Jeffrey Grossman’s Post

The federal government MUST pull federal funding from colleges and universities that fail to quell antisemitism and protect their Jewish students!!!!! Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 colleges MUST provide ALL students, including students who are or are perceived to be Jewish or Israeli, a school environment free from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. Title VI’s protection from race, color, or national origin discrimination extends to students who experience discrimination, including harassment, based on their actual or perceived: (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics; or (ii) citizenship or residency in a country with a dominant religion or distinct religious identity. Schools that receive federal financial assistance have a responsibility to address discrimination when the discrimination involves racial, ethnic, or ancestral slurs or stereotypes; when the discrimination is based on a student’s skin color, physical features, or style of dress that reflects both ethnic and religious traditions, to name a few characteristics. The federal government did withhold federal money from school districts in the 1960s, prior to the creation of the Education Department, over their refusal to integrate.

It still boggles the mind that Western elites have become so Israelophobic , they increasingly loathe Europe’s and America’s history and traditions, and view the Jewish state as a standout example of a Western model they reject. They don't seem to get the fact that 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚. 𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙪𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛. This infection? indoctrination? Wokeness? Has created an environment in which Winston Churchill, himeself, would be convicted for crimes against humanity today, as would Franklin D Roosevelt and Harry Truman. D-Day would be ruled illegitimate because so many French civilians died during the Battle of Normandy. States have the right to defend themselves. Every civilian life lost as collateral damage is a tragedy, but pacifism is a deluded utopia that fails to grasp the reality of the human condition. It is madness to criminalise all warfare, and despicable to focus on that conducted by democracies and ignore that advanced by our enemies. It is equally stupid to entrust so much power to legal activists. Much historic anti-Semitism has been ratified by kangaroo courts, including during the 1930s. From the Trial of the Talmud in 1240, France to the Disputations of Barcleon and Tortosa, the Damascas and the Dreyfus affair (that prompted Emile Zola's work J'accuse) and the trial of Mendel Beilis in Ukraine in 1913, are but a few (easily searchable) examples of bigot-fests masquarading as ordinary trials. It is a well-established model that hasn’t gone out of fashion in far-Left quarters. They leverage lawfare to delegitimise what just happens to be the only Jewish state. The fact that the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have the trappings of a legitimate legal setting does not mean they necessarily embody justice. The fact that their rulings are deemed legitimate by Left-wing elites doesn’t automatically make them such. The fact that today’s blood libels take on the language of “human rights” doesn’t make them less monstrous. The fact that it is possible for a country as unjustly governed as South Africa to lead a genocide case against Israel proves that the entire system is rotten. Backed by Iran, Brazil’s far-Left president, Ireland and Egypt: we must have been transported into an alternative, Kafkaesque universe. Israel is the supreme embodiment of law-bound national, democratic sovereignty, of peoplehood, of matching a nation to a state, of post-imperialism, of capitalism and technology, and of the continued relevance of the monotheistic religions. Tearing down Israel, destroys the very ideas that underpin the West, imploding internaltional order and allows autocracies to triumph.

The Tipping Point Government is attempting to seize businesses of "enemies of the state" and hopefully sold at bargain prices(NYC government). Political opponents are being indicted, judged and imprisoned(Jan 6 and Republican aides/colleagues/friends of conservatives). Jewish people are being targeted because they are not running away(university protests) and making it difficult for Jewish students to attend school. Christians and/or individuals are being hazed for their religious affiliation(FBI spying on Catholic churches). The government has invoked emergency edicts to suspend or forbid free speech, assembly or or free press(pandemic). Hamas/Muslims/pro-Palestinians professional protestors are causing havoc in our American universities. Some of our American universities are losing control of their campuses. Our morals are decaying in allowing pornography in our elementary schools. Drag queens are teaching our children. The interpretation of laws is being so convoluted that truth is difficult to discern. Incidentally the first scenario is about what happen in Germany prior to 1940. We are allowing a few radical group of people to influence our country. I stand and will defend the Jewish nation. God Bless Israel. God Bless America. It is time to stand up.

The libertarian position is to oppose the criminal violence of #Hamas and the criminal violence the state of #Israel, which has been occurring on an incomparably greater scale, with #Zionists systematically violating #Palestinians' fundamental #HumanRights since before the Jewish supremacist state even existed, and including the crimes against humanity of #ethniccleansing, #apartheid, and now #genocide.

