Federations must remove all vestiges of DEI from their organizations and from the organizations that receive funding - especially day schools. DEI and “progressive” ideologies harm us and our children.
yep but it's still required not jus' by federations but by entire industries! we have fambly in Real Estate an' it's NY-schtate-Mandated they have have ta do the torturous DEI trainin'! Our youngest is just startin' college--same DEI garbage there too (an' sum' other progressive-weird trainin' 'bout sex & drugs that was really purdy outré -- as in totally inappropriate!)... this in-DUCK-trination's gotta stop! --it's (....wait fer it..) quackery!
As a High School teacher in Brooklyn, NY I experienced this first hand. I was definitely taken aback and could not believe how DEI etc. had taken hold. I was vocal in my disagreements. It certainly earned me the least popular colleague award. However, I believe I made an impact on a few and also my students. It was also good to do as others who held my values did not feel alone.I taught my students to question everything and research for themselves. We can all, in our own worlds, fight, fight, fight. We must. They cannot win. It would be a very sick, toxic, and especially dangerous, environment for Jews. We cannot allow that. Thank you for this article. It is very important for Jews to hear this. I encourage everyone to share widely.
This article really helped me frame a great many concepts that I do not fully understand
But this is what really bothers me: how can Jews be treated as anything less than a minority when there are so few of us on the planet? This to me is the rock that all arguments need to stand on and defend.
If we need a North star for any argument for a "Third Way" it should be to point out this hypocrisy of this new Ideological Left: Their mission is to defend minorities yet the group that is the very definition of a minority, the Jew, is undeserving of it.
To me this is clear evidence of what is really going on. The Socialists and the Muslims are in bed together and their number one goal is to use every tool at their disposal to marginalize us and devide us from the inside out
yes and the more I read and learn the more I see how young people have found entree into this alliance as a means for showing their extreme disillusionment with Capitalism. I wonder if we can start reversing this by getting rid of student debt, for starters or have we irrevocably lost the youth? more to be said on this topic for sure!!!
Idk if we've lost the youth. I worry about them. It seems to me that the education system has played a big role starting as far down as elementary school. They are being indoctrinated.
Ironically ve chews don't qualify fer minority "state-us" b/c we are "over-represented" in so many professions! (i.e. we make up the majority in leadership 'er first-seat orchestra positions an' other such). AND with equal irony the poor Arab/Muslims git minority "state-us" (an' state-ship too!) as refugees! (permanent...) as "colonized" as the poor bullied race subject ta the slings/arrows of "IslamOfaux-be-ah"... Next ta Christians they are, of course, the biggest faith-cult in the world... so nope, we don't git minority state-us... PLUS even tho' many of us come in "all shades"--we have white privilege an' do not git the pass "brown people" git on the diverse-shitty ladder... Of course we're a minority tho! (only pointed out when we're told ta simmer down an' zip our lips :-( so the CON-sensless can speak...)
I like to say I quit being liberal when, after 9/11, I saw various student groups of the left blame Israel for the attack. I was afraid the Democrats would eventually embrace anti-Semitism. It does not seem I was wrong.
Looking over these events more things become obvious to me about the state of discourse. I have a naive belief -- which I still maintain even though its becoming more and more obvious to me that this belief is simply naive -- that facts and arguments matter.
They do not.
Contemporary world politics is not a bunch of Rabbis sitting around arguing about the law of Halacha in order to write the Talmud.
Contemporary politics is a sequence of morality games designed to disqualify you and make you shut up when you have something to say.
All this DEI and privilege crap, the credentialism and the appeal to authority. Colonialist theory, Wokism, etc, has one purpose in mind.
To discredit you before you even have a chance to open your mouth.
You can't comment on race because you're white.
You can't comment on sex, because you're a man.
You can't comment on gay issues, because you're straight.
You can't comment on transing children. because you're cis.
You can't comment on masks, because you're not a doctor.
And if you ARE one of those things, they'll find something else.
Maybe "you can't comment on X because you're from a civilized, first world nation."
You can't comment on Y, because you're above the median income level and too wealthy.
It doesn't really matter.
Either you say what they want you to say, or you're not allowed to say anything at all.
First amendment is a joke. The government can't throw you in jail, so they'll ask Facebook or Twitter to ban you instead.
Want a better story about you in the media? Better own one. And it looks like either Jews don't own the media like they claim, or it's the kind of Jews that will cheerfully shove other Jews in the gas chamber in hopes a Nazi SS guard will smile at him for two seconds.
Jews have one ally, and one reliable ally only, and that is G-d.
We must repent and live by his Mizvot. Nothing else matters.
I can’t fault this sentiment. But I would suggest that it’s not leftism that is so objectionable. It’s the chalk-
scraping Jewish Uncle Tomming that attends this leftism that makes your skin crawl, as it does mine.A previous generation of radical leftist Zionists also faced this with regard to Jews in SDS, who embraced Al-Fatah and haughtily held their noses at other supposed noxious iterations of Jewish “privilege “ and “chauvinism.” One such writer memorably stated, “I will support no movement that does not accept my peoples’ struggle. If I must choose between the Jewish cause and a ‘progressive’ anti-Israel SDS, I shall always choose the Jewish cause….
There is still time but the burden of truth is not on the Jewish nationalist; it is on you—you who reject your identity and attempt to evade the inescapable fact that follows you wherever you go.”
This was and is an authentic expression of Jewish pride and Jewish leftism.
Another example with current implications for today was an open letter to the Black Panthers that concluded. “Though you are my enemy, I am not yours. But I would have to be plumb out of my mind to go out of my way to save your ass from the cops. Even if I were a superaltruistic liberal and campaigned among the Jews to support the Panther’s program, I would justifiably be tarred and feathered for giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the Jews. I would rather it were not this way, but it was you who disowned us, not we who betrayed you.”
I suggest, it’s not leftism, but the abject lack of Jewish self-respect among self identified Jewish leftists that gets to you—and me.
Great summary, David. And by the way, what's the deal with the *Jewish* anti-intellectualism we're seeing more often these days? Needle shmeedle. Continue to use your brain, be courageous and realize that no matter what you do, the odds aren't favorable and never were. There's no magic needle mover, and we need a plurality of approaches, not more dogmatism in the disguise of pragmatic solutions. Kudos to FOJ for posting something longer and meatier (and that's coming from a guy who hasn't eaten meat in over 40 years).
"political reaction against DEI certainly seems to have been a factor in securing a second term in the White House for Donald Trump"
