That’s one of the reasons some people call them the “woke right.”

part of their m.o. is to purposely conflate criticism of them with attempts to “cancel” them or silence them.

which is the main tactic of woke identity politics, and traces back to Marxist DARVO propaganda.

It struck me that they’ve broken a new boundary: Der Sturmer-level propaganda in what is considered a respectable publication.

The same is true of Indians in Africa, Chinese in SEA, Cubans in the Caribbean. Some of the same difficulties are encountered; “clannish, money grubbers, snobs, etc” And, sometimes, violence.

But Jews have about two thousand years’ of hate-generated tactics and accusations to be used against them. It’s different when there’s such a supply to draw from, I suspect.

That being said, why does it light up like kerosene when introduced onto a campus? Is there some need to hate, awaiting only a suggested target? Wny?

Check out Roddie Edmonds, Righteous Among The Nations. I expect he thought he held that honor in trust for a thousand of his closest friends. Guaranteeing you that college degrees–and high school diplomas–were not common among WW II Infantry.

Imagine that happening on a college campus today. Why?

==
I suspect if you carefully question people, you find a variable mix of reasons.
==
The situation during the inter-war period in Poland, Austria, Hungary, and Roumania was noticeably different than other places.
==
Israel as a country and American Jews as a population tend to be abnormally accomplished without a larger matrix doing them any favors. That infuriates some people.

Not that US comments can’t, but with a world wide audience it’s worse.
