It’s official – the left doesn’t care about Jews

God assist the journalists who watched the footage of Hamas’s genocidal rampage via southern Israel this week. I ponder if they are going to ever sleep once more. Footage from Hamas’s personal bodycams confirmed kids being tortured, bedrooms became bloodbaths, folks mutilated and terrorists rejoicing of their murderous assaults. One known as his father to brag of ‘killing 10 Jews’. Such wicked acts go away you breathless. Particularly in case you’re Jewish.

It has been over two weeks since Hamas carried out its pogrom, killing 1,400 Israelis. This was the worst bloodbath of Jewish folks because the Holocaust. So the place is the outpouring of shock within the West, condemning this anti-Semitic atrocity?

As an alternative, 100,000 folks marched within the streets of London final weekend, with many protesters chanting ‘From the river to the ocean’ and calling for the annihilation of the State of Israel. It’s particularly jarring to see these scenes in the identical nation that has given refuge to so many Jews fleeing anti-Semitism in Europe, together with my circle of relatives simply three generations in the past. Sadly, Britain should face a actuality that the British Jewish neighborhood has recognized for some time now – particularly, that anti-Semitism is flourishing in Britain.

But, nonetheless chilling it’s to see protesters waving islamist flags and chanting ‘jihad’ on Britain’s streets, these extremists are a minimum of trustworthy about their Jew hatred. That isn’t the case for the so-called progressive left. These helpful idiots have determined to throw their lot in with genocidal maniacs, and but in some way they imagine themselves to be on the ‘proper aspect of historical past’.

These are the identical identitarian obsessives who lecture us on being form and inclusive, whine about microaggressions and command us all to ‘examine our privilege’. These champions of variety, fairness and inclusion declare to supply solidarity to all ethnic minorities – besides one. How is it that they can’t see racial hatred when it’s staring them within the face – even when it’s filmed dwell by terrorists?

Earlier this month, a bunch known as Artists for Palestine UK demonstrated a surprising lack of ethical readability by penning a declaration that accused Israel of committing battle crimes in Gaza and known as for a ceasefire. Over 2,000 folks from throughout the humanities signed the letter, together with Tilda Swinton, Steve Coogan and Miriam Margolyes.

Funnily sufficient, the declaration made no point out of Hamas’s slaughter of Jews, which triggered the present battle. This tone-deaf letter prompted Dame Maureen Lipman to aptly label Artists for Palestine ‘bleeding heartless liberals’. ‘Disgrace on each certainly one of you’, she fairly rightly reprimanded.

Actor Steve Coogan later tried to backtrack following the backlash. ‘It goes with out saying that what Hamas did is evil past creativeness,’ he mentioned. ‘It was horrific and brutal.’

Eco-activist Greta Thunberg responded equally when she was known as out for displaying solidarity with Gaza in a social-media put up, whereas failing to say the Israeli victims. She posted on X: ‘It goes with out saying – or so I believed – that I’m in opposition to the horrific assaults by Hamas.’

Humorous how it is just when there are Jewish victims that these individuals are rendered speechless. Ideally, us Jews ought to simply think about the phrases. It will save everybody lots of hassle.

In fact, as a substitute of solidarity, Israel will get a scolding. The Jewish State is accused of finishing up ‘collective punishment’ in opposition to Palestinians, whereas the BBC patronises Israeli interviewees by quoting the Geneva Conference at them. The identical individuals who give limitless lectures on ‘victim-blaming’ even had the audacity responsible Israel for the assaults in opposition to its personal folks – mere days after the Hamas assaults befell, earlier than a full physique depend had even been made, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee, and 33 different pupil societies, launched a declaration holding Israel accountable for the entire violence. They accuse Israel of being ‘colonisers’ – thought-about one of the vital egregious sins of our time – even if the Jewish individuals are one of many indigenous peoples of Israel.

Israel didn’t begin this battle. And it’s so simple for actors, celebrities and the middle-class holders of luxurious beliefs to guage this battle from the consolation of their sofas. They’re not those operating out and in of bomb shelters each evening, fearing for the lives of their kids, questioning whether or not greater than 200 hundred of their folks will ever return residence from captivity.

These previous few weeks have revealed that the woke elites possess no actual ethical authority. For all their speak about overcoming ‘unconscious bias’, their adamance that ‘phrases are violence’, and their lectures on privilege, they continue to be unable to unequivocally condemn the torture, mass rape and homicide of harmless civilians.