It seems old (lefty liberal) habits never die: President Trump has been a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people, witness his powerful efforts against antisemitism on campus and compare with the little done by the Biden administration last year.
I bought and read this book shortly after reading one of Bernstein’s essays several years ago, and have recommended it frequently on various websites and to others who can appreciate its value.
I’m still amazed that Bernstein ever accepted the position of CEO of the “Progressive” JCPA—it didn’t take him long to realize his error and to resign.
The Jewish Council for Publjc Affairs has evolved from liberal snd supportive of Israel to very woke in its views on all issues Mr Bernstein very clearly shows how JCPA and the secular Jewish establishment is more interested in being seen as woke and opposing Trump on all issues than in supporting Jewish values
The wokesters dislike Western civilization for good reasons. There is a loneliness epidemic. There is lack of meaning and community (the two are highly correlated, and I'm guessing lack of community causes lack of meaning, though religious folks might disagree). Much past prosperity is only a dream now for people struggling to pay rent or mortgage. So if we want young people to love western civilization, we must address these things instead of pretending it's all due to a rotten ideology. It's the other way around: the rotten ideology takes hold when life is not so great. Perhaps this is not so much the case for Jihadism, which existed even before Palestinians were oppressed. But it seems to be the case for wokeism.
I was about to say much the same thing. A common theme in Marxist groups, which includes the woke, is to do as much damage to the society as possible, and then to blame those problems on their opposition.
Sociologists think of all possible hypotheses, don't think you're smarter than them. But this one is dead on arrival, because loneliness has been increasing way before wokeness ever existed, as documented by Robert Putnam, and others before him.
Appeal to authority fallacy where you vaguely refer to the authority of other people not present nor cited in order to present your own argument as authoritative. Then present a straw man fallacy and debunk an argument that wasn't made.
Also, Erik, I'm not trying to make a deductive logical argument by citing other scholars. I'm appealing to authorities not because they are authorities and somehow right because of that. I'm appealing to their data and analysis, which you can look at yourself and we can discuss if you have an alternative hypothesis. The only logical argument is that something that happened later can't cause something that started earlier.
I don't feel the need to argue it solely through the meditation of statistics. Sure they are relevant. But factors in what is making people lonely today matter more than what was making people lonely 40 years ago.
The "palestinians" are oppressed by their own terrorist leaders which they chose, and they are imprisoned by their own hatred. They hate Jews more than they love their own children. If and when they ever reject that death cult and choose life and peaceful coexistence with Jews, they will be free and prosper.
Your quotes are not going to change the fact that they feel like they have a common story and identity. And the fact that they are oppressed by their own leaders does not change the fact that they are also oppressed by the IDF, the settlers and the laws. What doesn't follow from this, is that their oppression by Israelis is the cause of their murderousness. It's the other way around: the are oppressed by Israelis because they are murderous.
They were oppressed way before that by the IDF. It's a justified oppression, in order for Israelis to be safe. But the reason for it doesn't change that it is there.
Ask yourself why are muslims killing Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Druze, Yazidis, Alawites etc. What is the provocation for those acts of violence against non-muslims? Are they being oppressed? Hard to make that argument when all of these others are living as minorities under islam. You can see the common denominator in places where there is mass bloodshed like Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Sudan, Bangladesh et al is ISLAM. No, the Israelis are not “oppressing” “palestinians”. They are being terrorized by “palestinians” for the same reason muslims are killing non-muslims in all of those other countries I mentioned. The reason being is that they are not muslims and Israelis refuse to submit to islam, and dare to live as a free, sovereign people in their homeland instead of fleeing or living as dhimmis under islamic rule.
I agree with everything you say up until your denial and blindness to Palestinians being oppressed by the IDF and settlers. I agree tjat Israelis are being terrorized by Palestinians. But your denial of the oppression of Palestinians by Israelis is just counterproductive and disingenuous. It doesn't mean that this oppression should stop. It would be foolish to stop oppressing them as long as they hate Jews and are murderous. But it is just as foolish to deny the oppression is happening. And also, that somtimes non-murderous Palestinians are oppressed as well, because of practicalities.
In arabic the word for Black and slave is the same. The area in Gaza city where Blacks live is called the "Slave quarters", Saudi Arabia outlawed slavery only in the early 1960s and then only because President Kennedy coerced them to. In Africa Moslem Arab communities kidnap and enslave Blacks, murder Christians and yet no one in the West cares.
The aim of Wokeism is the destruction of Western Civilization. Yet, no one dares say the truth.
Obama was not only the first mixed race president he was also the first moslem president. He was a 20 year close friend of Louis Farrakhan and a follower of Rev Wright an anti American, anti white racist and anti semite. Obama gave Iran 120 billion dollars and a U.N. approved agreement to have 10 years in which to build an Atomic bomb. Biden followed up by giving Iran more billions.
The Democratic party has been take over by Islamists and Marxists. God help America when they next win the White House.
I’m wondering why Obama would be black and support slavery. Maybe because the Arabic word for slave is not the same as the word for black, according to Google translate. In fact, the Arabic word for slave is an obvious cognate of the Hebrew word.
MY non Jewish "secular Zionist" friend told me that he read on Tablet that UJA contributed millions to Gaza. And for this benificence what will Jews who support Israel get in return? A denunciation of Oct 7th at long last? As M. Phillips and others have written antiZionism is the default "progressive" position. NOrmalization of z mamdani as a dem socialst progressive future mayor of NYC....aka Jew York City...where a sizable number of Jews will vote for him.....the MId east Studies departments will continue to teach the Quran/and Said Orientalism as holy scripture. The HEbrew Bible can be safely trashed and mocked. So I expect no changes....be nice for more Jews...not less to come around to support for Israel.....no....we get a holes with self importance like anti zionist Jon Stewart whose appeal is to Gen z.
Federations must remove all vestiges of DEI from their organizations and from the organizations that receive funding - especially day schools. DEI and “progressive” ideologies harm us and our children.
Jonathan Tobin in had an article in JNS yesterday about their continued failure in this regard.
yep but it's still required not jus' by federations but by entire industries! we have fambly in Real Estate an' it's NY-schtate-Mandated they have have ta do the torturous DEI trainin'! Our youngest is just startin' college--same DEI garbage there too (an' sum' other progressive-weird trainin' 'bout sex & drugs that was really purdy outré -- as in totally inappropriate!)... this in-DUCK-trination's gotta stop! --it's (....wait fer it..) quackery!

