The left is almost completely run by jews.

In these circles, in my experience, a distaste for Israel has come to be something between an acceptable prejudice and a prerequisite for entry. I don’t mean a critical approach to Israeli policies or to the ham-fisted government currently in charge in this country, but a belief that to some extent the Jews of Israel are a symbol of the world’s ills, particularly those connected to nationalism, militarism, colonialism, and racism—an idea quickly becoming one of the central elements of the “progressive” Western zeitgeist, spreading from the European left to American college campuses and intellectuals, including journalists. In this social group, this sentiment is translated into editorial decisions made by individual reporters and editors covering Israel, and this, in turn, gives such thinking the means of mass self-replication.

There is plenty of dislike for Jews on the left, as any idiot can see. Who founded BDS, for Chrissake? Jeremy Corbyn?

And he’s prime minister is he? No?

Labor walks a fine line by pandering to a significantly muslim base and appeasing their masters, the people who actually control governments, the billionaires.

Progressives always seek to weaken the native traditional culture and morals of all countries. This serves elites who don’t like pesky rules when they are trying to exploit people which is why most of them are progressive. Jews (who are often elites) also don’t like strong traditional cultures because they live in other societies who do not share their values and morals. So traditional morals, other than theirs, are a threat to them, always.

With the Israeli conflict, non-jewish progressives have no cognitive dissonance— jews are colonizing and genociding palestine by mandate of their religion. So they must be stopped.

Many powerful jewish progressives though are conflicted.

Muslims who have been imported by progressives to destroy cultural cohesion in Britain and elswhere, naturally gravitate toward the progressive parties in countries they are seeking to colonize and overthrow. But they are not allies of the same gang of progressives when they are infiltrating their own countries.

People are for whatever is in their own interests generally. But western cultural conservative think that because some jews value traditional jewish culture that they will be traditionalist allies. But they never are. Traditionalist Jews never stand up for traditional European values.

We were talking about the left's distaste for Jews, not Jews distaste for western cultures.

Well clearly its a mixed bag on a handful of issues but in general the left loves jews because jews developed most of the precepts of the progressive movement. The left will never really say “hey jews are fucking over Palestinians in the ME, and also fucking over the workers through Wall Street and fucking over blacks in the justice system; the common thread is jews — therefore we hate jews.” The left never says that because they don’t think that way. They think “Jews are great folks except for this little group here that’s mean to palestinians. “ Therefore, the left does not hate jews, only the ones they perceive as going against progressive values. Jeremy Corbyn probably has a portrait of Marx on his wall. He probably idolizes Trotsky. The anti-semitic charge against the left is a canard imo.

No left = No BDS. Clearly the right was doing jack and shit, and the left went and got their shit organized and started having an effect.

Everyone on the right who dislikes israel has been branded as a nazi domestic terrorist. It is illegal for them to organize anything.
