David Harsanyi lives in the bubble of there being nothing before he came into existence, and then suddenly everything that surrounds him, appearing along with him. The man is simply incapable of fathoming the situation of everything he sees today having roots that go back to a time before he was even a glimmer of desire in his father’s eyes.
He wrote an article under the title: “For The Left,
‘Antisemitism’ Is Little More Than A Partisan Talking Point,” and the subtitle:
“Anti-Jewish sentiment is far from a
one-party problem.” It was published on November 29, 2022 in The Federalist.
On the surface, that article looks and feels like
Harsanyi has adopted a new approach to making his point, but in reality, the
article is made of the same old mix of cataloguing what he believes was done to
Jews, and whining about it endlessly. The one thing we can be thankful for,
however, is that he skipped the habit of citing endless statistics compiled by
his people and by the security apparatus of the country, all of which attest to
the reality that acts of antisemitism are rising in America along with the rest
of the world.
What makes the article look and feel different is that
David Harsanyi took on a Jewish columnist who rejected the old approach of
cataloguing what’s being done to Jews or whining about it. Even though she is
of his age group, she seems to know that whatever Harsanyi is whining about, is
nothing more than the boomerang his elders threw in he air decades ago, now
returning to hit him in the face, and will do so as long as he continues to
ignore the lessons of the past.
It is that if you multiply by 10,000 any compilation the
Jews can produce about the wrong that’s done to them today, you’ll get an idea
of how much wrong was done to the Arabs and the Muslims in the aftermath of the
1967 Israeli attack on its neighbors. It was a wrong of the most vicious kind,
done to the Arabs and Muslims by the Jews themselves and by those who believed
that the war in the Middle East signaled the return of the messiah who will be
here to effectuate great changes favoring Jews.
Thousands upon thousands, ranging from politicians and
journalists to Commoners and paupers, did the equivalent of throwing themselves
on the ground, flat on their faces, to be close to a Jewish boot they could
lick while cursing the Arabs and the Muslims and praising the messiah. Throngs
of misled and misguided ruffians fell into this degrading posture because they
thought that the messiah was going to make the Jews kings and queens of the
planet, and they hoped that the flattered Jews will give them a high office in
the empire they’ll build.
And what did the Arabs and the Muslims do in response?
They did nothing because they knew that anything they do would stir what the
Jews were producing. Realizing that this was raw sewage, they allowed the
incoming flow to rest one layer on top of another, and let the sunshine
disinfect the environment which the Jews and their sycophants were poisoning.
Whether or not the Jewish columnist that Harsanyi
targeted has read that history, she seems to know what the Arabs and Muslims
knew then. I can attest to that because I was there during all the time that
this was happening. The woman has adopted the attitude that should dampen
antisemitism if only the Harsanyis of his world would stop stirring the pot of
raw sewage.
But David Harsanyi is not stopping. Instead, he is trying
to build on what his elders started decades ago, not realizing that what goes
around comes around like a boomerang that has no pity for what the Jews did to
others or what is done to them now.
Another thing that Jews of the Harsanyi kind are doing,
not knowing that it hastens the return of the boomerang, is mix what is
essentially a matter of human dignity if not human rights, with the crassness
of politics. Mind you, it is not even politics of the polished kid but politics
of the mudslinging kind. What follows is the condensed form of what Harsanyi
has written in this regard:
“It must be privilege that explains how
a New Yorker could write a column about the resurgence of antisemitism during
the Trump era without once noting what was going on in her hometown. There have
been hundreds of attacks targeting Jews in New York, and only a single
perpetrator has served one day in prison. Mentioning that the culprits are
predominantly black or Hispanic, and live in one of the nation’s most left-wing
cities, would necessitate acknowledging that antisemitism can’t be neatly laid
at the feet of Republicans. That is inconvenient, no doubt”.
The prevailing politics in America nowadays concerns the
battle between the Left and the Right. It is a local concern with ramifications
that can influence nothing more than one party winning big this time, and being
tossed out of office the next time. By contrast, what we had at the time, was
an ongoing battle between a nuclear armed Communist Soviet Union and a nuclear
armed Capitalist America.
Despite the stakes being this high—and contrary to what
the Jews are doing now—none of us who wrote about the subject of our treatment,
tried to exploit the situation by scaring the readers as to what can happen if
things were not done our way.
The most that came from us was a limited number of letters
sent to the editors of existing newspapers. They were no more offensive to Jews
than the one I wrote informing the readers they should not listen to propaganda
because Egypt is a civilized country.
And what happened to me? I was cancelled for life. Nearly
60 years of what I could have accomplished, were I allowed to live a normal
life, were wiped out. And why is that? Because the Canadian Jewish Congress
convinced my government to declare war on me. It did so by putting the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police at its disposal, a bumbling organization of ignorant
fools who turned my life into a hellish existence.
