Remember when former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said “’Zionists’ have ‘no sense of irony’”?

I’d argue it is the Jew-haters of the world who don’t get it.

Take USC student Yasmeen Mashayekh who posted some of the vilest things against Jews – while senator in charge of diversity, equity and inclusion at the university.

Those tweets and others of hers have made international news, leading to Mashayekh – who posts as “Globalize the Intifada” – complaining she does not feel safe on campus. More irony.

She has also started a petition: Stop Targeted Abuse and Harassment of Palestinians on Social Media, which includes the charge, among other things:

Palestinians have become targets of vulgar memes, death threats, graphic images, no-fly lists, investigations, just to name a few.

Speaking about vulgar

Clearly Mashayekh doesn’t get irony. Here’s hoping she doesn’t get a job either.
