Who is the Greater Giu?

While his chief client and bottle-washer cannot seem to stop Tweeting, Rudy Giuliani has problems even with speaking. He opens his mouth, and strange claims emerge. Some of them have been as strange as his online posts claiming to be a former Attorney General of the United States.

Last week, Giuliani lit up the Internet with his claim to be "more of a jew" than George Soros. When questioned on this, Giuliani doubled-down by asserting that he is "more Jewish than half my friends." Of course, this might or might not be so, as it is difficult to assess the claim without any particulars concerning the identity or characteristics of the alleged "friends." I would suppose they are likely growing fewer in number each time Giuliani grants an interview.

If I am following Giuliani's attempt at reasoning, he seems to be suggesting that his personal attacks on George Soros cannot be "anti-Semitic," because Soros is less Jewish than Giuliani himself (i.e., Soros does not conform to Giuliani's concept of a "good Jew"). In the course of this approach, Giuliani seems to be availing himself of the modern "progressive" doctrine of "identity politics," which allows one to sanctimoniously call out people who should be "allies" if only they would properly conform to their assigned "identity." Concurrently, Giuliani seems to be availing himself of the "progressive" postulate that he can "identify" as he pleases for purposes of his public comments, after the fashion of Rachel Dolezal (of course, I mean Nkechi Amare Diallo). Perhaps Giuliani's comments serve to illustrate how these "progressive" principles of "identity" create the potential for logical contradiction. How can people "identify" as they please if they are subject to criticism for failure to conform to an "identity" previously assigned to them or subjectively perceived by others?

Is Giuliani a greater Jew than George Soros, even if he is not a Jew at all? Does Giuliani actually know who (or even where) he is? If you had as many troubles as the president, would you hire this person as your personal legal counsel? Sometimes, our modern, "progressive" world can be a baffling and confusing place.
