This follows the line of rhetoric Adam Ruins Everything kickstarted eight years ago - the man who pointed in face of millions and said that if you're not Jewish, you were circumcised for no reason. Now that she's come out in defense of Kanye West's unbelievable statements against Jewish people with an embarrassing strawman argument, it sheds some light on why her argument against circumcision was so devoid of logic and reason. It wasn't an argument that comes from a place of criticism or legitimate research, but from a place of bad faith, conspiratorial bias - that Jews are out to oppress or subject other humans to their traditions, something that calls for 'revolution'. Ironically, Candace's campaign about rejecting a victim narrative relies on the presumption of being oppressed by some entity, like the government, or by Jews, in order to justify "breaking free" of the entity - breaking free of media campaigns, breaking free of circumcision. Candace, in succumbing to baseless group think and hearsay, is no different from her opponents she constantly says are unable to think for themselves. Her defense of the indefensible can be compared to the anti-circumcision lobby's interactions with antisemitism. No matter how flagrant the display, there always seems to be an excuse for antisemitism, and any criticism for anti-circumcision activism is dismissed on so-called "Jewish fragility", a term coined by leaders of the anti-circumcision movement. Like Kanye's position on Jews, the movement against circumcision can only survive while being conflated with valid criticism. We are thankful debacles like Candace's and Kanye's make that more difficult.
