Lefty Anti-Israel Activists Vandalize Cafe Over Jewish Owner frontpagemag.com/point/272493/l…
The Left insists that it's not anti-Semitism, it's anti-Zionism. Except this is the latest incident that shows how close together the two are.
I have very little sympathy for the owner, who is learning a very old lesson, that no matter how much you pander to the anti-Semites, they will still hate you and come after you. The Jewish owner of a cafe in San Francisco did everything he could to pander to the Left.
They came for him anyway.
What's the basis for accusing Yekutiel of Zionism? Not much. In his op-ed, he writes...
“I have complicated feelings about Israel. I do not support everything that its government does (nor everything our American government does).”
“I have complicated feelings about Israel. I do not support everything that its government does (nor everything our American government does).”
“Israel and the United States have provided my family with safety when other countries haven’t, but that doesn’t mean I support the ending of innocent life. My hope for the Israeli and Palestinians is to soon live in peace with mutual recognition in sovereign and safe borders.”
That used to be a mainstream lefty position. Now it makes you a Zionist. Which is apparently indistinguishable from Jewish.
The Left is an anti-Semitic movement. Any attempts to appease them will ultimately prove futile.
