@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour Can we talk about what it means for Western Civ that a national leader on the level of Jeremy Corbyn is an undeniable antisemite? That a major national party in a wealthy democracy is filled with Jew Hatred? That the US political equivalents seem headed down the same road?
@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour For one thing, it is political DEATH for any party that becomes the party of Jew hatred. Not that they won’t win elections - in the short run they may, and it might look like a winning strategy.
@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour But in the long run, any party and any society that embraces mass antisemitism destroys itself. Because antisemitism always come with other baggage. Paranoia. Embracing of conspiracy theories. Purging of non-orthodox thinkers. Intellectual decline, followed by economic decline.
@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour Any society that finds itself drifting into antisemitism is drifting into decline. It may start out appearing to identify external enemies - Jews, Israel, Zionists - but it always ends with self-destruction.
@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour It may be too late for the UK, or maybe they are about to pull themselves back from the precipice. But the US Left can still save itself. See the damage that Corbynites have caused. See the people internally who are guiding you down that path. And save yourselves.
@SussexFriends @mr_markjacobs @NewYorker @washingtonpost @nytimes @UKLabour I could argue against antisemitism because it is morally wrong; Or to protect myself and my fellow Jews. But I’m arguing for your own self-interest, my far-Left friends. Because even if individual Jews suffer, the Jewish People will survive and thrive. You will lose everything.
