Bari Weiss Quotes

Europe is very good at building memorials for dead Jews. It is still learning how to protect the living ones. Vigils honor the dead, but they don't do much for the living. Solidarity does.

It's hard to imagine "Fuck Jews" as being anything other than a statement of anti-Semitism.

No country is immune to criticism, nor should it be. But when that criticism takes the form of singling out just one country, unfairly, bitterly and relentlessly, over and over and over, that’s just wrong—and we all know it.

Under Lenin’s one-party state rule, this took the form of the Yevsektsiya, the Jewish section of the Bolshevik Party, run by—who else?—Jews. It was a perfect solution. The state could ban Judaism and criminalize Zionism, and Lenin could point to the fact of the Jewish section to prove that the Communists were actually philo-Semitic. Jews could join—and persecute other Jews—to prove that they were committed members of the party.

It’s ridiculous, and at the same time, here I am writing this essay, doing the same thing. It is nearly impossible, today, to separate engagement from magnification.

YouTube: Psychiatrist facing backlash for saying she 'fantasizes about killing white people' by Fox News On April 6, 2021 Dr. Aruna Khilanani, addressing Yale School of Medicine Child Study Center via “Common Sense with Bari Weiss” said: “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor. … White people are out of their minds and they have been for a long time. … We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility.

When anti-Zionism becomes a normative political position, active anti-Semitism becomes the norm. Because if you believe that Zionism is racism, it follows that Zionists are racists. And everyone knows what should happen to racists.

Harvard-Westlake, one of the top private schools in Los Angeles, recently announced plans for “redesigning the 11th grade US History course from a critical race theory perspective.” A top New York City school, Fieldston, teaches a class called “historicizing whiteness,” and according to journalist Bari Weiss, the school’s physics classes no longer use the term “Newton’s laws,” opting instead for “the three fundamental laws of physics” in order to “decenter whiteness.” At a 2021 conference held by the National Association of Independent Schools, which sets standards for more than 1,600 independent schools in the U.S., participants were told that “failing to explore the intersection of STEM and social justice” constitutes an act of “curriculum violence.
