America and the epidemic of political correctness
Concerning the Women’s March Association, I just found out how anti-Semitic they were, when they rejected a woman who wanted to join them because she was Jewish. See this article published in The Times of Israel:
Women’s March co-leader Mallory refuses to answer if Israel should exist.
Anti-Semitism, the oldest form of discrimination, dating back 3,000+ years, is a recurring sickness that is akin to acute cretinism. And it is spreading exponentially in America, in universities, and among the so-called liberals. Anti-Semites are as arrogant as they are ignorant. America’s and Europe’s political correctness is sickening and destructive to their own societies.
The Europeans are losing their identity, because they are in denial, inasmuch as they fear their Muslim population. Americans ought to learn from that lesson, lest their civilization disintegrates irremediably. The left and many so-called liberals are becoming too ideological and exclusive. They refuse to listen to other opinions.
They discriminate with the pretext of holding the truth. The same can be said about extremists of all stripe. You’re either pro-Palestinian and against Israel, instead of listening to both sides. The truth is never black or white, it is neither left, right or center, the truth or truths are facts and not ideologically tainted. The press is very
politically correct and often biased. Here I include the NYT, the Washington Post, CNN, as well as Le Monde and Libération in France, the BBC, the Guardian, and the Times in the UK, some of the once prestigious German, Spanish and Italian press. I used to like these newspapers (I read them in five different languages). It is the whole West that is now suffering from the Stockholm syndrome – meaning that the more terror attacks you get, the closer you lean towards the terrorists and excuse, if not condone them. If that isn’t a sickness, tell me what is.
I studied and worked in New York City for quite a few years. New York and Tel Aviv are my two favorite cities, for they are both microcosms of the world, with peoples of all colors and creed intermingling like nowhere else. During my stay in America, I have never felt the tensions that now arise between ethnic groups there. I am not a fan of Donald Trump, but I find the attitude of some of his opponents loathsome, in that they attack Israel ideologically on account of the President’s support of the Jewish State. It is as stupid as if I hated America simply because I don’t approve of its president’s policies.
I now live in Israel and I speak regularly with Israeli Arabs who represent 20% of the population – about two million people. They feel free and most of them are happy in this country, what’s more, they would never wish to settle in a future Palestine or in any Arab country, where women are oppressed, homosexuals condemned or even killed. Christians and other non-Muslim minorities are threatened and murdered in the Middle East, with the exception of Israel. What does that say? Who are the racists, who apply the detestable laws of apartheid?
By the way, Israel is the most racially mixed nation I have ever lived in, after having resided on three other continents. Because here there are Jews of all colors: white, brown, black and Asians. So much said for apartheid. I have witnessed the real apartheid for having traveled to South Africa year after year.
Ill-intentioned people use words without knowing their meaning, they twist history and spread lies all around them. More and more American academics brainwash their students, teaching them the wrong facts and the wrong values of life. People who support Farrakhan ought to be ashamed – well-known writers among them. Have they forgotten how many Jews fought along with African-Americans against racism and for human rights? Remember what the great Martin Luther King or the wonderful Louis Armstrong had to say about their Jewish brethren and about Israel.
Concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and BDS, you can go to my blog in The Times of Israel. How inane are the proponents of BDS! Without Israeli medical and scientific innovations, they wouldn’t be able to use their computers, their cell-phones, and so many other high-tech products. They are so ignorant that, without knowing it, they take drugs and medicine invented by Israeli researchers. Of course, there are problems in Israel, like in any true democracy, but I am witnessing the evolution of an exemplary society, a society admired by countries like India, China, Black Africa, by the majority of Buddhists, etc.
I would advise you to read about the great French-Moroccan freedom fighter Zineb El Rhazoui who worked as a journalist at Charlie Hebdo (you do remember that the best French comics artists were murdered by Islamic terrorists three years ago). She is now fearing for her life in Paris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zineb_El_Rhazoui
Are you aware of the fact that Black Africans are despised by Muslims in general? European-led slavery was a horrendous crime. But why is it that in America, no one ever mentions the Arab slave trade, which is still going on – see Mauritania today and how foreign workers are treated in Muslim countries, they fare no better than prisoners since their passports are usually taken away from them by their employers? For having been born in the Congo and raised in Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa, I know how my African brothers and sisters feel about their former Arab slavers. They are again suffering under the attacks of Islamic terrorists.
You may wish to read my AFRICAN QUATUOR, which is being studied on all continents and especially in African universities by the new generation, the generation which, I hope, will make Africa flourish.
