The scam works because anti-Zionism launders old Jew-hatred through modern virtue language: anti-racism, decolonization, human rights, humanitarian concern, and institutional prestige. Then Israel gets blamed for everything — colonialism, police brutality, borders, climate, gender politics, oppression, and every grievance on the activist menu. This is ideological fentanyl. It gives angry people a hit, destroys moral judgment, and leaves liberal democracy weaker. The answer is not endless apology. It is premise testing, exposure, confidence, and confrontation. The West must stop buying misery coated in hate and start defending civilization.
Exactly. On target. Each of these folks can blame us for something else. You didn't think we were that talented or could get in other peoples heads like that. Wow.
Hi Michael, thanks for commenting. How to effectively combat antizionism is to attend one of the free Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) ninety minute trainings available in Canada, USA & Australia. You can find the trainings here https://www.movementagainstantizionism.org/train
I think if you look philosophically, you will find that those who are anti Semitic do agree in many ways. For example, the recent resurgence in anti Semitism is driven by the alliance of the left with followers of Islam. Both groups hate, fear, and try to destroy freedom and individual rights. They are also natural allies in that both are thoroughly collectivist. That is, they deny the value of individual human beings and view people as little zeroes, tiny ciphers, owned by the state which may do with them as the whims of the thugs who rose to the top dictate. There are anti Semites on the right. Not so many but they're there. Examine them carefully, listen to what they say, read what they write (initials such as TC and CO come to mind), they are also malevolent and authoritarian and in the case of CO, conspiracy theory driven. Generally, it's 'wanna be' tyrants who practice anti Semitism since they need a group to point out and vilify to stir up hatred on the part of those they are trying to recruit as followers. The cure for anti Semitism and many if not all of the ills of the modern world is fervent support of freedom and individual rights (FAIR) (including opposition to any form of collectivism). To repeat what I've said before, since Israel is the one country in Middle east in which there is respect for, support for, FAIR, even though I am not Jewish, I say 'Go Israel!'.
Doug, you are correct. And yet, as Adam Louis-Klein, the founder of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) states “Antizionism is not classical antisemitism. It is not the antisemitism of 19th and early 20th century Europe and it uses a distinctive battery of tropes. For this reason, the central task is not to subsume antizionism under older categories, but to name and confront it on its own terms. Antizionism has evolved from earlier forms of anti-Jewish hostility, but it now operates with distinct libels, moral languages, aesthetics, and mechanisms of enforcement that make it analytically and politically legible as a phenomenon in its own right. Treating it as merely “antisemitism in disguise” obscures how it functions in the present—and delays meaningful response.”
Brilliantly written. We in the United States are at a tipping point. Either our country will embrace our Jewish and western inheritance and culture and continue to flourish or our country will destroy itself. I am not hopeful.
In the US we have survived and triumphed over 'socialist dogma' movements, however this time it is different. In the past the socialist movement in the US was not inculcated with hate against Jews, or other minorities. The current crop of socialists (DSA and leftist Democrats) has platforms that are hate filled especially against Jews, but also against religious Christians, successful business people, even Asias who dared to excel through hard work and study. Another factor is in the early part of the 20th century our schools and universities were not steeped in the victimization culture so you didn't have an entire generation of aggrieved and angry youth. What we are seeing is mob behavior on a massive scale and one the media, academia and entertainment are amplifying.
Just when the DSA/DNC "Big Top Tent” party starts to unravel when most of the public start to realize who and what they exactly are … up pops Anti-Zionism again, right on cue.
Nothing quite says “over the target” more than “look at this shiny object over here,” “squirrel,” change the subject….
The myriad of pointed out facts such as “Gays for Palestine” is an oxymoron, to the actual morons, was starting to hit home.
Nothing says “clueless individual" more than listening to someone use the name “Greta Thornburg" in a sentence with any supposed meaning.
