Yep, anti-Zionism is the latest mutation of antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is cool with young people, Hollywood celebrities Academia, the Democratic Party, and on the broader left and to an extent, the right. It has found acceptance in mainstream society and elite circles. Folks like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders, Hasan Piker, Nick Fuentes, Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, MTG, Lorde, Jenna Ortega, CM Punk, Steve Kerr, Kanye West, Kyrie Irving, and many others have whether they know it or not, helped make antisemitism hip and chick. Social media doesn’t help with all the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel propaganda that it spreads rapidly to people all over the world. It’s time to for people to stop conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Zionism. Criticism of Israeli government policy is not antisemitic in the least. But saying Israel has no right to exist is definitely antisemitic. This is a point that needs to be understood better by the western public. They also need to understand that hating Israel and calling it an apartheid state, accusing it of genocide and ethnic cleansing and calling Gaza an open-air prison will NOT free Palestine!
The key to Palestinian liberation is peace with Israel. Boycotts, divestment, armed resistance, terrorism, and protests will never free Palestine. Peaceful dialogue, a commitment to peace, coexistence and the two-state solution and an independent Palestinian state joining the Abraham Accords with Israel and build strong economic ties, THAT is how you obtain a better future for Palestinians! Zionism and Palestinian liberation are NOT mutually exclusive causes! They can live together side by side in peace. Anti-Zionism has done diddly squat for Palestinians. Accepting Zionism would open the door to peace and prosperity for the Palestinian people. Folks like Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Medhi Hasan, Owen Jones, Kyle Kulinski, Krystal Ball, Ilan Pappe, Norman Finkelstein, Jake Klein, Jimmy Dore, Hasan Piker, Rashid Khalidi, and Dave Smith do not help the Palestinian people at all, they just fan the flames of hate between Israelis and Palestinians. They also enable and assist whether they know it or not, Fatah and their Islamist allies.
All the Hollyweirdos like Billie Elilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Seth Rogen, Mandy Patinkin, Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon, and Gigi and Bella Hadid who support Gaza, aren’t really helping the people of Gaza at all, just fanning the flames of antisemitism. Now more than ever we need to listen to wise voices like Douglas Murray, Melanie Phillips, Daniel Gordis, Noa Tishby, Einat Wilf, Adi Schwartz, Ronen Bergman, Hen Mazzig, Jonathan Greenblatt, Deborah E. Lipstadt, Yoseph Haddad, Loay Alshareef, and the Green Prince Mosab Hassan Yousef. We must also praise righteous gentiles like Dr. Phil, Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York, Kemi Badenoch, Pierre Poilievre, Javier Milei, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and President Donald Trump who stood with Israel right from the beginning.
And this stupid little privileged bitch, Julian Casablancas, with his sub-mediocre, unoriginal band (probably adored by the NYT)—his music, as weak as it is, couldn’t exist without the entire Jewish-American songwriting tradition that preceded his lazy, half-assed band. He shouldn’t be allowed to play our music.
On the topic of Cool. What is cool today will be gone tomorrow. If you keep on with the old fad you become the contemptible. Therefore the "Cool" are always looking to stay ahead. If the feeling of being cool is absent there is an absence of identity. No identity, no character, no purpose, no substance, an empty vessel, a fake. Those attacing themselves to "it", paying it attention, giving it "airtime" is running the same course.
Pft. Casablancas cool? No, he's like 20 years ago - and for only one album... Plus The Strokes were only cool then because of the guitarists - NOT the whiny rich kid lead singer (Casablancas)
Saw them Live in London.
I'm tired of these US celebrities using dog whistle tactics to SELFISHLY make themselves relevant by throwing an entire country and a people under the bus.
His hate stemming from his own ignorance will mark him as an idiot in the pages of true history.
I'm lost in need of translation. Are you using Woody Allen, Lou Reid, Philip Roth , et al as examples of laissez faire Jewish intellectuatti or antisemitic/anti-Zionist Jews? If so, you're correct. They were front runners in making it early glam. Ditto Noam Chomsky,Henry Kissinger,famed economist Murray Rothbard, his pal,Israeli actor Theodore Bickel, Abby Hoffman,cool guys Isaac Asimov,Stanley Kubrick,George Soros,Oliver Stone, Seymour Hirsh, Jeffrey Sachs, Penny Pritzker, Jeffrey Epstein, Les Wexner,Gelman. Carl Sagan,Richard Dreyfus,Jill SteinMadea Benjamin, Ariel Gold, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate,Norm Finkelstein , Ben Cohen, Bernie,Paul Simon, Andy Kaufman, Norman Lear, Jerry Lewis,Howard Horowitz
The "new wave" came with the super cool Obama era BDS. Stephen Sondheim,Mandy Patinkin,Dustin Hoffman,Naomi Klein,Wallace Shawn,Rob Reiner,Sarah Silverman, Naomi Portman,Jon Ben Ami, Joaquin Phoenix, Dustin Moskowitz,Reid Hoffman, Avril Haines, Ella Emhoff,Lynn/Arianna/Nathan D'Rothschild, Michael Moritz,Eric Schmidt
And this "artiste extraordinaire" ... this hero, Steven Spielberg- he's sooooo cool! He's funding the anti-Israel " Free Palestine aka Kapo Kike❤️Hamas" with his profit and royalties from Schindler's List. When "Munich" was released, he was interviewed by Der Spiegel. The journalist was troubled by the film and asked Spielberg whether she misinterpreted the undertones of the movie or was it affording the Palestinian savages moral equivalence with the Israeli Olympic Team?
Spielberg blamed Israel's sadistic treatment of the Palestinians for their "revenge".
Another lauded Jewish anti-Zionist, Holocaust survivor, Hannah Arendt
A small sampling of self hating Jewish chic. What makes it ever so much more kewwwwl is never would anyone suspect they're Jews!
C'mon, tell me truly- Would you ever suspect Woody Allen or Mandy Patinkin of being one of "those people?" of course not!
Hedy Lamarr, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lauren Bacall,Jill St. John, Lorne Greene, Harvey Keitel, Lawrence Harvey- Duhhh, obviously!
I knew Casablancas, the father, not the son. Was he a Jewbie doo hater, too? I was 18 when a scout referred me. He was quite nice, surprisingly.
Maybe I 'm reading too fast but how'd you manage to miss Spielberg's choice for the screenplay for Munich (which I would not go to see) the Angels in America anti Zionist Tony Kushner? Hannah MIndbender of the Emmy award ceremony, who otherwise is a non entity. Ella Emhoff announced she's not a Jew....good. Some of these people who are dead, I've never heard say a word about Israel good or bad. Theodore Bikel? Singing Jewish and Israeli folksongs. You missed Daniel Barenboim, bff of Said patron saint of Palestinianism.
I agree that there can be a recovery. But we Jews need to stand up and lead the way, and we’re not doing that. We need to show up, in person. Think of the Soviet Jewry movement. We need fresh leadership. Any leadership.
50 years ago, this current of Jew hating Jews who for good measure hated Israel were very much around in the "new left" of the SDS and other organizations. So I guess we Jews are plagued with Jews who are either indifferent at best or rabidly hostile....the vile Medea Benjamin for instance. Now we add Mamaloschen Patinkin to the head of the anti Zionist pogrom.
Agreed....I recently sent $ to friends of the IDF......I've met the female warriors in Israel.....beautiful women who are serving in a combat unit that serves the same time as the men......
I despise the enablers of antisemitism & antizionism, and indirectly, the supposedly-privileged upper-class Jews whose "liberal" self-hatred has been explored by so many writers. And who, in hindsight, have been some its enablers... Unless you have John Milton's skills and wisdom, its simply unproductive to indulge in its study and observation, since I believe 1000% in the R'Kahane perspective: _ proactively_ destroy the Evil in the world - BEFORE it comes for you, and anyone not resisting and groveling, as its trying to destroy light/truth/Goodness... And, if you can't be proactive, An appropriate mind-set of readiness + preparedness... I can't imagine carrying a gun (with a CCW of course) into services, or even, asking the Rabbi where to leave a weapon during services, yet... but the times seem to suggest that the hatred and persecution will get worse...
I loathe them more than I do the garden variety antisemites.The self haters lend the necessary legitimacy for this hideous movement to become a form of entertainment. All I hear now is "Well so and so said blah, blah, and he/she/them/it is a Jew".
It has become so tiresome that I no longer feel connected to Judaism.The left is irredeemable, Reform is whiny,tribal and judgmental, the Conservative is clannish and judgmental,the Orthodox are too observant and what's been happening in Israel is despicable. The corruption, traitors,decades of Coup Bibi efforts w/i abetted and funded by US Dem DeepState admins and NGOs,also Israeli NGOs, tech, media, academia,court-in all these years, Bibi ,who I once thought highly of,didNOTHINGwhen he had a very supportive constituency. He's kissed the American regime's ass. Never addressed the saboteurs.. Team Epstein, Team Soros, Team CIA, the POS traitors Ehud Barak, Olmert, Halevi , Golan,Miara-Baharat, Lapid,Gantz.. He screwed over Nobel Laureate
Michael Levitt ,betrayed the Israeli people with the Covid clot shots/boosters/masks/lockdowns that were unnecessary,unsafe and contra Israeli law. No forced experimental "vaccines".And he gave Jewish blood samples to Bourla for "research".
The FIDF is the best where we may in our 'cloaks of invisibility' stand beside the greatest warriors from the bitterest edges of the diaspora. You sre a blessing in this world, know that you are✍🏻RL for ISRAEL.
Hatred, Racism, the ‘Other’, and Projection. Four psychologies. Human nature never changes.
Aint that the truth. Truth that post modernists vehemently deny. Give me Thomas Sowell any day over a progressive Jew from the UWS
Thomas Sowell is a great and wise man. It will be a sad day when he passes, but at least we'll have his words.
AMEN!

