Maligning critics by Jewish groups to “protect” Israel only damages their credibility
By Philip Giraldi
In a 2002 interview the former Israeli government minister Shulamit Aloni was asked by Amy Goodman: “Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called antisemitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?” Shulamit Aloni replied “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic.” She added that there is an “Israel, my country right or wrong” attitude and “they’re not ready to hear criticism.” Antisemitism, the Holocaust and “the suffering of the Jewish people” are exploited to “justify everything we do to the Palestinians.”
Currently Israel is involved in a conflict with Hamas in Gaza that it has described as a “war” though the disparity in force levels involving a country with a modern fully equipped army, navy and air force versus something more like a militia armed with small arms and home-made rockets suggest that a different label might be more appropriate. The fighting has been constant apart from a six day pause to exchange hostages and prisoners and promises to continue into the New Year, and possibly much longer, due to the difficulty in engaging in anything like conventional warfare in a bombed out and devastated urban environment that favors the defense.
Israeli extreme brutality has been on display for all the world to see. Last week, Israeli soldiers shot dead three Jewish hostages who had escaped from their Hamas captors under cover of an Israeli bombardment. The hostages took most of their clothes off so it could be clearly seen that they were unarmed and they were carrying a white flag with their hands in the air, but the soldiers reacted by shooting two of them immediately. The third took cover in a building while calling for help in Hebrew, but he too was pursued and killed. In another incident two Catholic women, mother and daughter, taking shelter in Gaza’s only Catholic church were targeted and shot by Israeli snipers. This produced a rebuke from the Pope.

However it turns out, the conflict in Gaza will be Israel’s longest “war” by far since the creation of the country in 1948. Israel’s intention is to force the Gazans to leave whether by forced resettlement in neighboring countries, in Europe or in the United States, or by killing them all. The deputy mayor of Jerusalem has recently labeled the Palestinians “subhumans” and has recommended rounding them up and burying them alive. He is not alone in that viewpoint and, at a minimum, many government ministers believe that the best outcome of the Palestinian problem is to get rid of the Palestinians in Gaza and also on the West Bank completely, whatever that takes, to establish once and for all “Eretz” or Greater Israel from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River and possibly even expanding into southern Lebanon and Egypt’s Sinai.
Israeli willingness to use bombs, starvation and even disease against the Palestinians in what is now being frequently referred to as a genocide has meant that the Jewish state’s list of friends around the world has shrunk dramatically and is limited to several European states and the US under self-declared Zionist President Joe Biden. A UN Security Council motion calling for a ceasefire was blocked by a US veto even though the ten other council members voted for it with one abstention by the UK. A subsequent call for a ceasefire, ignored by Israel, obtained 153 “Yes” votes in the UN General Assembly against 10 “Nos” two of which were Israel and the United States plus US “freely associated” micro-states Micronesia and Palau which always align with Washington. And even in those mostly European countries nominally supporting Israel’s attacks in Gaza, there have been large demonstrations supporting the Palestinians. As the death toll among civilians approaches and almost certainly has already exceeded 20,000, many governments have begun to hedge their bets and wobble in their assertions that “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Defense does not apparently include targeting hospitals, schools, churches and apartment buildings full of fearful civilians seeking shelter from the explosions. Even Joe Biden is calling for restraint in the “indiscriminate” bombing though he is also expediting providing the Israelis with more bombs to do the killing.
As the crisis in Gaza worsened, the UN responded with yet another Security Council resolution, which was introduced by the United Arab Emirates on December 18th. The vote was subsequently delayed three times until the 21st primarily to allow time for debate over the exact wording so as to make it acceptable to the United States in order to avoid another veto by Washington. Cynics have been quick to observe quite plausibly that the Biden Administration is seeking to vote in favor of or abstain on a document that is completely toothless, allowing Israel to do whatever it wants, as is usually the case. The vote on “urgent humanitarian pauses” was expected on Thursday December 21st, but the US again forced a delay for further discussion after aligning its position with that of Israel and claiming, falsely, that UN involvement in the monitoring of assistance would actually slow down relief efforts.
Israel had previously insisted, with US support, that UN direct involvement in monitoring and coordinating the massive humanitarian effort needed to help the Gazans should not be permitted. Israel demanded that only it should be responsible for inspecting incoming goods for “threats,” which, as the Jewish state is a party to the conflict, will itself inevitably and intentionally slow down assistance dramatically and will result in many unnecessary deaths. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also objected to the possibility that some wording in the resolution might suggest transformation of the “pause” into a lengthy ceasefire rather than a temporary “suspension” of hostilities with fighting resuming after a short period. Netanyahu has vowed that the military action will continue until all Hamas leaders and followers have surrendered or are dead. He is also demanding the immediate release of all Israeli hostages as a sine qua non for further deliberations on what might come next.
