The more eagerly the Left embraces Jew-hatred, the more actively it seeks to equate itself with the Jews, in effect to claim that the various components of the Left are the genuine heirs of victimized Jewry of old, rather than the actual Jews, who have turned out to be something of a disappointment.

A case in point: the spread and evolution of symbols used to identify concentration camp inmates. To equate themselves with Jews, homosexualists have adopted the pink triangle, which the Nazis to identify homosexual men, as a contemporary political symbol. Not to be left out, lesbians have adopted the black triangle, even though it was used to identify “anti-social” behavior in general. And, increasing the absurdity, some are now claiming that a burgundy triangle identified “transgendered” prisoners.

Well, wouldn’t you know it, illegal aliens now have their own triangle, a blue one, which the Nazis in some camps used to identify foreign slave laborers or stateless people. The Blue Triangle Network is the sponsor of the “National Day of Solidarity with Muslim, Arab and South Asian Immigrants,” scheduled for this Friday, February 20, with all the usual boilerplate about “first, they came for the communists” and “no one is illegal,” plus all the usual affiliations — the ACLU, the Palestine Solidarity Group, La Resistencia, the National Lawyers Guild, and, my favorite, “Raging Grannies Without Borders.”
