President Obama has spoken about the environment on campuses, and this is the part that caught my attention:
And I say to them, Listen, if you hear somebody using a racial epithet, if you hear somebody who’s anti-Semitic, if you see an injustice, I want you to speak out, and I want you to be firm and clear, and I want you to protect people who many not have voices themselves.
It’s very refreshing to see the President mention anti-Semitism. It has become fashionable amongst the most obnoxious among my fellow progressives to roll eyes and make weird clucking sounds whenever anti-Semitism is mentioned. This is a subject that, at best, gets a yes-butting from people who can wax enthusiastic for hours about any other sort of oppression, including every imaginary one.
Things have gotten to the point where people see a building defaced with a swastika and still can’t squeeze out the word “anti-Semitism.” Let’s hope that Obama’s words, at least, will have an impact.

How do you explain that?

There are people who go into fits whenever they hear words “racism”, “sexism”, “Islamophobia”. Why do you think the words bother them so much?
It’s the same for the freaks who can’t tolerate the word “anti-semitism.”
