Political Correctness & Antisemitism are Mental Disorders

These are excerpts from a column by Ed Morissey called American Kristallnacht? He needs to remove the question mark now.

"An anti-Semitic mob was blasted by Pennsylvania’s governor for screaming threats into a Jewish-owned falafel store in Philadelphia.

"The group marched at the Goldie’s location in Center City chanting: ‘Goldie, Goldie you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.’

"In New York City, another mob tried to shut down businesses the night before while demanding an 'intifada revolution'

"Plus, back in Pennsylvania, UPenn students also called for an 'intifada' here at home at the same time that another mob tried shutting down a Jewish business in Philly.

"And last week, another pro-Hamas mob made sure to make its anti-bigotry known by calling an observer a 'k*ke'.

"A few months ago, these scenes would have been unthinkable. No one doubted that latent anti-Semitism existed on the fringes of both ends of the political spectrum, but this has exploded on the Left into mainstream thought. We have seen an unending stream of anti-Semitism and intimidation of Jews since the early days of the war, and that was bad enough. Now, however, it’s spilling into the streets and taking aim at Jewish businesses and Jewish communities, and all with the same purpose: to marginalize Jews and push them out of public life, just as intended in 1930s Germany.

"And all of this has emerged in just a few weeks. In America.

"It’s time to enforce the law and restore the disincentives to these kinds of mob tactics. Otherwise, get ready for lots of broken glass, and a lot worse, in the days to come."

Sadly right.  I myself predicted another Kristallnacht when the first pro-Hamas, anti-Israel/Jewish mobs first began after October 7. It doesn't look like this violent antisemitism is going to stop any time soon, thanks to political correctness.

The other day I saw this story, which tells you how bad things have gotten:  "Star of David in Westbrook’s holiday light display removed following complaints; Members of the Arab American community were offended by the Jewish symbol in light of the Israel-Hamas war. The star has been replaced with a dreidel."

It's traumatic to be Jewish in this country right now. Yes, it's that pesky 'Islamophobia', all right.
