Today’s America is a scary place for Jews. College campuses fester with hostility toward
anything Jewish-related. Jewish students and faculty are often intimidated, denigrated, harassed,
and assaulted by antisemites. Pro-Hamas students and faculty host rallies and take over
buildings. Jewish elected officials have targets on their backs, and a growing number of their
colleagues in the US House and Senate are camouflaging antisemitic behavior by
misrepresenting it as “anti-Zionism,” a progressive code word used to put lipstick on the face of
contemporary antisemitism.
Jews are not defenseless or powerless. But Jewish organizations that supposedly exist to
advocate for our community’s interests and combat antisemitism are more concerned with
keeping their power and protecting their Democrat handlers
While there is no doubt that old-fashioned right-wing antisemitism exists – perpetrated by the
likes of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens – the far greater
problem emanates from leftists, progressives, and Democrats.
Organizations combat antisemitism selectively
Organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, and Jewish
Council for Public Affairs should be exposing and combating antisemitism. Yet when the anti-
Jewish bigotry comes from the political Left, they tend to be silent or use benign language
calculated to avoid upsetting their progressive puppet masters.
Here is your reality check: You’ve already been disinvited to the progressive meetings, your seat
given to Hamas sympathizers. The intersectionality of “marginalized” and “oppressed” groups
has embraced “woke” ideals and the divisiveness of modern “progressive” thinking. The
American Left regards Jews as white oppressors – colonizers who enjoy “white privilege.”
Fearful that American Jews will finally wake up and realize that the Democrats and the
progressives that control the party have sold them out, these organizations obstruct genuine
attempts to combat antisemitism because they come from the GOP. They have jumped on the
progressive bandwagon, claiming that the administration is “weaponizing antisemitism.”
Of course, tolerating bigotry in the name of the US Constitution only applies if the targets are
Jewish.
The double standard with Jews: Antisemitism is acceptable to “protect
democracy”
What we all know is that if the students being threatened, harassed, an denied entrance to their
classes were African American, gay, transgender, Muslim, or any other historically or newly
created disenfranchised group other than Jews, then these organizations, progressive groups and
Democrat politicians would not be hiding behind free speech for haters. These leftists would be
demanding that the administration and college administrators prioritize the safety of the targeted
students.
Yet when it comes to Jews, a different standard is applied. Jews can be sacrificed to “protect
democracy” and uphold free speech.
“It is constitutional for governments to promote public policy goals by placing conditions on
how the taxpayers’ funds are spent. In fact, this is one of the most important ways that
governments go about advancing the public’s key interests,” explained Florida-based attorney
Joseph Sabag. “As a result, anti-discrimination efforts that impose conditions on government
subsidies and contracts have routinely withstood constitutional challenges, including First
Amendment lines of attack.”
It is also constitutional to deport any holder of a green card or temporary visa if it is determined
that they lied on their immigration application. Further, the secretary of state has the authority to
revoke any temporary visa status if the individual is regarded as a threat to national security.
The Trump administration’s attempt, through legal means, to rid our campuses of foreign
students and paid agitators who incite violence against our country, its allies and our Jewish
students is beyond justified. Deporting Hamas supporters is the right thing to do. The
government also has a responsibility to taxpayers to make sure their money is not handed out to
institutions that discriminate against any population of the student body.
Jewish groups need to walk back their recent condemnations of the administration and embrace
government efforts to protect our children. They also need to accept the fact that despite their
best effort to excuse and rationalize anti-Jewish sentiment from the Left, they are no longer
welcome in progressive circles and should be shouting “Thank you” to the administration and
GOP.
More than ever, establishment Jewish organizations need to prioritize “Never Again” instead of
playing partisan politics at the expense of our children.
