Antisemitism's Sharp Left Turn
Graboyes Substack ^ | 17 Dec 2023 | Robert Graboyes

Posted on 12/17/2023 7:50:17 AM PST by Rummyfan

To My Friends on the Left:

You’ve told me countless times over many years that antisemitism is almost exclusively a right-wing phenomenon, but events since October 7 indicate strongly that a far greater threat to the happiness, health, and safety of Jews comes from your left-wing allies. While Hamas was still live-streaming acts of rape, torture, mutilation, murder, kidnapping, and necrophilia on innocents; before Israel lifted a finger in response; throngs of your allies flooded streets, campuses, airwaves, and social media to rejoice. Still more of your friends hung their heads low to avoid offending the celebrants, who are vital components of your electoral base. A modest number of courageous souls on the left have sounded the alarm that when mobs cry out for the torment of Jews, the call is coming from inside the progressive house.

I’ve never disputed nor minimized your concern over right-wing antisemitism. But when I’ve offered that leftist antisemitism is as big a problem or bigger, your response has been a ballet of head-scratching, shoulder-shrugging, brow-furrowing, eye-rolling, arm-waving, face-reddening, and body-shaking—with wails of indignation.

After two months of depravity across the West, it’s obvious that the greater problem today lies on the left. Right-wing antisemitism today comes mostly in two forms: (1) off-putting remarks and irritating attitudes by otherwise normal people who have little or no particular power over Jewish lives, and (2) wild-eyed conspiracies and episodic violence by small numbers of marginal loners. Left-wing antisemitism, in sharp contrast, is highly organized and endemic among swarms of people endowed with considerable power over the daily lives of Jewish Americans.

We have a virus that has invaded our country that is infecting every part of the body politic - DEI. Until we eradicate it, all of the evil elements will flourish.

not only do my Jewish brothers and sisters have a history o denying left-wing antisemitism, they also deny the same problem in the Black community - depsite the Farrakhans, Jesse Jackson/Hymietown and Al Sharpton, Marc Lamont Hill etc. there has been denial for years - and even now. it’s worrying.

Most people do not realize the existence of the Marxist Muslim Nexus. They recognized years ago that neither Marxism nor Islam by singilarly could bring down the west however an alliance could. This explains BHO.

Also, the Hamas Islamic war is not against solely the Jew. The Koran mandates war on infidels and Jews.
Thusly the chants of death to the little Satan and same March calls for the death of the big Satan.

Go figure.

The left has always been infected with Jew hatred. Currently mixed up with hatred of Whites, but that's not entirely new either. What has changed lately is the obviousness of how much the ruling class is into it.

The most anti-Jewish thing ever written before Hitler was A World Without Jews by Karl Marx.

Executive summary: The survival of Jews as a distinct people is an historical anomaly caused by capitalism. Socialism will cause complete assimilation and that's a good thing.

Left wing Jews (the majority of Jewish people in America) have spent decades supporting every anti white , anti religious , anti west, anti success , political movement they could find. Now it’s bitting them on the ass

It is agonizingly clear that open anti Semiticsm is now accepted and fashionable in the West. Open anti Semites are members in good standing within EU political and NGO organizations. Here in the US they have been Democrats in good party standing for a long time and have no trouble getting tenure at universities. NGOs in the US do not even try to hide their anti Semitism. This gtotesque wave in the West will in the long run will be the greatest, erosive threat that Israel faces.

Exact same to be said for white women, who are by far the Dems largest voting block.

Why not, Bobby? One must always dispute and minimize concern over something that does not exist—particularly if you are addressing one of the major sources of antisemitism, that being leftism.

“: You’ve told me countless times over many years that antisemitism is almost exclusively a right-wing phenomenon,”

Only because they believe the lie that Hitler and the Nazis were right wing, when they were actually Socialists.

Worth remembering that Hitler was a Socialist whose criticisms of Capitalism are virtually identical to what the Left spews today. Envy and hate are at the core of their belief system.

Exactly. They don’t read/speak German and have no idea what the N A Z I acronym actual means.

“Fringe-Left Groups Express Support for Hamas’s Invasion and Brutal Attacks in Israel,” including chapters of the Democratic Socialists for America, whose ranks include members of Congress,

Hardly a "fringe" group.
