Elder of ZiyonBut were they really mourning for Jews killed in antisemitic attacks, or were they more interested in using these Jewish lives as puppets to attack the Right and Trump?
Based on their tweets from that day, they spent a bit of effort making sure that their message was at least as much about white nationalism and Trump as it was about the actual victims.
But surely they care about the Jewish victims of all hate crimes, don't they?
Sadly, the answer appears to be no.
Today was the first anniversary of the Jersey City shootings at a kosher grocery store, where 3 of the victims were gunned down simply because they were in a Jewish store.
Neither Bend the Arc, nor Jewish Voice for Peace, nor IfNotNow, nor Peter Beinart's Jewish Currents, tweeted a single word about the antisemitic Jersey City shootings.
There is only one reason why: because the murderers were not white nationalists. In fact, they were Black.
These supposedly Jewish groups keep insisting that the only antisemitism that exists comes from white nationalists.
These socialist Left groups care more about pushing their political narrative than they care about Jewish lives. They don't give a DAMN about Leah Mindel Ferencz and Moshe Deutsch, gunned down because they were recognizably Jewish.
And their silence about Jersey City shows that their supposed outrage over the Tree of Life massacre is fake, too. They care as little about the victims in Pittsburgh as they do about the victims in Jersey City. To them the martyrs of the Tree of Life synagogue are nothing more than props for their politics. The victims are merely ammunition for these fake Jews to cynically use to attack anyone who doesn't share their socialist politics.
To these amoral Leftist groups, dead Jews fall into two categories: , whether they are useful or useless to their cause. Either way, they aren't mourning dead Jews - they are using or discarding them based on who their murderers are and if they can leverage the bloody bodies for their sick politics.
It is difficult to overstate how gross this is.
If you care about antisemitism, you care about all victims of antisemitism. The far Left Jewish groups fail that test, miserably.
