The Week in Whoppers: White House Frets Over Islamophobia as Jews are Targeted, The Guardian Sees the Holocaust as Irrelevant and More; Cooper Union ‘protest’ Proves Lefty Jew-Hate is Institutional

“Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.”

—WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, when asked about antisemitism 

We say: After taking heat (even from Democrats) for that tone-deaf answer, the White House claimed Jean-Pierre misheard the question.

But she was reading from a script when she raised the specter of attacks on Muslims.

Clearly this was a key point Team Biden wanted her to convey, just days after the “hate-fueled” slaughter of Jews in Israel and a wave of antisemitic protests across the nation. It’s sickening.

This charge:

“A lot of people around the world see Russia and Israel [as] the same. . . . Israel is the occupier of the West Bank and Gaza.”

— MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, Monday

We say: What a disgusting analogy — followed by a gross accusation.

Ukrainians didn’t murder Russian civilians; Vladimir Putin had no excuse for his war to gobble up Ukraine.

Yet Gazan terrorists did slaughter Israelis. And though Israel is now defending itself, it has no interest in taking over Gaza.

As for being an occupier, hello? Hamas has been the “occupier”; Israel hasn’t been in Gaza since 2005.

Both there and in the West Bank, its interests are limited mostly to security concerns.

(Oh, and there was never a Palestinian state in the West Bank to be “occupied” in the first place. Jordan ruled it until the 1967 Six-Day War.) —>READ MORE HERE

Cooper Union ‘protest’ proves lefty Jew-hate is institutional:

Leftists love to commit mob violence under the cover of legitimate protest: Witness the pack of pro-Palestinian thugs allegedly protesting against “Zionism” who stormed the library at Manhattan’s Cooper Union.

The Hamas-lovers began their protest outside as part of a faculty-blessed walkout.

But then, yelling and carrying signs that read “Zionism Hands Off Our Universities,” they decided to take it indoors and breezed past school security.

No challenge, when the mob reportedly numbered about 100, against only a dozen school security officers.

They were seemingly on their way to the school president’s office to demand she denounce Israel’s justified counterattacks on Gaza after the Hamas atrocities launched from there.

But, surprise surprise, like many other lefty mobs, they turned their anger away from the powerful and directed it at the powerless.

In this case, Jewish students who happened to be in the library at the time.

The protesters banged on the doors and reportedly shouted antisemitic rhetoric. —>READ MORE HERE
