Obsequious Jews are easily recognizable – by ear and by sight.
They troll and stroll the streets in outsized blinders.
Trying not to look Jewish, their No. 1 goal every morning is to seamlessly blend into the Gentile population.
At the Jewish Journal, a weekly publication for Jews uncomfortable with Judaism and Jewish life, the editor practices being obsequious as if it were his favorite religion.
He does not just fall for the favorite screeds of anti-Semites.
He brings his arms together and dives in each week as if he were an environmentalist who just discovered the root cause of global climate warming change.
His essay in the present edition is irresistible red meat for teeth-baring anti-Semites.
In thanking pro-Arab, anti-Jewish President Pussycat Obama for eight years of service (when Mr. Obama soared from a middle-class citizen to a multi-millionaire), the immodest editor’s textbook gullibility swiftly converted him into a laughing stock, an embarrassment to the community. Again.
Nothing wrong with partisanship – as long as it is accompanied by minimal awareness, reliably absent from the editor’s childish reflections.
Several observations:
- A month after the most anti-Israel president in history spit into Israel’s eye at the United Nations, the editor thanked Mr. Obama for defending Israel.
- Jerusalem is the only capital in the world without embassies. The editor thanked Mr. Obama for not moving the embassy from Tel Aviv because it would upset the Arab terrorists.
- he editor actually thanked Mr. Obama for the Iran deal that imperils Israel even more.
At bottom, issues that concern Jews who are not ashamed of their heritage, obviously are of no consequence to obsequious Jews.
