If you found your bedroom filled with poisonous snakes, who would you hate? The snakes or the people who put them there? The Jewish groups in the following story want to fill your community with poisonous snakes. From many a non-Muslim perspective in the West, Muslim immigrants in your country are poison, just as from a Muslim perspective, the Jewish state of Israel is a poison in their midst and no churches or synagogues can be allowed in Saudi Arabia (and non-Muslims have to be segregated).
The friends of my enemies are my enemies. How do Arabs and Muslims feel about their fellow Arabs and Muslims who praise the beauty of the Jewish state of Israel? I suspect that normal Arabs and Muslims would rightly think of them as traitors. How many Arab and Muslim groups are there protesting hatred against the Jewish state of Israel?
For more than 200 years, Jews in the West have consistently sided with the coalition of the fringe against the white Christian core. You rarely find large numbers of Jews in any movement that seeks to strengthen the white Christian core against the fringe.
There is nothing in Torah that mandates how Jews should rally on behalf of other minorities. The Torah is strangely silent on civil rights legislation in gentile countries. The Torah is strangely silent about the great evils of Islamophobia, homophobia, lookism, sexism, bigotry and discrimination. The Jews who are most passionate about such things are the least Jewish, while Jews who are the most Jewish (traditional orthodox Jews) do not care about civil rights and usually vote right-wing.
Many, perhaps most Orthodox Jews in America, would be glad if all the Muslims and blacks around them disappeared. Most Jews wish that all Palestinians disappear.
A lot of Jews tell me that I am the only person they know who loves Donald Trump.
JTA: Jewish groups unite to defend Muslims from discrimination
A dozen American organizations team up to support legislation thwarting proposed ban on Muslims entering the US.
From a bid to overcome resistance to building a mosque in New Jersey to defending a Muslim student at a military academy who wants to wear a hijab, Jewish groups this week joined efforts to stop anti-Muslim discrimination.
Nearly a dozen Jewish groups are also backing legislation against banning entry to Muslims, prompted by a proposal for such a ban by presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists joined the Becket Fund, a conservative group that advocates for religious liberty, in a friend of the court brief filed Wednesday on behalf of Muslims who have been blocked from building a mosque in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Another of the groups backing the Muslim community in the mosque case is the Interfaith Coalition on Mosques, a group convened in 2010 by the Anti-Defamation League to support Muslim communities seeking to build mosques. “The Islamic Society of Basking Ridge was held to a different standard than every other house of worship in the community, and that is simply unacceptable,” Joshua Cohen, ADL’s regional director, said in a statement.
Also Wednesday, the American Jewish Committee called on The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, to allow a Muslim student to wear a hijab.
The college president, Lt. Gen. John Rosa, said that deviations from the school’s uniform could detract from leadership training, the Washington Post reported Wednesday, adding that the college otherwise remains committed to diversity.
“The Citadel should reverse its hijab ban as part of its commitment to preparing its students for leadership positions in military service and civilian careers,” Robert Silverman, AJC’s director of Muslim-Jewish relations, said in a statement.
The statement noted that Jewish groups, including the AJC, backed legislation passed in 1988 that allowed servicemen to wear religious garb based on litigation brought in the 1980s by a Jewish Air Force officer who wanted to wear a kippah.
Separately, more than 70 members of the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday introduced legislation that would prohibit religion as a criterion for banning entry to visitors, immigrants or refugees.
Broadsides against Muslims by Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and other Republican candidates sparked the legislation.
The legislation is backed by at least 11 Jewish groups, including umbrella bodies for the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements and the public policy umbrella, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, among the more than 30 faith groups that have expressed support for it.
COMMENTS SECTION:
* Shouldn’t these Jew Socialists be focused on helping indigent Jewish elderly in Brooklyn and donating to Maimonides Hospital?
* Jewish groups should stick to discussing Judaism and fighting for the Jewish people. They should quit pretending Islam is the same as Judaism, and actually learn about the doctrines of the Koran which teaches that the Jews are the most corrupt and worst enemies of the true believers, i.e., Muslims. Jewish groups should be confronting Islamic Jew hatred, not foolishly fighting for Islam.
* These self hating Jews should unite to protect Israelis, fellow Jews, Christians, and any non Muslims from Muslim discrimination, It seems to me that Muslims do most of the killing and discriminating in this world. They also do the most whining about being discriminated against.
* Yet no Jews are allowed in any Arab country…where are the muslims protesting that…Liberal Jews are lost in space.
* Sorry liberal jewish groups – but you do NOT have my support or that of many others involved in the mideast conflict. Muslims are NOT welcome in the West and neither I nor anyone else I know support them until they learn how to act like civilized humans on many fronts, including the acceptance of the rights of non-muslims, treatment of non-muslims in the mideast as equals, acceptance of Israel, etc.
