This is not only a Jewish issue. It’s a test of whether Western civilization actually believes the things it claims to believe, like equality, fairness, reason, and universal human rights.
It’s time to start calling them Jew haters and to stop using a term coined by 19th century German Jew hater Wilhelm Marr! It’s time to claim who were are, Jews from Judea instead of using a created by gentiles😼
Exactly, our enemies claim they are Semites’ thus they can’t be ‘Anti-Semite’s’. Why are we as Jews letting non-Jews determine what term to use for hatred towards us? We’re Jews from Judea and hatred towards us is pure unadulterated Jew hate, not some nebulous term coined by a 19th century German Jew hater. It’s absurd.
The apocalyptic 2-headed beast that is the Islamo-Leftist alliance has a soft underbelly: the older level of liberals, who are absolute conformist cowards when it comes to standing against the mob (esp when that mob contains their own kids, students and colleagues), but who still profess faith in classic liberalism and things like anti-discrimination, good-faith debate and truth claims, as well as general tolerance of all peoples.
There is no point arguing with the subliterate disciples of the Free Palestine! movement (they are either dupes, Jew haters, or angry lost souls looking to fill their BLM-shaped holes for meaning and purpose)—these people mostly don't know which river or which sea, have only the most simplistic and shallow knowledge about this conflict and its history, and are mostly looking for socially approved ways to express their hatred and have it be laundered as compassion for this fictional entity they've created in their heads, "The Palestinians", who are just noble savages fighting for Justice and Equality against the big bad Jews.
But there are the older liberals who control or manage many colleges, companies, cultural outlets etc who can be shamed into practicing what they preach. These same people who base their social lives on their commitments to Social Justice and compassion for the oppressed can now afford to face some truth: that Israel is not evil, that Jews should not be ostracised for the actions of the Israeli govt (as no one ostracises Chinese or Arabs for their govt deeds), that 10/7 didn't happen because the Gazans DIDN'T have a state but because they DID, and, most especially, that there has been NO GENOCIDE, which takes about 5 mins of calm debate to prove.
These types of people can be reached and can be led gradually to see the Islamo-Leftist alliance for what it really is—a coalition of malevolent liars and haters who want to destroy what they could never build and who crave nothing but total power and who are all either foul Jew haters or apologists for them. Maybe if the ceasefire holds the ideological mania will also recede and once Western liberals awake from their psychosis and its hangover, maybe they will realize that they should be standing with the defenders of civilization instead of with its enemies.
I don't think anyone can really be shamed into changing, not when it comes to Jews. It has always been the most irrational, psychotic hatred and the extremes haters go to validate their hatred will trump everything. I mean, the Holocaust is the most thoroughly documented event in history with much the evidence still standing, and yet you have more and more people denying it. And look how any evidence Israel presents is treated.
I'm inclined to agree with you but at the same time I do think some old-school liberals can at least be peeled off from the Free Palestine! mob. I live near UCLA on a street with a bunch of professors and whenever they want to launch into their usual anti-Trump tirade, I try to mention that their campus (and many others) have been shamefully tolerating Jew hate and that I will never vote for a Dem again until they confront these mobs forcefully as well as the lies they spread (a la Fetterman). They usually don't respond or change the subject, but I at least give them some thoughts to ponder they prefer to avoid. These types of people are absolutely devoted to the Democratic Party and can only be budged if they feel a need to help or protect it. It's not much, but it could be a step toward a saner future.
Perhaps I'm one of the few Jewish Americans and a staunch Zionist that leads me to believe that cobbling words together that are powerful, emotive, poignantly expressed and targeted to anti-semites, anti-Zionists, and haters of Israel simply isn't enough to satiate the taste of Jewish blood on the tongues of those who hate us. Uh-uh. No more. Learn the explicit lesson that has stood since 1948: Strength. That's the only way to defeat those who oppose us. Arm yourselves to defend who you are should anything go untoward in your communities. The hatred will not stop until our enemies feel the infliction of pain. Word? Useless.
