Comparing the war in Gaza to the Holocaust is morally wrong, historically inaccurate, and horrifically dangerous. Those who do have fallen prey to Hamas propaganda, similar to Nazi pseudoscience.
PROJECTION: The Psychology of claiming the very worst of one's own character is to be found in the other member of the 'Out' group. Hence, the Nazis claimed Jews were 'Sub-human', when in fact the worst and most bestial behaviour was perpetrated against each of the 'Races' of the 50 Million souls murdered by Hitler's soldiers throughout World War Two.
This is a very simplistic idea to prove that Jews are not only NOT the sub human beings as described by Nazis, etc., but the foundation of so many developments to improve the lives of all human beings. All it means the readers have to Google all the accomplishments of Jewish people going back thousands of years, right to very day's achievements. Then make a list of the accomplishments, positive only, of what the rest of the world's people have brought to civilization. A simple perusal of the list from those of us who are less the .02% of the population of this planet as compare to other people will prove that much of the world is acting on the greatest sins of all: JEALOUSY!!
Thank you Dr. Rae. As with most writers of the essays appearing on this very fine, important site i.e. Future of Jewish... there are a LOT of very intelligent writers spinning their wheels. Or our wheels and cogs of our Jewish Mind. I am perfectly serious that Future of Jewish including its guest writers are wonderful. But as The Music Man sang "oh we got trouble right here in river city...". My rant since Oct 8, 2023 is that 'The We' must face and understand "The BIG Lesson". THAT should be the starting point for some of these VERY gifted writers linked via substack/The Future of Jewish. One set of our 1000s of amazing Jewish leaders are those involved with JNS. The following is what I JUST sent as a Comment on their latest video whose title is enclosed in my Comment (tirade, rant, loop on permanent replay... ): "What is your answer to your question? "What will it take to stop the avalanche of jew hate? I appreciate your intellect including the phenomenal aspect of being able to store and regurgitate 53 minutes of listing clearly dozens out of the 1000s of hate crimes against Jewish people and properties of all sorts. With the exception of Yoshai Fleischer... JNS is an old school Jewish interest kvetch machine. That has for at least 70 years been one of the main techniques of soliciting donations, patronage, and stable or sporadic financial support. The kvetch machine is led by the two public heads of JNS i.e. including the CEO. As brilliant intellectually as each of JNS's public presenters is... there is a HUGE PROBLEM WITHIN JNS AND HAS LONG BEEN A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT OUR GREATEST JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS.... they are kvetch machines who totally rationalize 'the need' to kvetch endlessly STARTING from THE WRONG APPROACH i.e. victimhood - "woe is me" - the hollow-cause which should only be treated with sacred wisdom - and that four-letter word "anti" ie in particular forever kvetch about The Anti-S Thing. Such as here as usual for 53 minutes. I am absolutely certain you KNOW a better way. But likely you as in JNS do not see THAT way as 'practical'. We NEED you and every organization to SHIFT GEARS. As I have said since Oct 8 we ALL each of us must NOW face "The BIG Lesson" and face the question "Now What". YOU said it in this title. STOP KVETCHING. STOP LISTING THE HORRORS except where and when you outwardly say THAT is what you are about to present to the public. "What will it take" .. for you, JNS and its two brilliant heads and its brilliant presenters to STOP and face the music... this is an olde approach you have repackaged and it is decades past its USE-BY-DATE."
Yes, Ira. We have become defined by The Holocaust. And The Germans are defined by The Nazis. How to break out? Well, we can't. And neither can The Nazis. So we have to go DIRECTLY THROUGH IT. And that means, Confronting History. By the way, MI6 has Re-Formed The Nazi Party. No surprises there. So, Make the Darkness visible, and then appeal to the Better Angels! Best Wishes, Hope this Helps!
I needed this today. Thank you so much. I had a horrible conversation last night with a college friend who was born Jewish and now hates Israel. It’s like talking to a robot. He says that antisemitism is all because Israel “does bad things”. So easy to say while living on the nonprofit gravy train on your wife’s health insurance. I am not Jewish but I am in this fight with you. No matter what
Frankly, I am getting bored with the essays on FOJ ,,,,,, how many ways can we dress up the same pig? By now, we know about the rise in antisemitism, we know about all the lies, we know how terrible acts of violence against Jews are happening in so much of the Western world and the list goes on and on.
