Another example of toxic anti-Semitism sweeping the world.
Reprinted From Israel National News.
Anti-Semitism has toxically penetrated and infiltrated the world’s every nook and cranny. Blood Libel propaganda is now far more dangerous than it was in Hitler’s time. Today’s barrage of genocidally intentioned propaganda against the Jews is intense, brazen, and increasingly being normalized on university campuses, in national and international government bodies, in the media, and in demonstrations—and in every language on earth 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- courtesy of the internet and the airwaves.
Nearly twenty years ago, I wrote that that Anti-Zionism was, in part, now the “new” and acceptable anti-Semitism; it’s also what I believed almost fifty years ago, when I first began collecting signatures to oppose the Zionism=Racism resolution at the United Nations. As Daniel Pearl’s father, Judea, has said: “Zionism does not =Racism—Anti-Zionism=Racism.”
The very Homeland to which Jews returned in flight from persecution in Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and European countries has, in the 21st century, rather diabolically become the excuse for again persecuting Jews both around the world and in Israel.
Jews have been beaten up, kidnapped, tortured, terrorized, and murdered in Europe; Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized; Nazi graffiti has increasingly appeared on synagogue walls even in the United States, where newly elected officials have engaged in brazen hate speech against the Jews and against Israel.
Every single day, I read biased articles against Israel and against Jews in the newspaper most revered by its Jewish readers: The New York Times. Today, a two page article with ten photos appears condemning what the Israeli government allegedly did seventy years ago. According to the article, the government “disappeared” “thousands” of Mizrahi or Arab Jewish newborns from their mothers and gave them to infertile European Holocaust survivors to raise; the article wonders whether the government wanted these children to become more Western, less Eastern. The article admits that three separate government commissions concluded that “about fifty children were unaccounted for” and that the others died.
If the Israeli government did this, even to one child, it was wrong, a crime, a sin, but unfortunately not an uncommon one. Americans did likewise with Native-Indian and poor immigrant children; Australians and Canadians with indigenous children; Argentina did this with the children of the political prisoners whom they “disappeared.” I could go on.
The Paper of Record does not expose these other countries day after day, focusing on any mistake, crime, or sin one of them has committed, either yesterday or a century ago. It does increasingly condemn American sins even as it fails to condemn even greater sins committed in “the developing world.” (This is the politically correct way to describe the Muslim and Communist world.)
It does so only where Israel is concerned. I used to think it was so bad that it could not possibly get any worse but I was wrong; it has indeed gotten a lot worse with its editorials, op-eds, and ostensible news coverage which critiques Israel and which occasionally throws us a bone, usually a piece by Matti Friedman or Yossi Klein Halevi.
This past week, the New York Times published an article titled: "Concerns Raised Over Power Wielded by a Pro-Israel Lobbying Giant.” Bad enough the reporter does not know that AIPAC raises and spends a minuscule portion of what all other foreign and most other national lobbies spend; worse, are the two photos that accompany the article.
One photo depicts the new Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, wearing hijab, which she does every minute she is on the job and on the street. Right beneath her is a photo of AIPAC activist, Stephen Fiske, shown putting on t’fillin, (phylacteries) something that I doubt he does on the job, on the street, or all day long. In fact, I know he does not; no religious Jew does, except for some who continue studying Torah in the synagogue after prayers.. This is a time-bound, once a day prayer-related obligation and it is done either privately or in a synagogue. Not in Congress and not while lobbying Congress.
What the captions suggest is that each religion has a way of signifying membership. And this is a false equivalency. The caption also misspells the word “anti-Semitic.” It appears as “anti-Semetic.”
Then, there is this. Almost daily, my phone rings or I receive an email from someone in distress. This week alone, a professor called me in despair over the anti-white, anti-American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Israel narratives that her students deploy in papers which he must grade. Challenging them will inevitably lead to the professor being demonized and perhaps fired. He asked me: “Do you think I’m paranoid, crazy, overly sensitive?”
I told him “Of course not. What makes you feel “crazy” is not being able to say what you believe lest you lost your standing and employment.”
ANOTHER professor shared with me the ugly details about a kippah-wearing administrator who teaches one course as an adjunct. A campaign has been launched against him on dubious grounds by a feminist whose specialty is deconstructing female cartoon figures. I’ve been told that two excellent candidates for positions at this campus were not hired; they, too, wear kippot.
Dare I suggest that if the candidates had been women who wore hijab they’d be the preferred candidates?
