Jew-dicial Political Correctness

Daniel Greenfield writes about the latest politically correct excuse: Muslims who kill Jews have a mental illness, they're not Jew-hating anti-semites, and therefore they shouldn't be held accountable.

If anyone is mentally ill, it's these judges, who have just given all anti-semites a license to beat and kill Jews! It gets worse for us every day.

Word of the Year: "Stupid"

From Stephen Kruiser's Morning Briefing:

"Make 'They' Go Away"

"Merriam-Webster just gave the personal pronoun “they” the word of the year title:

Merriam-Webster recently added a new definition to its online dictionary to reflect use of  'they' as relating to a person whose gender identity is nonbinary. In October, the American Psychological Assn. endorsed 'they' as a singular third-person pronoun in its latest style guide for scholarly writing.

Of all of the wokeness that I am not very woke about, the pronoun nonsense probably holds the least hope for me every achieving wokeitude. I am still too much a fan of science to believe that there are 6,000 genders that we can all begin identifying as by age three.

An individual calling himself or herself 'they' it sounds like we’re dealing with multiple personality issues.

He, him. She, her.
We’re done here."

I wish we were done here, but I think this sort of insanity will only get worse as long as everyone caves in.

Speaking of caving in to nonsense, why didn't this restaurant fight back harder instead of closing down?   "The complaints about the eatery had nothing to do with the quality of the food, the prices or the location, however. People were upset because the woman who opened it was white. And that means she was 'appropriating' Asian culture or something."

Lots 'o Links

End this busy week with good reading that includes posts at Maggie's Farm, Larwyn's Linx, Stephen Green's Florida Man Friday, Stephen Kruiser's Morning Briefing, and Harold Ticktin's Yiddish Vinkl, where the word of the day is plonter.

Three Ugly Terror-Related Words

Here are three words & phrases I really prefer not to hear in the same sentence:

* gunman
* Saudi
* flight training

From CNN: "The gunman in a deadly shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida was a second lieutenant in the Saudi Arabian military involved in flight training at the station, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Friday."

This sounds frighteningly familiar. Does September 11 ring a bell? Does Fort Hood?

While the Dems are focused solely on impeachment, wouldn't it be a good time for terrorists to take advantage? If there are more attacks and dry runs toward something bigger, I won't be surprised. Then they can just blame Trump.

"Jews Are Supreme"

Well, thank you!

From The Algemeiner: "JNS.org – American political activist and former Women’s March, Inc. leader Linda Sarsour said during an American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) conference on Nov. 28 that Israel 'is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else.'"

I know one thing for sure. We Jews are definitely supreme to you and all you other antisemites! 

Your lives must be wretched and miserable if your #1 priority is hating Jews and Israel. Go do something constructive rather than destructive, and be quiet already!

Capitalist Heavyweight vs. Socialist Lightweight: K.O. in 2020

Leave it to The People's Cube to comment on that doctored photo of Trump as a chiseled boxer by displaying some alternatives. This is my favorite:

Obscene: Auschwitz Merchandise For Sale

Tasteless, clueless, and incredibly ignorant: these words are just some of the ways you can describe the amoral people who came up with Holocaust-themed Christmas ornaments, beach towels, and other merchandise.  Who at Amazon decided it was okay to sell this stuff? And what kind of people would actually spend money to decorate their tree in this way?

We've heard of these stories before, with everyone feigning surprise and proclaiming their innocence.  It just goes to prove once again that, despite our politically correct environment where everyone is offended by every little thing, we Jews are still always fair game.

Lots 'o Links

Need to read?  Then here are a few links you'll like at Liz Sheld's Morning Greatness; Larwyn's Linx; Maggie's Farm;  the Food Coma Friday edition of Stephen Kruiser's Morning Briefing; and Stephen Green's Florida Man Friday roundup.

And, just to be magnanimous and show I'm not entirely one-sided, here's the Daily Kos!

Yiddish Vinkl: The Queen of Words

Harold Ticktin's latest column concerns the wonderful word nebbish, which means a person who is a loser, and he links to this perfect anecdote: “Yiddish speakers have many words for losers: schlemiel, schnook, schmo, schmegeggie, schlub, pischer, nebbish and putz were just a few of mother’s many ways to dismiss or disapprove of someone, but Nebbish was the queen of words.” (bit.ly/33QKwEh)

Another London Brige Terrorist Attack!

Per the Daily Mail:  "TWO die in London Bridge terror attack: Maniac wielding TWO KNIVES on a stabbing rampage is shot dead by police after hero passers-by wrestle him to ground". I thought they were showing film of the 2017 terrorist attack until I learned this had just happened. CBS said it was a "terrorist incident" in quotes, but we all know what it really was.  As usual, a spokesman spouted the usual warnings about how we shouldn't rush to judgement or overreact.  Please  don't insult our intelligence. By now I think a normal reaction is a lot better than politically correct silence. The old phrase was "If you see something, say something", but now it's more like "Don't say anything about jihadists,"

There was also knife attacks in The Hague, and we'd better hope these are not connected.