And since the obviously emotionally challenged political left is running out of thesaurus words to describe anybody of a conservative point of view, we hear the resurrection of the terms “Zionist”, “anti-zionist”, and “Nazi” being brought back into language utilization regardless of the dialect.
At this immediate point in time the DSA/DNC is having a heck of a time keeping all the Islamists, Gays, Trans, Communists, And 3rd world psedu-intellectuals, let alone the Blacks, Hispanics and Jews under their “Big Top tent”, who they have also been shedding.
Hence the resurrection of a term that was used 50, 70, 85 and 90 years ago to unite the entire Arab community, in fact much of the world, in order to re-focus all feelings of personal inferiority and hate against a single group of people - the Jews in their own Jewish State.
The Jewish people, no matter Ashkenazi or Sephardic, Mizrahi, Ethiopian, and regional groups such as Yemenite Jews, Romaniotes, Italkim and many others…
Have all been kicked out of the big tent.
The new DSA/DNC party has moved far left and staked out its Big Top Tent and said there's only room for the clowns and the monkeys.
🤡🎪🐒
They did this while setting themselves up as their own National Socialist Islamist party. They are now officially declaring themselves to be the true NaSI party of the ‘20s, just shy of their own 100th birthday.
And look who they've already ousted from the party:
Dan Goldman (NY): He lost his primary election on June 23, 2026, for New York's 10th Congressional District to challenger Brad Lander.
And also, Retiring away from it all:
Jerrold Nadler (NY)
Jan Schakowsky (IL)
And the writings on the wall for the rest.
Senators Jacky Rosen (NV) (term ends 2031),
Richard Blumenthal (CT) (term ends 2029),
and Ron Wyden (OR) (term ends 2029) are not on the ballot in 2026, but can they survive the DSA and Islam influx?
The DSA has been trying to attack everyone who doesn't fit their narrative, they have moved the party away from the middle liberal ground, abandoning us to the new Conservative movement. The moderate Conservatives are Not far-anything, just leaning toward conservative platform points.
We don't have to get up and change any of our core values.
We believe that Israel deserves a home and that country is where we call home, for us and for all of our brothers and sisters all over the planet.
We have all been exposed to street thuggery, the open physical violence.
But don't despair. Sing El Malach Rabamim Emet, letting G-d be the true judge. Perform Kriah, fellow avel.
During this period of our Onen, we must remember what comes in November.
Maybe it's time for us to show these NaZIs what Kristallnacht really means - at the voting booth.
Marc, I agree that today feels like a far more virulent form of anti-Jewish hate. It's due to an alliance between progressive left, far right & postcolonial movements, all who are anti-merit, anti-capitalist & against all the freedoms that liberal democracries fought for centuries to develop. Their Soviet, Nazi, Islamist, socialist & simplistic propaganda slogans are amplified by social media bots & AI & repeated by the West's useful idiots who believe their eliminationist ideological methods will not be turned against them. They are wrong. We must use their strategies & today's tech against them, exposing their hatred & bigotry for what it is, before they destroy our freedoms. Education about how to fight effectively is key. Its a civilisational battle.
I like the way Frederick brings together the four P's, all true. What immediately came to mind was another P that was not mentioned, but gives the Jew haters the notion they are being courageous by speaking out about the "Joos," and that is "Protected." Haters falsely point out that Jews are "protected" or they are speaking boldly against those one dare not say anything negative about a certain group, that group being the "Joos." But the reverse is true, we are not Protected in any sense of the word. We are the easiest group to attack, even the identity politics sectionality crowd who rank groups by who is most marginalized, ironically marginalize Jews by listing us as Oppressors when we are the most Oppressed group. Thus we find ourselves marginalized by the hypocrites who ignore statistics across nations showing that although our numbers are small, we consistently rank first among the groups most attacked and vilified.
Why is that the haters will ask. It is because they deserve it, the haters will answer.

I had a dog eared copy of Ruth Wisse's Jews and Power. You are correct in all this. How do Jews counter this?
