Woke left’s getting punished under its own rules: Let's not stop now!

 

The woke left is finally getting a taste of its own medicine. Let’s hear it for sanity. 

This week saw three unhinged antisemites removed from their cushy gigs over ugly remarks made about Israel. 

One was a Beverly Hills radiologist, Andrew Thierry, who posted on X that “Zionists” are “genicidal, demonic, greedy, pedophilic r—–s.” (Try spellcheck next time, Doc.)

“Zionists” is the preferred lefty code word for Jews.

Another was a Citigroup banker, Nozima Husainova, who shared a post on Instagram spreading the lie that Israel destroyed the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, and added a note that read: “No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of all of them.” She even included a smiley emoji.

Then there’s a Department of Homeland Security employee, Nejwa Ali, who worked on asylum issues for the agency. She celebrated and justified the Hamas atrocities on Instagram with art and emojis.

All three were ousted this week. (Ali, insanely, is a former PLO staffer; she clearly should never have been hired in the first place.) 

All three have been treated as their political comrades customarily treat others: with online vitriol leading to severe economic punishments. 

The same thing happened when an NYU Law student blamed Israel for the Hamas atrocities: Ryna Workman lost a job offer from Winston & Strawn. The firm Davis Polk has reported three more such moves over similar statements. 

And hedge funders Bill Ackman and Ken Griffin have declared Harvard’s publicly jubilant antisemites unhirable.

They may cry that this is unfair, but this is the cancel-culture world they created.

Remember Emmanuel Cafferty, the Latino power company worker whom BLM crazies got fired over an imaginary racist gesture he made? (The man was, in fact, cracking his knuckles.) 

Or Joshua Katz, the professor of classics at Princeton booted from his tenured job for merely daring to question the DEI policies some colleagues demanded? 

The shoe’s on the other foot now, as some of America seems to be waking up from its fever dreams. 

Here’s hoping more people get hip to the fact that these attitudes — Jew-hatred, “decolonization” and all the rest — are nothing new. And not acceptable.

They’re the fruits of the long leftist march through our institutions. 

And while it’s good that some of the vilest are now withering in daylight, many more people with the same beliefs still hold places of real power across government, media and the academy.

Until they’re all gone, nothing will change.