More important to Americans than dishonest parliamentary maneuvers at the UN should be the fact that defending Israel has meant that there is underway a wholesale assault on the First and Fourth Amendments of the Bill of Rights relating to freedom of speech and association. The attacks are being conducted by the Israeli Lobby and its assets and allies in both of the major political parties, the mainstream news media, Zionist-dominated American social media, and the American National Security apparatus. This has distorted what has happened in Gaza and why by turning the narrative of the conflict into a totally false bit of propaganda claiming alleged Arab terrorism and irredentism directed against the poor Jewish Israelis, who are once again serving as the featured victims. In America, universities are being described as hotbeds of surging antisemitism because students are protesting against Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Gaza while the heavily Jewish-influenced media and Jewish billionaires are working overtime to do whatever it takes to block any and all such criticism. Interestingly, the drive to ban or shut down protests and gatherings has had some major success directed against Arab or Muslim groups in a number of states with no Jewish groups on campus or in the community being interfered with in spite of their often robust support of Israel’s killing spree in Gaza.
The interference of Israel in both American domestic and foreign politics will only get worse in the upcoming year due to national elections. A number of Jewish groups are currently raising money and organizing to go after critics of Israel more aggressively, most particularly the few progressives in the Democratic Party who have spoken up about the genocide of the Palestinians that is taking place. Since the Israel Lobby already controls the White House, its aim is to make the Congress a 100% loyal cheerleader and protector of Israel and all its works, to include the continuing flow of billions of taxpayer dollars annually. Some major American Jewish organizations have, for example, just launched “The 10/7 Project” which will feature centralized communications to promote bipartisan support of Israel. “The 10/7 Project” will be sponsored and managed by the American Jewish Committee, the Jewish Federations of North America, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Ted Deutch, CEO of the American Jewish committee explained “The 10/7 Project’s” purpose, saying that “Since October 7, there has been a concerted and consistent effort from Israel’s enemies to draw a false and dangerous equivalence between Hamas’ deadly rampage to destroy the Jewish state and Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorists. ‘The 10/7 Project’ will be a trusted and timely source of accurate information to set the record straight and combat false narratives perpetuated by Hamas terrorists and their anti-Israel allies… At this critical juncture, it is imperative that we separate fact from fiction regarding America’s most important Middle East ally and remind people that the vast majority of Americans understand that Hamas is our common enemy.”
What Deutch is really saying between the lies and misinformation is that there will be a well-funded and staffed effort to stifle criticism of Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinians using a narrative that portrays the Israelis as victims of Arab terror, an assertion which might well be described as Zionist propaganda and fact twisting. The attacks on free speech at universities will definitely be on the agenda, in a campaign that started several months ago, when students at a number of public and private universities began protesting over Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilians, leading to a death toll that is almost certainly currently approaching or exceeding 20,000 when all the corpses are dug up from the rubble of bombed buildings.
As the anti-Palestinian narrative took shape in political, media and Zionist circles, it adopted a familiar line, which goes something like this though with slight adjustments to reach target audiences: Israel is the Jewish state. If you criticize the Jewish state and/or Zionism you are therefore by the definition accepted by the US government State Department Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism an antisemite. Antisemitism is a “hate crime” since it is by the same logic based on hatred of Jews. If you advocate or argue for any Palestinian group like Hamas, which the US government has conveniently labeled “terrorist” even though it has never threatened Americans, you are providing “material assistance to terrorism” which is a crime for which you can be fined or imprisoned. The end result is that Israel, which is immune from the consequences of its own actions internationally, also increasingly cannot be criticized at all without serious consequences for the critic, which have included posting the names of protesting students on lists of alleged antisemites so they will be unable to find work after they graduate. In other words, freedom of speech in the United States and also in some European countries including France and Germany only exists, insofar as it does, if you are not disparaging Israel or even its friends due to their easily demonstrable “war criminal” behavior.
Some of those consequences of not rolling over for the Israel Lobby were experienced recently by three presidents of prominent American universities, responding to a congressional December 7th grilling that was set up to address concerns over allegations that colleges are hotbeds of antisemitism and are responsible for major increases in incidents targeting Jews. The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania Liz Magill, Harvard Claudine Gay and MIT Sally Kornbluth were grilled by Congress but were afterwards trashed because they were unwilling to agree with the congressional interrogators that Jews were being terrorized on campus, observing that words must have a physically threatening or harassing “context” if they are to be banned or blocked.
