Seems self-evident to me, but if you want a little more elucidation on this topic, do read this. It's one of Solway's most accessible pieces as far as I can see.
Anatomy of antisemitism:“You cannot live among us as Jews,” leading to forced conversions; “You cannot live among us,” leading to mass deportations; and “You cannot live,” leading to genocide, and most recently: “You cannot live in a state of your own.”
Extra gross: The ex-fiance wished “I wouldn’t get the bottom done, but she understood my need to.”

I guess the rule of thumb would be that if a Jew is attacked, it's "free speech" and if a Jew was the perpetrator, then it's assault-or something like that?
Nothing to see here, move along, there are no gays in Iran, etc...

"The really terrible cost of ever-expanding welfarism is measured not in cash, but in the impact welfarism has on working communities, on those who have been made increasingly reliant upon the charity, largesse and therapeutic meddling of the massive and monolithic welfare machine. Relentless financial and therapeutic intervention by the state into poor people's lives has, not surprisingly, had a pretty devastating impact both on social interaction and individual aspiration."
"When people come to be more reliant on the state than they are on each other, community bonds fray and social solidarity falls into disrepair. "
Read it all!
Perhaps one of the reasons why growing numbers of people in the West have food allergies is also because they actually don't have allergies?
I suspect that a large number of people substitute the Cult of My Kishkes for actual religious belief in the Judeo-Christian G-d or any other form of traditional worship.
Their lives are empty, so they reflect inward, and inward again.
Once they have exhausted 95% of the therapists in their cities, and gotten divorced, and waxed their vaginas, pierced their belly buttons, or run off with the secretaries, they discover exquisitely precious food sensitivities, many of which only exist in their narcissistic heads-and then pass along these neurosis to their offspring.
That is not to say that there aren't truly anaphylactic allergies out there-there are.
But it's really impossible to measure how many people have deadly allergies because the only way to know for sure if they are deadly is when people die from them.
I am not very bright, but it seems to me that it would be statistically flawed to extrapolate a truly accurate gauge of anaphylaxis by counting dead people. One cannot project those statistics onto living populations.
Kathy likes to say "if you're so allergic-why aren't you dead"? And that is a totally legitimate question.
I'd like to ask people why on earth they think their goddamned food neurosis are so interesting to talk about.
Shockingly, I am not really interested in what refined sugar, or wheat, or almond extract or lentils does to your bowel movements!!!
I couldn't care less that milk makes you gassy!
Shut up already!
I took PB&J sandwiches to school for many years, and nobody died. Strange.
I also find it very tiresome to have to politely attempt to accommodate food allergies. At home, I can offer a child's friend an alternate-but I am not making alternate meals for anyone.
And frankly, if you have a deadly allergy to anything-you should not be eating in restaurants. You need to be making your own food exclusively and refrain from eating out (as a very good friend of mine with allergies does), or just sipping a cup of tea with the group (as my friend does).
In Israel, children are raised on "Bamba" and as far as I know-nobody has died from it.
If this all makes me sound like a pissy bitch-good.
UPDATE: Here is Kathy's take-applause!!!
Let's just say me and Ska are not sympatico, but I digress!
It's so awesome-it reminds me of the blind taste tests done with wine critics who couldn't tell the difference between types of wines, and if I recall, often couldn't distinguish between red and white wine.
I love the smell of punctured snobbery in the early afternoon!
Added bonus-typical wine snob/critic talk:
"Oh, this wine has a lovely oak undertone mixed with some top notes of vanilla and nutmeg!! The bouquet is fragrant and reminds one of the smell of purple bougainvilleas from Tuscanny in the spring! The afternotes are musky and the tannins are luscious and crisp-with a hint of maple detected!"
In other words: bullshit.
Apparently it is OUTRAGEOUSLY TRANSPHOBIC, or trans-hatey to note in a commercial that transvestites don't get their menstrual period!
Hat tip: Lu.
Angry denizens of menstruating women claim that it was horrible MEN, MEN who don't get their periods who must have come up with such an anti something or other commercial!
OMG. MEN! If yucky MEN did it it is bad and....well-bad! Why?
Because they have penises!
Women with hysterectomies are also apparently hysterical about the fact about the tampon commercial, even though they no longer get their periods.
The estrogen infused masses are weeping today!?!?!
He has had his license renewed, on the condition that he not carry children under the age of 14 in his cab.
This story is pretty outrageous.
Why wouldn't a conviction of sexual assault of a minor preclude someone from having their license renewed?
And why 14 years of age? Are 15 year old girls safe from this convicted predator?
What about 16 year olds?
Would you want your teenaged daughter in a cab with this guy?
Are there any brains left in the city of Toronto? Perhaps all the members of the licensing board who think this is a great idea should be required to send their teenaged daughters alone in a cab with Mr. Choudhry.

To this I would add, just ignore them. You cannot win this battle.
Live well, surround yourself with people who get it and don't waste your breath.
Yet somehow there is spare change around for lefty utopian unicorn-fuel car projects.
Nothing Obama does, no sum that he wastes will ever change the messianic complex about him.
There is still even more damage that can be done.
Iz good!!
I'm tapping my toes to it, not just because it's great, but also because our slum landlords have turned the temperature down in my office and I can't feel my feet or fingertips.
If you haven't checked out the Pundette's Steyny Year in Review, that's also a good plan. It's like doing a short course in Steyn Studies 101.
Let's Get Lost, and Why Fight the Feeling-wow, it's just beautiful. Dorothée Berryman, and her band with her wonderful, confident voice-nothing overdone, stunning vibrato without pretension. Her voice is warm and inviting.
I am loving these arrangement, and the musicians are absolutely great. The piano player has a lovely light touch and the fiddle player is wonderful.
What a treat.
I'm looking for links now.
They are total Jew warriors and badasses.
I love that they are using lawfare to hit back at the jihadi terror pricks and assholes.
But let's not make a mountain out of a mohel hill....
