Liberal Antisemitism: Occupy Wall Street

For weeks now my liberal Jewish friends have been praising the filthy spoiled-brat group temper tantrum known as OWS -- and even participating in it during Yom Kippur and Sukkot (!). Meanwhile, the DBF* media has predictably failed to accurately report on the now-nationwide event. Among the most disturbing aspects of OWS -- and there are many, from calls to behead and eat "the rich" to converging on private citizens' personal residences to bullying NYC officials into postponing Zuccotti Park cleanup or face riotous consequences -- is the blatant widespread antisemitism.

In a piece earlier this week in Commentary called "Occupy Wall Street Has an Anti-Semitism Problem," Abe Greenwald writes:

Anti-Semitism is the preferred medium of the pitchfork crowd. And today as the Manhattan mob heads uptown to protest at the homes of American business leaders (for their “”willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99 percent”) there can be little doubt that that’s whom we’re dealing with.

Outside of immigrant-rich America, class warfare is often synonymous with ethnic prejudice itself. The Jews or the Gypsies or the Southeast Asians simply constitute the class to be held accountable. Class warfare is the pointed finger as economic philosophy. It eats away at the national project, lays waste to the self-reliant citizen, and disguises prejudice as justice. Liberal pundits and leftist intellectuals are at pains to impose upon the protesters a thoughtfulness that just doesn’t exist. In the New York Times, Todd Gitlin wrote, “This new protest style is more Rousseau than Marx.” But in truth there is no new protest style. What we’re witnessing is dumb, ugly, dangerous, and very old. And we will see a lot more anti-Semitism as this toxic swarm grows.

Indeed, antisemitism exists not just in the trenches but at the top of OWS. It seems OWS is the brainchild of an antisemitic anti-capitalist organization from Canada called Adbusters, which registered an occupywallstreet.org domain name only months in advance of the protests. Jeff at the Protein Wisdom blog reports:

Adbusters has a history of (thinly-veiled) anti-Semitism — and today’s protests against “Wall Street” and “bankers” is merely an extension of its earlier protests against the controlling cabal of “neocons.”

Adbusters sees filthy, sneaky Jews everywhere — and everywhere this stealthy cabal of neocons, bankers, and Zionists, is controlling the world, robbing The People, and hoarding The Wealth.

This fact has been pointed out in the right-osphere, including by El Rushbo at least twice. But the Adbusters-OWS connection is virtually nowhere in the DBF media. Isn't that interesting?

Among the first to report on OWS antisemitism was Glenn Beck (ironic, since I know of no Jewish liberal friends who are not scared to death of this guy! Go figure.)

Here's a Blaze piece from last Thursday (the 6th) with video of an OWS protester complaining how the Jews control Wall Street and even accusing Obama of being a Jewish puppet:

On Wednesday afternoon, The Blaze posted a video of a man telling the crowd that “the Jews control Wall St.” and spouting anti-Semitic hate.

So a GBTV cameraman and I decided to go down to the center of the protests later that day to see if we could find the man behind the comments and ask him a few questions. We found him. And he was more than happy to explain himself.

Who is he? Well, the only name he would give me is “Jesus.” He told me he’s homeless and going blind. And when I asked him about his former anti-Semitic remarks, he was sure to go in-depth on his views, as well as hold up his sign with Atlas-like determination.

He’s convinced that Jews have a “firm grip” on the media and the country’s finances. He even tried to selectively quote scripture to back up his case. That said, he claims he’s not against all Jews, just the ones who are “robbing” America or aren’t speaking out about their “bretheren” who are. Considering his comments, I asked if he would be in favor of a tax on just rich Jews. His response? “That sounds good, but all billionaires.” ...

If you think his answers are a bunch of confusion wrapped in a conundrum, you’re not alone. And it’s about to get even more perplexing. See, after hearing his obvious anti-Jewish remarks, I asked him why he decided to single out the Jews. He responded by saying he “loves” Jews but he’s “tired of them swindling us:” ...

At this post from yesterday, the Blaze posts this follow-up, this time from Occupy Los Angeles:

The Blaze was one of the first to report on the anti-Semitism plaguing Occupy Wall Street. While not shocking given the movement’s track record, photographs from Occupy Los Angeles have now surfaced also revealing definite anti-Semitic messages. The age-old “Jewish banker” conspiracy theory being the most common thread across the various “Occupy” movements.

Pajama’s Zombie was first to publish the latest crop of offensive images straight out of OWS/OLA:

All Los Angeles photos and video here were taken by Ringo, and will appear in future reports at Ringo’s Pictures. This is the first time any of them have been shown online.

"Bookworm" at Bookworm Room has a well-written post and accompanying video on the matter:

Antisemitism in connection with OWS was a no-brainer.  The Left is antisemitic.  It has been since Marx.  Hitler institutionalized it to deadly effect.  Stalin was less methodical than Hitler, but he made Judaism illegal and instituted various pogroms within his own party to drive out, imprison or kill Jews.

No matter how many Jews are on the Left (and Jews are, unforgivably, still drawn there), the Left understands that Judaism in the abstract stands for individualism and justice, two notions antithetical to collectivism.  The Left has also historically conflated Jews with capitalism.  Jews, of course, aren’t the onlycapitalists (statistically, they’re only a small percentage of capitalists); they’re just visible capitalists if you’re a Jew hater.

In the coming days and weeks, you’re going to see an increasing number of articles and videos in the conservative media about the increasing antisemitism connected with the Occupy this city and that city.  Today, we’ll start with just two:  a photo essay from L.A. and a video, which you can see below:

My questions for you:  How long do you think it will be before the MSM pays attention?  Or, an even better question, do you think the MSM will ever pay attention?  Same question[s] regarding leading Democrat politicians, such as Obama, Pelosi and Reid….

You might be wondering how, in light of all this evidence, my liberal Jewish friends and relatives are reacting. After linking to some of these stories over the week on Facebook, the responses have fallen into basically two camps: First and foremost is pooh-poohing: "Sure, there are a couple of kooks at protests, just like the Tea Party. So what's the big deal? You can't paint an entire movement with such a broad brush!"

To which I adamantly reply: WRONG! For one thing, these aren't a couple of kooks, these antisemites are rampant and are among the leadership of OWS. As I explained above, antisemitism exists at the top of the OWS. As far as the "couple of kooks" at Tea Party goes -- and that was when the kooks weren't simply left-wing infiltrators sent in by DailyKos or MoveOn.org to deliberately make the Tea Party look bad -- the Democrat-media went out of its way to paint the Tea Party with their broad brush! In fact, today as prominent liberals in Washington, the media, and Hollywood praise OWS they still bash the Tea Party! The hypocrisy is enough to make one's head spin!

A second type of response I got from liberal Jewish Facebook friends was one of disgust ... towards me! Some apparently are offended that I would be so callous as to smear this innocent noble group of victims by posting such slanderous material! 

To conclude, let me say that if you are a Jew and you are even attending let along holding freaking Yom Kippur worship at OWS, you are what Vladimir Lenin would have called a useful idiot. And believe me, that is being kind. I could've said it's like you're digging the graves that you will be falling into once your Nazi captors shoot you in the back. (But I won't say that 'cuz that would be mean-spirited!)

Scratch a liberal goyim, you'll find an antisemite.

Leftist Yids hate their fellow Jew, also.