The responses of the three women suggesting that speech should remain free on campus were found to be unacceptable by Congress and the largely Zionist media. Magill has since resigned, joined by the chairman of the university board of trustees Scott Bok, who was immediately replaced by Julie Beren Platt, head of the Jewish Federations of North America, who has been named interim board chair. But politicians joined by prominent commentators and philanthropists still continue to call for the others to resign as well, though Harvard’s Gay has received a vote of confidence from her board and also from faculty and students. Many major Jewish donors have coupled those “calls” with threats that their multi-million dollar gifts would be withdrawn if the presidents stay on. In one example, Penn lost a $100 million donation from Ross Stevens, who pulled it after the hearing. Those seeking to punish appear to be undeterred by the fact that their actions have already sparked discussions about unacceptable levels of Jewish power, often including the observation how promise of money or denying it is used as an instrument to obtain what Israel and its Lobby want.
There is a certain irony in the allegations since Jews in America are the wealthiest, best educated, most politically powerful, most prestigiously employed and most protected by Homeland Security of all ethno-religious demographics. And there is not much real evidence that Jews are in any way increasingly “victims” in the United States or in Europe. The antisemitic incidents that are “surging” are frequently based on criticisms of what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians and often consist of a Jewish college student being offended or annoyed by a poster or a speaker criticizing Israeli behavior. Instances of actual physical confrontation are few and far between and are immediately reported in the accommodating mainstream media to heighten the sense that Jews in America and even worldwide are threatened. Certain groups like the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) are heavily into the promotion of the narrative of Jew hatred as it is in their bottom line to do so given their donor base which likes to hear exactly that.
In other words, what one reads and hears about “surging antisemitism” is largely a contrivance to obtain political and economic benefits as well as a free pass on bad behavior both by Israel and domestically that might not otherwise be forthcoming. And it should be noted in passing that the Israel Lobby groups have somehow avoided registering with the Department of Justice, as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) of 1938, which would require them to maintain transparency over their funding and political activity. The last American president who tried to register what became the Israel Lobby and also sought to stop Israel’s illegal secret nuclear weapons program was John F. Kennedy. Some suspect that Israeli interests might have played a part in his assassination as a result.
Some congressmen have been particularly incensed by student pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanting “Intifada” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” interpreting both expressions being calls for the destruction of Israel, which they are not. Intifada is “shaking off” in Arabic and is a call for liberating the Palestinian people and their land from the Israeli tyranny. The “river to sea” is somewhat similar, a call for a Palestinian state with actual sovereignty and neither is an explicit call for killing Israelis or Jews. They might be considered generic cries for freedom.
But the real mystery in this is why is it happening at all? Jews are supposed to be smart but is it smart to reveal how much power you have, particularly when you are prepared to wield it ruthlessly to suppress people who just might begin to wonder if there is something going on that is being deliberately contrived to benefit a tiny percentage of the US population and a foreign government? And if that kind of thinking catches on, which I believe it already has, there might be serious discussions of ways to counter the efforts to limit free speech and association for citizens who are not comfortable with the way Israel behaves and the way the US Israel Lobby silences critics. Instead of trying to criminalize what people are thinking, wouldn’t it be smarter and even more ethical for American Jews to call on Israel to stop the killing and work out some formula that allows the Palestinians at least a modicum of self-government and freedom? That would seem to make sense and many Jews in the US are actually making that argument. The problem is to also convince the hard core and well financed Jewish groups that support Israel no matter who it has to kill that learning to live together with equal rights is the way to go. And then we must convince the know nothings in the Biden Administration and idiots in Congress like Senator Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio…

Isn’treal is antisemitic. Since the Palestinians are semites. The jews wantbto guilt everyone into believing they are blameless for the reactions they cause in others.
It’s true that Israel is a mafia of white supremacy who are anti -Semitic. The white Jews hate everyone in the middle east and have murdered, stolen, and deceived, wherever they’ve been. Always the white supremacy claims “victimhood” for themselves. The white Jews have been “victims” since their inception in 600AD. Everywhere they’ve been they claim “victimhood”.
Have you ever looked up anti-Semitic in a dictionary? It’s hard to see how Israel or your so-called white Jews qualify. It’s always meant hostile to Jews; why do you want to redefine it? It’s bad enough that the IHRA wants it to mean critical of Israel, without these perverse attempts to make it mean hostile to Semitic peoples generally.
Go to the back of your dictionary, svay, and look up Semite and Semitic.
If you are using the Oxford Reference Dictionary (my choice for definition, given it is the English people’s baseline) you will discover that it is a linguistic classification that includes Arabs, Jews, Assyrians, Babylonians and other regional populations.
European ‘antisemitism’ was just a branch of Teutonic/Nordic Anglo-Saxon narcissistic white supremacist hubris. The Irish fell into their hate-net as the ‘mere Irish’ (the pigmentation being insufficiently melanin-dipped for their colour coding).
