Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Jews Prove They Are Not ‘Privileged’ Or ‘Powerful’ By Forcing UK Newspaper To Apologize For Claiming They Are (The Jewish Chronicle) At the behest of powerful Jewish supremacist groups in the U.K., the editor of The Metro newspaper has been forced to issue a formal apology along with a printed a correction after publishing a letter from a reader who implied Jews could not be victims of racism as they were part of the privileged majority: The newspapers Metro Talk page on Tuesday 23rd November featured a letter from a reader named Vytautas in Sheffield that attempted to make the point that the term racism cannot be applied to minorities who make prejudicial statements. The letter read: Racism should not be misconstrued for prejudice this alone does not infringe on the rights of minorities. Racism is an attempt by a privileged majority to undermine the destiny of a minority individual or group it can only be applied by the privileged. What we term racism by minorities is not racism by prejudice, as the minority cannot affect the destiny of the privileged majority. Azeem was deprived of his potential. But what did he take from Jews when he made his prejudicial comments at the age of 19? For racism to exist, there has to be a power imbalance and he had no power. Let us not misconstrue racism with prejudice. The views in the letter seem to espouse a view held by some anti-racism campaigners that minorities cant be guilty of racism. Social media users reacted angrily to the letter with Jews Dont Count author David Baddiel saying on twitter: The idea that Jews are privileged and not a proper minority is at the heart of the Jews Dont Count issue, and swirls at the basis of all the dismissals of the calling-out of antisemitism. Editor of the Metro Ted Young apologised for the letter saying in a tweet: The MetroTalk page is carefully edited with all sorts of views coming in from around the country
Our readers always challenge views that are clearly wrong in the cut and thrust of debate. But In hindsight this should not have made the page. Apologies...... Poster Comment: Saying Jews can't be victims of racism -- a crime against humanity. I have NEVER heard of such a heinous transgression in all my LIFE! How could this newspaper do this? Where is their compassion??? They need to be forced out of business and sent to the gas chamber. It's "UNCONSCIONABLE".

First "smacks of", now "swirls at the basis of". Their very language is a weapon and a psy-op against Western civilization.
That is a good laff. And how about the other newly debuting buzzfraze 'a proper minority'? They're itching to say "A persecuted, donwtrodden minority" but that would be so patently ridiculous as to tip their hand ;-]

Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. 4um
