Whoopi's Whopper

Anyone watching ABC's "The View" yesterday was left shocked by Whoopi Goldberg's latest display of utter ignorance.  Goldberg declared, "The Holocaust isn't about race. . . It's about man's inhumanity to man." 

Even Joy Behar tried to explain to Whoopi that the Nazis saw the Jews as an inferior race.  Another co-host noted that it was about the Nazis "going after Jews and Gypsies."  Goldberg responded, "But these are two groups of white people. You're missing the point."

I have no idea what point Goldberg was trying to make.  The whole conversation started over a dispute about a book in a school library.    

But it was a bizarre demonstration of a phenomenon on the left called "intersectionality."  Ben Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz and others have written about intersectionality and how it forces groupthink on the left, where all issues must align. 

If you care about civil rights and social justice for minorities, according to intersectionality, you must also be pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel.  It is because of intersectionality that Jews often get banned from "gay pride" marches. 

Intersectionality is why the Black Lives Matter organization accuses Israel of "genocide" and supports the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. 

It's why many BLM protesters chant anti-Israel slogans.  It's why radical environmentalists won't work with Jewish groups on voting legislation.  Unless you're an ally of every left-wing cause, you can't be an ally of any left-wing cause.

Many leftists are only interested in anti-Semitism if they can somehow tie it to white supremacy.  If a Muslim storms a synagogue and takes worshippers hostage, there's an immediate effort to downplay any connection to Jews and anti-Semitism. 

Whoopi Goldberg, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will never denounce America's leading anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan, because that would offend the left's intersectionality playground. 

Whoopi has apologized for her comments and will keep her job on "The View."  But her comments were racist, anti-Semitic, disgusting, ignorant and proof of just how sick much of the woke left really is.

Sadly, she's not alone.  Amnesty International is out with another outrageously biased report smearing Israel as an "apartheid state."  The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations blasted the report as a "libelous document" that seeks to "demonize and delegitimize the Jewish and democratic State of Israel."
