No matter how much Israel-haters swear that they are not anti-Semitic, they continue to give themselves away.
The latest evidence can be found on the fence in front of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home in Michigan, where a vandal scrawled the word NAZIS.
This is a characteristic rhetorical move of “anti-Zionists” whenever Israel has to defend itself from terrorism.
Whoever wrote it showed the world that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, plain and simple.
Emanuel is an American born in Chicago. His father left Israel for America. Emanuel serves as ambassador in Japan.
Why target him? except Because of your religion?
Other evidence abounds in the United States and around the world.
Consider the dead-eyed protester displaying a swastika at a “pro-Palestine” rally promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America.
Or the chants of “Gas the Jews” – not “the Israelis” – that broke out on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. during a “pro-Palestinian” demonstration two days after the Hamas attacks of October 7.
Or the attacks on a Jewish school and a kosher restaurant in London, and the ringing of “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud” (a chant invoking a 7th-century battle where Muslims massacred Jews) at another demonstration there.
Or the stars of David drawn on the houses of the Jews of Berlin.
Then there’s Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, censured by the House for her sociopathic behavior after the Hamas attacks.
It turns out that this “anti-Zionist” hangs out in a Facebook group full of open hatred of Jews.
Let’s not forget former Women’s March chief Linda Sarsour, another “anti-Zionist” who simply couldn’t bring herself to denounce the proud anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.
No matter how many rhetorical constructions these people make, their real hatred could not be clearer.
Its efforts to conceal it, transparent at best, fade almost to nothing each time Israel takes action against the forces that threaten its existence.
So let’s call this hate exactly what it is and show Hamas supporters around the world that we are behind them.
