CommentsTHE DOCTOR IS IN - For reasons that escape so many of us, it's deemed to be "pro-Jewish" and "pro-Israel" to cavort with the openly-declared enemies and mortal dangers to Jews both here at home and abroad.
Israel's greatest mortal threat, and sponsor of terrorist activities against Jews throughout the world--Iran--and we're kissing up to them for oil. Even as they rebuff President Biden, Iran's religious fanatical leaders are being kissed up to for oil.
Palestinians who give sweets to celebrate the terrorist-caused deaths of innocent civilians (including two Ukrainian nationals!)...well, that's just OK.
Because it's the ever-loving-of-violence Palestinians who almost got virtually everything they wanted from Israel when former-President Clinton brokered the Oslo Accords who are the victim. Even if--from Munich to the present day--Palestinian leadership eschew diplomacy and favor violence against every person who gets in their way.
And the Israelis who've opted to defend themselves? They are the bad guys, even though every doggone one of the territorial concessions to the Palestinians has led to MORE, and not less terrorism (let's just drop the silly pretense that any Israeli settlements make one difference in any true land-for-peace deals with the Palestinians, please!).
Former-President Trump and his Secretary of State Pompeo's siding with Israel and creating a host of Arab-Israeli partnerships with Israel's Arab neighbors? That's for some reason anti-Semitic.
Embracing BDS in our colleges and business institutions in the U.S., while Israel is as close to a 51st state as any on Planet Earth? Embracing Iran, as aforementioned, and threatening a nuclear war in the Mideast?
That's for some reason helpful to Jews and the rest of us.
Both Ukraine and Russia have just horrible records of anti-Semitism. Ukraine cooperated fully with the Nazis to exterminate the Jews during World War Two, while Russia sent untold numbers of Jews to gulags and/or certain death for decades after World War Two.
And while Putin is the one who's the bad guy now (seriously!) because HE started the violence against Ukraine, and while Zelenskyy of Ukraine is Jewish, is Ukraine in any position to cuckold Israel because of their lack of military support?
But President Biden and the Far Left (including many, inexplicably except perhaps some sort of cultural "guilt", who are Jewish) are not called to task for defending Jews, either here at home or abroad or in Israel itself.
We now have a political Right who is as pro-Jewish and pro-Israel as any group of Americans in history, and we now have a political Left is as antisemitic and bigoted against Jews and Israel as any group of Americans in history.
Yet President Biden and the Far Left claim to take ownership against antisemitism when they enable it the most, and everything done to defend Jews is declared antisemitic.
Everything has become upside-down, and perhaps Jews need to die en masse (yet again!) for even President Biden and the Left to figure out that THEY, and not some nameless Right Wing, are the biggest danger to every Jew reading this article, and every Jew throughout Planet Earth.
