A Day’s Worth of Wrong-Speech Cull at the JC

Diversity Macht Frei
November 17, 2017

This is just from the last day in Britain. Apologies given, jobs lost, events cancelled. A typical day at the Jewish Chronicle. Most days, around half of the top stories there will be wrong-speech related. Someone will have said something not entirely positive about Jews and must be hounded from their job/suspended from their party/publicly repudiated by their former associates. Or somewhere a theatre piece, deemed slightly unfavourable to Jews, is being staged and must be stopped. Or a conference critical of Israel is due to be held and pressure must be put on the venue to have it shut down.

It’s really quite a bizarre thing. You don’t see this with other “religions”. If you look at Catholic newspapers, say, you don’t see that half of the stories are about how someone said something negative about Catholics and must therefore be personally destroyed. You don’t have Catholic organisations that rigorously chronicle every single thing anyone has done or said in an entire year that might be considered to have been possibly motivated by anti-Catholic sentiment and then present them all in a report which is used to demand that the government grant Catholics special privileges or clamp down on anti-Catholic bigotry.

Yet somehow the 250,000-odd Jews in Britain are effectively able to decide what a population of 65 million is allowed to publicly say.
