The time is now to confront rising anti-Semitism
Boston Herald ^ | 16 Dec 2019 | Jeff Robbins

Posted on 12/17/2019 3:44:15 PM PST by Rummyfan

On Saturday night, British journalist Hannah Partos was on a bus in central London, returning to her home. “(A) group of men behind me just started shouting ‘Are there any Jews on the bus, Jews get off the bus, (expletive) Jews,’ ” Partos live-tweeted. “I was shocked, turned around, thought of saying ‘yes, me, please stop.’ Thought better of it. Never seen anything like it.”

Partos’ ordeal in the middle of the capital of the world’s great parliamentary democracy is sickening to consider, but unsurprising. The most civilized nations, no less than others, are gripped by a tsunami of anti-Semitism, and it grows uglier and uglier, with Jews trapped in a pincer movement from the hard left and the hard right. Any conceit that this cancer has not metastasized in America is fanciful. The Anti-Defamation League’s annual audit of anti-Semitic incidents found that anti-Semitic assaults, harassment and vandalism have reached near-historic levels. Last Tuesday two anti-Semitic ideologues slaughtered innocents in a kosher market in Jersey City. On Saturday, around the same time thugs were threatening Jews on Partos’ London bus, a Beverly Hills synagogue was broken into, its prayer shawls and books purposefully desecrated. There is no sugar-coating it: This is the new normal.

In Boston last week, David Harris, the peripatetic head of the American Jewish Committee whose formidable diplomatic skills led the late Israeli President Shimon Peres to dub him “the foreign minister of the Jewish people,” identified “the three sources of the problem — extreme left, extreme right and jihadism,” and spoke about his organization’s focus on confronting it: mobilizing civic society and governments to fight back. There are, Harris observes, numerous factors in the virulence, the insidiousness and the spread of anti-Jewish hatred. “The Holocaust is a fading memory in an increasingly ahistorical world,” Harris says.

Not sure why you are asking me. Read my post #18. I think most or all would agree with me.

Agree 100%..!

It's so nutty out there, there are even unsavory types suggesting that a disproportionate number of those at the center of The Coup are, uh.....members of the tribe..!

No, really..!

And then on extra whacky days they even go and say reckless things that SOME of the people flying out to that, uh, Bad Caribbean Island are also...!

Or that almost most lefty revolutionaries have been, too. Maybe they'll claim the CHUPACABRA is also..?! Or that Dershowitz is.

Gevalt, is there NOTHING they won't sink to..?

What's NEXT, a pogrom..?!

There is NO evidence for their nutty, over-the-top claims..!

In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people,

WHO are you talking about, this WE...?

Did you fall down a flight of stairs?

I've never seen you get crazy like this.

I can't understand why you feel that YOU owe a ton of stuff to billionaires, in return for something done on the other side of the planet.

Well, it’s been a foul cultural, academia, and ESPECIALLY media trend for decades now.

I have never understood why neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and anti-Semitic kooks are called “far right.” I consider myself a conservative and I have nothing in common with these nuts. They are not on the right, as far as I’m concerned.

Remarkable, here I am in the supposedly “anti-Semetic” south where we justly revere OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP, and I’ve not seen a bit of this evil in OVER THIRTY YEARS.

The alleged hostility between Jews and Southerners (meaning white Southerners; Black Southerners somehow don't count) is part of the long-going process destroying any concept of modern Jews as the children of the Ancient Israelites. This is also why traditionally G-d is on the Right and the Jews on the Left. Two thousand years ago a new religion appropriated the Jewish heritage and re-defined Jews as chrstianity's irreverent, free-thinking bad guys. Thus G-d, the South, and (implicitly) the Hebrew Bible are all anti-Semitic.

No people on earth is so closely associated in the mass mind with the Hebrew Bible than white Fundamentalist Protestant Southerners. The "new testament" is not a factor since it is held also by the liberal "philo-Semitic" chrstians. Thus the Hebrew Bible (the "old testament") is the primitive seedbed of "traditional anti-Semitism."

Two thousand years of brainwashing have resulted in an "official Jewish leadership" who believe the Jewish mission is to promote secularism and secular moral codes, and to lead the world to a G-dless utopian future. In fact, it is actually a bit of a (lehavdil!) "passion play" in which the Jews are metaphorically scourged, tortured, and ultimately killed in order to "rise again" to teach the world that it can no longer afford to believe in the outdated notion of objective religious truth. This worldview is most certainly not of Jewish origin, yet the entire world unconsciously (including most Jews) simply cannot connect the dots between modern Jews and ancient Israelites.

At the bottom of it all are `Amaleq, chrstianity, inverted chrstianity, and fear of a "frum" planet. And plenty of people on the "right" buy it, as FR's own troup of anti-Semites illustrates.

Dual citizenship needs to be made illegal for any politician running for an American seat.

It did not come from the “far right” in Germany. The NAZIs were a phenomenon of the LEFT. They were SOCIALISTS which is a LEFT ideology. NAZIs were designated as “right” because they were locked into a contest for dominance with Communism, that other major grouping of the LEFT.

Oh I agree. They are just making a general statement to satisfy their.... beliefs. The real anti-Semitism is from the left.

The Democrats in Congress are the heart of the new “political anti-Semitism” of the Omars and Tlaibs and Waters, etc.

We have some of the most ethically, religiously, and morally corrupt Jewish politicians in US history in the Senate (and the House). I grew up a few blocks from Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md). He lived about Sequoia Avenue, we peasants lived just below it. Never did mix. His parents, however, were well respected Jewish activists/charities (and the father Meyer was a judge). Cardin was a political-wannabee.

He is so damned dumb that I fell asleep at a speech he gave at a Jewish awards dinner, about the environment, something I have been working professional on (superfund site cleanups) for decades. His ignorance was on full display that night and continues till this day.

Schumer - He’d make a great communist KGB leader. Evil, ambitious and traitorous to the core. Similar to his earlier successor in Congress, Bella Abzug. If she wasn’t both a secret member of the Communist Party USA (she was but the documents are “not found”) and a KGB asset (since her days as a US delegate to the KGB legal front, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers - her National Lawyers Guild, CP created and controlled, was the US chapter of the IADL), then I’m a teapot.

There isn’t one Jewish Democrat in Congress I would trust, and I’m not only a former congressional aide, but a Jewish reporter and activist of long standing (since 1963). They are all worthless, useless, and undependable, even the so-called “moderate ones”. IT was the moderate ones who deceived our European Jews to stay in Germany/Austria because Hitler didn’t want to hurt them. That’s why I have no European family - all executed or gas by the “good, harmless Germans”.

To me, a Liberal Jewish politician is a worse enemy of the Jewish people than the hardcore anti-semites, who at least tell you who they are and what they want. Our “KAPOS” want political power and will be glad to get it over the bodies of decent, patriotic, non-Democrat Party addict Jews.

Put a swastika on Schumer, a dunce-cap on Cardin, and call it the 1930’s all over again.

Madmax, proud American, proud Jew, proud father of a Jewish American Iraqi veteran and Iraqi veteran son-in-law, and put a little time in Nam/Cambodia on our side.
