We've all learned new things in the past 2 years in re the Jews and their enemies, and while I've unfortunately had to learn that most people will parrot any lie or slander, no matter how false or malicious, as long as that mindless parroting allows them to keep their job and friends and cash, I've learned one other valuable lesson:
In my dealings with the Free Palestine! crowd, who are all filled with rage and hatred yet seem to imagine they're motivated by love and compassion, I've noticed a commonality: they're usually mediocre people, very light on achievement or any visible accomplishment, often physically unattractive, the men usually very shabby and angry and the women usually very unstable, and in the place of rational argument the most they can muster is the repetition of slogans and slurs and a grasp of history and reality so one-sided and oversimplified it would embarrass a bright teenager.
Thus I've been led to conclude that Jew haters are simply the lowest rung of every society, the world's most miserable losers looking for a handy scapegoat to blame for their shitty lives. Anti-Semitism is like a reverse Mensa, a way for stupid ugly souls to mix and mingle and feel important. Maybe Anti-Semitism is eternal because spite and envy are eternal?
That sadly is not true. Just like the Nazis, who were often leaders of society and professors who were highly respected, Jew hatred covers the entire spectrum of people in society. For example, the worst Jew haters in Britain, other than the Muslims are the chattering class, which includes journalists, academics, the arts community and professionals and politicians, who definitely are not the bottom rung of society. The US is no different from Britain, so do not fool yourself.
I absolutely see your point and stand corrected. I may have committed the common fallacy of confusing the internet with the real world.
Then again, maybe instead of saying "Jew haters are simply the lowest rung of every society" I should have said "humanity", because I think we've all seen the shocking lack of integrity exhibited these past few yrs by "journalists, academics, the arts community and professionals"...
I live near a major college in a leafy area and there's not one of our recent political mass hysterias my academic neighbors haven't supported blindly and unconditionally, esp all the crazy Covid restrictions, BLM/George Floyd and the Trans agenda.
I think the common denominator and the rarest virtue is simple courage. Most people simply adopt all the beliefs of their class and cohort and only change their minds when others do. And standing up against an angry mob is hardest of all, it's easier to keep your head down.
I work for a government corporation which has an active HR department.
The company intranet has a headline cultural calendar reminding us of of Ramadan, Eid, Black History Month, Pride Month and all the rest.
Last year I took them to task - no Rosh Hashanah, no Hannukah, no Sukkot, no Passover etc - not even a Holocaust Memorial Day.
I wrote to our DEI representative to query this and was ignored; I had to raise it to Board level before getting an acknowledgment about how busy everyone was, and a request to write some articles for the intranet. I did that, had two printed, and was then told that future articles would be written by the DEI team.
Of course, there have been no future articles, and there are no entries on the cultural calendar for any Jewish holy days / holidays.
On the morning of Yom Kippur, I wrote a short article on the history of/ significance of Yom Kippur and entered it in the ‘comments’ section for Black History month.
No response.
I also wrote another letter to the DEI HR person querying the lack of diversity.
No response.
And we all know what happened in Liverpool later that day.
Still no response, I’ll be giving it another week or so and then taking it to the Board again.
It’s past depressing, but it has to be called out - I invite you to guess the belief system followed by the HR DEI person.
Could not agree more. One only has to listen to an interview with any of the organisers of the weekly marches in the UK to recognise your description. The recent piece by Matthew Syed in The Sunday Times depicts perfect examples.
First class comment on a forensically brilliant article.
I’m currently rejoicing at what POTUS / Bibi have achieved, but part of me wishes the IDF had been allowed to finish the job.
But think, just consider the achievements:
Iran - weakened, humiliated & defanged.
Hizbollah - crippled and humiliated.
Hamas - beheaded, disabled, humiliated.
Qatar - made to smell the coffee.
And all this from a tiny democracy of less than ten million people!
Of course Hamas won’t surrender all their weapons, of course the baddest guys will try to return; but a marker has been laid down and the world has been reminded that the Jews are no longer going to obediently climb into the cattle trucks.
I’m an English goy, but I salute the people and the government of Israel and most heartily wish I could be as proud of my own country as my Israeli friends are of theirs.
Perhaps, one day, the Western world will say ‘Thank You’ and also apologise.
It’s time to stop using German anti-Semite Wilhelm Marr’s ‘anti-Semitism’ term and begin using the more accurate term ‘Jew hatred’. That we still use a word created by a German Jew hater beggars belief. Enough of this already.
My non-Jewish friends are loyal and supportive at this time. This has been very heartening. This is therefore Important to see the personal and individual right now. My friends are very warm to me….But yes, the present climate is not good.
Mine don’t know, don’t want to know, and don’t want to hear any of it. They’re so deep in their progressive rhetoric, they can’t see or hear anything else.
So what the f*** do we DO about this? I have a radical idea. With the help of the Mossad perhaps, make the Jew haters PAY for their irrational hate. Make them fear us. Make them understand that we can be their very best friends or their very worst nightmare. Put a price on hating Jews. As long as they don’t fear us they can hate us without cost. Make it cost the Jew-haters. Dearly.
Whenever I see these masked terrorist mobs with their pinheads swaddled in checkered dishrags, waving their Nazi "Palestine" flags, all I can think of is what a missed opportunity it is to have them all in one place and not take care of the problem, then and there.
They think their opinion is so important that they tell Hamas not to take the deal and continue the kamikaze behaviour of the death cult to feed the Hamas marketing budget in the west.
The NYT betrays the Judea-Christian values that helped to build that institution.
Muslims killed 2.6 million blacks in Africa....45000 Christians in Nigeria...( Bill Maher said 100000)
Killing Christians all over the world ..burning churches all over the world...Muslim world wide religious war...already conquered France Spain Belgium Sweden Finland norway.australia Canada and American college campuses.....so maybe ignore antisemitism and begin to say what it is ....a Muslim world war....no longer refer to certain countries as western allies but refer to them as Muslim countries
Meanwhile many American Jews, who are incredibly assimilated and very often not halachically Jewish, actually believe Pollywood, and for people who are supposedly very bright and well educated, have absolutely no critical thinking skills to realize all the propaganda spewing from the legacy media is from Hamas as the only source. They above any other people are the "useful idiots" the term used by the Arabs in the ME who are laughing their heads off at the West. Is it because these American Jews are already self-hating due to the decades of brainwashing by Reform, more a social activist movement, than a Jewish sect. Israel has been demonized by the leaders and rabbis of Reform for decades, and the outcome has been Jews who believe the same people who want to kill them all, just like the Nazis, and their totally assimilated children who have become Hamas atrocity lovers.
You are soooooooo right !!!!!!!!........It's so utterly true and hurtful.......There was one Pope ( the Polish Pope ) who said " ANTISEMITISM IS A SIN " it looks like a lot of people forgot about it !!!!!!!!.....

