The Holocaust inversion which had become so commonplace in anti-Israel arguments took center stage at the D.C. Holocaust Museum at an event commemorating the Holocaust.
This from frontpagemag.com.
Abe Foxman, the former longtime head of the ADL told a crowd at an event commemorating the Holocaust:
[A]s a survivor, my antenna quivered when I see books being banned, when I see people being abducted in the streets, when I see the government trying to dictate what universities should teach and whom they should teach.
In the first 100 days after President Trump resumed office, the liberal Jewish groups that had at best offered toothless condemnations of over a year of riots by Hamas supporters, including several assaults on synagogues, one on a Holocaust museum screening an Oct 7 documentary, and the harassment of Jews on college campuses nationwide, showed they were not inept after all.
Instead, the same groups which had stood by before quickly organized themselves into a movement to aggressively rally for the Hamas supporters attacking American Jews.
The Jewish Council on Public Affairs run by Amy Spitalnick, a former employee for the anti-Israel lobby J Street, took the lead in standing up for Mahmoud Khalil and other campus terror supporters who had led campaigns to intimidate Jews on campus. And Alex Soros’ Bend the Arc, Randi Weingarten’s New York Jewish Agenda, If Not Now, the Nexus Project rally for the Hamas supporters, much of the liberal Jewish establishment soon joined them in rejecting Jews and siding with Hamas.
Jewish Leftist groups and figures also joined the fight for Hamas supporters. And Jewish Leftist officials predictably joined forces to protect campus antisemites.
In fact, every denomination movement except Orthodox Judaism had betrayed the Jews.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Sen. Jacky Rosen, Sen. Adam Schiff of California, Sen. Brian Schatz, the latter a serial anti-Israel activist, signed a letter attacking the Trump administration for holding colleges and Hamas supporters accountable, and complaining that “revoking visas” was being done “based solely on their expressed views and speech, which the administration has identified as antisemitic.”
Schumer posted on social media:
Stop disgracefully weaponizing antisemitism to attack universities.
NOTE: The highest level elected Jewish official had just mainstreamed claims by anti-Israel activists that Jews were “weaponizing antisemitism.”
Further, the liberal Jewish establishment failed to do anything to protect American Jews after Oct 7. And those failures were not due to incompetence or a lack of will, rather a willful refusal to confront its political allies.
After over a year of excuses and empty condemnations, it quickly swung into action once someone finally started doing something about antisemitism to protect its allies.
And, oddly enough, those allies, the ones attacking Jews and supporting Hamas, became their priority, not the Jews.
Bottom Line: The liberal Jewish establishment and its various institutions betrayed the Jews again. But that should come as little surprise since that same establishment offered nothing but excuses during the Holocaust, during the race riots targeting Jews from the 60s through the 90s, and to the Soviet Jewish freedom movement, and then to Islamic terrorism targeting Israel.
Instead of a forthright defense, the liberal Jewish establishment offered excuses, urged Jews to see both sides of the matter, and did everything possible to avoid offending its liberal allies.
The only difference is that more people are seeing it these days than when liberal Jewish groups were busy warning that protesting against FDR’s refusal to save Jews, protesting against the Soviet oppression of Russian Jews, and defending Jewish communities and businesses targeted by racists like Al Sharpton were a very bad idea that would hurt Jews.
The liberal Jewish establishment always betrays Jews in the end because it is Jewish in name only.
It does not exist to represent Jewish causes and concerns to liberals, but to represent liberal causes and concerns to Jews, and it tells any lie and makes any excuse to do so.
Its latest betrayal has hit too close to home. Unlike distant events in Germany or Russia, or even race riots hitting Jews in the slums, the attacks on Jews from Columbia to UCLA have hit the American Jewish establishment close to home where it lives.
And American Jews are waking up.
President Trump won nearly every major Jewish neighborhood in America. Despite the fake polls by liberal groups claiming the majority of Jews supported What’s-Her-Name and antisemitism, the lies are falling apart.
The liberal establishment
has nothing to offer American Jews.
Thank you, President Trump, for your strong condemnation of Anti-Semitism and your promise to bring back consequences to antisemitic behavior.
