After many months of speculation, we have now learned
the name and identity of the perpetrator of the JCC bomb threats. Michael Kaydar,
a Jewish teenage resident of Ashkelon in Southern Israel, has been charged with the crimes. The announcement of the arrest caused
immediate panic in American Jewish circles and, not unexpectedly, the American Alt-Right Nazis
were thrilled to hear that the suspect is a Jew.
Also
not unexpectedly, The Forward, with its intense Ashkenazi Jewish ethnocentrism, published a spate of opinion pieces which expressed great worry about the fact that the Anti-Semite was an Israeli Jew. There was even a
"gradation" of Anti-Semites presented by Peter Beinart in the face of all the Trumpworld malfeasance.
Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner gave herself
the final word on the matter in a discussion that provides absolutely no insight into the matter and only adds to the moral confusion.
To be fair, it has been a really long time since America has experienced such a mass outbreak of Anti-Semitism, and the Liberal Jewish community has been deeply shaken by its re-emergence under Trumpworld domination. We should however note that the ditto-head Trumpjews were quick to say "
I told you so" and
demand an apology from the Liberals. It is interesting to note that
Trump made extraordinary efforts to catch the perpetrator in Israel. It would seem that Trump is not completely unaware of his toxic role in the resurgence of Anti-Semitism in this country.
Comment: Public institutions are devaluing basic human decency in pursuit of attaining basic human decency. There's a pretty clear problem with this strategy. Such behavior is unacceptable coming from men traveling on the subway, and the same goes for the subway bosses who put together this daft campaign.
