Unless you’re pretty deep in the so-called “Alt-Right” movement, or at least actively monitoring it, you’re probably scratching your head and saying “WHO?” Let me introduce you to someone who, IMHO, rises to the level of Benedict Arnold. On two fronts.
Barbara Spectre is a Jewish woman living in Europe, who – based on the evidence I’ve been able to gather – is on the Left-side of the political spectrum. Given that the spectrum in Europe is shifted significantly leftward from that in the US, that’s certainly putting her on the far-Left in terms of the US scale. Now let me be clear: she is entitled to believe this, even if I would vehemently disagree with her Leftism as contrary to the Judaism I learned. Quoting a great essay, Why Jews Support the Democratic Party, by Evan Sayet (bolding added
Put simply, the more Jewish is the person, the more they reject the policies of the Democrat Party. This should not be the least bit surprising as Modern Liberalism – the dominant ideology of today’s Democrat Party – is the very antithesis of Judaism.
But no, her Leftism – much as I disagree with it as being in contradiction to Judaism – is not why I condemn her. (Side note: too many American Jews identify more as liberals than as Jews, as Evan Sayet noted, which – alas – leads to a conflating of the two.) I condemn her for two specific reasons. Here’s the first.
