The Strange Reluctance to See Jews as Victims
(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - As those three weak, skeletal, stolen Jews finally tasted freedom after 16 months of bondage in Gaza, it became clear that Hamas is guilty of the very crime it accuses the Jewish state of committing. Famine. The use of hunger as a weapon of war. The infliction of humiliating malnourishment on those judged a lesser people. The Jews are starving us, Hamas cried, when in truth Hamas was starving Jews. Our opinion-forming classes have an instinctual aversion to empathy for Israelis. Jews, alone among minority groups, are ruthlessly deprived of victim status. Those three stricken Jews were stark, gaunt proof of the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas, which were the source of this war that our cultural elites shamelessly blame on Israel. Tell us what you accuse the Jewish state of, and we'll tell you what you are guilty of.
