Words Matter - Unless You're Jewish

I give up:

DEI Top Dogs Warn Intelligence Agencies Not to Use Terms Such as ‘Jihadist’ - by Robert Spencer

"It’s no surprise that people whose life work is to enforce the principles of “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) would have only a glancing acquaintance with the truth. And so it has now come to pass in our green and pleasant land that DEI officials are warning the “intelligence community” that it must not speak accurately about the jihad threat, or even refer to “jihadists” at all. To do so would — you guessed it! — offend Muslims, and with Muslims in the U.S. already enraged at the Biden regime for its ostensible and vanishing support for Israel, we can’t have that. 

"The Daily Wire reported Thursday that “an internal newsletter sent by diversity, equity, and inclusion officials in the Biden administration’s top intelligence agency warns personnel not to use ‘problematic phrases’ when discussing Islamic terrorism.” In this Orwellian age, “problematic phrases” are those that are true and accurate, but are offensive to pressure groups that the regime wishes to court.

"It seems that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence puts out an internal newsletter, appropriately entitled “The Dive,” and that a recent issue “argues in its cover story that the intelligence community needs to focus on ‘changing terminology related to counterterrorism,’ because ‘words matter.’” Yeah, they do. That’s why so much of the Biden regime’s manual for governance, George Orwell’s 1984, is about the manipulation of the language so that the wretched inhabitants of the book’s totalitarian regime aren’t even capable of thinking thoughts that the regime doesn’t want them to think. Old Joe and his henchmen tried to establish an agency for this with their abortive Disinformation Governance Board, and they’re still at it.

"The author of the article in The Dive says that “one of our goals” is “disentangling Islam from words and phrases used to discuss terrorism and extremist violence.” Never mind that it is Islamic jihadis themselves who have explicitly and proudly entangled Islam with “terrorism and extremist violence.” We are forbidden to notice: the article explains that woke DEI operatives are trying to remove “certain phrases to identify international terrorism threats that are hurtful to Muslim-Americans.”

So despite the Muslim Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on September 11; despite the massacre in Israel by Hamas on October; and despite the ISIS attack in Moscow last week, the most important thing is we not hurt Muslims' feelings by referring to these mass murdering terrorists as what they are: Jihadists and Islamic Extremists. 

And that's probably also why, every time you speak out about antisemitism, you are now expected to speak out against so-called "Islamophobia".  I will never do that, as this is simply another phony attempt to equate the two, and to downplay the real scourge of Jew-hatred and Jew-slaughter.
