A “No Fear” rally on Sunday, July 11 in Washington DC backed by 28 prominent Jewish groups will protest the growing wave of anti-Semitism in the U.S. This is a welcome development, signaling that American Jews are becoming alarmed enough to bring their concerns to the street. But this is little more than a token gesture in the face of the growing anti-Semitism displayed by the American Left. As with everything else it is doing, the Left’s anti-Semitic hatred is on full display.
It has always been brewing beneath the surface. There are a few basic reasons for this. First, the Left constantly seeks to sow division wherever possible, because the Left’s overriding goal is to see Western society collapse. All the early Communists made that distinctly clear, from the Communist Manifesto forward. Today, that sentiment is explicitly stated by the BLM/Antifa Marxists, many of those who identify themselves as “woke,” and implicitly in the actions of the current administration. The wild, out-of-control spending, rioting and rampant street crime enabled by Democrat leaders who refuse to enforce the law, the accompanying defund-the-police movement and wide-open borders policies cannot be attributed to ignorance or “politics.” It is a wholesale effort to collapse our society.
The Biden administration’s border policies are simply a wash, rinse and repeat of Europe’s open-borders response to the massive Middle East migration during the Syrian civil war. Enabled largely by the military actions of Vladimir Putin in Syria, that soft invasion of mostly young male migrants sowed almost daily chaos and terrorism throughout Europe. The Muslim/non-Muslim divide in France has gotten so bad that French courts are now unwilling to prosecute a Muslim man charged with murdering a Jewish woman simply because he was under the influence of marijuana when he committed the act—all while screaming “Allahu akbar.” I leave it to you to decide whether the court was motivated by fear of instigating more Islamic violence, a fundamental anti-Semitism within France’s leftist establishment, or both.
Through the actions of the Obama State Department and the leadership of then-Vice President Biden, Obama’s policies actually helped instigate the mass migration from Central America, starting in 2012. His administration assisted in the violent destabilization of rural areas in Guatemala that essentially forced people to flee, while Obama simultaneously announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DAPA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) programs. Both declared America’s borders open for entry, and illegal immigration skyrocketed. Given a very brief reprieve under President Trump, Biden administration policies have created an unprecedented border crisis. This was by design, not incompetence, no matter what one believes about Biden’s mental capacity or “Border Czar” Harris’s flagrant carelessness.
Second, Karl Marx and most if not all of the Jewish communists that followed him were, ironically, virulently anti-Semitic. It sounds confusing, but it really isn’t. There is no less hatred among the Left for Judaism as there is for Christianity because those two religions formed the foundation for the West’s very successful culture and economy, and were the chief source of our moral strength and stability that goes with it. Thus they must be destroyed. Among the radical Left—whether Jew or Gentile—the agenda always comes first, and contempt for the hand of God goes with it.
The Left is aided and abetted in this effort by virtually all prominent American Muslims, from CAIR’s Nihad Awad, current Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), to most practicing imams. Among Muslim leaders, there is almost no light between their beliefs and those of the extreme Left. Indeed, many, like Tlaib, Omar and former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed, dubbed the “Muslim Bernie,” are allied with or members of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest Communist group in the U.S.
Before he became CAIR’s director, Awad was a student leader of the General Union of Palestinian Students, an organization created by PLO leader Yasser Arafat in 1959. Arafat’s PLO took its orders from the Soviet KGB, according to Romanian spy chief, Ion Pacepa. GUPS supports terrorism to this day, and CAIR of course, is the terrorist group Hamas’s American advocate.
Interfaith dialogue, which claims to seek common ground between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, is really a subversive effort to blur the clear distinctions between these religions and establish Islam as the only truly acceptable one. A prominent proponent of interfaith dialogue is a Muslim imam, Dr. Yasir Qadhi, who, among other qualifications, personally mentored Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian “Underwear Bomber.”
Finally, the Left and these Muslims share an intense hatred for Israel, both because it is the Jewish state, and more importantly, it is America’s best friend in the Middle East. Israel found a reliable ally in America under the leadership of President Trump, which included establishing new relations with four Muslim neighbors. This was partly because of the threat Sunni Muslim states face from Iran, but only President Trump gave those nations confidence that such agreements could be beneficial.
Today, this confidence has been shattered as the Biden administration stumbles over itself to reignite the nuclear talks under Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that President Trump wisely abandoned, and is also resuming hundreds of millions in aid to the Palestinian Authority and Hamas terrorists following on the heels of Hamas rocket attacks in May. Hamas was trounced by the Israeli military, which left large parts of Gaza in rubble, and was spared further humiliation when Biden stepped in and essentially ordered Israel to stop. The Democrat Party has once again shown its preference for stroking our enemies rather than fostering any commitment to Middle East stability or Israeli security.
It remains to be seen whether or not this will be enough to move American Jews out of the Democrat column, where they are inexplicably overrepresented. The groups who organized Sunday’s march include those across the political spectrum, from the liberal ADL and the Union for Reform Judaism to the conservative Orthodox Coalition and the Republican Jewish Coalition. But the growing anti-Semitism clearly raising its ugly head today will only become less threatening when the radical Left now ruling the Democrat Party is defanged; and that will only occur with a widespread defeat of Democrats at the polls.
Rarely says
Historically, anti-Semitism is not the property of any political leaning. It is far too universal than that. It seems to lie dormant just under the surface and raises its ugly face at every opportunity and from any direction.
Russian-brand communism was anti-religion, whatever brand a religion took. Communist Jews who supported that vision would qualify but it’s not the same as the usual understanding of what constitutes anti-Semitism..

This is true, Rarely–but the greatest sources of antisemitism right now are Islam and the far left.

Sunday’s rally against anti-Semitism will barely scratch the surface

This is true–but I’m still glad to see it.

It is true that historically, Jews have gotten it from all directions when it comes to anti-Semitism. Yet today, most of the anti-Semitism is driven by Muslims based on their Koran-dictated hatred of Jews. It is not only true in the ME, but true today in Europe and true today in the US and Canada. The focal point for the resurgence in anti-Semitism in the US has been on our college campuses, thanks to the well-oiled Palestinian propaganda machine. It has now metastasized into the community at large, thanks largely to the “intersectionality” practiced by the academic left that has linked Israel/Jews to all the world’s problems, a familiar trope.
Jewish liberal organizations are loathe to point the finger at Muslims for the explosion in anti-Semitism. Thus, they are part of the problem.
