Pick a Side

The left already did.

I have two rules I live by. When someone shows me who they are, I believe them. And I go with my gut. The times I’ve ignored either one, it’s cost me.

Both rules apply right now. To all of us.

Left-leaning parties across the western hemisphere have a Jew hatred problem. The Democratic Party. Labour in the UK. The Liberals in Canada. The equivalent parties across Australia and beyond. Not every member. Not every voter. However, the faction that does hate Jews isn’t fringe anymore. It’s winning primaries. It’s sitting in parliaments. It’s setting the tone. And leadership is either cheering it on or deciding it’s not worth the fight to push back.

That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s what’s been on display, openly, for anyone paying attention.

Jewish voters who have spent their entire lives aligned with the left keep finding ways to explain it away, contextualize it, wait for the party to correct itself from within. Non-Jewish liberals who consider themselves allies go quiet or make excuses because confronting it means confronting something uncomfortable about the coalition they’re part of.

Meanwhile, the people showing exactly who they are keep doing so. Loudly.
