Deborah Lipstadt, who is firmly on the left and got in trouble by her past statements on Republicans during her confirmation hearing, is confident that the Trump 2.0 will be good for the Jews and she is probably right. “Lipstadt’s recent insistence that the incoming Trump administration will be well-equipped to handle antisemitism is a strong, if surprising, marker of the goodwill that President-elect Donald Trump has generated on combating antisemitism.”
Actually, not surprising at all. Trump’s appointments to the Middle East are all pro-Israel fanatics and he has stated that if Gaza doesn’t release the hostages by the time he becomes president, “all hell will break loose.” Our antiwar president going to war right off the bat. Very disappointing, and a horrible way to start Trump 2.0.
Notice that Lipstadt claims that opposition to Israeli actions in Gaza is nothing more than anti-Semitism, asserting that Jews become stand-ins for “anti-democracy, anti-capitalism, anti-Western values.” I see it a bit differently. As always, conflicts of interest are at the root of anti-Semitism, and Jewish activists frame their interests as a moral crusade in an effort to persuade the gullible and uninformed even while inflicting massive casualties on a defenseless population. Lipstadt is taking advantage of the fact that Jews dominate the West to the point that Jewish interests and attitudes have come to virtually define the West. And since the West has retained its dominant global position, Lipstadt and Israel can completely ignore any and all complaints about its genocide in Gaza knowing full well that there will be no negative repercussions. And of course, democracy and Western values like free speech, individualism, and deemphasis on ethnocentrism and the priority of ethnic identification are entirely antithetical to the mainstream Jewish community throughout its history and into the present. If democracy was a Jewish ideal, Israel would allow all Palestinians in their control to vote. Generations of Jewish intellectuals wouldn’t have sided with the Soviet Union during its most murderous period. And as an elite with very large influence in the media and politics throughout the West (think Israel Lobby in the U.S.), they wouldn’t be the main force behind the anti-White hatred that is now entirely mainstream throughout the West beginning with the influence of the Frankfurt School and other groups of Jewish intellectuals. This anti-White hate is now eagerly embraced by non-Whites that Jewish elites have imported and promoted as fellow victims in Western societies.
