Love this article.....it looks like the Pope (who is an hypocrite) forgot what Pope John Paul had said years ago: " ANTISEMITISM IS A SIN " and also seems that he forgot that Jesus was a Jew, of the tribe of Judah, and a descendant of our King David ......

He also said that Jews are the Catholics’ older brothers and sisters. He was a better pope.

That is how it is presented, but who was the real man who died? During that time, the leaders of the rebellion were in the majority who were crucified, as well as the innocent as a deterrent, that no one is safe. The celebration itself, where it is said that "Jesus" has died, is based on ignorance of the laws imposed on the Jews. The high priest does not dirty his hands with illegal judgment as the new testament claims. So the Romans condemned him without consulting the Jews.

The story itself has been written down over 400 years after the events, much of which is third-hand or even fifth-hand information, if and when they were alive. The truth is revealed when authentic writings from the time are found. The so-called followers have never been dealt with by the great council, and the Jews had no right to sentence anyone to death. That was the right of the Romans.

You're essay is incredible. Very nuanced, and I appreciate it greatly.

I don't understand your support of Musk, whose mother was an antisemitic person, and Musk is also. Musk Giving cover the Germanys far right Natzi party by telling them on a video appearance just prior to their election, not to be ashamed of their past, doesn't have our interests at heart.

As for the Vatican strictly guarding its borders while telling western countries to have open borders, like marxists everywhere, they never practice what they preach. Why would anyone take this pope seriously?

MLK was a fierce defender of Israel.

Ireland is a shithole country with a vicious antisemitic government. Ireland itself is a terrorist nation, the IRA having collaborated with the PLO.

The disgusting media reveals itself as believing that the entirety of Israel is a Jewish "settlement".

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Then, this week, the network escalated its troubling pattern of undermining Israeli sovereignty. During a special report on Sunday, covering the release of three Israeli hostages, anchor Errol Barnett referred to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, the home of two of the hostages, as “a settlement.”

Great article. I would call the flyers distributed in Columbia’s modern Israel history class antisemitic not anti-Israel. That poster of jackboot crushing Zionism is meant to be reminiscent of Nazi propaganda. But in their inverse universe, we are the Nazis. It is meant to obfuscate the origins of modern day Islamist extremism and pan-Arabism, both heavily influenced by Hitler and Jew hating ideology.

A very appropriate title for this essay. I have to say as I began reading, each one was so absurd, I thought I was readng a satire, but woe is me, all this is real, very real. As I continued reading, I began to recognize many pieces I had read in daily news items. Just this essay alone could turn people away from being a "Progressive" and what a misnomer that is.

Yes, and? Following the first nazsties big rally in Australia Oct 9, 2023 at the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House... combined with the fact that the Police did virtually nothing to prevent such a heinous act on that location... followed by continue ineffective show of strength by the national government I began to propose a) that Jewish persons and organizations need to get "The BIG Lesson"; and, b) "Now What" (with no question mark). You ARE doing something. Something significant by providing here an excellent public forum. ... and "Now What".

Some groups want to ban the use of the word anti-Semitism, and they have their own reasons. The lies that lead communities to act hostilely against a group of people, against the state, is anti-Semitism, all incitement, financial assistance to enable terrorism, boycotts, is the nesting of anti-Semitic nature in societies, they are reflected in Western politics both on the left and on the extreme right.

Here you can find endlessly good and excellent writings, sharp observations, information that the public media does not publish, it would lose its face by being revealed as a maintainer and spreader of lies.

Winston Churchill's sarcastic statement about the amount of human reason is an apt expression of how decisions are made.

Sorry, but the historically accurate definition of Jesus is a Roman who is supposed to represent the future king of the tribe of Judah, but who has been stripped of his Jewish identity, making him a fictional legend.

Who then was the model of that legend, it was hidden by a lie, just like in Vladimir Vysotsky's poem lie and truth. The New Testament is based on such non-existent provable fact, which would not have been born today, and we would not have the world's most anti-Semitic religion. But we must now learn to live with the existence of that religion.
