Rally to Combat Anti-Semitism Overloaded with Left-Wing Talking Points

We at Conference of Jewish Affairs, though not sponsors of the "No Fear" rally held Sunday, July 11 in D.C., did wish for its success inasmuch as a rally against anti-Semitism from well meaning people has many pluses. We were not active sponsors of the rally, since four decades of experience in Jewish organizational life have taught us some unassailable lessons and the need to beware. One of these lessons is that establishment Jewish organizations often use the legitimate concerns of the Jewish grassroots and turn them into public showcases that deny the true sources of anti-Semitism and focus on liberal-leftist goals more than the actual defense of Jews. Too often, instead of tackling anti-Semitism as a standalone evil, these events become platforms against "hate in general," thereby inoculating from criticism the very perpetrators and groups directly attacking the Jewish people. You see, criticizing the anti-Semitism coming from "intersectional" minority groups is now called "hate speech."

While the rally featured some inspiring young people whose dedication to the Jewish people was heart-warming, and while many of the speakers certainly had their heart in the right place and displayed a passion for Israel and Jewry, there were many high-profile speakers who predictably exploited the goodwill of those in attendance by promoting left-wing themes and pronouncing falsehoods, refusing to put the blame for many of the attacks, and the rhetoric behind the attacks, where it belongs.

Rabbi David Saperstein, from the Reform Religious Action Center, exploited his podium by pointing at the Capitol and proclaiming that on January 6, white extremism and anti-Semitism coalesced. But January 6 was not about anti-Semitism, nor about threats to Jews, though Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party keep trying to convince us it was.

Useless garbage.

You want to end antisemitism in the USA?

Stop importing Muslim savages.
End the welfare state and the resulting destruction of the black family
End federal student loans except the GI Bill and trade schools to shut down Marxism factories that pass as colleges
Treat ANTIFA and BLM as the terrorist organizations that they are

About 99% of antisemitism in the USA would disappear.

Rabbi Spero is a frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room. I highly recommend his book Push Back the battle to save America’s Judeo-Christian Heritage.

Maybe the author should tell Soros and others just like him to stop funding the destruction of the country.

[Dr. Ursus]

All problems have one source- Bolshevikism!

[Jewbacca]

In general, yep.

And also weird self-hatred of whites (in which group I am including Jewish people for clarity) and western civilization of itself. But I think that may come from Bolshevikism, too.

Or maybe the ennui of rich, soft, people with no faith in G-d.
