Somebody should write an anti-homo piece and see how quick the university walks all over their First Amendment rights.
“I want to state publicly, in the strongest possible terms, that the only subject we meant to parody was Marcus, whose work the Medium staff has found as something more than suitable for parody,” she wrote. “This piece was not an attack on any religious or ethnic group. It was not an attack on defenseless private citizens. The article we wrote was about Marcus, a sometimes controversial public persona. “
I interpret this to mean that the “parody” piece was meant to equate standing for Israel with standing for Nazi Germany.
This has been the far Left’s stance on Israel for a very long time. Trying to put a happy face on this hit piece is farcical.
But the question needs to be asked: Are Jews taking things too seriously? It wasn’t a swipe at the Jewish people or at Israel. It was a swipe at one person who has been speaking out.”
In other words don’t be the loud mouthed Jew. You might get hurt. And hey, try to keep your sense of humor.
I wonder if Marcus is a Democrat.
It is about time the Jewish community got wise to the fact that the Left is not their friend.
When you start advocating for something as a public figure, it is ridiculous to be expected not to be a target of mockery. I you don't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
This reminds me of the Jyllands-Posten cartoon incident. Muslims didn’t understand or respect the concepts of free speech and a free press then, and Jews show the same disdain and bully-boy tactics when one of their own sacred cows is satirized. The ADL is basically a supremacist organization bent on undermining cherished civic rights and made to look legit in the media, much like CAIR.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Did the issue contain any mockery of Mohammed? Islam? Muslims? Anti-Israel individuals or organizations?
Thought so.
