The Rise of the UnJews

From City Journal:

Today’s unJews generally follow the Soviet line, defined by the theory of settler colonialism and charges of genocide. Like their Soviet predecessors, these anti-Israel firebrands employ graphic depictions of Jews that parallel those of the Nazis and the historic European far right. Steve Windmueller, an emeritus professor of Jewish Communal Studies at Hebrew Union College, told me that many of today’s unJews are “red diaper babies,” referring to people brought up by radical leftists. But Windmueller also detects an old Jewish tradition of “self-hate” as well as a desire for acceptance and “to be like everyone else.”

I’d say that the main reason is that Diaspora Jews are afford. If you don’t share that anti-Israel ideology advocated by leftists and islamists, you get assaulted.

In the comment section, I found this take on the issue:

US annual trade with Israel, which allegedly abuses Muslim Palestinians: approximately $55 billion.

American progressives: “Jews are literally Hitler!“

US annual trade with China, which allegedly abuses Muslim Uyghurs: approximately $650 billion. (More than 10 times as much.)

American progressives: “That’s China’s business.“

Hmm. There’s a disconnect here. I wonder what it is.

Anti-Semitism is trendy again. Watch the video above from Aish Studios.
