Telling Admissions From the New York Times About Anti-Semitism
5th November 2018
Paul Mirengoff reads this stuff so you don’t have to.
The leftist media insists that President Trump is encouraging anti-Semitism even though he has never made a statement that fairly can be considered anti-Semitic. It relies in part on untenable inferences from statements by Trump that have nothing to do with Jews, and in part on claims that anti-Semitic incidents have risen since Trump became president.
What does the Times usually say about Trump? ‘Without evidence’?
Bellafante (or is it the police?) tactfully declines to say how many of those apprehended for anti-Semitic hate crimes are Muslims and how many are black. We learn, however, of the Muslim livery driver who jumped out of a car, started beating up a Jew, and yelled “Allah.” And we just learned that person who wrote anti-Semitic graffiti all over a synagogue in Brooklyn is an African-American and Democratic activist.
I don’t think you can blame Trump for the Muslim driver’s assault. The same goes for the Democratic activist, though I suppose it’s possible he thought he was helping his Party by contributing to the narrative that Trumpism causes anti-Semitic incidents.
Imagine that.
