They can’t even find words
I used to wonder why Jewish Federations & organizations would trip over each other to condemn Muslim deaths in Quebec and New Zealand attacks but would take days to mumble something brief about Jewish terrorism deaths in Israel.
If we were lucky, that is. Nothing is ever said about dozens of Gaza rockets showering Israelis, regularly. Ever.
I used to be perplexed about how fast Jewish Federations & Organizations would jump on a story involving a white criminal in Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue, yet say absolutely nothing about Islamic murder of Holocaust Jews and school children in France or continuous attacks on Jews in England. Not a whisper.
Likewise, they predictably said nothing about an attack on a Synagogue in Halle Germany a few months ago. Nothing about the Ari Fuld Murder. I was shocked when I read absolutely nothing from Jewish Federations & Organization (but two) on the recent Jersey City Kosher supermarket killings. Days after the killing of a Rabbi with the documented intention to shoot up a Yeshiva there, my own Canadian Jewish Federation said it doesn’t want to report “rumors” and didn’t even mention the word “Jews” when mentioning victims.
Today, when there is a horrific endemic of anti-Semitic crime in New York State by African Americans, nine incidents on Orthodox Jews on Hanukkah alone, and tonight after the machete stabbings in a Monsey Synagogue – I expect the usual suspects to say absolutely nothing, ignoring it wholesale. Unless they can make the criminal into a MAGA guy by tomorrow morning, of course.
…the wrong people – their protected and preferred minorities are perpetuating crimes against the Jews. It stunts their ideology and their beloved concocted narrative of “white supremacy”. Liberalism doesn’t allow for speaking of truth when Blacks and Muslims are involved. More to the point, these organizations will do nothing to upset their liberal donors who sit on their Boards, ensure their financial goals and secure their employment cheques.
The most we will read in extreme brevity from Federations and orgs, after their head offices carefully mint the banal and all-too-familiar script, is: “we are united”, “they won’t divide us”, “fear will not drive us “, blah, blah, blah. And…blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…
We’re living in pre-Nazi Germany and North American Jewish leadership is acting exactly as their predecessors did in Nazi Germany. An utter fail with zero plan, zero strategy and zero truth for the people they serve. And, as usual, they cling to outdated and inapplicable ideologies made popular by their media-brainwashed stakeholders-donors. Just like in Nazi Germany.
They can’t even muster up words, any words…how the hell do we expect them to protect, to lead and to combat?
