We need to get tougher in the fight against antisemitism and stop bringing policy papers to a street fight. Knuckle-dusters are what we need, and a large dose of contempt.
What kind of upside down world are we in when there must be a debate about supporting the Jews, who gave the world monotheism and Western Civilization, and jihadists, who gave the world 9/11 and 10/7, and who have put to the sword every populace with whom they’ve ever come in contact? Divest from the corrupt US academy, tell the UN to fuck off, and don’t patronize businesses who engage in blood libel.
Nothing upsets me more than Jews criticizing Israel. Even Israel supporters making common cause with the enemy and doing so by pretending it's Netanyahu they hate. When Schumer stood on the floor of the senate in December 23 and DEMANDED Israel hold elections and remove Netanyahu (Rather than praise him and Israel for the justness and brilliance of its response) I felt a cold hatred for him the likes of which I have never known.
No kidding. And maybe we should be a little bit more critical about the groups like Jewish students against Israel. My university just organized one. This is in addition to students for justice for Palestine. And of course, JVP. We might be losing our young population. Whether I like it or not, but I can understand when people who have relation to Palestine argue in favor of it, but I have a much harder time to understand when Jewish students join in the same position. Or maybe critical, is not the correct word – maybe trying to engage them. But I do not know how and I do not know whether they’re willing to listen. Clearly, something is amiss.
A leading Reform Rabbi around mid-2024 began to speak up and discuss "Where Did We Go Wrong". He understood that essentially the only Jewish students who took part in the horrible campus rallies and encampments were either Reform or even less affiliated with Jewish Culture. For several years I have noted and written that 'there is a huge percentage of Jewish persons who hate, Hate, HATE anyone or any group that adhere to our 'traditional' practices including the Mitzvah or obligation to study Torah every day. I'm a late, slow, and minimalist learner. We have a secret that is a simple singular way that it could be possible for Jewish people to come into alignment with one another. That is to commit to the study of the Weekly Parashot. There is a minimal part of the Parasha to study every day. It is an unfathomable tool and one can start today at one's own level. Although there are a number of Jewish sites with the Parashot.... the www is dictated by the algorithm which is professionally infiltrated by proselytizing xtians. So one needs to find a bona fide Jewish site with the 'right' knowledge. One of those is the chabad dot org site. Regarding the weekly Parashot that site is already user friendly for every level of learning.
I agree with everything you said, wonderful to hear the truth but what do you do when your a lone jewish woman living in NZ and you are not aloud a gun or pepper spray or a voice.
Its not easy here the country might be beautiful but its full of sheep.
I should say I think Hamas are worse than the Nazis they are not even human.
All well and good but the biggest problem is that they FAR outnumber us. And they have the media behind them. And with greater numbers, they also control social media. It would be great if Christians who support Jews/Israel would join the fight, but so far--very very few have. They support us, pray for us, want us to succeed--but without their loud and proud voices, we don't stand a chance in the propaganda war.
That the so called main stream media simply reports Hamas lies unchallenged is the single biggest problem we face. Fortunately a clear majority of Americans and frankly probably non Muslim Europeans hate and distrust the media and thus tend to lean towards Israel. Unfortunately a majority of Democrats do not.
You speak the truth! I have believed for years that Israel does not get its message out there. I seriously believe you should have a propaganda department. The damage these dreadful Palestinian marches are doing, silenced you. The Diaspora Jews just constantly hide behind a wall.
You need to become loud and shout from the roof tops. These evil individuals are not being confronted. Please take them on and become loud and more aggressive. Make people take notice. Fight them back with your words.
SO true and there's no one better at it than Prime Minister Netanyahu - He was absolutely masterful last night on Mark Levins's FoxNews show's "Life, Liberty and Levin." It was a master class in exactly what those who are the most appropriate spokespersons for the Nation and the People. Admittedly, because of certain unwarranted prejudices against Netanyahu, he may not be the best option in some circles; however, there's no question that he's most definitely the best of the best representative in terms of advocacy content! See him in the link below demonstrating the quintessential example of the type content needed for the "propaganda war" (as you so aptly labeled it) w/one of Israel's greatest friends, advocates and allies, Mark Levin, on the aforesaid broadcast: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6368539792112
I’ve lived in Israel since 1979 and recall vividly conversateions with my dad when he was flummoxed by the lack of what today we cal public diplomacy. The Best beyond far at this is Eytan Levy who got dumped. The talented are perceived as threats, somewhat perplexingly. Don’t get me started.
So well said - the horrors of the three hostages released last week - orchestrated by Hamas and the Red Cross was sickening beyond belief.
In the UK we have discovered that the people organising the Pro Palestinian marches requested on Oct 7th to do so. Two MP's have been writing antisemitic posts on Whats Ap.
It's like the 1930's in Europe is being played out again.
How can humans act in this way. I guess we have to accept outside of any religious beliefs that Evil exists
Good points which I will use going forward for interactions with these cretins. I have certainly noticed that reason doesn't work. They have taken the advanced course in Troll-ology and gaslighting and have it down pat. We need to troll and gaslight them back. In addition, the fact that the left-wing main stream news media is biased against us makes it harder for Israel to get it's point across. Also totally agree regarding that point about there not being any such phobia as Islamophobia. I've pointed that out to others in the past myself, since the definition of phobia is an unreasonable or unfounded fear and this is certainly not one.
We should all learn krav maga and just kick butt. The intellectual debates were fun around Shabbat dinner tables but no one on the streets seems to be listening or giving a sh** about facts, truth, or Jews. Making fun of the Nazis also seems to make them quiet down, once you realize that most of the them are not the smartest of the lot, it’s easy to use humor to disarm them.
Many Jews, sadly, believe in the propaganda of the Left. “Blah, blah DEI, blah, blah mass migration, blah, blah, systemic racism.” Many Jews have been eager contributors.
Israel and we Jews everywhere should recognize we are way past trying to talk, to righteously propagandize ourselves with the ongoing evil like Oct 7. We should have moved after the first suicide vest killed innocents. It’s time to execute justice. Or there will be more hostage taking. Murderers must be killed. Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass where the people go. And Bibi knows it. We best get behind what will be the earthly messianic cleansing of this land that has our name on it for thousands of years and call it what it is. War to win.

Hamas are the Nazis of this century and anyone who stands with Hamas sides with evil

Chuckie Schumer is the best example possible of a truly evil politician interested only in power. He is also a miserable human being.

Start by cracking down on the antisemitism that is being taught as part of the curriculum in US schools from kindergarten up. This article is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s happening everywhere in the US. https://www.city-journal.org/article/crack-down-on-anti-semitic-k-12-curricula

Very reasonable. The suck - because they suck!!!