Make no mistake, Joshua, there are plenty of Jews voting for Mamdani. It defies belief, and yet, here we are. It's absolutely galling that ANY Jew would vote for a man so blatantly hates Jews. He recently said, "I will protect and cherish the Jewish community." It gives me chills to think what he meant by that.
ya spell out clearly the stoo-pid-itty of their blind hate & the illogic... but yer argue-mints ain't too fresh (no offense) as "supportin' our own" in the US now is both a longtime tradition (not new nor minty fresh) AND a double edged sword...
Ya state:
"Build more Jewish institutions, invest in more Jewish media, run more Jewish organizations, support more Jewish candidates, and open more doors for one another. Use Jewish connections to advance projects that benefit our communities; ask for favors the way any community uses networks to get ahead; leverage capital to fund Jewish schools, hospitals, cultural institutions, and independent journalism that tells the truth."
Tho' sure, ve joos could do more to support our own (arguably spend more wisely in the right ways--not zo much on do-nuttin' committees & self-congratulatory dinners an' -- NOT on ill-advised causes like BLM or Antifa or whutever de-luded/de-looted enterprise that'll gladly take jooish sheckles an' offer nuttin' but scorn in return). BUT...
For over 100 years chews in the US have ALREADY dun just that.... WE created (in majority in spite'a bein' a minority) media, networks, films, literary mags, coursework, lecture circuits, an' zo much more.... There are many jooish run orgs & philanthropies (some misguided but the intentions were good)... that benefit joos uniquely (eg. Hillel houses an' the like) an' those that benefit EVERYBUDDY.... auditoriums, museum wings, hospital ward/wings an' more. An' STILL they hate us... An' they tell us the MORE we do "for ouselfs" the LESS American we are--but then again (sigh) they say that when jooish philanthropies help everybuddy too...
So I both LIKE what'cha said an' KNOW it'll be an even greater source of HATE--"oh they fund their OWN"...
Look, nobuddy'd grouse when wealthy blacks fund black scholarship programs, apprenticeships, charities that benefit the underprivileged black youth & other such. Nobuddy'd grouse when Christian orgs fund religious orgs, scholarships, churches, etc. BUT... they holler "double standard" & "dual loyalty" even when it's not Israel related an' only joos benefit (oh an they HATE that makin' aliyah trips are fee fer joos--that gits their goats/only kids mightily!)--
The fact is, that ANY funds put forth to advance our culcha', faith, tribe, jooish education git eggzamined with a nit-comb an' we end up under the microscope an' determined ta be "lice" or otherwise unwanted. I frankly do NOT git it but it's a thang so jus' doin' more for ourselfs is a GREAT idear that'll git us in even GREATER hot warter in the good'ol' hippo-critter-cull USA.
jus' my two cents... ve trooly are an eggceptional people in EVERY way (yay/sigh/oy)
You got that right. So Kevin Roberts from the Heritage Foundation defended Tucker and his nascent Jew hatred. Today I stopped all support for what I once thought of as a Christian ally to us juice. Nah uh haters all of them.
Not only do we need to put antisemites in their place, we need to start with the self-hating, Kapo Jews.
Then, Jews need to start supporting other Jews by favoring other Jews in all situations, the way every other minority does.
Go to a Korean wedding. What nationality with the caterer and photographer and DJ be? That's how it needs to be with Jews. Go to a company with an Indian in a high position. I guarantee you they have other Indians working for them, in disproportionate numbers. That's how it needs to be with Jews.
Contemporary antisemitism succeeds precisely because it has learned to speak the language of the oppressed while practicing the politics of the oppressor. It calls for dismantling the infrastructure of Jewish collective life while presenting this as liberation. It demands that Jews accept double standards as the price of participation in progressive spaces. It treats Jewish self-defense as aggression and Jewish survival as colonialism. The counterstrategy requires abandoning the search for legitimacy from those who will never grant it, building instead the institutions and networks that make Jewish communities resilient against both rhetorical delegitimization and material threat.