Please understand: I support American Muslim women who are REALLY feminists —which usually means they support Muslim feminists, Muslim dissidents, Muslim homosexuals, and apostates—as well as Jews and Israel. Here, Qanta Ahmed, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Asra Nomani, all come to mind.
I am still waiting for Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to issue a statement condemning FGM in the United States as well as polygamy, forced veiling, and child marriage

Well let's not get carried away. A little hard to be worse than "kill them all" coming right from the government.
I got sobering news for Jewish folks.
Minorities that I work with speak very disparagingly of Jewish folks. When I hear it, I tell them I have quite a few Jewish friends so cut it out.
Not ONE is an R. Not ONE is white.
Too many Jewish folks empathize with other minorities abut they’ve no reason.
I understand their hearts are in the right place as they feel like these people are oppressed like they once were.
But they worked hard and got away from that after one generation.
They need to stop affording such pity for other groups who don’t change generation after generation after generation.
Never underestimate the NYT when it comes to going low to lower.
Today, the old-fashioned east coast “traditional” socialist-1890/1910 Jewish immigrant IS the target of today’s Muslim-socialist-Mexican-Black anti-Western-anti-capitalist democrat party.
The classic image of the openly socialist newspaper building in Manhattan near that lower east side park is only history. An icon of the slums and ghetto they remember “fondly” as their base of life. Washington-Milwaukee-Chicago-Baltimore-NM-LA-SFO? THAT is the enemy of traditional liberal socialist Jews, of secular Jews. Of American culture.
Agreed.
Somebody needs to get the message out that it’s OK to have pulled yourself out of the slums and you don’t owe ANYTHING to groups that are too much of a disaster to do the same thing.
Asians need to know this too as for some ABSURD reason, they vote majority dem.
ML/NJ
I'm a little amused by lumping the "Mexican" and "Blacks" together.
I'll let you in on a little secret.... the most racist people against blacks are older Mexican women.... and right behind them are Mexican gangs. The only one not in on this fact are the Blacks in the democrat plantation that are ignorant of the fact that they are being herded back to the south.
I'd ask the blacks in Cali, DC, Chicago, Detroit, NYC or anywhere if they realized why most of the abortion clinics are in their neighborhood. Or if any of them realize that most of the southern California cities along the coast are becoming a little "browner" because of the ethnic cleansing the Mexican Mafia and it's associate gangs are doing........ oooops, that doesn't fit the narrative, huh? Don't see that on the news or the FBI "exposing" that in a big way.
Check out the demographics on Compton, Boyle Heights, Oakland etc.....
Like I've said in the past.., "if you are at a poker game and you don't know who the chump is......it's you".
N y t is an enemy propaganda outlet promoting a Nazi rypepack of lies — has been for years. Good only for crossword puzzles and lining you cat’s litter box
ALL that money we pi$$ed away buying oil from the middle east is now coming back to bite us. (You know where.)
It’s the new form of anti-Americanism in the disguise of some pro-palistinian, anti-Zionist Marxist cant. Right now, the battle is the pinkos, muslims, and mehhicchan drug gangs versus the Whites and the Blacks.
The battlefields are the colleges, universities, TV news, local dishwrap papers—and OF COURSE The NYTimes and MSM.
Obvious to me, if not to most........yet.
Lock and load, boys and girls. It’s here.
It’s so difficult to accept the fact that there are people who hate America or work to destroy America ( and attack Christian and Jewish morals, people) —- often these are quite wealthy or “provileged” people too. Really pathetic souls mostly. Must be defeated as they’re dangerous
HEY!
I'll deconstruct YOU!!!
Granted, granted.
But, from Pelosi-Schumer-”the dnc-ABCNNBCBS-national press corpse” Washington level, they DO “take for granted the black vote and the black power politicians of the 60-70-80 (Jackson-Sharpton-Waters-Carmichael (in his prime)-etc-etc ..
They are now taking for granted” the Mexican (brown-Latino-illegal alien vote: That IS all of the CA politicians, NM, AZ, NV (increasingly), and many districts in TX and FL.
Yes, inner city-urban is no longer “the reliable black voting block”, but it appears the Latino-Black infighting for power is ignoring the “new” Muslim radical power block that Oboma imported with such success. (AOC is strictly women-youth-Latino, she is not looking at the black voters anywhere inher search for attention among the college-Bernie socialist-college tuition young liberal voters.
Don’t worry, Dr. Chesler. I never doubted the NYT for a minute.
