If Jewish leaders won’t stand up to a powerful antisemite, they should be replaced.
Recently hopes were raised that Omar might be held accountable, with newly installed Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pledging to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Among the forces rallying to the antisemite’s side are the Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus, with the latter’s chair Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) saying, “We support Rep. Omar. She’s an effective legislator who deserves to maintain her seat and we’re gonna continue to represent her.” He called the effort to remove her “ridiculous.”
It should not be surprising that far-left congressional factions are rallying behind Omar. What is more disturbing is that prominent Jewish members of Congress have joined them.
This is symptomatic of a larger problem, which is the utter failure of the American Jewish leadership. These are some of the most powerful Jewish politicians in the United States, yet they cannot rouse themselves to oppose the existential threat to American Jews represented by Omar and the movement of which she is the spearhead.
The Jewish politicians defending Omar have been joined by the establishment Jewish organizations, which have proven willfully ineffective at protecting American Jews from antisemitism. This failure is entirely the product of their catamite’s approach to progressive and Muslim antisemitism.
Clearly, the American Jewish establishment has become a decadent overclass. They are, in other words, useless, and the American Jewish community cannot and never has been able to afford useless leaders.
The only hope, then, is that these Jews will begin to speak up and take action. They must make it clear to the establishment that if it does not radicalize and stand up to antisemitism wherever it festers, it will be replaced with those who will.
