The Reverse Blood Libel – Commentary
The same day two monsters murdered three people in cold blood in a Jersey City kosher supermarket next door to a yeshiva housing 50 defenseless children, which was apparently the original target the Trump administration announced it would extend anti-discrimination protections under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to American Jews. The juxtaposition is important, because one was an unspeakable act of anti-Semitic evil and the other an act of philo-Semitic friendship. And yet listen to the executive director of the Central Conference of American Rabbis speaking about this: I ve heard people say this feels like the first step toward us wearing yellow stars.
Yeah, so have I. But you know, every day I hear people say stupid, factitious, wrong-headed, historically demented, and slanderous things.
