The Leftist Jew’s Dangerous Amnesia

There is no spectacle more tragic and infuriating than Jews waving Palestinian flags, chanting for “liberation,” and joining movements that would gladly erase them from the earth. We have seen this suicidal blindness before, and it ended in ashes and smoke.

Before the Holocaust, Germany’s Jews believed that if they just proved their loyalty, they would be accepted. They proudly served in the Kaiser’s army, built universities, composed symphonies, and filled the ranks of Germany’s doctors and lawyers. They believed that success and civility would buy them safety. But it did not matter. When the mob came, their medals, diplomas, and cultural contributions meant nothing. They were shoved into cattle cars, herded into work camps, and murdered in extermination camps.

Today, leftist Jews are repeating the same tragic delusion—but this time with hashtags and Ivy League degrees. From Columbia to London, they chant “From the river to the sea” (like Egypt’s dictator Nasser’s followers who used to chant the same phrase already back in the 1960s) beside Islamists who would never let them live in their utopia. They call Israel a “colonial project,” as if the only Jewish homeland—a refuge carved out of the ashes of Auschwitz—were some imperial sin to repent for.

Now, these same leftist Jews are furious that Donald Trump helped secure the hostages’ release and brought about a ceasefire in Gaza. They cannot stand that peace—or even temporary calm—came without their protests, petitions, and campus tantrums. And so, in their bitterness, they will join the leftist Western mob in its next crusade: denouncing the so-called “occupation” of Gaza. Their outrage must never rest; their cause must always find a villain.

With no more war to scream about, they will invent a new grievance to keep their moral theater alive—this time, turning on Israel itself once again. They will proudly march shoulder to shoulder with those who truly hate them, pretending that moral confusion is virtue.

These self-proclaimed “progressive” Jews believe that by hating Israel loudly enough, they will earn moral credibility and escape the label of “oppressor.” They are trading pride for approval, and truth for applause. They wrap themselves in the language of justice while siding with those who celebrate dead Jews.

Ironically, they think that antisemitism cannot touch them if they shout “Free Palestine” loud enough. But the mobs spray-painting “Zionists not welcome” on synagogues do not care whether you are a Zionist or not. The antisemite does not check your politics—only your blood.

Unlike Jews in 1930s Europe, we have a homeland—a miracle called Israel. It exists so that never again will Jews beg foreign powers for protection. Yet these new leftist Jews spit on that shield, joining forces with those who dream of dismantling it. They forget that the luxury of moral posturing is one our people cannot afford.

The ugly truth is that antisemitism never disappears; it just changes slogans. And when the next global wave of hatred rises—and it is already crashing on our doorsteps—those same “enlightened” Jews will learn what their German forefathers too late understood: no matter how loudly you condemn Israel, they will still come for you.

When that day comes, and it will, only one nation will stand between them and the abyss. Not Berkeley. Not the UN. Not their “Western progressive friends.” Israel.

And by then, it may be too late for the leftist Jews to remember what and why Israel was refounded to prevent.
