Writing at the American Enterprise Institute’s website, Samuel Abrams looks at Jews tending to move away from a Democratic Party which increasingly views them as bad folk. Along the way he quotes the best definition of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) that I’ve seen.
Former DEI collegiate administrator Tabia Lee succinctly captures the fear of Jews concerning DEI by noting that “DEI is built on the unshakable belief that the world is divided into two groups of people: the oppressors and the oppressed.” In the DEI world of Kamala Harris, Jews are branded as oppressors and Israel is considered a “genocidal, settler, colonialist state.” This way of thinking, Lee says, means that “criticizing Israel and the Jewish people is not only acceptable but praiseworthy” and “if you defend them, you’re actively abetting racist oppression.”
“Oppressors and oppressed” is an absurdly simplistic world view. In a competitive world, it means always siding with losers.
Be a winner! Figure out how to make the system work “for” you and be a success.
