If not the Crucifixion or the Protocol, then what?

Three articles appearing on the same day in three different publications discuss the rise of anti-Semitism in America. They used 2,170 words between them to name a new set of culprits for the phenomenon, and they suggested a number of ways to solve the problem. But not one word was uttered to ask what should the Jewish leaders do, or what role they should play to alleviate the situation.

The day was February 17, 2017 when Jonathan S. Tobin asked: “Who's Encouraging Anti-Semitism?” in an article that was published in National Review Online. On that same day, the editors of the New York Times asked another question and responded to it in this manner: “Donald Trump's Answer to Anti-Semitism? You don't want to know.” And then there were the editors of the New York Daily News who cried out: “Speak up, Mr. President,” telling their readers that: “Trump needs to find his voice on a wave of anti-Semitism in America”.

Perhaps Tobin is not old enough to remember a time when the vogue that was raging among the Jewish pundits was to blame anti-Semitism on Christianity for maliciously perpetuating the “myth” that the Jews crucified Jesus. And they blamed anti-Semitism on Pope Pius XII whom they accused of not speaking against the mistreatment of Jews during the Second World War. They also blamed it on the Protocol of the Elders of Zion which, they complained, describes the Jews as conspirators plotting to control the world. And they blamed it on William Shakespeare whom, they lamented, callously wrote the Merchant of Venice.

Tobin mentions none of that because he is a member of the cabal that mutilates history and/or rewrites it to suit the moment. The new vogue being to blame the ills of the Jews on the Left and everything associated with it, he made a list of these people and those things, and came down on them like a ton of bricks. He begins by absolving Donald Trump of the anti-Semitic charge that was leveled against him, and then attacks the “liberal Jews and the Anti-Defamation League” who accused Trump of “harboring Jew haters” in his administration.

Having said that Trump was no worse than being “tone-deaf” at times, Tobin trains his big gun on the “Islamists and the leftist anti-Zionists who seek to single-out Jews and supporters of Israel for opprobrium and violence.” He claims that “the BDS movement has been directly responsible for an increase in anti-Semitic incidents on college campuses.” He also claims that “support [for anti-Semitism] comes from the Democratic party,” which is why he urges the readers to “look at Representative Keith Ellison – the leading candidate for chair of that party.” And he goes after Senator Robert Menendez whom, he says, used to be a stalwart friend of Israel but then “raised the specter of dual loyalty for American Jews,” prompting his name to be added to the list.

As to the editors of the New York Times – considered to be of the Left – they do not blame the Left for the rise of anti-Semitism in America, but blame none other than Donald Trump himself. They make the point that anti-Semitic incidents increased in America because the fear mongering that's done by his right-wing administration was encouraging xenophobia and racism. In addition, instead of condemning those incidents, Trump says nothing about them because: “He lacks the principles and moral understanding that most Americans want to see in their presidents,” say the editors of the New York Times.

And there are the editors of the New York Daily News. They argue that “there is little doubt that coincident with Trump's rise, Jew hatred has come out of the American woodwork from the Right and from the Left.” But despite the fact that “it is the duty of any American leader to condemn any upsurge in hate crimes,” the editors of the Daily News complain that Trump “made not a single statement saying that anti-Semitism is repulsive”.

So now we are expected to know and retain – until further notice – who was responsible for the scourge of anti-Semitism before the rise of Donald Trump, and are expected to know and retain who is responsible for it after the rise of Donald Trump. The responsible are everyone and everything except the Jewish leaders who are always in the forefront blaming everyone and everything except themselves.

And yet, it is because the Jewish leaders are of this mentality that we know, and have retained who the real culprits have always been. They were the Jewish leaders and no one else. But because they are the problem they pretend to solve, the problem will never be solved. And the consequence shall continue to be what it has been for thousands of years. It will be pogroms and holocausts for the innocent Jews who have no idea what their leaders are doing to them.
