Vox Seems Pretty Confused About The Rise In Anti-Jew/Israel Sentiment In Democrat Run Cities

Seriously, what could be causing all the Jew and Israel hatred? It’s a mystery!

Vox lambasted on social media for tweet proclaiming ‘we don’t know why’ anti-Semitism spiked during the Israel-Hamas war

Liberal news outlet Vox News got lambasted on social media over a headline proclaiming that they were mystified about the rise of anti-Semitic attacks during the latest war between Israel and Hamas.

The tweet of the Vox article from Zach Beauchamp read, “Violent anti-Semitism spiked in America during the Israel-Hamas war. And we don’t know why.”

Beauchamp pondered why there seemed to be a rise in violence against Jewish people during the latest war between Israel and Hamas, and claimed that this was a new phenomenon.

“These attacks appear to be linked to the recent flare-up in fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. In some cases, the perpetrators waved Palestinian flags or shouted pro-Palestinian slogans,” he wrote.

Beauchamp also claimed that the Anti-Defamation League was exaggerating their statistics on anti-Semitic violence.

Huh, were waiving flags.

“If only the perpetrators of this violence were carrying signs and flags and screaming at their victims about why they were attacking them, Vox might be able to crack this impenetrable code, figure out this riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma!” joked opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon.

“If you don’t know why, it’s because you don’t want to,” replied Jerusalem Post editor Lahav Harkov.

“I knew which Hamas apologist wrote this before I opened it,” replied David Harsanyi of National Review.

“Because those committing the attacks were already unhinged Jew haters. Gaza just offered them the pretext to go out in the streets and beat up on Jews,” explained Arsen Ostrovsky, a human rights attorney.

Vox says there are three theories

These are isolated incidents and not reflective of any deeper trend.

Except Democrats have shown themselves to be Israel haters, which leads to being a Jew hater.

A second theory is that what we’re seeing right now is, more than anything else, a reflection of an upswing in anti-Semitism that began during the Trump campaign and presidency.

Of course there had to be a Blame Trump component, despite Trump being a huge, bigly supporter of Israel, moving the embassy to Jerusalem and cutting off the flow of money to the Palestinians and their terrorist groups.

Third, it’s possible we’re seeing the beginning of what might be termed the “Europeanization” of American anti-Semitism.

It’s possible this connection is deepening in the United States, that people with anti-Israel views are increasingly more likely to blame American Jews for what they see as Israeli wrongdoing and are more likely to inflict physical violence upon them as a result.

So, what could be causing this? It’s a total mystery why the vast majority of attacks have occurred in Democratic Party run cities chock full of Democratic voters, ones like NYC and San Francisco. The Democratic Party has long been a hotbed of anti-Israel sentiment, including the whole BDS (boycott, divest, sanctions) movement, while failing to provide even a tiny bit of condemnation for the Palestinians and their terrorist groups which intentionally attack civilians in Israel. They take the sides of those who have stated goals to wipe Israel from the map. You have elected officials, such as AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and others taking the side of the Palestinians 100%, with zero condemnation of Hamas and Palestinians.

There are almost no elected Democrats who are supporting Israel. Newspapers, run by Democrats, tend to highlight any wrongdoing by Israel, and will make it up if necessary, while rarely touching on what Palestinians and their terrorist groups were doing. Heck, remember the AP had offices in the building run by Hamas.

At least in this century, this goes back to all the college kids who did their little pro-Palestinian protests, many of which were highlighted by Zombietime (such as this one), with the kids running around in Intifada keffiyehs, which are about killing Jews and destroying Israel. The unhinged, insane level of Israel hatred turns into hatred of Jews. Which turns into attacks on Jews. These college kids are adults now, and their hatred spreads. Obama’s attempts to push a two state solution, treating Netanyahu with disrespect. That did not help. It’s just part and parcel of the Democratic Party to be anti-Israel, which is now being Jew hatred.