Bullseye. They're "Free Palestine" because they're pathetic losers to begin with.
Could not agree more. One only has to listen to an interview with any of the organisers of the weekly marches in the UK to recognise your description. The recent piece by Matthew Syed in The Sunday Times depicts perfect examples.
Totally agree with you.
Unhappy people find happiness in making others unhappy, hurt people want to hurt others, losers hate winners.
This is the psychology on mass display, a fight that is a race to the bottom being fought by people who are actually the dregs of society.

Most of mine appear to have no idea this is even going on; or if they do, they don't say anything about it.
Mine don’t know, don’t want to know, and don’t want to hear any of it. They’re so deep in their progressive rhetoric, they can’t see or hear anything else.
Not all of us - honestly.
I am not a Jew but I wear a Magen David to show support.
Not all of us.
Believe me.

Well, one thing is to learn how to personally defend ourselves. Every Jew should be in self defense classes, at least. We can’t depend on anyone else.
I agree with you 100%
It is so hard to get one's head around. I've only woken up to this reality recently, and I find it truly upsetting.
I would surely like to give the software a virus. So far, the only thing that seems to work is H.V.L.P. (high velocity lead poisoning).
I have had the same experience with my many non Jewish friends, very grateful for them. ❤️
The NYT has exposed itself.
They think their opinion is so important that they tell Hamas not to take the deal and continue the kamikaze behaviour of the death cult to feed the Hamas marketing budget in the west.

Thanks Joshua - as always straight to the point
The biggest majority of Brits of all colours, religions are so appalled with the regard to the oldest racism raising its ugly head yet again.
Unfortunately there is a loud, horrible minority who usurp our institutions and get away with it
We are both angry and sad - we want the inclusive nation that we had back
This breaks my heart, A Christian who stands along side you.
When Leftists and the Extreme Right converge with the added Islamists, a very dangerous cocktail is brewing. Read about post on “horseshoe theory”
