Absolutely. In all fairness, I came across Future of Jewish only a few months ago, but it resonated deeply with me. For me, it’s not about reading 'bestsellers' but about seeking out works that help me remember who I am, where I come from, and what I stand for. Being here in Europe can feel confusing at times, especially with so much noise in the media. I do my best to block it out so I can hear my own voice and the voices of those who speak truth through lived experience. Thank you for this piece—it’s truly needed!

We have to remember that Amesty International. along with the International Red Cross, all under the banner of UN which is the main parent of antisemitism, anti-Israel, and anti-PEACE! Many years ago, as a elementary school teacher, I receive a huge map of the world. I was eager to put it on bulletin board so my many nation children could locate the country of their birth of that of their parent, grandparents. when it securely fasted, I took a good look, and the land of Israel was in Arab green and only Jerusalem was mentioned. I took the map down, and on old Smith Corona typewrite, I wrote to AI and mentioned almost every island in Indonesia was names but ISRAEL was not. The reply was quick saying there no room. Yet, I replied my in next letter that a city is not usually mentionrf on a map like this but there seemed to be enough room for JERUSALEM but Israel. They sent me a new map which was the same as first one, and their self addressed. postage paid envelope for a donation. I took the map and using the papercutter, I cut into many pieces and since I had two envelopes. I put the pieces into envelopes, and dropped them the mail. About two weeks later, I repeated this same procedure with the identical map from the International Red Cross. Anyway they can condemn Israel they will. UNICEF is no better. I even spoke to an AI representative, and he couldn't or wouldn't deny that that organization hates Israel. I get calls almost every year to purchase UNICEF cards and they also do not recognize Israel.

On a slight tangent - but in the vein of the cancellation of Israel and Jewishness, I have become increasingly aware that in the places you hear people saying hello in many languages (conferences etc) or on welcome banners at offices, libraries, doctors clinics: Shalom is no longer there.... I'm of an age where I remember Shalom being an almost trendy counter-culture way of saying hello, and "peace". Where I can, I'm pulling organisations up on it...... if you include salaam, you can certainly include Shalom....

These four International organisations have been infiltrated to the very top of them by spies who are Nazis. This has been a goal of the (Nazi Elements in the) secret Services for many years now, for the whole of the post War period. We have monitored, and proved, this about MI6 here in London.

Please provide a link discussing the disgusting "four international organizations" and "spies who are... " and "We have monitored, and proved, this about M16 here in London".

I have forwarded my (Redacted) reports to you, Ira. The Nazi infiltration of Five and Six, as well as the German BND organisation is now emerging into the daylight here in Europe. They also caused the war in Ukraine. Best wishes. Dan

You revealed the truth well, unfortunately they close their ears and eyes to the truth. And they don't even know that their leaders have financed everything that the terrorists have now used against Israel. Every single tunnel must be destroyed before a single Arab is allowed in there. And they should not be given any responsibility, but the administration must be led by a completely external administration that Israel also accepts. A third party is not suitable for the region, the so-called Palestine has already been divided in 1922.

Fantastic article, thank you. I feel like the term genocide has been repeated so much during the last year especially, the term has basically lost all meaning.

“GENOCIDE” IS NOW A MEANINGLESS TERM

Genocide today means any conflict involving Jews where a civilian die.

In light of the latest lie by an international organisation (Amnesty) about genocide and the latest barbaric bloodbath in Syria which nobody cares about, I have republished this article from last November.

The misuse of the word genocide is possibly the most disgraceful occurance since 7th October. Everyone using it wrongly should be excommunicated from society and in the case of the President of the Oxford Union expelled.

PLEASE SPREAD THE MESSAGE!!

It was also completely inappropriate for Amnesty to do this while the ICJ is set to decide this very same question. At least the ICJ will be required to accept Israel's submission into evidence- Amnesty is accountable to no one and can ignore whatever it likes.

Excellent essay, and with this expanded definition of genocide intentionally changed to obscure the actual genocide against the Jewish people and make it possible to once again victimize Jews by accusing Israel of genocide in its defensive war currently being wage, will come accusations of "intellectual genocide" in which those who disagree with Amnesty International or other Jew hating entities will be accused of genocide. So if you defend Israel in any way, you are guilty of genocide. Then will come the further expansion of genocide to include the actual practice of Judaism, a genocidal religion. Finally will come the last expansion, that of having a percentage of Jewish blood or ancestry, regardless of religious or political belief. Simply being a Jew or having Jewish ancestry will fit the definition of being guilty of genocide.

The word genocide has been demoted to invalidate the shoah. No other reason.

