Ok, so if you’re a Jew, then certain words or phrases can make you a little uncomfortable. And when these words get used, in an offhand, unconscious way, especially by or about government types, then it gets worse. So, just from the last week:
The president* talks about a class of people “infesting” the country.
A radio reporter talks about the head of the Department of Homeland Security “making the trains run on time.”
The president* wants a new branch of the armed forces, which will be “separate but equal.”
Update, OK, I am now in shock. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a press release headlined with Fourteen Words beginning “We Must Secure...”. They’re not even trying to hide it any more.
