Jewish-American Media Women All in Competition for the Biggest Victim...

Sorry ladies, we're pushing back.  Your tribe doesn't outright win the title, because you cry the loudest and are actively seeking even the smallest slights.

Remember, in the black church killings, Christians were killed too.  (Are we better off noting National Holocaust Day with them, or as this writer in WaPo today acknowledges, perhaps the state mandates in places like Florida studying the topic, have not accomplished their legislative goal...):

Unfortunately, as critical as teaching about the Holocaust is, it’s not the same as teaching about antisemitism. Instead, people mostly seem to think that antisemitism consists exclusively of the murders of 6 million Jews. Anything short of that is all in our heads. The feel-good stories people tell themselves about dead Jews make it easy to dismiss the here-and-now targeting of live ones.

The FBI eventually walked back its clumsy statement that the Texas attack was “not specifically related to the Jewish community.” But a reporter who spoke to two dozen residents of the synagogue’s neighborhood found they unanimously agreed. In fact, they were convinced their church down the street was equally at risk. “If it happens over there, it could happen over here, too,” one churchgoer said.

Clueless comments such as these reveal the warped funhouse American Jews now live in. After synagogue shootings in Pennsylvania and California, a kosher market attack in New Jersey, a Hanukkah attack in Upstate New York, a rabbi’s stabbing in Boston, street attacks in New York City and Los Angeles, and countless other vicious assaults on American Jews, this kind of plausible deniability has become a public ritual.

When Jews talk about how targeted they feel, a predictable series of objections greet them: “My church has security guards, too.” (Sure, except your denomination probably doesn’t need its own security training program.) 

Maybe because more of our peoples are trained policemen and security professionals, sizing up individuals every day on their jobs, the skills transfer?  If you're a churchgoing regular, you likely know who is not, and more importantly, have already been trained to spot erratic behavior.

You begin to wonder if some of these Jewish-America women pundits indeed do NOT want to be told that they are not alone, that their security fears are rightly shared by those Christian churches who have lost worshippers too. 

Remember the Amish schoolgirls who were targeted about a decade or so back?  Separated from the boys, lined up and shot to death?  Do you remember how their religion ultimately reacted?  I don't think they were in a competition to be the biggest victims, let's leave it at that...

(I wonder what women like the author here would write about if she were free to embrace any identity and drop the perpetual victim pose?  All this talk of Civil War today, coming from Justice Breyer too!, it's sad what people will resort to when the party realizes how badly they are losing.  Gird those loins, all people of good will.  Cries of racism, bigotry and discrimination will wail loudly before they fall silent.)
