(Jewish Group) Fighting Anti-Semitism Has Become A Partisan Game

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Last week, both Republican and Democratic representatives in Congress were revealed to have met with anti-Semites. But only one side was reported in the mainstream media: GOP Congressmen’s association with Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson.

Not so news of Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s association with Hezbollah supporter Abbas Hamideh, who has called Jews “shlomos” — an anti-Semitic slur — and advocated for the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews.

Tlaib did face some censure, but mainly from the right, just as the GOP’s meeting with a Holocaust denier sparked anger mostly from the left. In other words, each event provoked fury almost exclusively on the other side of the aisle. Almost no one was outraged by both.

But this sad state of affairs, in which opposition to anti-Semitism is more a partisan game than a true agenda, is par for the course.

The juxtaposition of congresspersons on opposite ends of the political spectrum associating with anti-Semites, only to meet with outrage from their political rivals, is part and parcel of a broader phenomenon in which folks on the right focus on left-wing anti-Semitism, turning a blind eye to right-wing anti-Semitism, with the left doing the same in the opposite direction.