Bang on. These shitty talentless creeps use Jew hatred to jump on the popularity bandwagon. Pure narcissistic selfish scum.
The ugliness of vile antisemitism--you absolutely nailed it. But we Jews will not be broken...ever.

My humble opinion on what I witness.

YES.
great article and a very good explanation of the shape shifting virus that is our history
What's truly cool and badass is the IDF.
אמת

Thank G-D for ISRAEL'S warriors.
Agreed....I recently sent $ to friends of the IDF......I've met the female warriors in Israel.....beautiful women who are serving in a combat unit that serves the same time as the men......
And John Fetterman, Marco Rubio, Huckabee, Pastor Hagee, Elise Stefanik Brian Mast, Ron DeSantis, Chip Roy.. Ritchie Torres folded.
What about them?
They're the ones who stand up big time.
Torres started with the two-state stuff and Netanyahu needing to go when Schmuck Schumer did.
Schmuck is the worst of the lot. He used to have a spine. He was the one who voted against the Iran Deal.

Screwed over Trump,too.
Truth can be made to be cool as well…
Like the IDF Women making dancing videos in uniform! Talk about beautiful!
The video of Jewish kids teaching Christian kids traditional Jewish dances. It was the most heart warming, just plain fun, thing we have done!
Children are the answer, together we are strong, we are brave, we are unstoppable.
We are… The Sword of God Militia!
Poor Julian. hope he's doin okay, he seems to be struggling.
Nice piece!