"Palestine" is the tie that binds them against us
You are right. Muslims and socialists (and Marxists) are in bed together. You've heard of the Red Green alliance?
yes and the more I read and learn the more I see how young people have found entree into this alliance as a means for showing their extreme disillusionment with Capitalism.

Yes according to them Israel is the colonizer when actually a case can be made that the Arabs are the colonizers!
sucks when the golem turns around to bite doesn’t it. Taught groups to hate White people and forgot they see you as White as well.
I like to say I quit being liberal when, after 9/11, I saw various student groups of the left blame Israel for the attack. I was afraid the Democrats would eventually embrace anti-Semitism. It does not seem I was wrong.

WOW! Excellent. It is a dangerous game they are playing and you have clearly explained it.
Lefty Jews are, and have always been a plague. That is all.
I can’t fault this sentiment. But I would suggest that it’s not leftism that is so objectionable. It’s the chalk-

Very well put
Classical liberalism is left wing. Only classical liberalism has allowed Jews to thrive in the modern world.
A thoughtful journey of experience and woke rejections that is providing insite for the erasure of Jewish inclusion in American life.
Forgot to thank the writer for spotlighting the amazing David Bernstein, who called out the dangers of DEI for Jews long before most people did.
Thanks!
Great summary, David. And by the way, what's the deal with the *Jewish* anti-intellectualism we're seeing more often these days? Needle shmeedle.

I’m still amazed that Bernstein ever accepted the position of CEO of the “Progressive” JCPA—it didn’t take him long to realize his error and to resign.
An important if imperfect book.
And I grew up thinking that the Jewish people are intelligent 🤔.
It seems that Jews never learn from their own history.
The next Holocaust may well break out, this time, in the US.
Sadly I fear you could be right
The Jewish Council for Publjc Affairs has evolved from liberal snd supportive of Israel to very woke in its views on all issues Mr Bernstein very clearly shows how JCPA and the secular Jewish establishment is more interested in being seen as woke and opposing Trump on all issues than in supporting Jewish values
