Extra” commentaries representing Hineni CU, a progressive Jewish organization,
addressing Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, this adds to the
cacophony of decontextualized, uninformed, and non-insightful views currently
being expressed from the “Alt-right” to the “Antifa left."</font><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">Those generally calling themselves “progressive” in the
current context have little stomach for acknowledging the morbid continuity of
administrations from Carter to Trump, inclusive: perpetual resource wars
abroad, war on the working class abetted by structural racism (including drug
war/mass incarceration) at home. Instead, we are urged into a moral panic in
response to disparate and pathetic groups whose violent potential is
alleged—inaccurately and egregiously so—to be analogous to Nazi Germany.</font></p><div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">The hypocrisy of “Jewish progressivism” in relation to
Israeli apartheid is obvious. The increased reliance of “progressives” in
general on the thin and exaggerated thought crime “data collection” of the
(Zionist) Anti-Defamation League and (cynical, filthy rich) Southern Poverty
Law Center only further reveals an advanced, intellectually decrepit stage of
identity politics, now transparently dressed in the academic jargon of
“intersectionality.”</font></p><div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">In this context of decontextualized, social media-driven
moral panic, basic social justice movement tenets regarding principles,
strategy, and tactics are carelessly and shockingly rationalized away: freedom
of speech and assembly, non-violence, and the necessity of rational and
informed debate. Unfortunately, Students for Justice in Palestine appears to
have joined this descent. Thus, as Noam Chomsky has correctly described the
ridiculous “Antifa” as a “gift to the Alt-Right,” it now becomes a gift to
Zionists.</font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><font color="#196ad4" face="Calibri" size="3"><a href="http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/guest-commentary/2017-09-10/sunday-extra-leaders-must-denounce-hate-crimes.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u>http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/guest-commentary/2017-09-10/sunday-extra-leaders-must-denounce-hate-crimes.html</u></a></font></font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><a href="http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/guest-commentary/2017-08-13/sunday-extra-lets-stand-together-against-hate-c-u.html">http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/guest-commentary/2017-08-13/sunday-extra-lets-stand-together-against-hate-c-u.html</a></font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><br></font></p><div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
