Many on the Left in the Jewish community have reduced anti-Semitism to a partisan weapon. According to them, whether an individual’s statements about Jews or Israel are bigoted depends entirely upon that individual’s political affiliation—or worse, his or her race.
Ilhan Omar and David Duke say many of the same things about Jews, and Duke has backed and praised Omar on numerous occasions for echoing his words. Yet many on the Jewish Left insist that only Duke is hateful—and even claim, deplorably, that it is Omar’s critics who are biased.
When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez minimized the Holocaust by comparing detention facilities for illegal immigrants to the Buchenwald concentration camp, every Jewish scholar and organization devoted to fighting anti-Semitism and remembering the Holocaust—including Yad Vashem, the U.S. Holocaust Museum, and a consortium of Holocaust scholars and museums across the country—roundly condemned her.
Those on the Jewish Left, however, rushed to claim both that Ocasio-Cortez made no such comparison and that the comparison was appropriate—never mind that these claims were mutually contradictory. An organization called “Never Again Action” sprang up overnight, anxious to compare Latino ICE officers overseeing illegal Latino immigrants to Nazi SS guards incinerating Jews. These activists were not trying to make a logical argument, but to serve as Jewish shields to block well-deserved criticism of AOC’s disgraceful statements.
