Omvänd antisemitism
Detta nedan är saxat ur en artikel, If the Situation Were Reversed skriven av Gideon Levy och publicerad i The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. Länken till artikeln fick jag via en mailinglista.
Att använda den metoden som görs i artikeln gör att budskapet kommer fram mer tydligt. Vända på kuttingen kallar jag det och den metoden brukar jag ofta använda, kanske inte lika framgångsrikt som i denna artikel dock. Jag läste den nu på morgonkröken och jag tyckte artikeln var bra. De paralleller han gör är klockrena.
If a European cabinet minister were to declare, "I don’t want these long-nosed Jews to serve me in restaurants," all of Europe would be up in arms and this would be the minister’s last comment as a minister. Three years ago, our former labor and social affairs minister, Shlomo Benizri, from Shas, stated: "I can’t understand why slanty-eyed types should be the ones to serve me in restaurants." Nothing happened. We are allowed to be racists. And if a European government were to announce that Jews are not permitted to attend Christian schools? The Jewish world would rise up in protest. But when our Education Ministry announces that it will not permit Arabs to attend Jewish schools in Haifa, it’s not considered racism. Only in Israel could this not be labeled racist. The heritage of Golda Meir — it was she who said that after what the Nazis did to us, we can do whatever we want — is now having a late and unfortunate revival.
