Nothing is the same anymore. Or is it?

Over one hundred years ago, in 1923, David Lloyd George (1863-1945), Prime Minister of the UK, said:

“Of all the bigotries that savage the human temper, there is none so stupid as the antisemitic.

“In the sight of these fanatics, Jews of today can do nothing right. If they are rich, they are birds of prey. If they are poor, they are vermin. If they are in favor of war, that is because they want to exploit the bloody feuds of Gentiles to their own profit. If they are anxious for peace, they are either instinctive cowards or traitors. If he lives in a strange land, he must be persecuted and pogromed out of it. If he wants to go back to his own, he must be prevented.”

Today, as Jews, we are experiencing an upsurge from the antisemites, the media, the hate-mongers, and tenured university bigots, who publicly vilify and delegitimize diaspora Jews through carefully crafted language, ostensibly using Israel as their tool to inflict hate.

The written word in using language as a means of propaganda is as old as time immemorial. The English language is as fluid as it gets. The definition of words live and breathe and change with the religious climate and culture of the country. Canada........
