Trump's Response to Antisemitism and Terrorism

Useful idiots: Jewish Voices for Peace (CNN)

When Jews protest the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Hamas agitator, it raises the question of whether calling for the genocide of Jews is considered antisemitic behavior - or instead, merely an exercise in free speech. That is, in fact, what those three presidents of top universities were trying to argue. Only now, they have Jews backing them up.

This is what the world of the left has wrought upon the Jewish people - a left that has taken over academia. Powerful anti-Jewish academic voices (under the guise of being anti-Zionist, not anti-Jewish) now hold far more influence over students and administrators than the majority of their colleagues, who have been silenced for fear of being accused of stifling free speech. And now, Jewish Voices for Peace - a group of misguided young Jews - are saying the same thing.

What makes this so insidious is that the left can claim there is no antisemitism on their side of the political aisle since so many Jews are joining them. This is why, whenever the subject comes up, they point to extremists on the right as the real danger. "How," they will rhetorically ask, "can anti-Israel protests be antisemitic if Jews are doing the protesting?"

Adding to this faulty premise is the absurd suggestion that what these Jewish anti-Israel activists are doing is actually the most Jewish thing they can do in the sense that they are standing up for the most Jewish of all values - Tikkun Olam. Which in this case means justice for Palestine.

And when the Trump administration tries to do something about it, they are the ones called out for being anti-democratic. This is how they characterize the arrest of protesters who are simply exercising their free speech rights on behalf of a student who was arrested for doing the same.

The problem with Jewish Voices for Peace is that they have no idea what being Jewish is all about. Their complete ignorance is due to the lack of any serious Jewish education, which was instead replaced by indoctrination from equally ignorant Jews in academia or from heterodox rabbis who have perverted the profane to call it holy. 

These are people who consider males engaging in homosexual sex a mitzvah if it makes them happy. People who consider Chilul Shabbos (Sabbath desecration) to be perfectly fine. People who eat ham sandwiches and pork chops regularly. People whose lives do not differ from their non-Jewish neighbors in the slightest. In short, there is nothing Jewish about them other than the fact that their males were circumcised - if that.

Jewish Voices for Peace were protesting the deportation of a man who supports Hamas, an organization that not only believes in the genocide of the Jewish people - if that’s what it takes to get back ‘their’ land from the river to the sea - but has actively tried to accomplish it from the moment they were created. Hamas considered it perfectly legitimate to achieve this goal by executing the worst atrocity to happen to the Jewish people since the Holocaust. With the promise to keep doing it until they achieve their aims. 

They continue to hold innocent hostages taken at the time keeping them under draconian conditions (aided and abetted by Palestinian civilians) using them as bargaining chips. They murdered many hostages over the course of the 16 months since the attack. The latest being two babies, choking them to death with their bare hands, as well as murdering their mother.

Mahmoud Khalil is a green card holder who supports this vilest of Palestinian groups. Jewish Voices for Peace feel he should be left alone to spew his hatred. Khalil is soft-spoken and seemed quite harmless during his arrest, adding fuel to the protesters' cry that this is nothing more than government suppression of free speech.

By identifying as Jews, Jewish Voices for Peace are implying that they speak in the name of Judaism. They want to send the message that Judaism is all about allowing people to say whatever they want about Jews - even if that includes leaving genocide open as an option to achieve their goals. Identifying themselves as Jews is nothing short of misleading the world about what Judaism actually stands for.

That is why ignorance of one’s own Judaism can be as great a danger to the welfare of our people as actual antisemitism. It places a Jewish imprimatur on the vilest of hate speech in the name of free speech - speech that can and has motivated violent attacks against us.

Frankly, I am happy to see that Khalil was arrested, and that another pro Hamas Palestinian who violated her student visa was arrested too. Hopefully they will soon be outa here! I am equally pleased that some of these Jewish protesters were arrested. And overall - I am incredibly pleased with how the Trump administration is handling antisemitism.

And while I’m at it, I could not be happier that the president decided to attack the Houthi rebels in Yemen, telling them that ‘They ain’t seen nothing yet!’ if they retaliate. They have already promised that they will. I can’t wait to see what happens next. The president also warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis and to stop spreading terror, or they won’t like what happens to them next. It wouldn’t surprise me if that means a joint plan with Israel to attack and entirely destroy Iran’s nuclear program.

I’m glad we have a president with the courage to do the right thing. It’s about time. Now, if only his domestic policies on the economy made any sense. That would be the cherry on top. They don’t except to the overpaid union members who are the reasons their jobs were exported to foreign nations in the first place. Like Canada where it’s cheaper to make the goods once made here and are now imported from there.

Sadly, tariffs will raise the price of foreign goods. Making them more expensive than overpaying union workers to make them here. Either way prices will go up. And probably never come down. And the consumer will pay the bill.

Oh well. Can’t have everything.
