The anti-Israel protest movement, a movement that has gained widespread traction among the younger generation across America, is part of a larger movement that is essentially an anti-American movement. Flags are not just important symbols. They truly display the thoughts and feelings of those who hold them high or burn them.
Those who show no respect to the flags, statues and other symbols of the United States are the same people who truly are working to bring down the United States from within. This is an encroaching movement that is closely tied to deeply held anti-Jewish beliefs. There is no one ethnicity in the United States that has been as disproportionately involved in giving back to the United States than the Jewish people. There are literally thousands of hospitals, cultural centers, and educational institutions across the United States that have been donated by philanthropic Jewish organizations and individual Jewish philanthropists. The vast majority of these are non-denominational and help everybody of all race – including the anti-Jewish protesters.
But the Jew-haters are not working from a rational place. They are clearly driven by an emotional animus that is much deeper than the logic that would dictate a more nuanced approach to any criticisms one may have to Israel’s battles against their enemies.
The millions of Jewish people who live in the United States are not going to leave the United States on their own volition. They are deeply emotionally connected to the culture of the United States. By and large, they see themselves as Americans of the Jewish faith. And they are largely way more American than they are Jewish. But the United States of America – especially on the east and left coasts are voting in socialist Jew-haters into positions of power that will make life for Jews more and more untenable. Over the short term, Florida, Texas, and other States with more rational leadership will benefit. But if the United States of America votes in Jew-haters at the federal level too, even States like Florida and Texas will have a hard time reigning in the Jew-hatred.
The eternal scapegoat, the Jew, will be blamed for any economic downturns by the very same socialists who’s mathematically impossible policies are the true cause for the inevitable economic downturn that much of the United States will face. The anti-Jewish cancer is spreading. If it truly continues as it is now, the outlook over the next 5-10 years is bleak. But it is not at all too late to turn things around. Curbing unbridled immigration is certainly one of the key steps. But labelling the Jew-haters is another critical step in order to stem that terrible spread. Douglas Murray does it better than anyone. Once they are labelled, they can be confronted.
