http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/01/rick-sanchez-fired-from-c_n_747607.htmlHe said that Jews aren't an oppressed minority like blacks or hispanics. You know what, Jews are NOT an oppressed minority. Jews work hard and get in a position of power from their own hard work. He said that while Jews today are not an oppressed minority he agreed Jews of Stewart's father's generation could definitely relate.
Chaim, what are you objecting to here? You are saying Jews are just like blacks or hispanics in America? That's a load of excrement. Comparing Jews as a minority to blacks/hispanics is ridiculous. It's like saying orientials or indian-asian people are minorities just like blacks/hispanics. He wasn't objecting to the fact that Jews are a minority, he was objecting to the fact that they aren't a "powerless" minority like blacks/hispanics. Really what he is saying is that Jews don't need help from the government like blacks/hispanics. What's wrong with that?
And what's wrong with acknowledging the truth that there are a disproportionate amount of Jews in the front offices of media companies compared to other peoples/minorities? It's not racist, it's the truth. While many are sick and self-hating, they got to their positions through hard work and not welfare/affirmative action. When someone says Jews control the media, Jews should say, "We don't control the media. We're just here because we work harder than you and are smarter. Why don't you cry about it some more?"
Chaim, the media portrays Jews as weak because in America a lot of Jews are like Woody Allen. That's why JTF isn't big and groups like the ADL/Bnai Brith have 10s of millions of dollars to help blacks. The majority are not strong, religious people. I disagree a thousand percent about the media being more against Jews than Christians. If you say anything even remotely anti-Semitic like Sanchez you're gone in a day but you can slander Christians all day and keep your job. If you wanna strawman me and say I said the media protects Jews, go for it. That shows a lot about you. Listen to the whole recording of what Sanchez said. In fact, it shows the self-hating Jewish mindset where the interviewer says Jews support the 9/11 mosque because they fear after the muslims are persecuted, the rest of America(re:
CHRISTIANS) will inevitably come after the Jews next. How insane is that? I guess my bloodlust for religious minorities will not be sated with muslims I'll need to go after the Jews after. So stupid ridiculous.
It's sad that you're so willing to promote Jewish victimhood from one side of your mouth and preach Jewish strength from the other. So what's the appropriate way to combat someone like Sanchez if you think he is anti-Semitic? To fire him and put out a terse goodbye message to the media? Please. I ask this: If Jews are so hated by the media as you say, why does someone like Sanchez or Octavia Nasr(CNN person who tweeted in support of some hezbollah cleric) get fired the second they say something anti-Semitic? Why is that? I'm just asking.
It's sad that people are going after Sanchez when John Stewart gets off scot-free after doing a thousand times more damage to America and Jews in particular with his disgusting anti-American satire. All he does is indoctrinate people with far-left ideology that inevitably leads to anti-Semitism.
