Mighty Morphin Power Jews
Kevin D. Williamson writes at NRO about what convenient scapegoats the Jews are for the left:
The Jews can be whatever their enemies need them to be. For Henry Ford and more than a few on the modern left, the Jews are the international bankers secretly pulling the strings of the global economy. As one widely circulated Occupy video put it: "The smallest group in America controls the money, media, and all other things. The fingerprints belong to the Jewish bankers who control Wall Street. I am against Jews who rob America. They are 1 percent who control America. President Obama is a Jewish puppet. The entire economy is Jewish. Every federal judge [on] the East Coast is Jewish."For those who learned at the feet of that old fraud Edward Said, the Jews are the colonialists, the European modernists inflicting capitalism and technology upon the noble savages of their imaginations. The Israeli Jews commit the double crime of insisting upon being Jews and refusing to be sacrificial victims. They were okay, in the Left's estimate, for about five minutes, back when Israel's future was assumed to be one of low-impact kibbutz socialism. History went in a different direction, and today Israel has one of the world's most sophisticated economies.
For the Jew-hater, this is maddening: Throw the Jews out of Spain, and they thrive abroad. Send them to the poorest slums in New York, and those slums stop being slums. Keep them out of the Ivy League and watch NYU become a world-class institution inspired by men such as Jonas Salk, son of largely uneducated Polish immigrants. Put the Jewish state in a desert wasteland and watch it bloom, first with produce and then with technology. Israel today has more companies listed on NASDAQ than any other country except the United States and China. The economy under Palestinian management? Olives and handicrafts, and a GDP per capita that barely exceeds that of Sudan.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is a bitter and ugly one. My own view of it is that the Palestinian Arabs have some legitimate grievances, and that I stopped caring about them when they started blowing up children in pizza shops. You can thank the courageous heroes of the Battle of Sbarro for that. Israel isn't my country, but it is my country's ally, and it is impossible for a liberty-loving American to fail to admire what the Jewish state has done.
More on the Jew-hate-apalooza from Kale Privilege -- specifically on SJW Jew hatred:
I'm not one to see racism and anti-Semitism in everything, but I have to say, the only place where I've seen more blatant anti-Semitism than on Tumblr is Stormfront.The hatred of Jews on Tumblr within the SJ community is usually thinly veiled hatred of white people (which we all know, is fine, and if you're white and you have a problem with people saying you need to be exterminated, you're just racist!) but in fact, when Tumblr SJWs get on the subject of Jews, their hatred seems to exceed their hatred for whites. I have even seen it said (not on Tumblr, but on another SJ-oriented site) that there is such a thing as "Jewish privilege" which extends beyond white privilege-and that Jews are being handed law and medical degrees for no reason at all other than being Jewish.
One wouldn't expect this kind of bigotry from SJWs, especially toward an ethnic group that has been systematically killed and persecuted for thousands of years. We are sympathetic to the effects of slavery (as we should be!) but already, the Holocaust is ancient history, and it's OK to joke about it, comparing victims of this horrible genocide with thin runway models-and even going as far as to compare being on a fucking diet to being in a concentration camp (looking at you, "fat acceptance" movement).
Of course, this stuff doesn't persist when the SJ blogger is Jewish- but if the SJ blogger is a "POC" or anyone who considers themselves less privileged than the Jews (including someone who is just fat and white, and who feels that having to eat healthy is akin to being in Auschwitz), get ready for a Jew-hating-palooza.
It's odd that the SJWs are so quick to brand Jews as whiter-than-white and more privileged than regular ol' whiteys, when they are so eager to claim POC status for the Sami people, the Romans, and other ethnic groups who (for all intents and purposes) usually look white. SJWs have claimed that Cleopatra was Black, Beethoven was Black, and even that George Washington was Black. But the Jews? White devils. Don't worry about "making sense", people. The Jews are so white that they're EVEN WORSE than white people.
While they're hating the Jews, they should be very glad about one thing -- that the people in the explosive vests are not a bunch of Ashkenazis.








One wouldn't expect this kind of bigotry from SJWs, especially toward an ethnic group that has been systematically killed and persecuted for thousands of years.
Must not know many SJWs, then. This is their MO. They have favored classes and unfavored classes.
And Jews are unfavored because they generally don't wallow around crying "woe is me!" And white.

Jewish culture values education, striving, and introspection. Victim culture does not.

Yeah okay fine, but where Israel's claim to soil is supernaturally granted, nobody should care.

And don't forget that Lincoln was a Republican, so all that anti-civil-rights stuff they pulled can TOTALLY be ignored.
Because honestly, if a writer can't color an entire group with a single brush, what good is revisionism anyway?
Not like this article, of course. There's no desperation here to gin up faux outrage during a difficult election season. Nope.

If Jews wanted Palestinians dead one tenth as bad as Palestinians want Jews dead, there would be no Palestinians.

If the Palestinians laid down their arms there would be peace.
If the Israelis laid down their arms there would be no Isreal.

Israel's claims to land aren't that mythical Crid. They fought for it and gained control by defeating other nation's armies. A rather classic method. The Palestinian's claims are pure magic thinking.
Now there are those who claim the 'rite of conquest' is illegal. Which is pretty moronic to me. For something to be illegal there must be laws. And there are only 'laws of war' to the extent that both sides agree to them. In the end the application of force is the only relevant criteria.

But the Jews practice ritual male infant circumcision...
That has to be the moral equivalent of ...oh, say, turning your kid into Jihadi suicide bomber. Right?

"One wouldn't expect this kind of bigotry from SJWs."
On the contrary, this is exactly the sort of thing one should expect from them. It is evident that there is a high concentration of the cluster B personality disorders among SJWs, including narcissistic, borderline, and sociopathic behavior. The worst bigotry comes from people who can convince themselves that their bigotry is morally justified, and narcissists have no problem doing that.
"For something to be illegal there must be laws. "
The ironic thing is, regarding the creation of Israel, there were laws of a sort, and it was under the aegis of those laws that Israel was created. Israel arose from a United Nations mandate at the end of WWII.

Right, because cash and blood are mythological concepts?
The land Israel was founded on was BOUGHT and paid for at inflated prices.
The land it expanded into were taken by right of conquest in a DEFENSIVE war.
If you are going to argue Israel doesnt deserve that land then you are also arguing that no government deserves any land as every square inch of this planet has been taken by conquests hundreds of times over

I can't wait to tell the folks at synagogue they are all white. It'll come as a big surprise to some of them.
Not all Jews are white-skinned.