Those people who say that the Jews do not have a right to a country on their ancestral lands it's the Pestinians have a right to a country on Jewish ancestral lands - they are the racist colonialists.
Can we resolve to banish the appellation “Jewish American”. I am proudly Jewish and American. There is no need to combine the two. Have you ever heard of a Christian American or Catholic American?
“We will not be the perpetual case study for other people’s self-righteous performances.” I fear the people advocating for dignity and safety for all people and children would say the same to Zionists. This entire piece reads like a self-righteous performance and not at all like a distinguished or honorable expression of genuine pain and suffering. Wishing you all the best.
Except these “advocates” are generally intersectionally-deluded narcissistic idiots who believe the utter lies about Jews committing genocide as you clearly do, Pisher. How fucking DARE you tell us how to feel and express pain?! You wouldn’t say anything of the sort to one of your beloved murderous fake ‘palestinians’ now would you?
Moishe time to start paying attention to current events. Tucker Carlson a fairly mainstream conservative voice in America has recently surfaced as an unabashed Jew hater. He is very influential in American conservative circles. So I pray that Hashem makes a special and personal lightening bolt with his name on it just to help deepen my belief in the Master of the Universe you know as a sign that he really cares and vaporises that POS. just praying
Please let us all know your definition or example of a "distinguished or honorable expression of genuine pain and suffering" and who gets to be ultimate arbiter. This is quite a high moral standard you've set and quite a claim to exalted moral wisdom you seem to be making.
"distinguished or honorable" are easy if subjective—successful, deserving of respect, worthy of honor;
But "expression of genuine pain and suffering" is a bit harder and can't be found in a static dictionary definition: who's to say what's "genuine" or not? We live in a time of rhetorical escalation, concept creep and constant claims to victimhood, up to the point where it's common now for people to claim that certain words, books or ideas cause them "genuine pain and suffering". I usually try to take all these claims with some combination of charity and skepticism. But your comment seemed both very uncharitable and evasive with a dash of ad hominem. I don't know Josh Hoffman but he doesn't seem to be a bullshit artist, hatemonger or bomb thrower.
If there's something you want to say to the "Zionists", you should just come out and say it.
It’s time to start calling them Jew haters and to stop using a term coined by 19th century German Jew hater Wilhelm Marr! It’s time to claim who were are, Jews from Judea instead of using a created by gentiles😼
My thoughts exactly
Precisely.....I stopped using "anti-Semite" two+ years ago in favor of the more precise and accurate "Jew-hater".
Change the damn rules of the game.
Exactly, our enemies claim they are Semites’ thus they can’t be ‘Anti-Semite’s’. Why are we as Jews letting non-Jews determine what term to use for hatred towards us? We’re Jews from Judea and hatred towards us is pure unadulterated Jew hate, not some nebulous term coined by a 19th century German Jew hater. It’s absurd.
I plan to do the same. It’s time to take off the gloves. Jew hater will replace antisemitic and antisemitism.

With apologies to Dara Horn, if there’s one thing people love more than dead Jews, it is defenseless ones.
A really fantastic piece. Powerful and righteous. I’m not Jewish but I agree with every word.
Related is the issue of calling Judea and Samaria the "West Bank" a name derived from Jordan's occupation of the land in 1948.
Those people who say that the Jews do not have a right to a country on their ancestral lands it's the Pestinians have a right to a country on Jewish ancestral lands - they are the racist colonialists.

Y’all should go back and listen to yourselves.
Y’all sound like the very people you hate.

Go to your room. No computer for you for a week.
You mean like Tuck the Schmuck or is it Tucker the Fuc$&r? Just asking a question.
What is it you are trying to say and to whom are you saying it?
