This is a valiant attempt on my part to look at Kanye’s and Dave Chappelle’s recent run-ins with claims that they are antisemitic. My conclusions may surprise you.

J’Accuse! America’s Dreyfus Affair unfolds in Minneapolis

Posted on June 27, 2021 by Bookworm

What happened to Derek Chauvin has disturbing parallels to France’s famed Dreyfus affair 127 years ago. I wrote this essay for American Thinker and was a little disappointed that it didn’t get more traction, so I’m reprinting half of it here. If you like the first half, you can read

Could anti-Semitism have had anything to do with this

Posted on May 22, 2021May 22, 2021 by Bookworm

A brutal, cold-blooded attack on an elderly Good Samaritan may have resulted from stone-cold psychopathy but was there an anti-Semitic angle? Over at Gateway Pundit, I saw a post about a horrific attack against a good Samaritan: Jason Jones, a 72-year-old Missouri man pulled over to help a couple that

Gina Carano Needs To Sue Lucasfilms Into Penury (Updated)

Posted on February 11, 2021February 11, 2021 by Wolf Howling

Gina Carano has been falsely accused of anti-Semitism by her employer, Lucasfilm. She needs to sue the corporation until everyone involved in the decision to fire her is fired and until she is remunerated for the permanent damage to her career. Gina Carano was a former MMA fighter, a Trump-supporting

Soros Throws The Victim Card

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Wolf Howling

George Soros is an evil, atheist megalomaniac, but leftists are accusing those on the right of anti-Semitism if they criticize his toxic, malign influence. Billionaire George Soros is a text-book megalomaniac. To quote from a 2017 post in Chronicles: “It is a sort of a disease when you consider yourself some

Did you know that Rick Steves is an anti-Semite and anti-Zionist?

Posted on March 2, 2020 by Bookworm

I regret that I cannot go back in time and boycott Rick Steves because, back in the day, I watched a lot of his travel videos and bought his products. As long-time readers of my blog know, I am a very well-traveled person. For a decade, every time we went

Thoughts about the current state of the 2020 election

Posted on February 20, 2020February 20, 2020 by Bookworm

Every one of the icky Democrat party candidates is a wannabe tyrant who is not qualified to be president but that doesn’t mean one of them can’t win. I watched the Democrat primary debate and had very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I thought that this collection of despots,

Why I haven’t said anything about Holocaust Remembrance Day

Posted on January 27, 2020 by Bookworm

Holocaust Remembrance Day has become a meaningless ritual that the Western world engages in to cover for its virulent and rising anti-Semitism. I remember the Holocaust every day. It’s written into my DNA. Every morning, when I put on my glasses or creak out of bed on my arthritic knees,

Hanukkah attack shows Jews must learn self-defense

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Bookworm

The Hanukkah attack didn’t arise in a vacuum: World politics and history reminds us that Jews cannot look to others for help but must defend themselves. Ever since World War II, the mantra has been “Never Again.” I hope you notice how carefully wrote that sentence in passive voice, something

Fiddler on the Roof: The Leftist tendency to own the Jewish experience

Posted on November 19, 2019November 19, 2019 by Bookworm

A new movie about the making of Fiddler on the Roof highlights how the Left is making meaningless both anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. (I’m still away from home and from my computer, and am keeping busy helping a friend who had major surgery. I have limited technology and even less

No. 10 Bookworm Podcast — Tlaib, Omar, Israel, and the Times takes on slavery

Posted on August 18, 2019August 18, 2019 by Bookworm

The advent of the internet means that ordinary people like me can loudly criticize Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the Times‘ ridiculous 1619 project. (If you prefer listening to reading, the companion podcast is embedded below, or you can listen to it at Libsyn or at Apple podcasts. I’m trying

Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism are the same thing

Posted on May 1, 2019May 1, 2019 by Bookworm

The only difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism is semantics — the former is simply the latest manifestation of the world’s oldest hatred. [give_form id=”59195″]

Bookworm Beat 4/30/19 — the New York Times Antisemitism illustrated edition

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Bookworm

As the posters in my illustrated edition show, when it comes to New York Times antisemitism, it’s 1933 all over again (plus many other interesting posters).

West Hollywood government sponsors anti-Israel propaganda

Posted on March 28, 2019March 28, 2019 by Bookworm

West Hollywood government cannot censor citizens but it should certainly censor itself from showing a blatantly anti-Semitic film. The First Amendment prevents American governments from censoring citizens, no matter how vile the ideas those citizens may advance. There are some limitations that I won’t discuss here, but (thankfully) free speech in

Leftism, Islam, anti-Semitism, and the Jews

Posted on March 7, 2019April 5, 2019 by Bookworm

Democrats and Muslims have come together with anti-Semitism because it is their ideological destiny — and Leftist Jews are too indoctrinated to see it. One of the fascinating things about the world in which we live is the alliance between Leftists and Muslims. At first glance, it seems as if
