Democrats Go Deeper into Anti-Semitism

One would think it would be a no-brainer that a country has the right to bar from entry those who are publicly bigoted against its people and who are allied with those who oppose its very existence.  But if one’s brain is infected by anti-semitism, then apparently Israel has no right to bar from entry virulent anti-semites Ilhan Omar and Rachida Tlaib. (Israel did actually allow Tlaib entry to visit her grandmother, but she then refused the offer in what appears to be a set up designed to make Israel look bad.)

But for the rational, it is indeed a no-brainer that Israel is well within its rights to bar and defend itself from anti-semites like Omar and Tlaib. 

Now, of course, Omar and Tlaib are playing the victim – and lying to do so.  What astounds is that House Democrat leaders are backing them up and attacking Israel over this. Even relatively moderate Steny Hoyer has said Israel’s decision is “deeply disappointing,” “disrespectful,” and “unacceptable.”  And key House committee leaders are aiming to make life difficult for U. S. Ambassador to Israel and for Israel’s Ambassador to the U. S.

This anti-semitic double standard from Democrats is appalling. Heck, the U. K. has barred entry to people with less grounds.  Does only Israel not have the right to bar those hostile to its people, values, and even existence?

Early this year, I warned against the rise of anti-semitism in the West, here and while leading Morning Prayer at my church.  That I was right so to do is sadly becoming more and more evident.

Yale’s Episcopalian Chaplain Blames the JOOOOS for Anti-Semitism

Yes, those - those - JEWS have the gall to defend themselves!  They do not just tolerate incoming missiles and give away their land to enemies.  No wonder there is a rise in anti-Semitism!

To the Editor:

Deborah E. Lipstadt makes far too little of the relationship between Israel’s policies in the West Bank and Gaza and growing anti-Semitism in Europe and beyond.

The trend to which she alludes parallels the carnage in Gaza over the last five years, not to mention the perpetually stalled peace talks and the continuing occupation of the West Bank.

As hope for a two-state solution fades and Palestinian casualties continue to mount, the best antidote to anti-Semitism would be for Israel’s patrons abroad to press the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for final-status resolution to the Palestinian question.

Yep, anti-Semitism is Israel’s fault.  Got it.

Anti-Semitism always has its excuses.

Who leaked Israel-Azerbaijan Agreement?

There is strong speculation overnight that the Obama regime just stabbed Israel in the back. How? By leaking a secret agreement that Azerbaijan would give Israel permission to land jets on Azeri airfields after a bombing raid on Iran. Apparently someone considers Israel bombing Iran to be more dangerous than Iran getting a nuclear bomb.

Now I am not going to jump the gun and say the Obama regime was definitely behind this despicable leak. But John Bolton and the Jerusalem Post sure are convinced the leak came from Obama’s men. And the report in Foreign Policy magazine claims to be based on “four senior diplomats and military intelligence officers.” Or put another way, “several high level sources . . . inside the U. S. government.” So it sure does smell like the Obama regime.

This might be something to watch. If this leak does get pinned to Obama, that his regime is undermining Israel and aiding Iran in this way, it could be explosive politically.

And it should be if so.

“Free Speech”

“Free Speech” in many universities means if you disagree with Leftists and Jew-hating Muslims, you don’t get to speak. Yet another sorry example of that twisted definition in action:
