Charlottesville: A Counterfactual for Jews

According to Messrs. Bing and Google, there are no statues of Theodor Herzl in the U.S. Still, it’s not inconceivable that there exists one somewhere, or, on some university campus, at least a bust of the founder of political Zionism. He was a popular figure in ‘50s, when Americans across the political spectrum celebrated the founding of Israel.

Now let’s say the town or university, under pressure from CAIR, BDS, BLM, Students for Justice in Palestine, the Muslim Student Association, and other teachers’ pets and their engagé sponsors, decides to remove the statue or bust. This dead white male was a colonialist, an imperialist, and a racist, and should not be honored by a tolerant, multicultural community. His presence is creating a hostile environment.

So a group of Jewish and other students organize a rally in front of the bust to protest its removal. Leftist thugs vow that they will not let the rally take place. Racism is not protected speech.

Again, this is not inconceivable. In California alone, and just during the past year, mobs have forced the cancelation of talks by Charles Murray, Heather MacDonald, Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, and Milo Yiannopoulos, and on campuses across the country events sponsored by Jewish organizations have been disrupted and Jewish students intimidated.

So, just who are the actual fascists again?

Many times Jews champion movements that later on destroy them.

Jews are Hope and Change.

REAL Jews are Conservatives and Torah/G-d fearing people.

Fake Jews practice “Joan Baez Judaism” and support the ACLU no matter what.

Fake Jews support “Justice for Killing Jews”, oops, I mean Justice for Palestine.

Are there any Haym Salomon monuments in Washington DC...?

I don’t believe so. I know there is the one in Chicago though.

A lot of Jews, because they live in the big cities, get sucked into the leftist vortex. No different than the Episcopalians and others who have become the new useful idiots supporting their own demise.

Yeah, my church deserted me. Use to be episc but non denom anymore and they’re seemingly falling in line too. When we were arranging my mom’s funeral, when consulting with the folks at the catholic church, I was kinda taken aback at the SJW and climate protector demeanor of some of the folks there.

I see no reason to remove any historical monuments and memorials we have. I like, revere and respect all our history. So when the loony left including antifa and BLM is trying to destroy our history I am against this. I cannot help it if a small number of nazis feel the same way.

and btw — anti-racism means hate whitey and destroy his history and monuments. And yes there are plenty of brain damaged young white people galivanting around who call themselves anti-racists.
