THE VIEW FROM HERE - Hamas’ most vital allies without whose support it would not have invaded Israel on October 7th are: (1) the US Wokers including Nancy Pelosi who wants aid already approved for Israel to be rescinded, and (2) the Woke US media. This fact hardly qualifies as news by anyone who takes the time to find out what Pelosi has been up to these last two decades or who watches the propaganda which we Americans call news. The days of Walter Cronkite are gone.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has worked tirelessly for decades to polarize America with her Identity Politics, which is now better known as Wokeism, where the world has two groups: Oppressors (Whites and Jews) and Oppressed (minorities). The answer to any problem is the same: White Racism especially Jews. The Oppressed are never responsible for any of their actions because White racism made them do it. Not only did Pelosi elevate anti-Semites to positions of power in Congress, but she propagated Woke DEI in American universities which systematically, in return for federal dollars, have removing Jewish faculty (and Blacks who dissented from Woke Dogma are similarly forced out). Pelosi’s power derives from her control of the pursue strings for DEM Congressional candidates.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and The American Jewish Committee (AJC)
The purpose of these institutions has been to fight bigotry in the United States in the belief that “None Is Safe When One Is Not Safe.” In other words, when we allow one person to be persecuted, anyone can be persecuted. As a result, these organizations supported America as the land of Freedom, which was based on individual inalienable rights. In America, it was forbidden to deprive a person of the fruits of his labor on the basis of his ascriptive status, which means personal characteristics “over which the individual has little control, such as sex, race, ethnicity, religion, lineage, disability, or family reputation, rather than on accomplishment or merit.” see Simply Psychology
In the early 1970's, I was assistant area director for AJC’s Los Angeles chapter. Thus, I know AJC’s philosophy. It was solidly based on each individual’s inalienable rights as set forth in the Declaration and as protected by the US Constitution. Wokeism, in contrast, is totally, completely, and irrevocably hostile to America’s core value of individual inalienable rights. Instead under Wokeism, every person’s rights are derivative of his group’s classification as Oppressor or Oppressee. While some correctly point out that the oppressor vs. oppression formulation is similar to communists’ idea of the Capitalists vs Worker, in reality Wokeism parallels Nazism. The communism is not virulent racist. Both Nazism and Wokeism are racist at the core and both hate Jews.
Thus, it was a shock to discover that the ADL and the AJC had been promoting Wokeism, even as it was marginalizing Jewish students and systematically cleansing universities of Jewish professors. Black professors who did not toes the Woke line would likewise be reclassified as Oppressors and forced out. Did the ADL or the AJC come to the aid of any of the Jewish or Black professors? No. See DEI And Jews
Not All Jews Agreed with the ADL and the AJC.
“Yet what these efforts to “engage” with DEI also fail to comprehend is that any system of thought that categorizes people racially in this manner is profoundly antithetical to the best interests of a Jewish community. The security and success of the Jews in America is based on the very values of equal opportunity and individual rights that DEI is seeking to destroy. As destructive as this is for American society as a whole, DEI poses a direct threat to Jews.” see Jonathan Tobin
ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt is so gung ho for Wokeism that he got the Biden White House to add Jews to its Woke DIE program. Because Wokeism demands proportional representation of each group in education, business, and government, Jewish students will have to be cut by 2/3 and likewise for Jewish faculty. The quickest way to achieve this Equity with Blacks is to curtail Jewish enrollment. In addition, since all Jews by virtue of being Jews are oppressors, they merit no protection by universities. While students may not mis-pronoun another student, it is free speech to tell outrageous lies about Jews and to call for their extermination.
And who still supports Wokeism? The ADL and the AJC https://bit.ly/3U8zUNM . Despite the fact that Woke DEI is absolutely irreconcilable with the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, the ADL and AJC refuse admit reality. ADL and AJC are ”urging universities to better incorporate Jews into an oppressor-oppressed hierarchy, instead of calling on them to dismantle the ideology behind it altogether.”
No, No, No, a thousand times No, we Jews do not want to become part of the racist Woke group rights program. However, the ADL, the AJC and powerful Woke leaders in Congress are actively working for Israel’s destruction. Even as Woker founder Nancy Pelosi calls for the retraction of aid already appropriated for Israel, the ADL and the AJC still support those the Wokers arguing for Israel’s destruction. Like Adam Schiff (D-CA), some Jewish Wokers may denounce anti-Semitism, but they will support Wokeism which fuels attacks on American Jews and calls for the destruction of Israel. See Pelosi – Halt Aid to Israel
The basis of Pelosi’s demand that Biden stop sending aid which Congress has already provided is that Israel will not surrender to Hamas. Pelosi’s wokers (demand) Biden must deprive Israel, our closest ally, with military support after seven aid workers were killed by the IDF.
Here’s her trade-off: the negligent death of the aid workers merits destruction of Israel. Let’s be clear: Hamas is basically Pelosi’s real client in this situation. Pelosi’s Identity Politics and her power as Speaker made Wokeism into a powerhouse inside government. Now, Wokeism has to deliver: Pelosi’s Wokers promised Hamas that if it attacked Israel, they would protect Hamas.
Neither the ADL nor the AJC are independent entities devoted to combating discrimination. They have become adjuncts of the Dem Woke establishment and just as Black non-Wokers are expendable, Non-Woke Jews are expendable.
