| What Jew-hate looks like. |
[JPost] - Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan slammed Jews on Tuesday, demanding they be held to a higher standard than others. "I always found it difficult to fathom how a nation of people deeply scarred by a history replete with prejudice, religious persecution and unspeakable violence perpetrated against them would not be empathetic champions of those whose rights and freedoms are still abridged."
Brennan made his comment while posting an op-ed he had written in The New York Times about the Palestinian quest for statehood. In his telling of it, he implied that Jews must have a special empathy for others while non-Jews have no special need to be empathetic.
Brennan has not made similar comments about other victimized people, such as the African American descendants of slaves in the US; nor has he held other countries to a higher standard based on the ethnic and religious origins of their citizens.
When the time is right, John, we'll show your Paleosimian pals how well we learned the lessons of Holocaust. |
