Selective Empathy + Repost: ‘DEI Expert Explains Why Jews Can Be Killed’
I’m reposting this story as an example of how DEI rhetoric can be weaponized against Jews. That doesn’t mean that everyone hired through DEI initiatives is unqualified, or that every DEI principle is wrong. It simply means that the system was twisted to enable harm. DEI has made great efforts to distort, minimize, and even invert the Holocaust, often under the pretense of “contextualizing” oppression and “decentering” European suffering. I’ve written about that phenomenon here: “The Inversion: Holocaust DEI: Denial, (un)Exceptionalism and Inversion.”
Every week this topic comes up one way or another: “People in group X can be assholes.”
It shouldn’t even be a controversial statement, but the prevalence of hyperbole in arguments today has made this qualifier necessary. There are assholes of every color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income level, and any other qualifier you can think of. So yes, there are asshole Jews, Hindus, Christians and Atheists. But I don’t tend to see a ton of Christians or Jews getting scholarships for studies that exaggerate victimhood without engaging with primary sources, historical fact, or deep analysis, nor any of these groups screaming “God is great” as they murder people.
This major player is not the only “Free Palestine” activist trying to justify terrorism at synagogues, the topic of this article. Blatant disregard for Jewish safety is the core of “Free Palestine” rhetoric. It is not right that any group is shielded from scrutiny while others are targeted for existing, praying and succeeding.
The tone of this FrontPageMag article and the comments are more Islamophobic than I would prefer. It paints Muslims as a monolith and blurs the line between legitimate criticism of radical ideologies and blanket hostility toward an entire faith. No group deserves to be treated that way. I am not endorsing the piece, just sharing it.
For a comparison between this movement and another hate group, see my earlier piece, “Westboro Balestinian Church.”
Original article: FrontPageMag – DEI Expert, Top 50 Influential Muslims, Explains Why Jews Can Be Killed in Synagogues I have no affiliation with FrontPageMag or David Horowitz, and I find their general tone overly partisan. I’m sharing this piece purely as another anecdote that DEI is not progressive, not the framing.
DEI Expert, One of the ‘Top 50 Influential Muslims,’ Explains Why Jews Can Be Killed in Synagogues
"Any hate towards said Jews would be valid"
Daniel Greenfield; Oct 5, 2025
Islam is the mask that leftists wear when they attack us. The Left is the mask that Muslims wear when they attack us.
What the last part of that means is that Islamists seek to redefine, normalize and justify every Islamic atrocity using the language of social justice.
After the latest Muslim terrorist attack on Jews, in this case attending a synagogue on Yom Kippur in the UK, Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui , a DEI expert affiliated with Rutgers, who had been named as one of “Top 50 Influential Muslims” and who is “directing one of Canada’s largest government-funded” DEI initiatives at Canada’s colleges decided to open up the Overton Window a bit more by explaining why Muslims have the right to murder Jews praying in synagogues.
“If a pro-Israel Zionist synagogue in the U.K was attacked because of the genocide in Palestine then we shouldn’t be surprised or horrified,” Ghaffar-Siddiqui tweeted. “Firstly, synagogues have been found to not be some benign neutral places of worship. They are known to be used to not only indoctrinate Zionist ideology into young Jews.”
Mayor Carolyn Parrish of Mississauga had previously tweeted out her praise for Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui who just defended murdering Jews in synagogues. News shows have had her on to discuss ‘Islamophobia’.
“Secondly, Zionist Jews have spent 2 years convincing us that ‘Zionism and Judaism are the same’… ethnic cleansing Palestinians is essential to Jewish religious doctrine, Palestine was ‘promised to them by God’, and their ‘divine right on that land’ makes them the only rightful inhabitants.”
“Any hate towards said Jews would be valid,” Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui, a Rutgers University Affiliate Faculty Center for Security, Race and Rights member argued. “We should be expecting more of these kinds of incidences, tbh. The moral world’s patience pressure valve has burst.”
By “incidences”, the professor of Sociology and Criminology at Sheridan College in Ontario means Muslims attacking synagogues which had already been going on.
That concludes with “Israel is fully responsible for any and all hate that will naturally be directed towards Jews worldwide”.
Naturally.
Muslims are responsible for nothing. Their victims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and atheists are responsible for everything done to them. That’s the sole argument Islamic mainstreaming of their genocidal religious war ever make. It’s what all their arguments in defense of their atrocities boil down to.
The next step is to explain why selling non-Muslim children as sex slaves and beheading Christians is actually decolonization and social justice.
