Are Jewish Students Safe on California Campuses?
More on the assault on traditional American values by the far, far left and the authors point out a policy change in the Department of Justice which apparently denies Jewish students the same legal protections as given to gays, lesbians, Muslims and Latinos. The head of the Office of Civil Rights is Russlynn Ali who, despite having an Islamic last name, appears to be strictly liberal-progressive-socialist as "NA" is listed as her Religion in the biography that I was able to find on-line. (Listing "NA" is an obligatory bow towards "Secularism" which, as we all know, is the religion of the liberal-progressive-socialist crowd that makes up the Obama Regime.)
But Ali's religion really does not matter as much as her commitment to the Civil Rights of all regardless of their skin color, religion or ethnic origin and it appears as if there is now an exception for Jews. Why? We all know that Islam openly sided with the National Socialist Party during WWII and participated in the slaughter of Jews but Ali appears to be a secularist despite the Islamic origins of her family name. So why are one of the most persecuted groups in the last 100 years being given the message that the Office of Civil Rights will not protect them in 2010? Don't they know that liberal Jews donated heavily to, and voted for, Obama? The answer to this question must be, of course, that the Obama Regime considers them to be useful idiots: Good for donations and fund raisers but, as evidenced by the OCR policy shift and the Regime's policy towards Israel, of no significant consequence after the election.
I am reminded of the poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) that expresses his feeling of the inactivity of German intellectuals following the National Socialist Party's rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets. I'm sure you've read or heard of it, if only in part.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
This is what is being accomplished by the Regime's constant demonization of the various sectors of America. Nancy Pelosi demonizes the Tea Party as "un-American." The Regime demonizes and then takes control of two of the three major U.S. car companies. Obama demonizes the health care industry then seizes control of 1/6th of the American economy setting-up a program to socialize medicine in the United States thus destroying the best health care system in the world. Obama is now demonizing Wall Street and, if he has his way, will seize control of the financial sector as well.
Have you ever wondered who will speak-up when they start demonizing you?
