We are living in bizarre times where immutable norms, which were once considered sacrosanct, are being violated before our eyes without much contemplation.
A riot is called a peaceful protest, a protest is called an
insurrection, Lincoln is called a racist, and the President of the National
Women's Law Center, Fatima Goss Graves, refuses to define a woman.

Leading this theatre of absurd is the far-left brainwashed woke
mob on social media that hides under the cloak of anonymity and launches
coordinated attacks on those who deviate from their group think.
Calling them 'woke' is a euphemism, it gives the impression that
it is their virtuousness that has gone overboard. What they are really is a
sinister far-left totalitarian cult that shuts down opposing perspectives. They
desire total conformity among the people.
They didn't even spare Hellen Keller, who traveled
the world, raising awareness and
advocating for the rights of people with disabilities. Keller was slammed
by the mob as “just
another, despite disabilities, privileged white person.”
The mob’s most recent target was Holocaust victim Anne Frank. Frank was only a 13-year-old Jewish girl who spent two
harrowing years hiding in her basement trying to elude the Gestapo. Frank
recounted her deeply traumatic experiences living in the Nazi-occupied
Netherlands in her diaries, which is an important historical document related
to the Holocaust. Frank eventually was apprehended by the Nazis and sent to the
concentration camps in Auschwitz where she was murdered at the age of just 15.
Even the coldest of humans would feel compassion for Anne Frank
and the victims of the Holocaust.
But not the woke mob.
Last weekend, a Twitter debate broke out on whether Anne
Frank had “white privilege.”
The Jerusalem Post and TMZ covered the shameful discussion.
One user tweeted the following:
“Anne Frank had ‘white privilege’. Bad things happen to people
with white privilege also but don’t tell the whites that.”
Some users disputed that the Holocaust had even
occurred.
Another user tweeted the following:
“No one is saying the Nazis didn’t target white people, just that white
people can hide behind their whiteness, whereas in Nazi USA Black people cant.
Go tell black people the whites got it hard.”
The discussion emanates from the vile distortion that since most
Jewish people are indistinguishable from Caucasians owing to the color of their
skin, they have ‘white privilege’. This is an attempt to suggest that the
Jewish people who faced genocide in Nazi Germany were lesser victims owing to
their skin color.
There is also an attempt to suggest that the Holocaust was the only
period that the Jewish people suffered, hence they are lesser victims. The
proponents of this theory conveniently ignore the antisemitism that is still
rampant all over the world.
Similar ideas were expressed early this year by co-host
of “The View” Whoopi Goldberg who alleged that Nazis killing Jews
was “white
people doing it to white people.”
Hence Goldberg asserted that the Holocaust wasn’t about race but
instead about “man’s inhumanity to man”. Goldberg was
suspended and ultimately compelled to apologize.
Now for some facts.
Nazi stand for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei i.e.
The National Socialist German Workers' Party. They were socialists who
practiced identity politics and implemented laws based on it.
The Nazis believed in the superiority of the "Aryan Master
Race”. The Nazis considered the Jewish people to be inferior and hence they
were excluded from the master race.
The Nuremberg Race Laws in Nazi Germany deprived the Jewish people
of German citizenship and forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and
"citizens of German or kindred blood”.
This legalized otherization of the Jewish people was among the
early stages that eventually led to the Holocaust where 6 million Jews were
brutally massacred.
To attribute ‘white privilege’ to Anne Frank is an attempt by the
left to downplay the graveness of the Holocaust and indulge in victim blaming
and Holocaust Denial.
This should come as a surprise, the modern left is viciously
antisemitic.
Since they cannot display their bigotry in the open, they resort
to dog whistles. “We do not hate the Jewish people, we just disapprove of
Zionism or the policies of Israel” is what you will hear them say.
Since the days of President Obama, the Democrats have
championed the
Palestinian cause, abandoning the US’s only true ally
and pluralistic democracy in the Middle East, Israel. Some Democrats
have even described Israel as an
“apartheid” state.
The Democrats stay mum when terror-group Hamas fires rockets into
Israel. "The Squad," which includes Palestinian-American Rashida
Talib and Somalian Islamist Ilhan Omar is blatantly
antisemitic and pro-Palestine. They opposed
funding of Israel's Iron Dome. AOC famously ‘wept’ to
apologize for her ‘present’ vote.
Bernie Sanders was
raised Jewish and was once sympathetic toward
Israel. Recently he has expressed support for Palestinian causes, perhaps to
appease the antisemitic Democrat base.
The left frequently compared the US (under Republicans) to Nazi
Germany. This is an abominable trivialization of the darkest chapters in human
history.
It’s not only the left in the US, the left in the UK has been rabidly antisemitic.
Back to the mob attacking Anne Frank.
The disgraceful ‘debate’ was shut down by a few prominent Twitter
accounts.
The American Jewish Council tweeted the following

Israeli-American writer Emily Schrader tweeted the following

Journalist Ben Hartman viewed the debate about Jews having
privilege in context with an email notifying of an FBI warning of a security
threat to the Jewish community in San Antonio.

Israeli activist Hen Mazzig slammed the ‘debate’.

While facts triumphed in this ‘debate’, it is troubling that
discussions such as these keep coming up at regular intervals by Twitter
leftists, that are not only based on blatant falsehood but are also deeply
insensitive to the victims of a genocide.
It is probably a sign of the US education system desperately needs
a revamp.
