Over the past few days I have been astounded by the appalling number of pundits who keep telling me that as a Jew, I have to side with the violent left, over the violent right, as a result of the terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine an idea more ignorant of history.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As someone whose Catholic father-in-law was incarcerated in Mauthausen as a \u201cpolitically incorrigible\u201d enemy of the Third Reich, and whose Jewish father was smuggled out of Russia as a child during a pogrom, allow me to give these folks some advice.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is, that the violent right and the violent left always end up in the same place, and it never ends well for Jews and other minorities.<\/span>
\n Neo-Nazis are scum. Yes, they should have freedom of speech but not freedom from the consequences of their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The murder of Heather Heyer, 32, an innocent counter-protester, when a white supremacist allegedly rammed into the crowd with his car, was terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever was responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If there were accomplices, they should be hunted down without mercy.<\/span>
\n But do not tell me I must therefore side with the violent, left-wing yahoos who clashed with the white supremacists in Charlottesville.<\/span>
\n Do not pretend they were defending Jews, or the freedoms on which America was built.<\/span><\/p>\n

For anyone who thinks the hard, violent left is a friend of the Jewish people, here\u2019s a fun little assignment.<\/span>
\n Next time, let yourself be surrounded by them during one of their riots — anywhere in the world — bring out an Israeli flag and start talking about what a great country Israel is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spare us the drivel, which the liberal chattering classes spout ad nauseam, and which provides intellectual cover for the hard, violent left, that you can criticize Israel without being a Jew hater.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course you can criticize Israel, the occupation and its treatment of the Palestinians and not be a Jew hater.<\/span>
\n Jews do it. Israelis do it. The respected Israeli newspaper Haaretz, does it. For gawd\u2019s sake, so do former heads of the Shin Bet, Israel\u2019s internal security service, the equivalent of the FBI, just as the foreign security service, the Mossad, is similar to the CIA.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not how the hard, violent left constantly demonizes and delegitimizes the Jewish state of Israel, while turning a blind eye to greater human rights abuses all over the world, including, to compare apples to apples, in The Islamic Republic of Iran and The Islamic Republic of Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

As a wise rabbi once said, in the ancient world, where religion ruled, Jew haters portrayed Judaism as the worst religion, including the blood libel that Jews kill Christians to use their blood to make matzah.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the twentieth century, when science ruled, the Nazis set out to prove by \u201cscience\u201d that Jews were a uniquely evil race.<\/span>
\n In our time, where human rights is the dominant paradigm, Jew haters portray Israel, the Jewish state, as the worst violator of human rights, like apartheid South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guess who the most vocal supporters of that view of Israel are today?<\/span>
\n They didn\u2019t have to riot in Charlottesville.<\/span><\/p>\n

They infect our universities and journalism and the chattering classes, and they get way more air time than the neo-Nazis.<\/span>
\n So, side with the hard and violent left over the hard and violent right? Really? Go to hell.<\/span><\/p>\n
