There used to be a debate over whether there was a difference between “antisemitism” and “antizionism”. The same people who claimed that there was a difference have settled it. The Left has compressed the two with antizionism perfectly legitimizing antisemitism.
Some call this the ‘Corbynization of the Democratic Party’. And it’s really more notable at the ‘center’ than at the fringes. Forget the guys in keffiyehs screaming hate outside a synagogue. Pay attention to the media describing them as “peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters”.
But forget Israel for a moment. Think about what it means when this is a casual afterthought in a media story about a congressional race.
Pat Moran, a Democrat who voted for Alsobrooks this week, said she was drawn to the candidate because of her experience fighting crime in the county. “You know what the crime is like; it’s off the chain,” she said. But the candidate’s identity mattered, too. “We need an African American in the Senate. We do need a balance of power in the Senate.”
Nagender Madavaram, an engineer who was supporting Trone, said that he made his mind up after watching the Democrat bring money back to Maryland and make his own charitable donations to good causes. “He’s allocated $300,000 to protect the rights of Muslims,” Madavaram said, “even though he married a Jewish lady. He’s a great guy. He never hesitated.”
There you have the perfect merger of the two into the antisemitic gestalt.
A widely accredited mainstream media report at a widely buzzed site, Semafor, casually drops a quote from a man who claims that he’s supporting a candidate because he’s pro-Muslim “even though he married a Jewish lady.”
Imagine this quote as “even though he married a black lady” or “even though he married a Chinese lady” and there would be fuming outrage or at the very least the gentleman would be depicted as representative of the ignorant bigots. But “even though he married a Jewish lady” is no big deal here. Worse still it’s an affirmation of progressive values to excuse your crime in having “married a Jewish lady” by being progressively pro-Muslim.
This is the new normal now. And what does that say about the state of the media? And the media party?
