Most excellent piece. Insightful, beautifully written and with just the right amount of FU to the empty-headed demi-wits. Am Israel Chai baby 😎🇮🇱

It is exhausting: the lying, the stupidity, the irrationality.... the waste, the hopelessness, the futility and the erosion of a possible future for all the peoples of the Middle East. The future of all the children has diminished or worse, been eradicated. The only "voice in the wilderness" is apparently a Jewish voice (which sounds Talmudic). I have no doubt that as a people, we will survive, dignity in tact .... but I do not hold hope for the remainder of the many tribes: they are a people without vision unable to process the ability to construct; they are only able to destruct.

For #1 - "It's not antisemitic to criticize Israel" - I agreed with this statement in theory but in practice, the people who are saying it do not know the history of the conflict in the Middle East and are not qualified to make it. And there are SO MANY of those people.

Yet another, brilliant piece. I must say that I have never been able to see a difference between anti semitism and anti Zionism. It is simply splitting hairs and is an excuse and a nonsense!

Very well written. I would also like to point out that all these anti-zionist, antisemitic people, whether they are muslim or otherwise, are also not indigenous to the US or Western Europe... but they are there and shouting their lungs out! Please let them go!

In the case of so-called Jewish and Muslim co-existence, prior to 1948, the Farhud, which occurred in Iraq in 1941, attacked and murdered its indigenous Jewish population which eventually led to mass refugee emigration in 1950-51, when the opportunity to escape this historical violence presented itself.

Such Jewish refugees left their properties, bank accounts and businesses behind and departed without passports. It should be noted that the Jewish population in Iraq predates the Muslim invasion of this region. Conservatively speaking, the pre-1948 Jewish population in Iraq was estimated to be 130,000 souls. With regards to Muslim peaceful co-existence with Iraqi Christians, what happened to the over 1 million Christians after 2003 that used to reside in that country? These historical facts demonstrate that active ethnic cleansing was practised against the Jews and Christians in this region and don't correlate with the alleged accusations against Israel. Those people who are concerned about Middle Eastern refugees and ethnic cleansing should also look at the bigger picture instead of focusing on Israel alone. This is anti-semitism.

If you hate, really hate, anyone, you're a scum bag. Plain, to the point, take it or leave it.

Great article! Thanks so much for this. The comparison I like to make is as follows...

Saying 'I don't hate Jews - I just hate Zionism' is like saying 'I don't hate women - I just hate feminism'. So, you're cool with Jews and women as long as they don't expect to have any rights.

You don't need to define yourself as a 'Zionist' or a 'feminist' to understand the importance of these concepts for the safety of the groups they represent.

It’s Halloween for anti-semites.

I can’t share that because of your nonsense on China. My friend just travelled more than 7000 km by bicycle through China. He encountered different Muslim communities, which live in peace, unbothered by their administration. However, those are not terrorists and they are not seditious. You sound similar to the pro palestine crowd, voicing a trendy opinion not based on facts.

Aww Dan look at you changing the nature of your reply once I pointed out some facts that made you look bad! Did you read the article? I’m petty when people deserve it.

And yes, diminishing and inverting the Holocaust to serve the creepy illogical points of an antisemite bothers me.

Since you love a good all lives matter moment, let’s take this moment to agree that hating anyone for their backgrounds that they can’t help is odious. Kind of like how you perpetuate hateful, actual Nazi values by diminishing and weaponizing the Holocaust to perpetuate Jew-hatred and draw equivalency between the experiences of Jews and Palestinians in the context of literal Nazism.

Would you like to now lecture us about how Palestinians are semites too and therefore antisemitism doesn’t exist 🤡🤡🤡

I don’t need to rely on what the mufti did last century because his grandchildren did the same thing but even more barbaric and rife with mass rape on October 7th!

Nazism uniquely rounded up and murdered 6 million Jews. You can identify hatred as universally “wrong” without needing to employ the precise terminology and phenomenon that uniquely devastated HALF of the world’s Jewry.

Hatred may be a universally wrong and sad reality of human existence, but not all causes or roots of hatred are the same— they can each have complex and nuanced historical evolutions and manifestations and trajectories.

In your own extremely dumb examples, the Japanese (like the Germans) did a lot to learn from their behavior and change course after suffering and inflicting devastating losses of civilian life. In America too, we learn about how wrong Japanese internment was, and include it in our historical curriculum.

None of this actually matters however because you are an ignorant goy who commented on a post about anti-Zionism and antisemitism to detail the conversation by drawing parallels between the experiences of Jews in the Holocaust with Palestinians, and then adding fuel to ignorant fire you suggest that clinging to the unique and extant devastation of the Holocaust is self victimizing by tokenizing one Jewish/israeli voice… I’m not being petty, this is my generous and kind and well intentioned self speaking when I tell you that you are a bigot and a clown. And at the risk of “undermining” my argument in the eyes of a random foolish nobody, I think you should kindly f*** off 🤡😉