Can we not talk about what we can do to fight it? can we not talk about the marriage of the Islamists/Marxists and how they want to destroy Western culture and what we can do about it? Can we not write essays that are not only directed toward the Jewish reader but directed to all decent people, Jews and non-Jew alike? We keep saying that Israel's war is against an enemy that wants to destroy all of Western culture so lets emphasize that. Can we not write essays to and about the brave non-Jews who support us and who our voicing their support? The whining is truly non-constructive and to not include our non-Jewish allies is frankly strategically dumb.
The writers are all wonderful and they seem to have addressed all our woes repeatedly. Can we now expand the horizons a bit? I find whining is so counter productive. I would like to be able to share articles from FOJ to my non-Jewish friends and getting them involved in our fight. That is the key I believe to changing the silent majority from silent to active.
A very good article, but Arab children aren’t merely taught Jew-hatred by tv shows and books. The fact is that the Islamic religion is inherently antisemitic. If one compares the holy texts of Islam (the Koran and the Sunnah) are more antisemitic than Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Source:Center for the Study of Political Islam International, CSPII.
Here are just a few examples:
Surah At-Tawbah (9:29):
• This verse commands Muslims to fight those among the People of the Book (including Jews and Christians) who do not adhere to the laws of God or His Messenger, until they pay the jizyah (a tax) while being in a state of submission.
• “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture—[fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”
Surah Al-Isra (17:4-7):
• This passage speaks of two instances where the Children of Israel were warned about their transgressions and foretells their punishment through invasions and destruction.
• “And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, ‘You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness.’ So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours—those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes…
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:65-66)
• Refers to a group of Jews who violated the Sabbath and were punished by being transformed into “apes.”
• “And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised.’ So We made it an example for what was before it and an example for those who fear Allah.”
Surah Al-Hashr (59:2-4)
• Describes the expulsion of a Jewish tribe in Medina (Banu Nadir) who violated their agreements during the Prophet Muhammad’s time.
• “It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering… That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger.
I could not care much about what 'people think about Jews and Israel' when this is negative, because these beliefs are not true. What is dangerous is when these beliefs are used by the unscrupulous in power, to raise militias to steal our property, and eventually to kill: Pogroms, The Holocaust, Mass Murder. These movements are presently being dusted off once again and tried right here in Britain. Only now, we have the whole battle order. We are freelance Monitors based in London. We have successfully watched, monitored and proved that The Nazi Party has been re-started and re-formed by the Nazi Element of The State here in Europe. The correct response is the Antifascist one: No Pasaran.
Gutierres alas was right.......Oct 7th of '23 didn't happen in a vacuum. No....after a generation of preposterous inversion of right to self determination vs right to exterminate the racist genocidal regime in Iran , the ultranationalist, fanatic , eschatological so called Islamic rep used its proxies to be begin the Next Holocaust. The psychopathology of Jews and progressive non Jews re the people who now self identify as "Palestinian" is truly one that should be a subject of psychological investigation and perhaps a cure can be found.....as gays oncce were perceived curable.
"From Al Jazeera on June 30, 2017: “It is hidden from those who read [Jews’] religious books that there are clear and explicit texts that urge declaring and waging wars against the infidels (non-Jews), killing them, burning them, betraying them, and breaking covenants with them. Only the Jews deserve to live, and the rest of humanity is their slaves.”
Excellent piece. The Hamas loving community has somehow convinced people that the Jews are perpetrating exactly what Hamas is doing.

Thank you Dan! I don't know what M16 has been up to. I'll goog-le and you-tube. But if you have any link or links I'd be happy to look at those.

Thank you for this wonderful article, the really terrible thing, is that
People believing all the lies and distortion about Jews, Israel, Zionism
I could not care much about what 'people think about Jews and Israel' when this is negative, because these beliefs are not true. What is dangerous is when these beliefs are used by the unscrupulous in power, to raise militias to steal our property, and eventually to kill: Pogroms, The Holocaust, Mass Murder.

As usual, the muslims project their own evil doctrines written into the koran, onto the Jews.
