Harvard President Claudine Gay, together with presidents of MIT and,Penn, testifies before Congress that she cannot condemn calls for genocide of Jews without knowing “context.” Many call for her resignation or firing. But NAACP President Derrick Johnson supports her, implying criticism of Gay is racist. Advocating mass murder of Jews isn’t racist? Then what is it? Salsa dancing?
Jews were prominent in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and 1970s. Here is a photo of renowned Jewish philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel marching arm-in-arm, literally, with Dr. King. For all the years from then to today, I have been waiting very patiently for leaders of the Black community to say “Thank you.” Through years of anti-Semitism, I waited for those leaders to give a word of support. Instead I got support for those who seek to dismantle Israel.
But now, at long last, I have my “Thank you.” It comes in the form of support for not just dismantling Israel and killing its Jews, but committing genocide on all Jews. That’s how you treat your friends?
