JEW HATING JEWS

Professor Jennifer Lowenstein, the Associate Director of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Wisconsin, accuses Israel of unleashing "state terror" against Gaza and claims the Israeli conflict with Hamas is really part of a larger plot by evil Jews to dominate the world's wealth. Here is what she said:

"The state terror unleashed from the skies and on the ground against the Gaza Strip as we speak has nothing to do with Hamas. It has nothing to do with ‘Terror.’ It has nothing to do with the long-term ‘security’ of the Jewish State. Strip away the clichés and the vacuous newspeak blaring out across the servile media and its pathetic corps of voluntary state servants in the Western world and what you will find is the naked desire for hegemony; for power over the weak and dominion over the world’s wealth. Worse yet you will find that the selfishness, the hatred and indifference, the racism and bigotry, the egotism and hedonism … the callousness with which we indulge in them all are endemic to our very culture; thriving here like flies on a corpse."

Sounds like pure Marxist drivel. Lowenstein is typical of the left-wing academics who have infested our institutions of higher education. She not only expresses a hatred of Israel, but one of Jews as well. What she said does not disturb me nearly as much as the fact that Lowenstein is herself a Jew, albeit a self-hating one.

Of course, Lowenstein is not the only Jew hating Jew. In San Francisco, there were a number of politically correct Jews among the supporters of Palestinian demonstrators who carried Arabic signs like this: "Itbach al Yahud" (slaughter the Jews), "Falastin balad'na w'al Yahud qalab'na" (Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs), "ba ruh, ba dam, nafdeek ya Falastin" (with our soul, with our blood, we will cleanse you oh Palestine), "al mawt al Yahud" (death to the Jews).

I suspect that the Jews who supported the Palestinians in San Francisco were college students, or former students, who have been influenced by their left-wing professors. The academic left has long supported the Palestininas and condemned Israel as a terrorist state. One of the self-proclaimed Marxist professors at the college where I used to teach, has not only supported the Palestinians in the past, but he and his wife helped to organize pro-Palestinian demonstrations in front of the Israeli consulate in Houston.

The problem with American Jews who support Jew haters is that they have always lived the good life afforded them by this country. They have never been excposed to the type of hatred that Jews experienced during the Nazi era. They have never experienced the hatred of Jews in Muslim countries. They do not seem to realize that Jews are not wanted in much of the world and that Israel is the only safe haven for those who are persecuted because of their Jewish faith. And they ignore the fact that the "final solution" for the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world is the extermination of the Jewish state.
