Obama, Jews and social justice
I don't get involved in politics but I was sitting drinking my coffee and saw Obama speech to Jews in Florida on a TV screen. So Barak said that “Social Justice is part of Jewish tradition” (paraphrasing from memory). Wait a second. Just because there were hundreds of thousands Jews believing in Communism, is it part of the Jewish tradition? Just because Jewish women were at the forefront of the feminist movement, feminism is part of the Jewish tradition? Rather the opposite is true. Jews were seduced by communism because they hated polarized inequality, a sad staple of industrial and especially Jewish society in Europe. Jews embraced social justice, feminism,, etc for the same reason not because it is a part of the tradition. There is no justice of any sort in Jewish community, there is greed, servility, networking and the rule of the almighty dollar. People who believe in social justice have already emancipated from the confines of the indifference, inequality and indoctrination of the traditional Judaism.
