For several decades, the self-appointed Jewish leaders have been blaming everyone for the rise of antisemitism in America as it has been in the rest of the world.
It was easy to determine that the Jewish blame game was
faulty because when the leaders placed the blame on American factors, they
could not explain the rise of antisemitism around the world. And when they
placed the blame on international factors, they could not explain how the
multitude of factors interacted with the local cultures to produce the same
antisemitic result.
And so, whereas most of the Jewish leaders remained unruffled
by the logical discrepancy, a few reviewed their thinking and felt obliged to
revise their stance. Searching for a common origin to the rise of antisemitism
around the world, they had no choice but to point the finger at Israel and its criminal
activities in occupied Palestine.
The rise of a revisionist group of Jews motivated the
unrepented Jewish leaders to revise the definition of antisemitism. They widened
it so much as to encompass criticism of Israel. And because they had to create
a new argument that would legitimize their assertions, they said that Israel was
the “eternal” home of the Jewish people; a place that must remain above
criticism. In fact, they asserted that to criticize Israel was to threaten its
existence thus advocate its abolishment. If this were to happen, it would deny
the Jews the right of self-determination in a home of their own, a flagrant denial
of the Jewish human rights.
The rift between the unrepented Jews, and those who
revised their thinking to take into account the realities of what surrounds
them, quickly transformed into a haggling match of the political kind. You’ll
get a taste of that when you read the article that came under the title: “The
American Left Sows the Seeds and Waters the Roots of Anti-Semitism,” written by
Richard Moss and published on December 8, 2022 in the online magazine The
American Thinker.
Standing on the Right side of the political spectrum,
Richard Moss began his discussion by defending the former President Donald
Trump who came under criticism because of what he said and what he didn’t say
over the years with regard to groups reputed to be White Supremacists — and
lately because of the objectionable individuals he has been hosting at his
Mar-a-Lago property.
Rejecting the argument that you cannot judge America’s
Jews by judging what Israel does or what happens to it, Richard Moss brushed
aside the criticism that was leveled against Donald Trump, and urged his
readers to look instead at what the former president did for Israel. Moss’s
point being that what’s good for Israel is good for America’s Jews and
vice-versa, he wrapped his argument in a political envelop that was also
infused with the subject of antisemitism. Here is that pregnant argument:
“A cursory exam of the record will demonstrate that Trump is
the most pro-Israel, pro-Jewish president we have ever had. It would be useful
to compare the records of Trump, the Democrat Party, and the Jewish left
regarding their treatment of the Jewish people and the state of Israel, and to
determine the true epicenter of anti-Semitism in America and around the world
today”.
And while he was at it, why not try to get even more
persuasive by mentioning the following realities:
“Members of Trump’s immediate family are Jewish — Ivanka
converted to Judaism when she married her Jewish husband; Trump has Jewish
grandchildren that he adores. Jews have been influential consultants and
advisors throughout his long career in business and his
administration. While the broad American Jewish community did not support
Trump in 2016, he was very popular among observant Orthodox Jews and nearly 75%
of Israelis approve of Trump”.
With all this under Trump’s belt, Richard Moss felt
confident enough to argue that what Donald Trump did for Israel on the
international stage, is a reflection of the genuine love he has for Israel and
the so-called Jewish people. And so, he enumerated Trump’s gifts to Israel, which
are the following:
Trump moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem. He ended the Iran nuclear deal whereas the
Jewish left and the Democratic Party defended it. He ended payments to the PLO
which supports the families of freedom fighters who stand up to the terrorist
Jewish settlers. Trump also stopped funding UNRWA, and pulled the US out of the
UN Human Rights Council, an institution the Jews consider hostile to Israel.
But while Donald Trump was doing all this for America’s
Jews and for Israel, what did America’s Left do in Richard Moss’s estimation?
Here is what the Left did, according to him:
Obama was an associate of anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan. The
first two Muslim women elected to Congress, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, are
Democrats and support the BDS movement. Keith Ellison, Congressman and former
attorney general was a member of the Nation of Islam. Al Sharpton, a Black
supremacist, has referred to Jews as blood-sucking, bastards and White
interlopers. He spoke at the Democrat national convention, and was a
frequent guest at Obama’s White House. Franklin Foer, Julia Ioffe, Dana Milbank,
Roger Cohen, Peter Beinart, and others represent a clique of powerful left-wing
Jewish commentators and columnists who attack Israel routinely and condemn
Trump for defending it.
Worse than all of that, billionaire George Soros undermines
Israel by funding left wing Jewish groups engaged in anti-Israel projects —
they include: J Street, Jewish Voice for Peace, New Israel Fund, If Not Now,
Breaking the Silence, and B’Tselem. Soros is a leading contributor to the
Democrat Party. Leftism has also infected non-orthodox synagogues. The leaders
of the Reform and Conservative movements have delivered their flagship
institutions into the hands of Jewish anti-Semites. The Reform invited
Michael Chabon, an outspoken hater of Israel, as their keynote
speaker. The Conservative leadership invited the anti-Zionist group ‘If
Not Now’ to train counselors at one of its largest summer camps.
So, you see, my friend, all these occurrences are signs
that the Jewish blame game will soon be over because the Jewish majority will have
discovered that throughout the centuries, Jews had no one to blame for their
misery but themselves.
