A very angry post by Phyllis Chesler, #JE SUIS JUIF (I AM A JEW). It’s a reaction to the #I’llRideWithYou hashtag about the willingness to protect Muslim women even when they are threatened by no one. Her point is that nothing of the sort has occurred on behalf of Jews, even while they have been under a constant and increasingly murderous threat, both in Israel and in the West. They cannot, of course, live anywhere else. These are her concluding words, but you should read it all:

I am waiting for France to make the connection between “Israel,” and “humanity,” to comprehend that Israel is a symbol for the West; to understand that Arab Jews and Arab Christians were at the mercy of such Muslim barbarians for millennia; that the state of Israel “provoked” the age-old Islamic hatred of infidels and that the Jihad against the Jews has been going on since the beginning of the 20th century.

A sovereign Jewish state has “provoked” those Muslim terrorists who believe that the entire world should be Muslim and ruled by Sharia law. And, the Western world is now in their gun-sights.

In the last fourteen years, non-Israeli Jews, French Jews, have been mocked, followed, literally tortured, stabbed, raped, robbed, shot down, stoned, and blown up. And today, they are being held hostage in a Kosher supermarket in France.

Today, I am a Jew, “#Je Suis Juif.”

To which may be added, When push comes to shove, isn’t it curious how it’s always about the Jews?. To quote from the very end:

As Damian Penny, a proud Newfoundlander and my new god, Tweeted Friday: “Jews control the media. Jews control the government. Jews are all-powerful rulers of the world. SO WHY THE F— DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?”
