Julia Gorin, stand-up comic and Jewish World Review contributing editor, has a funny piece in the Wall Street Journal’s Taste page today. She attempts to unravel the mystery of the “Anti-Semitism is Anti-Me” campaign recently launched by the Anti-Defamation League:

I couldn’t help noticing, on a telephone kiosk in midtown Manhattan, a poster of an Asian child admonishing: “Anti-Semitism is anti-me.” My eyes scanned to the bottom of the poster for an explanation. There I read that “anti-Semitism is anti-everybody” and was directed to the Anti-Defamation League’s Web site to help fight anti-Semitism.

Mystified, I tried to think what exactly a poster like this was supposed to mean: Be careful being anti-Semitic; you might accidentally offend an Asian-American if he’s adopted by Jews? Don’t be anti-Semitic because we all come from Adam and Eve so, like, we’re all related?

I walked on and came to another kiosk, this one sporting a white Lutheran minister of androgynous appearance. OK, I thought, perhaps this one makes sense: To a man (or woman) of the cloth, anti-Semitism runs counter to the teachings of the church. Or perhaps this minister used to be a rabbi but converted? Eventually I came upon a third poster: Apparently, anti-Semitism is also anti-Naomi Campbell; for there she was, making the same “anti-me” point.

So now I had a black woman, an Asian child and a gender-vague minister being offended by anti-Semitism…

Update: Speaking of victim campaigns, Cynthia McKinney seems to be resurrecting herself. JWR has the latest analyses here and here.
