A “frothing anti-Semite?” First, at least one of the billionaires Bilek has named is not Jewish; second, she has said she always has thought of them as simply powerful white men, and it never even occurred to her that they were Jewish. She’s in no way a “frothing anti-Semite;” this is a spurious charge invented by her critics. Has it occurred to you that calling someone anti-Semitic for criticizing a Jewish person for any reason is anti-Semitic? It’s extremely coddling- benevolent racism- and also assumes that the person is thinking about another person’s Jewishness when criticizing them for something unrelated, which only serves to reveal that the accuser was the one thinking of the person’s Jewishness.
What a libelous ad hominem to shoehorn in at the end of your “bioethics” apologism there. Sheesh.
Couldn't have said it half as well myself. Also, I thought that the ability to make money is hugely respected in the US? As a credit to whoever it's made by.
Also puzzled by the idea that Jennifer Bilek is in any way anti-Semitic: as there's no hint of it in any of her writing, as an environmental activist deplatformed by transactivists she suspected of a hidden agenda that might be bigger than its ostensible civil rights campaign. It's hardly of her own choosing where the money trail led to.
And (being one myself for 35 years) environmental activists tend to pay little attention to race or racism except as a social justice issue: with poor, brown & other ethnic peoples most likely to be affected by the siting of polluting and heavy extractive industries. Libellous statements need evidence or should not be made.
Way to discredit yourself there at the end.
