The anti-Israel left is losing its mind over Trump's pick of David Friedman as Ambassador to Israel. And it is a thing of beauty.
J Street and the rest of the anti-Israel left is howling because Friedman had called them worse than Kapos or Nazi collaborators. Never mind that J Street and big chunks of the anti-Israel left are funded by an actual Nazi collaborator, George Soros, who described his time there as the most exciting in his life. Or that they're aiding Islamic terrorists who want to wipe out the Jews while preventing Jews from defending themselves, whether it's from Iran, the PLO or Hamas.
But you can't actually call them what they are.
Over at Haaretz, along with the Forward, one of the two great repositories of anti-Israel madness scrawled by people with Jewish last names, David Schraub howls this incomprehensible gibberish.
"The Grotesque anti-Semitic Turn of David Friedman, Trump’s Pick for Israel Ambassador"
Yes, David Friedman, a proud Jew who loves Israel, is anti-Semitic for despising the anti-Semitic left.
"Friedman has called Barack Obama an "anti-Semite" and contended that J Streeters are "far worse than Kapos," Schraub shudders.
"It's a little unnerving that the thing Trump looks for in an Israel ambassador is a propensity to frivolously toss out Nazi comparisons. It's almost like he won't actually be a real friend in the White House," he babbles.
If you can follow the logic there, then Trump's willingness to nominate an ambassador who compares Jewish anti-Israel bigots who collaborate with Islamofascism makes him less than a friend to Israel. By "Israel", Schraub means the corrupt leftist elites trying to destroy Israel while urging American politicians and diplomats to, and I am quoting here, "Rape" Israel, as a Haaretz editor once did.
Then Schraub claims that if comparing Israel to Nazis is anti-Semitic, then comparing anti-Israel lefties who happen to be Jewish to Nazis should also be anti-Semitic and therefore Trump and Friedman are anti-Semites and there will be free glue handed out to everyone in the Haaretz editorial room for a ceremonial glue-eating session.
"Once again, there's an opportunity for Jewish organizations to demonstrate that they're unafraid to call out anti-Semitic rhetoric when it emerges from the right. One does not have to be a J Street member or even a fan to think that comparing them to "Kapos" is grotesque and marginalizing."
No, being a Kapo is grotesque. If J Street doesn't want to be compared to Kapos, maybe it should change its ways.
But to the left loving Jews is anti-Semitic while hating them, as Keith Ellison does, is mainstream. The anti-Israel left has so thoroughly normalized anti-Semitism in its own ranks that it mistakes any condemnation of it for anti-Semitism.
