The following is from an editorial in the Washington Free Beacon. It is part of their defense of Elon Musk against a charge of anti-semitism.
Jewish organizations spent millions of dollars supporting Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, and many other faddish hotbeds of bigotry. They did so because they believed that by standing with anyone who claimed to be oppressed, they could prove themselves to be allies and progressives in good standing.The strategy has failed miserably, with many of those same progressive organizations now openly supporting Hamas.
Cuddling up to those who turn out to be enemies, and snubbing those who are in fact friends has mostly typified progressive Jewry. Friends of Israel have watched this process, clicked our tongues, and wished it were otherwise.
Lesson learned: The oppressed are often quite open to oppressing others.
