The Omar Affair is a turning point |
2019-03-09 |
[American Thinker] The world's oldest hate finally, officially has found purchase in America with the support of the world's oldest political party, the Democratic Party of the United States. Yesterday's shameful House resolution was not so much a turning point for American Jewry as a view of the turning point in the rear view mirror. Faced with clear examples of Ilhan Omar's Jew-hatred ("anti-Semitism" is a wishy-washy 19th-century British euphemism that implies that the same people equally hate Jews and Palestinians because they are both Semitic; claiming "dual loyalties" is not about legitimate criticism of Israel's policies), House Democrats chose to condemn not her, but "white supremacists" and "Islamophobia." Fully cognizant of the successful jiu-jitsu making the victim the aggressor, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez immediately started fundraising using AIPAC (The America Israel Public Affairs Committee) as a bogeyman: Useful idiot Rep. Jan Schakowsky, nominally Jewish, actually defended Omar's Jew-hatred as understandable because she "comes from a different culture." The notion that importing Jew-haters is a bad idea never occurs to her, nor does the idea that immigrants should assimilate and reject such hatred when they come here. |

#5 American Jews, American Catholics, American Blacks, American Hispanics... Lots of grouos vote against what conservatives think of as their best interests. And liberals are equally confused when white union workers vote for Reoublicans. There are a lot of reasons why groups of people vote the way that they do. Sayng “But they ought...” is the quickest way to not pursuade them to change their minds. American Muslims mostly voted Republican (except Black Muslims) for economic reasons until the new Muslim Democrats took the stage. But, pace the Pussy Hat movement, American Jews may soon realize they’ve been blatantly pushed out of their own party. That tipping point is coming. |

#4 American Jews seem to have this pathological compulsion to vote for Democrats, even when it isn't in their best interest. Strange. |

#3 The Democrats received 70% of the Jewish vote in 2018. |

#2 History tells us quite vividly that there's not much room for a Jew in an Islamic environment. I'm not sure what other conclusions or theories can be drawn. |

#1 Until the RINOs and Republicans actually report, call her a racist. Hell even Foux Fox refuses to name her as racist. Useless word of the day. Foux, French: Obsolete form of fous. |
