President Trump’s recent executive order to combat antisemitism has been praised by the Jewish community throughout America, but heavily criticized by the usual suspects who inspired the order in the first place.
On the heels of this executive order, we see Governor Lamont in Connecticut announcing a legislative proposal targeting “hate crimes”, although he most certainly has a different agenda than president Trump.
Both of these actions may have far reaching consequences, intended and unintended.
Can anyone assess these subjects objectively?
Certainly.
This is a task the American people are perfectly capable of addressing, yet unfortunately it is the interested parties that drive the narrative and dominate the discussion, while the common folk go unheard.
Allow me to present you a layman's perspective on these issues, in this two part essay.
We shall begin with a history lesson.
The Jewish community has quite a long history in New England, having found a haven in Rhode Island, where the colony’s founding principle of religious freedom protected them from persecution. The Touro Synagogue in Newport, finished in 1763, is in fact the oldest such structure in America, and its congregation was the recipient of President George Washington’s famous letter assuring the good will of the new country towards religious and ethnic minorities.
Ironically this Synagogue was built by a wealthy slave trader, a detail that Palestinian activists will be thrilled to learn, as it fits into their victim narrative. Palestinian activists, however, can point to no such legitimacy for their activities in our country.
Did President Washington endorse the burning of American flags or the vandalizing of national monuments? What would he say concerning the disruptive protests that occurred at Yale, allegedly targeting Jewish students, but also flagrantly stating their anti American positions? If these protesters wished to gain sympathy for the Palestinian cause, they chose an odd way to do so by directly assaulting their host country.
We have covered the origin of the Jewish community in America, but where has this sudden mass of Palestinian activists emerged from?
This began long ago in the 1960s when the United States immigration system was overhauled, and growing numbers of Palestinians fled their war torn homeland for the safety of the United States. What a spectacular example of tone deaf ingratitude for the descendants of those refugees to now turn their ire on the country that gave them shelter.
Anti Israel and anti America protests are not the exclusive territory of Palestinians, however. The Muslim diaspora has been quite vocal in its support of Palestine, with highly visible figures such as the famous incest practitioner, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, also joining the cacophony of anti American rhetoric.
One must seriously question the sanity of a country that not only allows in foreigners that hold the nation in contempt, but even allows them to secure positions of power within the government. Who enabled this?
Well, most recently it was the utterly corrupt and incompetent Biden administration. DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas was entirely complicit in the utterly catastrophic wave of immigrants and refugees that have streamed into the country, many from Muslim majority countries, who held no good will towards the United States or the Jewish state of Israel.
Interestingly enough, Mayorkas is himself Jewish, and was formerly on the board of HIAS, the “Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society”, an NGO with the purpose of facilitating mass migration. Can you say conflict of interests? No, nothing to see here, there is no conflict for a man interested in bringing refugees to America, and also tasked with keeping Americans safe. That was no issue for the Biden administration. HIAS, a Jewish organization, is directly responsible for the summer of distress experienced by the Jewish community in America.
The irony here is so thick, you almost need Ned Lamont’s tree cutting crew to get through it. Once a haven for the Jewish diaspora, the United States now apparently needs executive orders to protect the Jewish community.
Is this progress?
