Following my previous post about Code Pink Israel hater and friends-with-terrorists Ariel Gold, I noticed a bit of a lovefest going on between Gold and Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor at the Forward.
My tweet pointing this out in disgust was met with a defiant tweet by Ungar-Sargon, with even more love hearts directed at Gold. Funnily enough, she has now deleted that tweet.
To which I responded:
Yes, you should be really proud of yourself and your friend over here pic.twitter.com/H23WH2wXa9

Ungar-Sargon’s response is one for the ages (but only because I screenshotted it, knowing she would delete it, as she has):
Let’s deconstruct it for a few seconds:
- It was fine for Gold to post this offensive Hitler meme, because…
- Binyamin Netanyahu’s controversial comments that Adolf Hitler had initially only wanted to expel Jews from Europe, but that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini has told him to kill them, is “the greatest act of Holocaust denial of all time”
I’ll also point out that Gold deleted this vile meme, presumably after being criticized for posting it.
I also let Ungar-Sargon know she is in “good” company::
I am really glad u r friends. Maybe Ariel can intro you to her other good friend Basseem Tamimi? pic.twitter.com/3YKsKchykp

Crickets. Followed by this:
Was it something I said?
Among other things, Ungar-Sargon has also been defending Rashida Tlaib’s “dual loyalty” comments, as well as Angela Davis:
Note the photo: Davis with convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh.
So there you have it, folks. Yet another example of how there’s no going back for the Jewish Forward.
