Jewish self-hatred is not new. In various sermons and studies about the first Passover, it has been noted by many commentators that the Hebrew text in Exodus indicates that as few as one-fifth of the Jews actually left Egypt with Moses. The majority wholeheartedly adopted a culture alien to the teachings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Secular American Jews want to blend in with the majority even if they have to join the Anti Semitic chorus. Memories of the holocaust run deep.
This is not about YOU and the NYT. The NYT is perhaps the leading general voice of news and worldview for the intellectual political left, i.e., that class of news shapers and entertainers which in turn shapes the worldview of the mass of middle America which is sympathetic to socialism and all of Progressive ideology (whether it realizes or understands it or not).
It is irrelevant whether YOU can ignore the image in the NYT.
that people have been desensitized to its inherent bigotry
We are given race hoaxes to keep the horses alarmed, but even horses get desensitized. PC keeps us in a perpetual state of crisis, devoid of any horse sense.
Well, you are right. The article topic though is explaining why jews are not that phased about the slimes, that it is because their ethics overrides their ethnicity. So, I figured I’d add to that, that even with conservative ethics, this jew cares deeply about Israel, but slimes is not even fit for a bird cage lining.
Regarding your point on the slimes being a god to progressives everywhere, that indeed is a major concern. It brings some solace that their readership from years ago is way down, their GLobe purchase was a failure, and they’ve had to raise their prices well beyond inflation due to declining readership. I look forward to a day the slimes costs a billion dollars per copy down to a circulation of 1.
Something like semi-anaphora? What’s the word for something there is no word for?
I didn’t like either the Stephens op-ed or the apology story in the BUSINESS SECTION!!!
I think the Times is intentionally anti-Semitic. It wasn’t an oversight by those out-of-touch jerks who do the International Edition. Nor do I accept any of the other excuses.
Plus no one mentioned that Netanyahu was made to look like an ugly woman. The dog’s ears like long hair, lipstick . . . Trump didn’t get that bad a treatment at all. That’s the essence of an anti-Semitic cartoon: to make the Jew LOOK ridiculous and ugly. No one mentioned that. It’s subconscious to most. And that’s why it works.
Stop it in its tracks. Don’t even patronize newsdealers who sell the Times. Get the Post by home delivery. Boycott them the way the Muslim newsdealers are boycotting the Post.
I’d also like to add that I don’t believe there is widespread Jewish self-hatred.
It is caution. And they have good reason to be cautious. Possibly some humility thrown in. But not hatred.
Yup
What I meant in comment 26 is that evil cartoons are DESIGNED to have a subconscious effect on the viewer. I didn’t mean that the cartoonist was subconsciously creating a vile cartoon.
I see that the Times is instituting some lessons for its staff in subconscious racism. OK. Good. But a cartoonist can consciously create a subconscious reaction in a viewer. The cartoonist is almost always racist at heart.
And I think there are fully conscious racists everywhere.
In no way did I intend to absolve the NY Times by the use of the word “subconscious.” I was referring to the viewer, who absorbs an evil message without realizing it.
