Remember back during the George Floyd days when black reporters at The New York Times claimed they felt unsafe at work because the paper published an op-ed calling for the United States military to crush all of the protests that ensued? And remember when this prompted conservatives to mock those reporters, stating things like: “Journalism is not about creating safe spaces?” Well, now the tables have turned.
Ever since Israel started responding to the October 7 Hamas attack with calls for genocide against the entire Palestinian territory of Gaza, much of the world is reeling with outrage, which is apparently making some Jewish journalists on the right claim they no longer feel safe at work – and conservative Zionists everywhere are suddenly now in favor of safe spaces.
“I’m a Jew at ‘The Guardian.’ I Don’t Feel Safe at Work,” reads one headline.
“Jewish Students Feel Unsafe on College Campuses,” reads another.
The shoe is basically now on the other foot once Israel became the subject matter of protests rather than George Floyd. And as usual, both issues are being split between conservatives and liberals to stoke the flames of civil war and societal chaos.
“Conservatives pushing this ‘safety’ rhetoric – which isn’t due to violence but words – should either apologize to the minority groups they mocked all these years, or realize they’re suddenly endorsing such flamboyant victim narratives because a group they like is claiming it,” says journalist Glenn Greenwald about the matter.
“And yes, yes, I know: you think the difference is the views you want censored and people cancelled for are genuinely bigoted, while your views aren’t.”
(Related: Hundreds of American citizens are still trapped in Gaza, and nobody in the Biden regime seems at all concerned about bringing any of them back home.)
Just the other day, this writer heard a clip of something from a conservative Christian talk show in which the host tried to claim that there is a “rise in antisemitism,” and that it “is not the Irish who are being targeted,” or any other such white-skinned group: just Jews.
His implication was that Jews are the only group of people being “persecuted” right now, and that nobody else in American society is facing such persecution: are you kidding me?
Anyone who has been reading Natural News for the past several years is well aware of what American society, or at least American media, thinks about white people. Just turn on the boob tube and check out all the commercials – see if you can find even one white man who is not obese and emasculated, if there is even any white man to be found at all.
Oh, but now that everyone is upset that Israel is trying to commit genocide against an entire people group, the Palestinians, suddenly it is Jews who are the victims of persecution and they say they feel “unsafe” because of all the criticism. Meanwhile, everyone else in American society is privileged, we are told – get real.
“Claiming the only marginalized and vulnerable group in the U.S. are American Jews is … untenable,” Greenwald notes.
“Absolutely pathetic that (these) frauds … spent years parading as free speech warriors – mocking college students who urged protection from views they find threatening – only to now exploit this war, that is not even an American war! (?), to seize broad censorship powers.”
