Peloni: In the article linked below,Jonathan S. Tobin, Editor in Chief of JNS, describes the plight of the pro-Israel base in America as the tide of antisemitism rising in the United States today is seen to be tied to the unwillingness to confront Islamist extremism. The manufactured charge of “Islamophobia” is employed to to suppress criticism of both antisemitic rhetoric as well as the organizations connected to Islamist movements in America, particularly groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR. Tobin correctly calls out the failure of both Republican and Democratic approaches for downplaying these concerns, but notes that the future of the GOP support for Israel will largely depend on whether it can address antisemitism and Islamist influence without cowering behind the Woke standard of political correctness which of course works hand in hand to maximize the effect of the faux charge of “Islamophobia” while defending antisemites for their antisemitism. In recognizing this fact, Tobin continues his analysis by raising the fact that by failing to defend against antisemitism, the Republican both abandon the Jews as well as their standards in facing down Wokism. Defeating the rising tide of antisemitic not only defends Jews against their oppressors, but it simultaneously defends Americans from the demonization and abandonment of those values and standards which define America as well as the movement to make America Great Again.
