Earlier this month, Louis Farrakhan, denying that he hated Jews, told an audience at a Catholic Church in Chicago that he was “here to separate the good Jews from the satanic Jews.”
If that seems peculiar, consider the likes of Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, who vilifies George Soros in classic anti-Semitic fashion even as he makes trips to the Western Wall and embraces Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Or Jeremy Corbyn and others on the left, who denounce Zionism as racism even as they foreswear anti-Semitism and valorize the Jews who support them.
Not that there’s anything new under this sun.
