Op-Ed: Self-hating Jews Who Enable The Evils of Anti-Semitism

Look, I have no problem with criticism of Israeli policies.  Yet what separates valid criticism from a pure hate of the Jewish state (and Jews) is the obsessive nature by which they dwell on the alleged human rights abuses of Israel, ignoring war crimes and crimes against humanity in Myanmar, Syria and Rwanda, to name just three countries.

But here’s where the useful idiot part comes in. Self-loathing Jews think they’re standing up for what’s right—advocating for social justice and the “poor Palestinians.”

As I’ve come to observe during years of covering anti-Semitic audits, events and rallies, they have foolishly allowed themselves to be used by those who care not a bit about the Palestinians, but purely and simply hate the Jewish state.

In recent years, the Israel haters – under heat from Jewish advocacy groups – have repeatedly tried to convince the world they don’t hate Judaism or Jews, they just hate Zionists. They constantly point to the self-loathing Jewish useful idiots who stand cheek by jowl with them, and allow themselves to be called a “brother” or “sister.”

I’ve watched this scenario unfold many times, in horror.

I’ve written about far too many anti-Semitic acts in recent years, and have watched major cities in Europe become unwelcoming to Jews.

 I’ve been sued by a rabid Israel hater who repeatedly labelled me a “Zionist” at protests, and didn’t like me exposing her as an anti-Semite (she eventually dropped the lawsuit). I’ve been singled out at meetings as a member of the Jewish lobby, and have been the recipient of many toxic anti-Semitic e-mails.

Contrary to the contentions of the IJV, anti-Semitism is very real.
