Some Carmel Residents Yell Antisemitism to Further Their Political Cause

There is nothing quite so offensive to me, as a person born into a Jewish family, then a bunch of non-Jews opportunistically crying “antisemitism” when it suits their cause.
It’s fairly obvious that this local bully collective masquerading as activists have no actual concern over the issue of antisemitism. It is merely a convenient tool for them to shamelessly use against their political and ideological opposites. All they care about is advancing their highly politicized, often hateful agenda, which lately consists largely of clutching at whatever straws they can to remove a school board trustee that they never wanted elected in the first place because he dares to see the world differently than they do.
Sadly, their dubious cause has recently been amplified by an utterly hopeless political candidate, who will receive no free publicity from me, because she, like them, has no positive agenda and seeks only to tear down her opponent. Water seeking its own level.
If these ladies are so concerned about antisemitism in our communities, there are no shortage of organizations to which they can volunteer their time or donate much-needed funds. They’ve clearly demonstrated that you can talk the talk – endlessly. Now try walking the walk for a change. I won’t hold my breath. More likely, we’ll just have to wait for a new month to begin, and a new flavor and outrage to distract them.
