The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival makes itself a forum for anti-Israel films
American Thinker ^ | 06/16/2024 | Andrea Widburg

Many Jews have been so ideologically captured by the left that they compulsively identify with and feel endless sympathy for the people in Gaza and the West Bank, most of whom are open in their desire for mass Jewish slaughter, the more sadistic, the better. The latest example of this madness is the upcoming San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (“SFJFF”), which is making itself a showcase for pro-Gaza and anti-Israel grievance films.

The SFJFF has long (always?) leaned left. That’s because the Jewish Film Institution, which sponsors it, is a left-leaning organization. That comes through loud and clear in the last paragraph of its verbose mission statement, which has a lot of airy-fairy nothingness that boasts about its Jewishness while saying nothing actually Jewish (as in, the Torah or core Jewish values). In that last paragraph, though, it gets very specific:

We value the unique perspectives offered by people of every race, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, age, physical appearance, language spoken, immigration status, and socioeconomic background. We prioritize continuous learning of anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-discriminatory practices in our organizational culture and programs. We strive to reflect our communities’ complexity in our Board and staff composition.

The only thing missing is a land acknowledgment for its San Francisco offices.

There is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to the American Jewish community.

The logic of leftism inevitably pushes leftists into antisemitism. Leftist Jews are no exception.

No exception. In fact, they are the ring leaders. Self-loathing Jews.

Biden made a big mistake sticking with Israel for too long during this war with Hamas. He should have quickly pivoted and supported the Palestinian cause hugely popular with his base. His misguided support for Israel may have cost him votes with important constituencies.

Same for Israeli Jew that share this sentiment. Shimon Peres devotees.

SF Jews. Pretty much self explanatory. Board the train? Yup!

Will they be showing the old German film Jud Süß (1940) or the earlier film Jew Süss (1934)?
