The Crisis of Anti-Semitic Violence
NY Times ^ | 24 May 2021 | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 05/25/2021 2:44:22 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Violence between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East is often accompanied by spikes in anti-Semitic activity in the United States, but what’s happened over the last week or so has been different.

As Jonathan Greenblatt, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, put it to me, Jewish organizations are somewhat inured to, say, pro-Palestinian graffiti on a synagogue following a protest. What’s new, and more reminiscent of the sort of anti-Semitic aggression common in Europe, is flagrant public assaults on Jews — sometimes in broad daylight — motivated by anti-Zionism.

In Los Angeles, for example, a caravan waving Palestinian flags stopped near a sushi restaurant in West Hollywood, where men got out and attacked diners sitting outside. A witness recalled them asking, “Who’s Jewish?” In New York, a 29-year-old Jewish man on his way to a pro-Israel rally was beaten and pepper-sprayed by a group of men hurling anti-Semitic slurs. In southern Florida, men in an S.U.V. reportedly pelted a visiting Jewish family with garbage and shouted: “Free Palestine” and “We’re going to rape your daughter. We’re going to rape your wife.”

What’s distinct about these attacks, said Greenblatt, is “the brazenness and the boldness.”

The NYT changed the headline on this story. The original headline was:

Or as Jim Treacher likes to say, “When Republicans screw up, that’s the story. When Democrats screw up, the Republicans’ reaction is the story.”

The NYT, as much as any mainstream media source, has long demonized Israel as the oppressors in this conflict. And they have chutzpah to write this article.

Jews should move to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, etc. Then they will get a commendation for shooting anyone who tries to attack them. Stay in New York... live with the consequences.

Liberal Jews who have supported immigration from Muslim countries might want to reconsider their position. Unfortunately, because of dumb immigration policies that liberals have pushed on us, we now have anti-Israeli representatives in Congress and a growing voter bloc of people who are steeped in anti-Semitism. U.S. support for Israel is now being attacked from within.

Yet, they vote overwhelmingly for more Dems and more of the same policies.
The question is, why?

Jewish people should be appalled at any violence toward their community. Looking forward to the day when anti-white violence receives the same reaction.

Anyone who could not see this coming a mile away (really 100 miles away) is as dumb as a pile of bricks. Ditto for those surprised that an economically powerful China has become our strategic adversary.

It always floors me how supposedly “smart” people who have the “best interests of the US as heart” could support such policies. Someone is not being honest about something.

Group think and double think go hand in hand.

If I were a Jew living in New York City (or any Democrat controlled big city) I would either move elsewhere or start carrying (after a little practice elsewhere) in spite of local laws. If I moved, I would reconsider my “group think.”

Goldberg personifies what’s wrong with much of Jewish American Polity. She claims to celebrate her ‘cultural’ Jewish identity, but rejects the Torah that God gave to Her ancestors when he brought them out of the House of Bondage. Her soul is defiled. She is drenched in the blood of the unborn. She despises righteous Christians because they, like the Orthodox Jew, actually revere and try to live by the principles of the Sinaitic Revelation. She sees such people as ignorant bigots, who must be eliminated. By logic therefore, she promotes a plethora of unclean ideas and practices. I feel sorry for her; this poor woman is at war with herself, and her true identity. The stench of her affectations rises to Heaven. She will not be able to hide from the eyes of the Holy One on the Day of Judgement. Pray that she repents, and soon. It’s not too late.

Goldberg is the reporter responsible for this article about the replacement of white voters:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/opinion/stacey-abrams-georgia-governor-election-brian-kemp.html

The bottom line is that the rise in antisemitism both here and in Europe is the result of demographic change.

Anyone who votes Democrat or claims that restrictions on immigration are bigotry is responsible for that demographic change.

That includes Greenblatt and the ADL.
