Anti-Semitism Is Creeping Into Progressivism
Time ^ | Jun 30, 2017 | Jonathan A. Greenblatt

Posted on 07/11/2017 4:21:38 AM PDT by SJackson

Last weekend, organizers of a gay pride parade in Chicago ejected three people carrying pride flags emblazoned with a Jewish Star of David. Subsequent bizarre statements attempting to rationalize their action, claiming that Zionism is “an inherently white supremacist ideology” only exacerbated the sense that the organizers were deaf to the concerns of the Jewish community and engaged in anti-Semitism — denying Jews the same rights that were extended to other participants, basically to celebrate their identities as Jewish queer women.

While this incident could be dismissed as one fringe group in one city, the fact is that it does represent a wider school of thought that is fueling a trend of creeping anti-Semitism among some segments of the political left.

Over the past year, we have seen other examples that have raised eyebrows as intersectional intolerance has sprung up among the progressive community. Similar stories to the one in Chicago were reported at the Celebrate Israel Parade in New York City earlier this month.

Last summer, a plank in the platform of the Movement for Black Lives bizarrely accused Israel of genocide.

Linda Sarsour, a leader of the women’s rights movement, has lambasted Zionism as incompatible with feminism and advocates for the exclusion of pro-Israel Jews from activist groups.

I guess I have never considered it in the non-modern historic perspective before.

And that FR post you linked to was a good post. On the money.

Greeenblatt and his ilk could be marched into gas chambers by fellow Leftists and they’d blame the “alt-right” en route.

It has been in there dancing a flamenco for a hundred years.

“I know Leftists live constantly with an enormous amount of cognitive dissonance in their minds (which explains their bizarre and seemingly unhinged behavior at times) but this one takes the cake for me.”

The other thing with Leftists is that they spend their every waking hour looking for something to be “offended about!” The are always at the ready waiting to pounce on you for a position or comment you might make. It seem to be a great part of their entire motivational process. And “inequality” or “racism” seem to be the top “themes” in the cognitive dissonant lives.

"Anti-Semitism Is Creeping Into Progressivism"

And in other news, Usain Bolt is creeping into running.

The head of the Soros Defense League has been forced to address LEftist Antisemitism, and even then, he downplays it. At the same time, he still defends Linda Sarsour

And one of the goals of the Frankfurt School is the end of Judaism and Jewishness.

Creeping? It’s more like a linebacker blitz.

>>And one of the goals of the Frankfurt School is the end of Judaism and Jewishness.

And by extension...

"In 2004, Jewish author Nathan Abrams wrote in “The Jewish Quarterly” that “Jews were also at the vanguard of the sexual revolution in the 1960’s. Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse, and Paul Goodman replaced Marx, Trotsky, and Lenin as required revolutionary reading”.

Abrams also refers to an interview with Al Goldstein, the Jewish publisher of Screw Magazine who claimed “the only reason Jews are in pornography is that we think Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks, we don’t believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture”."

...Christianity.

There is nothing new under the Aten.

“Creeping Into”?

SMH. The entire premise is historically disingenuous and disinformative.

They have always been this way.
Hitler was the leader of a national socialist party.

The term “progressive” need to be re branded anyway. They are not progressive at all.
They are actually regressive; back to old and tired ideas.

Grievance leads leftist Jews and Jews of Leftist descent to attack Christianity. But they have first either expropriated Judaism into oblivion with a leftist attack on it, or they are atheists who despise Judaism first. The leftist assualt on Christianity only came after the assault on Judaism.

Grievance destroys the mind and soul. And it has blinded you to the leftist assault on Judaism. I can cite leftist "Christians" and even "Christian Clergy" to claim that Christianity is leftist using your example. But it is pathetic cant.

Attempt rational thought about Jews. If a claim about Jews would be illogical applied to Christians, the claim is illogical.

PS. Posting the onanistic rants of the right wing useful retards of Cultural Marxists does not help your case. Here is a reality check for those with grievance-addled brains and room temperature IQs. Antisemitism especially by European Nationalists is a suicide cult after Hitler. It poisons everything they touch allowing the left to call it Nazi. These people are the useful idiots, tools, and often allies of the cultural marxists they claim to fight. Their mental illness does not allow them to see it. You should see the Nazi Untermenschen and Alt-Right onnanists censor anyone telling them the truth, much less using their language to do it.

It’s not my “case”.

The ethnicity of the originators of Cultural Marxism ala the Frankfurt School is what it is.

Cultural Marxism attacks and seeks to destroy everything that constitutes and sustains Western Culture.   Of course it's going to attack orthodox Judaism and Christianity with equal enthusiasm.

>>I can cite leftist "Christians" and even "Christian Clergy" to claim that Christianity is leftist using your example. 

Those would be the numerous religious organizations operating in the spirit of anti-Christ who have always coveted Christ's bride - His Church. 

The organization Neil Gorsch put his family under the purview of in the People's Republic of Boulderistan is an example.

They've perverted forgiveness of sin into permission to sin.  It's a clever abomination and perversion.

It's rooted in the same covetous mentality exhibited by Korah and his associates towards the relationship God established between Himself and the faithful children of Israel represented by Moses and God's law.

It seems Korah and company were happier when they were part of the ruling theocratic caste in Egypt, or something.
