Antisemitism Is Alive And Well...On The Left, No Matter What The Media Pretend
[NYC: 10/14/2024]
In news that will surprise nobody who has been paying attention, Most antisemitic incidents can be attributed to the Left or to Islamists (let's not pretend...that IS Islam). Just take a look at any of the protests/riots against Israel's just war against the genocidal terrorists of Hamas in Gaza, and the political philosophy of the participants is glaringly obvious. Socialist/communist supporting signs, chants against "capitalism" and America, Antifa-aligned organizations, and the various Democrat front-groups...they are all there!
But the fellow travelers in the media tell a different story. They carefully minimize the presence of the Left and Islam in the vast majority of antisemitic incidents, and play up the vanishingly small number of so-called "White Supremacists" in America, who, according to the misinformation cabal at the NYT and the WaPo is responsible for the vast majority of those incidents.
But where are they? Who are they? Has anyone met a "White Supremacist?" Sure...the internet will point out a bunch of wackos running poorly designed websites decrying the mongrelization of America by the Jews and the Catholics, and all of the other ills that they bring to America. But show me their marches! Show me their tent cities on college campuses! Show me their violence against Jews! Show me their representatives in congress!
You can't, because as we all know, the far right kooks who espouse virulent antisemitism are a few thousand people, far past the lunatic fringe of politics in America. Yet the media are hellbent on convincing us of the impending Nazi takeover of American institutions! Every time some wackadoodle leftist paints a swastika on a school, it is blamed on the imaginary White Supremacist movement. But one of the hard left's favorite messages is that Israel and Zionism are akin to Nazism. That's why they put swastikas on Israeli flags.
And even worse, the media try to conflate that mythical "White Supremacist" movement with fundamentalist Christianity. They will trot out some fringe protestant church with a fire-and-brimstone preacher who rails against Jews and Catholics, ignoring the fact that most fundamentalists are supportive of Israel and Judaism.
Here is a taste of last week's antisemitism, although I have have linked to the original report because the article does not match the report's numbers.
Majority of antisemitic incidents committed by leftists, not Islamists or neo-Nazis, research find
The weekly Global Antisemitism Report published by the Combat Antisemitism Movement analyzed 113 incidents that targeted Jewish victims worldwide and found that 57.5% of the perpetrators were identified as far leftists, 22.1% of them were Islamists, 11.5% were unknown and 8.9% were done by far-right extremists.
This Week's GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT
If the media were even the tiniest bit honest, they would report the makeup of the mostly peaceful but always violent protests against Israel, Jews, Zionism, and more broadly, Western Culture. Does anyone believe that those riots are populated by right-wing activists who will be voting for Donald Trump in November?
