A Response to Resurgent Antisemitism |
Seth Leibsohn for Salem: With all the resurgent antisemitism breathing its odious stench on us—in precincts both left and right—we do well to remember how un-American and anti-American it all is. George Washington—America’s indispensable man, first in the hearts of his countrymen as children used to be taught—put this to rest long ago. In his letter to a Jewish synagogue in Rhode Island, he wrote that this is a country that “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” It was the first time a civil political leader ever addressed the Jews as his equals. What we’re seeing and hearing today—in all of this politically-based Jew hatred and insinuation—is neither right nor left. It’s just un-American. We should view it as George Washington did. That is: A disgrace, a desecration and an ugly stain on the nation we love(Townhall). |
