Hurrah! Progressives Have Finally Figured Out Why Anti-Semitism Is A Bad Thing!


...and given us a new definition of 'self-absorption' into the bargain.

It is not, though.

The stats following the last census are that Muslims outnumber Jews by about 6:1. (London guesstimate).

Implicit anti-semitism is a positive feature for Khan; he does not have to say anything, he just has emphasize that he is of Muslim origin. He can be as genuine as you like, but every time he even uses the word 'anti-semitism', even to condemn it, that word itself reminds people that his opponent is of a notable Jewish family and has married a Rothschild. Not like Mr Khan.

It is a feature, not a bug.

Census 2011 national ratio:

Identify as Muslim: approx 5%
Identify as Jewish: approx 0.5%

Anti-semitism is an electorally rational strategy in identity politics, particularly with plenty of Jewish idiots who have been feeding this Akita for the last half century.

I have no idea why they have such a reputation for manipulation. Looks more like slapstick suicide to me.
