[quote=Anonymous]"A sacred circle is drawn around those whom the progressive modern left are prepared to go into battle for, and it seems as if the Jews aren't in it. Why? Well, there are lots of answers. But the basic one, underpinning all others, is that Jews are the only objects of racism who are imagined -by the racists- as both low and high status. Jews are stereotyped, by the racists, in all the same ways that other minorities are -as lying, thieving, dirty, vile, stinking- but also as moneyed, privileged, powerful, and secretly in control of the world. Jews are somehow both sub-human and humanity's secret masters. And it's this racist mythology that's in the air when the left pause before putting Jews into their sacred circle. Because all the people in the sacred circle are oppressed. And if you believe, even a little bit, that Jews are moneyed, privileged, powerful, and secretly in control of the world... well, you can't put them into the sacred circle of the oppressed. Some might even say they belong in the damned circle of the oppressors."
