By now you have seen the news of the group of Jewish children
being kicked off a plane and their camp director arrested for, according to the people on the plane, no reason whatsoever.
While the airline claims the children were disruptive,
people on the plane did not see or hear anything. They described the teens as polite. One child tried to start a song with one word, no one sang along and that was it.
These were French Jewish children. Not Israelis.
But this is not the only story of undeniable antisemitism from the supposedly woke, anti-discrimination crowd.
In Morocco, leader of the Marrakesh Jewish community Jacky Kadoch extoled the history of friendship between Muslims and Jews in Morocco, even suggesting that Rosh Hashanah be declared a national holiday. (I do not think this was a serious suggestion.) In response, Ali Bouabid, the head of the socialist Abderrahim Bouabid Foundation,
slammed the leader, saying that the Jewish community in Morocco was silent over the Gaza "genocide" and therefore has no right to speak out on anything. He explicitly says that Morocco's Jews can never be accepted as full citizens unless the pass his purity test of denouncing Israel: "Let it be clearly understood that no true normalization will take root in consciences until Moroccan Jews – the primary custodians of this ethical requirement – denounce Israel's genocidal policy."
Two Jewish comedians have been ‘cancelled’ from appearing at the world-renown Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.
The Whistlebinkies venue booked Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon for their individual acts—Ultimate Jewish Mother and a Jew-O-Rama chat show respectively—before bar staff at the venue complained this would make them ‘feel unsafe.’ The claims were linked to speculation that Jewish acts at the Fringe would need additional police protection.
Both performances have now been withdrawn from the official Edinburgh Fringe listings website. A press release from the duo noted that venue staff also complained of them holding a “vigil” for IDF soldiers in 2024—they didn’t—and of ‘Free Palestine’ graffiti left on toilet doors (hardly the fault of the comics).
All of these incidents are within the past 24 hours.
In none of these incidents are Israelis involved. Just Jews.
In none of these cases are the antisemites from the Right. In fact, they would all insist that they are upholding the best progressive principles, but of course there are other factors that must also be considered.
And coincidentally, all of those factors are uniquely against Jews.
