Britain dodged an anti-Semitic bullet last year, when it rejected Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party under his leadership. But does the world’s oldest hatred die that easily?
While Jew-hating is usually assumed to a “right wing” phenomeneon, what’s immediately noticeable about its modern eructation is just how pervasive it is on the left. The BDS movement, an anti-Semitic movement which seeks to eliminate the Jewish state, is de rigeur on the left. The extreme-left dominated the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Semitism became “endemic” (according to its own internal investigation) in the party. Even in the 90s, the Village Voice was noting the prevalence of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories on the left.
Anti-Semitism is also rife in the left-dominated universities. Sydney University glorified a convicted anti-Jewish terrorist on the cover of its student magazine; one of its academics was caught on camera, screaming abuse and waving money at an old Jewish lady. Another was sacked for using lecture slides showing the Nazi swastika superimposed on the Jewish flag.
Almost 80 per cent of universities have yet to adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism despite a Government threat to defund institutions that refuse, the Telegraph has learned.
Just 29 of the UK’s 133 higher education institutions have adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism, which includes the examples of holding Jews responsible for the actions of Israel and comparing Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
It recently emerged that a significant proportion of students think the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust. Should that surprise anyone, given examples like this?
Eighty universities responded to a Freedom of Information request by the Union of Jewish Students to say they had no plans to adopt the IHRA definition, while 17 said officials intended to discuss it the coming months.
Both Oxford and Cambridge are among the universities that have refused.
Remember, these are the super-woke universities teaching racist garbage like “Critical Race Theory” and who topple statues and rename buildings to erase white people. But Jew-hating is a-OK.
Anti-Semitic incidents on university campuses rose by 38 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2020, according to an analysis by the Community Security Trust.
So, why are universities so reluctant to adopt a definition of anti-Semitism?
Because it utterly destroys the lying excuse that BDS “isn’t anti-Semitic”.
The definition then lists eleven examples of anti-Semitism, including the repetition of a “myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions”[…]
The IHRA gives examples such as:
• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, eg. by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of Israel a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism (eg. claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
Some of that sounds eerily familiar from New Zealand’s own pro-BDS creeps.
The Jew-hating creeps on the left are terrified of being exposed for what they are. So they’re collectively sticking their fingers in their ears and chanting, “La-la-la-la-we-can’t-hear-you!”
