Top Democrat Tells Holocaust Survivors To Check Their Privilege
[The Federalist] Democratic Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) defended his colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) by reasoning that she is higher than Jews on the pyramid of intersectionality. In an interview with The Hill on Wednesday, Clyburn trivialized Holocaust survivors when he implied that Omar’s time in a Kenyan refugee camp outweighed the experiences of Jews.

Her experience, Clyburn argued, is much more empirical ‐ and powerful ‐ than that of people who are generations removed from the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps during World War II and the other violent episodes that have marked history.

"I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ’Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ’My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her," Clyburn said. "I’ve talked to her, and I can tell you she is living through a lot of pain."

Clyburn is the third-highest ranking Democrat in the House, who has shared a stage with the notorious anti-semite Louis Farrakhan. According to Clyburn’s logic, it’s OK to hate Jews if you rank higher than them on the hierarchy of victimhood. Omar is a Muslim woman who was born in Somalia and had to flee violence in her country, so Democrats believe her hate speech should be excused, while Holocaust survivors should sit quiet.
Louis Farrakhan might certainly agree with Rep. Clyburn.

#3 Here is an example of what is taking place. It's called MPL (Muslim Personal Law):

"The ANC has institutionalised anti-Semitism. The party's rabid obsession with Israel and embracing of the racist BDS movement & terror organisations will be their undoing. 'Zille is too much in love with the Jewish mafia'."

According to ANC MPL Sharon Davids the DA "fabricated" the Day Zero water crisis in the Western Cape in order to set the scene for the desalination contracts and kickbacks that would follow from the "Jewish mafia". It's a comment that is bizarre and frightening on so many levels.