Yes. And the pattern is repeating: twisted lies against Jews is now at the intensity of Hitler’s regime so I am anxious about the next move.

I could not find any current polls but polls that were done 6 months ago showed roughly a third of Americans think Israel is committing genocide and a whopping 45% of Canadians think Israel is committing genocide. And there is a sharp contrast along Party lines with Conservative/Republicans saying no genocide and Liberal/NDP and Democrats saying Israel is committing genocide.

Those numbers are frightening! They tells us that we are failing miserably in the PR war. Personally, I put the vast majority of the blame on the bias of mainstream media. WaPo, the NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, BBC and all the others have done everything in their power to show Israel in the worst possible light. They have even done a great job calling right leaning news outlets like Fox who really have done an outstanding job in reporting about Israel as Fake News outlets.

They are the main problem and a very tough one to solve. Next my blame goes to our large Jewish organizations who beg for money every day and are completely unaccountable and truly inaccessible to the Jewish public. Most of them if not all of them are led by fat cats who are part of the political swamp. We just had what i think is the most important election for Jews and Israel in my lifetime and NOT ONE of the major organizations supported a candidate. What cowards and how irresponsible. They dont because they dont have the balls to take a stance. Afraid they are going to lose donation money they ask for every day of every week.

If our large organizations are frightened to create controversy then you can rest assured they are ineffective and wasteful in other areas. I can easily imagine that their campaigns are done with the least amount of "noise", that they hire their good buddies for whatever projects they decide to do etc.

Here's a prime example .... Johnathan Greenblatt is the top dog at ADL. He sends me and many of you emails every week for money. If you check his background, he was extremely involved with the Democrat Party, he was special assistant to Obama. Do you think he would have his organization endorse Trump if he felt Trump were better than Harris? Never happen. That example runs throughout our big organizations and that is why IMHO we are getting decimated in the PR war. They really dont work for the Jewish people first, they work for themselves. Try reaching some of the big shots at these organizations and you will be spinning your wheels. They dont want to hear from you or your suggestions, they just would like you to fill out the donation form cuz if you do it that day, they will get 3 times what you donated!

Not to omit the Love of Power which depending on the individual or the organization can be just as big a contributing factor.

I have been reading every new article and reading backwards through your publications for 2 months now. I have learned so much. I have always felt a deep fondness for Israel because my parents have always spoke so highly of their time there and of the Israeli people.

I was horrified when so many of my liberal friends (with whom I have always agreed) responded to Oct 7th with social media posts of the most vile nature. These have become even worse over the past year. I have and will continue to share your articles so that maybe this collective madness will end. I will always stand with Israel.

Amnesty nor Jewish leftist, progressives have yet to call either Iran or Iran/Hamas murder "a genocide." So that takes care of their blatant biases and hyprocrisy. The Armenians....seem to want to be in a cozy bed with hamas and "Palestine" re their massacres and the so called nakba or the refusal of Jews to be murdered in '48. Better to be allies of Palestine so called , join the keffiyah brigade and safe guard the vulnerable Armenian minorities in Iran, Lebanon, Syria. Better to complain some Haredi Jew spit at an Armenian priest in Jerusalem. The spit of some Jew is more outrage than the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh. Genocide envy. No one has suffered the suffering of the "Palestinians" so called. And at the hands of the Jews! Good copy.

I am waiting for the Free Syria marches to start to recognize that genocide.

Jamie, good post, just review and revise whenever you see a typo similar to this one:

You wrote “Destroying the “concept” of a Palestinian people (i.e. Palestine is not a country, even though it is not)”, actually intending to write “Palestine is a country, even though it is not…”. Thanks for your attention! Oscar

When I repeatedly attempted to warn Amnesty International about The Re-Formation of The Nazi Party and The Nazi Take-over attempts of The British State in 2013 here in London, I was told at every stage that 'things like this do not happen in The United Kingdom', in these exact words.

I concluded at the time that AI had been silenced by highly placed Nazi infiltrators at the top of that organisation, in the same way that The Guardian Newspaper here in Britain was taken over by the MI6 plant Editor XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX who then covered for The Nazi Party in MI6 as the battle raged in 2012 onwards.

Also, If you look at the countries that have been the targets of 'Genocide' Accusations, they have all fought Nazism in their History, including Serbia and Russia.

We conclude this is the latest Nazi attempt against Israel to lessen the historical culpability for the 50 Million dead to Genocide, (including 27 Million Russian folk who were murdered either as soldiers or civilians for Hitler's 'Lebensraum in The East for The Ethnic Germans', in WWII by the Germans and their Nazis), by Nazis and their sympathisers who have reached the top of political organisations such as AI here in The West.
