This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
Gabriel Schoenfeld: Back to the Future - British anti-Semitism returns-with a vengeance - '...Writing not long after World War II, George Orwell noted that "prejudice against Jews has always been pretty widespread in England," but the depredations of Hitler had caused a lull in public expression of such sentiments. During the war, many came to realize that "this is not a time to throw stones at the Jews." But even though a taboo had set in, this hardly altered underlying sentiments: "Many people who would perish rather than admit to anti-Semitic feelings," wrote Orwell, are nonetheless "secretly prone to them." Times have changed. Mearsheimer and Walt's poison is doing its work, and the secret feelings are no longer so secret. Indeed, when it comes to Great Britain's small Jewish community--some 300,000 souls in a country of 61 million--the soccer hooligans and the intellectual and media elite are increasingly united in their loutish-ness.'
From the article...
" On the heels of this episode comes an astonishing ruling from Great Britain's newly created high court holding that an Orthodox Jewish school is guilty of "discrimination" for insisting that matrilineal descent--a core precept of Judaism--determines who is a Jew and eligible to enroll. "
Hoist on their own petard, with that one, Id say.
It was all well and good when English organizations were put under lawfare and court supervision. But now, something terrible is happening, they are now holding Jews to the same standards that Jews fought to impose upon the English Christians (via their support of the Left).
ev, you want us to believe that the left wing bbc and the guardian is run by JOOOZ and not "euro christians"?
LOL!
Every one of your posts makes you look more idiotic.
Regardless of other groups support of the Leftwing project, you cant separate Jews from it. They were part of the coalition which brought this zeitgeist, this establisment about.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor, I say.
Or if you dont like it, change you politics.
Trust me on this Eddie, I hold the Lefts and every "minority" group that supports it as a project's feet to the fire, not just Jews.
FTR, I think that the little Jewish boy, without a Jewish mother, should have been admitted to the school.
