Why do *some* #Corbynistas and left wingers really hate #Jews?
A short thread.
I honestly think some think #Jew = #Tory. Why might that be? We have always placed great emphasis on the mind and education. I am not saying we're more intelligent but when you're always on the run 1/5

you tend to need a skill you can easily take with you. That's why you find lots of Jews who are doctors, lawyers, accountants, songwriters, teachers, politicians and writers. These skills often lead to well-rewarded jobs so we tend to be successful. 2/5
Good earnings and status leads to assumption we're more likely to be Tories. But there's another thing. All that education Jews strongly emphasise and believe in means we tend to be critical, analytical, questioning. This is why dictators hate Jews. They fear being found out. 3/5
A leader who cannot stand to be criticised. A leader who only likes people who adore him. A leader who wants to be worshipped, praised, loved, admired but never, ever, told he might be wrong... what place does such a man have for Jews who love nothing more than an argument? 4/5
In West Wing President Bartlet said he loved smart people who disagreed with him. That's good leadership. Critical friends are often your best allies. But when you're convinced you're absolutely right about absolutely everything... chances are you won't like Jews very much. ENDS.
