“The rest of us have to manufacture concepts such as ‘Islamophobia’ to get attention.”
New York, January 8 – American social justice activists voiced annoyance again today at members of the Hebrew persuasion for claiming all the compelling roles of victim for themselves by getting shot and stabbed to death, while other minorities must settle for being the targets of mere epithets, graffiti, or threats.
Prominent progressive and intersectional advocates expressed continued frustration Wednesday at the nerve of Jews to upstage others in victimhood, forcing those without the good fortune of facing thousands of years of genocide, persecution, expulsion, and dehumanizing to settle for types of discrimination that command far less attention in the public consciousness.
On social media, activists decried the Jewish insistence on getting killed or permanently maimed in hate crimes such as the recent stabbings in Monsey, NY, or the shooting in Jersey City last month. “Slumlords of any ethnicity are a far more pernicious danger to black people than any threat to Jews right now,” protested Ben Faulding, who uses the @TheHipsterRebbe tag on Twitter. “Those Jews can’t go around pretending they’re victims when we blacks are the ones confronted by the real hate.”
“When was the last time Jews had their ancestors enslaved?” challenged Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Upon remembering forced labor camps under Nazi and Soviet rule, she added, “OK, bad example, but you get the point. It’s not fair that they get all the sexy victimhood while the rest of us have to manufacture concepts such as ‘Islamophobia’ to get attention.”
Others, as is their wont, drew a direct link to Israel. “The lengths to which Israel and its Zionazi supporters will go to maintain the fiction of Jews as persecuted never ceases to amaze,” declared Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada. “Jews are’t victims. Jews are doing fine, just like through the many hundreds of years that Jews lived under Muslim rule and only faced persecution, extra taxes, blood libels, forced conversion, massacres, pillage, and mass rape. Then they come along and pose as needing protection just because some people did something. Well, that protection threatens other minorities, because there’s no middle ground between giving Jews protection and shooting unarmed inner-city teenagers. It’s either Jews or blacks. No in-between.”
Abunimah predicted negative consequences for continued Jewish insistence on being dead victims. “They’re going to turn the progressive world against them,” he warned. “Do they want us to remain silent while they’re harassed, beaten up, stabbed, and shot? Because that’s what’s going to happen if Jews keep doing this.”