Why it is so misguided--indeed antisemitic--to keep associating the supposed "Jewish community" with support for genocide: "NAOMI KLEIN: — Political Zionism’s version of liberation is itself profane. From the start, it required the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and ancestral lands in the Nakba. From the start, it has been at war with collective dreams of liberation. At a seder, it is worth remembering that this includes the dreams of liberation and self-determination of the Egyptian people. This false idol of Zionism has long equated Israeli safety with Egyptian dictatorship and unfreedom and client state. (...) Zionism has brought us to our present moment of cataclysm, and it is time that we say clearly it has always been leading us here. It is a false idol that has led far too many of our own people down a deeply immoral path that now has them justifying the shredding of core commandments — “Thou shall not kill,” “Thou shall not steal,” “Thou shall not covet” — the commandments brought down from the mount. It is a false idol that equates Jewish freedom with cluster bombs that kill and maim Palestinian children. Zionism is a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value, including the value that we place on questioning a practice embedded in the seder itself with its four questions asked by the youngest child. It also betrays the love that we have as a people for text and for education. Today this false idol dares to justify the bombing of every single university in Gaza, the destruction of countless schools, of archives, of printing presses, the killing of hundreds of academics, scholars, journalists, poets, essayists. This is what Palestinians call scholasticide, the killing of the infrastructure and the means of education. Meanwhile, in this city, the universities call the NYPD and barricade themselves against the grave threat posed by their own students asking them — CROWD: Shame! NAOMI KLEIN: — students embodying the spirit of the seder, asking the most basic question, asking questions like “How can you claim to believe in anything at all, least of all us, while you enable, invest in and collaborate with this genocide?” The false idol of Zionism has been allowed to grow unchecked for far too long. So tonight we say it ends here. Our Judaism cannot be contained by an ethnostate, for our Judaism is internationalist by its very nature. Our Judaism cannot be protected by the rampaging military of that ethnostate, for all that military does is sow sorrow and reap hatred, including hatred against us as Jews. Our Judaism is not threatened by people raising their voices in solidarity with Palestine across lines of race, ethnicity, physical ability, gender identity and generations. Our Judaism is one of those voices and knows that in this chorus lies both our safety and our collective liberation."

From Jonathan Tobin of the JNS: "Many Jews believed they could always count on enlightened liberal opinion in this country not only to condemn expressions of right-wing Jew-hatred in the strongest terms but to also isolate it. Instead, they have watched with amazement and concern as the mobs engaging in antisemitic invective have been defended or rationalized in mainstream liberal media like The New York Times and MSNBC as idealists or, at worst, emotional kids whose actions are an understandable reaction to Israeli atrocities. In doing so, those who are taking this line aren’t just repeating and spreading Hamas propaganda and blatant falsehoods. They are accepting the premise that opposition to the existence of the one Jewish state on the planet is somehow the natural political position of those who call themselves progressives." Those who remain seduced by "progressivism" need to wake up before it's too late. The overt Jew-hatred remains tolerated if not acceptable among the wider left.

The Nazis had enough morality to know what they were doing was wrong, so they tried to hide it. While Israel lacks the most basic fundamentals of morality that they are committing this genocide in front of the entire world. And what's even worse, is that while Israel has indoctrinated their citizens by manipulating education, restricting the truth, and raising a culture built upon a superiority complex in order to mold extremists with terroristic tendencies absent of humanity... We see that an unacceptable amount of people around the world whom have not been raised in such brainwashing circumstances, still lack the most basic understanding of morality. And that, is extremely terrifying... That inability for fellow parents to practice empathy as grown adults raising the future of this world... To step outside of privileged safety and security to question, "What if it were my child under the rubble?" That unwillingness of human beings with the divinely gifted capacity fit to invent, evoke change, solve problems, unify, and create... To even be bothered enough by the slaughter of thousands upon thousands to do research, to uncover the truth, to question propaganda, to speak up, to protest, to sign a petition. That hypocrisy of "God fearing" believers whom selectively weaponize His Word to back a one-sided double standard narrative... To justify actions that directly violate the Commandments He gave us, and thus the very religious values they claim to honor. This is a time of trial. Not just for Israel, but the world.
