Mass Media Is The Enemy Of The People Like The Cage Is The Enemy Of The Bird

August 24, 2018

Mass Media Is The Enemy Of The People Like The Cage Is The Enemy Of The Bird

The Guardian has just published an actual, non-fictional op-ed that is titled “Is my Jewish three-year-old too young to learn about antisemitism?”, about a concerned mother who is teaching her toddler about the Holocaust in case Jeremy Corbyn becomes Prime Minister.

The Guardian. Not The Onion. The Guardian.

Have we reached Peak Anti-Semitism in the Guardian yet? Hilary Freeman writes a column on teaching her three-year-old about anti-semitism – in case Corbyn ever gets elected https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/23/jewish-young-antisemitism-children-anne-frank …

Is my Jewish three-year-old too young to learn about antisemitism? | Hilary Freeman

I stand by my decision to read her a young children’s version of the Anne Frank story, but some of my friends have objected, says author and freelance journalist Hilary Freeman

theguardian.com

“Perhaps they’re right and it is too soon even for this gentle introduction,” muses Hilary Freeman. “I certainly don’t want to frighten or traumatise my daughter. And yet, in the current climate, with accusations of antisemitism in the Labour party making headline news virtually every day, and a rise in antisemitism all over Europe, this is an issue that is pertinent to her life and to her future, not just a story in a book. Many Jews in the UK are feeling very unsettled.”

I mean, wow. Just… wow. I’m seriously tempted to spend the rest of this article just typing “wow”. I wouldn’t copy-paste it, either. I’d type it all out with punctuation and with feeling.

Surely this is as far as they can take this whole “Corbyn is a secret Nazi” narrative? Surely? How could they possibly take it any further into cartoonish lunacy than this? “Terrified by Tory polling decline, I took my cocker spaniel on a tour of Auschwitz”?
