The Anti-Semitism Of The "Anti-War" Left

And this viewpoint comes from within the "anti-war" Left -- from an intern with one of the major "anti-war" groups. Except this intern discovered that such groups are not so much "anti-war' as they are "anti-Jew", or at least "anti-Israel".

The American Left is notoriously anti-Israel. It seems that if one is pro-choice, or pro-gay, or even pro-civil liberties, one is almost automatically against the evil theocratic military machine dug in unfairly in amongst its peace loving neighbors.

Nevertheless, as I set out to continue my efforts to end the Iraq War by working as a summer intern at a major anti-war coalition based in New York City, a coalition famous for organizing some of the largest demonstrations against the war, I expected the activists who worked there to be different. I expected individuals dedicated to ending all war and the atrocities that are chained to any and every armed conflict to be able rise above the quid pro quo political banter that has dominated the Arab-Israeli conflict from its conception and simply work for peace. I was wrong.

In every instance, Israel was painted as the villain, the Jews as the agents of wrong-doing. Even when israel was teh victim of attacks, it was the wrong-doer for engaging in self-defense.

Sounds like the "anti-war" Left is simply against Jews daring to fight back.

ADDENDUM: Just a reminder of how deep Jew-hatred goes in the "mainstream" Left.

1 I thought Pat Buchanan and Kathryn Harris were Republicans.  Oh,
that's right, they are.  I guess you guys have the market cornered
on genuine anti-semites.

2 Given teh amount of anti-Semitism spewed by the Left, I would suggest that you really don't want to go there.

Besides, Pat left the GOP years ago to run for president with another party. And you would be hard-pressed to call Rep. Harris an anti-Semite -- where is your evidence?

3 She claims that if we elect non-Christian legislators, they will legislate sin.

And failure to support Israel is not the same as anti-Semitism.

4 1. That hardly constitutes anti-Semitism.

2) Martin luther King certainly disagreed with that premise, Dan. And besides, when you support those who indicate their goal is the extermination of Jews, yes, opposition to Israel IS anti-Semitism.

5 That's not anti-Semitism, to say that non-Christians will legislate sin?!?! Wow, that's a pretty high bar for anti-semitism you're setting there. I suppose Jewish people are okay, as long as we don't allow their immorality to pollute our nation??

MLK was wrong if he said that failure to support Israel is the same as anti-Semitism.

6 "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, You are talking anti-Semitism." -- Rev. Martin Luther King

“Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.” -- Rev. Martin Luther King

7 And as for the Harris quote -- it is not anti-Semitism, it is stupidity.

8 Anti-Semitism and stupidity are not mutually exclusive. Believing that non-Christians will legislate sin is anti-Semitism - as well as anti-Islam, but I doubt you'd complain about that.

10 And I hear one of them was your mother --and that she enjoyed it so much she paid him.
