"Jewish Privilege"? Um, No Thanks

According to this week's CJN, "Jewish Privilege" isn't an issue that's "black and white."

In what follows--my letter to the editor--I respectfully beg to differ:

There are several reasons why I don't agonize over my so-called "Jewish privilege." First, it is difficult to feel "privileged" when, despite being such a small slice of the population, Jews remain the number one target of hate crimes in Canada. 

Second, I decline to participate in the "intersectionality" sweepstakes, a toxic ideology which upholds victimhood as the highest virtue and which acts as cover for some of the worst anti-Semitism around: one need look no further than Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan for an example of that. 

Finally, I have read David Nirenberg's book Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition. It's a masterful account of how Western thought has been suffused with a type of Jew-hate that has little or nothing to do with actual Jews and/or Judaism, but which uses "the Jew" as a foil that enables the thinker to define ultimate good and bad. Whatever the thinker argues is, of course, "good," while its' opposite, whatever it is, is said to be "Jewish," and is therefore bad. Tragically, millions of real, live Jews have often suffered dire consequences because of this kind of thinking.

When placed in this context, a much bigger picture emerges, and the derision of Jews for their purported "white privilege" as well as its adjunct, the "intersectionality"-driven hatred of "Zionism," can be seen for what they really are.

Update: Here's an example of the "intersectionality"-driven hatred I was talking about:

They are also unified in the belief that Israel is the enemy of the righteous. Katbi Smith had worked hard for the passage of a BDS resolution, presented to members at the 2017 convention. When it passed, by almost  90% of the vote, she was ecstatic. She told Abraham Riesman, who was writing about the DSA for The Daily Beast, “It was electric. The room was on fire. It was amazing. We had a Palestinian flag that we waved as soon as it passed. We started chanting.”

And what they chanted was: “From the river to the sea. Palestine will be free.” In case there is any doubt, this is not a peaceful wish. It is a call for the elimination of Jews between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.

This One's For You, Alice

I found a video designed to make the malicious Ms. Walker's head explode:

Frank Sinatra's Miraculous Kippa

It was supposed to sell for a couple of hundred dollars. Instead, it topped out at almost $10K.

The New York Times High Fives The Protocols of Alice's Malice

Hey, so what if wacky Alice Walker has a hard on (so to speak) for the same noxious fabrication that inspired the likes of A. Hitler? She's black, she's a chick, and she wrote The Color Purple. In the intersectionality sweepstakes, that's a big winner!



Update: The Left Lends Cover to Anti-Semitism.

Nothing Says "Ho Ho Ho!" Like an Ugly Christmas Sweater With a Message

 "Ho Ho Ho"?  More like "No No No!"

This "Winner" Is a Big-Time Loser

It's official! The Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan is "the leading purveyor of anti-Semitism in the United States."

Merrily We Roll A-Schlong

So this happened:

A Quebec theatre is fighting for its "freedom of creation" after getting fined $500 because an actor smoked a fake cigarette while having an argument with a woman in a giant penis suit.

During a Dec. 3 performance of Conversations avec mon pénis at the Premier Acte theatre in Quebec City, two health inspectors showed up and issued the fine for smoking in a public place after actor Marc-André Thibault lit up on stage.

Marc Gourdeau, the theatre's artistic director, says he will likely contest the fine, arguing that you can't violate provincial anti-toboacco rules when there's no actual tobacco involved...

Good point. But don't you violate some other rules by having a chick play the prick?

The Reduction Ad Absurdum of Intersectionality

Why, it's Jew-hate, of course.

No Jihad To See Here, Christian Strasbourgers. Y'all Best Move Along Now

Mark Steyn weighs in on the latest loopy loup incident:

Yesterday, the usual "known wolf" - that's to say, known to the highest levels of the French security apparatus - killed three and wounded a dozen more in this year's first attack on a Christmas market - in Strasbourg. The jihadist yelled ...oh, go on, take a wild guess: Joyeux Noël? Bonnes Fêtes? No, he stuck to the traditional greeting.

Hey, as Tevye the Milkman once said, nothing beats tradition. 

Update: The traditional greeting shrieked in Strasbourg is a reminder to Macron that climate change isn't his only worry.

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before (And I'm Sure You Have)

According to a Mississauga-based Arabic news website, 'twas the nefarious Joooo who sunk the unsinkable:

“The Jewish Freemasons built the giant Titanic ship and charged it with the fictional costs, only to kill three businessmen, who built it with a magnificent construction, to drag them on board, and then sink them into the ocean floor and bury the secret with them for ever. The (businessmen were against) the idea of creating the Federal Reserve! They loved to be rid of them in order to pave the way for the new world order.”

Well, duh! Every anti-Zionist/anti-Semite know that.
