality enough, you can turn morality on its head and sell wrong for right. You don’t have to fool everyone, just a sizable minority.
You have to understand that Democrats view that both the United States and Israel are on stolen land with no right to exist.
That is the goal of the Democrat party
Jews have been formally evicted from most countries in the civilized world.
It was only in the 1800s that a movement was started to change the perception the rest of the world had of the Jews, Christians preached and taught the Jews where the synagogue of satan. The killer of Christ.
So this attitude is more of a return to the norm for the Jews. With the exception of most Christians today.
I think this is sort of the plan for them until they come back to God by accepting the Messiah.
It was their rejection of the Messiah that got them scattered and rejected.
There is a bit more to the whole thing ... but be sure it is all part of the plan.
And be sure God will take care of the animals that attacked them.
Signs of the time ... Please don't mis-read my thoughts here , this is not an anti Jewish screed. Just an attempt to see a little historical clarity. Many Christians just assume we have always supported the Jews and always will. ...... not the case I'm afraid.
the left rejects Christ 1000000 times more than Jews do.
I’ve been listening to this crap for 60 years now. It originally sprang from Soviet propaganda. Then the Marxists in the universities took it over. Israelis are intentionally slaughtered, and these frauds could care less. Ignore them when they put on the same shabby show. I feel sorry for the Arab people who are sacrificed for some coward’s ideology.

But quite a few leftists ARE Jews—at least by descent!!
“Nothing is simple.”
obamas friend Bill Ayers who killed several people with bombs and guns was a university professor.
” rejects Christ 1000000 times more”
Do you know the “official” position of the Jews?
Ever read any of the Talmud?
at least the Jews are worshipping the same God. The left rejects God completely and embraces Satan.
Have you ever talked to a missionary to the Jews?
