This is very scary.
I know this is way off the subject but M-i-c-k-i (dig the spelling) is a guy??
Good post. I am surprised the East Bay Express published it.
marked for later. Good so far.
Today, they are tie-dyed.
So when are we going to get the Armegeddon thing on? I'm ready.
What shocks me is that mst of the jews on college campuses today are raving leftists apologetic to the palestinian cause. If the damn palestinians on campus would keep their jewish hatred to themselves, most of the nieve jews would support them anyway.
My rabbi has always told me that the biggest anti-semites are the jews themselves. With their appeasement to the same people that brutally want to kill them and drive them into the sea in israel their will eventually kill themselves. The same leftist in this country who take the pallies side in everything are too dumb to figure out that after the jihadists kill all the jews, they are next. First the saturday people, then the sunday people.
I know and have met a lot of Cal grads in N. California.
I don't remember a single conservative from my age 65 to the new grads. A few are moderates, and most after the moderate facade is peeled back are anti Americans.
Sometimes the anti Israel feelings have be coaxed out. A simple question/statement like "If Israel wasn't there any more, would there be a Middle East Problem?
I have been surprised at the anti Israel/Jew venom that often flows out when that question is answered by these Cal grads.
Howevever this feeling is not just from liberal college grads.
We have a couple of young conservative relatives who have union people working for them.
From the 30+ age group union worker to the retired union thugs, the hatred of Israel and Jews is often rampant. One of our nephews when he hears these rants against GW, Israel and the Jews, says that it is very easy to think that he is back in Germany in the 1930's with GW representing the Christian opposition to the Nazi Worker Thugs with the old Jewish hatred still alive in these thugs.

If you distill the essence of liberalism, you find fear and hatred.

Yep, Israel was at the very top of the list of radical causes back in the Sixties. That's why all those Communist countries were so fricking pro-Israel for all those years. [/sarcasm]
For many in their parents' generation, however, Israel is not a rats' nest of fascism and right-wing aggression, but a socialist and largely secular paradise where the ideas of the midcentury left finally bore fruit.
So they had a "great leader" who ruled unelected and unopposed for fifty years like Kim Il Sung and Fidel Castro? Wow. I didn't know that. Did their soldiers fight against ours in Vietnam as well?
Frankenstein believes the protesters recognized him as a supporter of Israel and an opponent of Students for Justice in Palestine. As a student senator that spring, he had been openly pro-Israel. His parents used to smuggle books to Jewish refuseniks in the USSR, and one of his earliest memories is of chanting, "Let my people go!" at a rally outside San Francisco's Soviet Consulate. Far from silent on the student senate floor, Frankenstein had opposed a proposal that Cal become a sister school with a Palestinian university. The registered Democrat remembers his critics calling him a "conservative Zionist bastard" and proclaiming, "Frankenstein supports killing innocent children in the Middle East."
Well goodness knows, if I grew up protesting outside the Soviet embassy I'd sure be a "registered Democrat." I'm sure Stokely Carmichael was a close ally on this issue.
All this goes to show that many American Jews still live in the same world as Pat Buchanan: a world where Israel is classified with the Sandinistas and the PLO with anti-Communism.
The chickens are finally coming home to roost. But will people who think Yehoshu`a Bin Nun was a social worker be able to learn the lessons?
I'm sorely tempted to post a huge honking "schadenfreude" about the *liberal* Jews in our country, but this is too scary and serious a subject to consider it. Liberal Jews have cozied up to the Left for God knows how long now and it's finally biting them in the posterior. I sit here reading this article and find myself floored -- anyone who has followed the history of the Left, whenever it has attained real power in the world, should know that it is no friend of Judiasm (or any moral, right-thinking religious person). Yet, the manner in which the Left has blind-sided them is just staggering.
bttt
Sometimes I look at the world as it's going, and I really wish that I believed in pre-trib.