Thus antisemitism was not restricted to the Jewish sect ‘chosen people’ who hijacked it and weaponised it against their fellow Semitic Arabs in collaboration with the British Israelism originating with the 16th century Puritan brainwave that they must be a ‘lost tribe of said ‘chosen people’ (synonymous, as it sorta makes you the apple of god’s eye, with ‘master race’) to crown the tribal heirarchical collective delusion of superiority to all lesser mortal untermenschen.
Anti is a prefix meaning ‘against’, so semantically to confine the term strictly to a dominant class/sect of the Judaic profession of faith is a distortion of language that needs ironing out if we are to think straight about the issue.
For further illustration of such monoplosing of linguistic terminology I think you might find the Jewish linguist Victor Klemperer’s ‘Language in the Third Reich’ enlightening.
He lost his position in Munchen university under the Nazi regime, but survived because his wife was of a prominant ‘Aryan’ family where blind eyes can always be turned to exceptions disturbing to totalitarian certitudes.
I hope that doesn’t further muddy these murKKKy waters.
Why on earth would I look up Semite and Semitic to find the meaning of anti-Semitic?
And your favourite Oxford Reference Dictionary happens to be the only dictionary I’ve come across that takes the trouble to specifically point out that anti-Semitism only applies to hostility toward Jews:
OVERVIEW
anti-Semitism
QUICK REFERENCE
Hostility towards and discrimination against Jewish people (although there are other Semitic peoples, notably the Arabs, anti‐Semitism is only used to refer to prejudice against Jewish people).

“..in collaboration with the British Israelism originating with the 16th century Puritan brainwave that they must be a ‘lost tribe of said ‘chosen people’..
This observation made me laugh, because it so well encapsulates the ridiculousness of the total joke that is Calvinism / Puritanism and its preposterous foundation on the laughable principles of the ”elect” / predestination.
When the Salem Puritan’s were not busy crushing a man to death with stones to get his confession to being a witch/warlock, they were quite certain that they themselves were the ‘Elect’, and that – although no certain means existed to assess who else was ‘elect’ – anyone who seemed non-elect could not be treated on an equal admittance to their services. I guess you could blame their slaves (Tituba for starters..) for the actual witchcraft hysteria that these delusionals were so prone to, although you would then have to blame them for keeping slaves, which, well… ‘can of worms’ as they say..
Whenever I hear one of these nonsensical diatribes of how the USA was founded on the values of the ‘Puritans’ or Pilgrims, who were so morally chaste and provided such a crucial example of religiosity, it occurs to me that if you dont start off from a place where actual fact is your guide, then whatever myth, lunacy or schemes that suit your purposes fill that role.
I think any sort of inquiry needs to start off with what you actually KNOW, and only from there can you progress into what is unclear, mysterious, uncertain or open to question.
If you start of with the nonsense that all human populations WANT to believe (I am better/superior/more loved by a creator/entitled to special status) and then work out from that position, you will always end up deceiving yourself and anyone else that listens to you, because you started with what was most optimal to your own purposes, and refused to consider anything that failed to comport with your own warped beliefs.
This is a pretty good article in a general sense as well, because it makes a point that I noted on my gym treadmill with dueling cable channels all breathlessly spending hours on claims of ‘Antisemitism’. What popped into my head is the concept of ‘less is more’, which is beyond the conceptualization of someone who is completely obsessed with their own ethnic or tribal identity.
They had reported on a recent poll in which, to no surprise, aged Boomers were extremely pro-Israel, while anyone under 35 (if I recall correctly) had little interest in supporting Israel, which supposedly indicated ‘Antisemitism’.
For myself, I have never thought about a desire to support New Zealand, or any other foreign state for which I actually share some common heritage with the founding population, and for most younger Americans / Europeans, Israel does not even meet the irrelevant status of New Zealand – it is synonymous with gross misdeeds and abuse.
No Arab or Muslim has ever hacked my phone or computer, no Muslim or Arab has ever harassed my Employer to destroy me economically (or to pretend they had some role in obtaining a replacement job, for that matter), no Muslim or Arab has ever sought to blackmail me or my elected officials, no Muslim or Arab has even run a Kompromat ring using abused children..
While it is important to note that the vast majority of Jews have no role in any of this and probably strongly oppose such acts in many cases, the fact that the point of ‘diminishing returns’ has now been reached in which the only remaining persuadable audience that you can sway are diabetic boomers on Social Security, wiping the last shards of donut frosting from their lips in between appeals from the Ecksteins for cash, should send you a signal that the best cure for what you are terming Anti-Semitism is to hold those openly accountable for the damage that they have wantonly inflicted and prevent future abuses.
Hi Woopy, there is no such thing as “WHITE JEW” .. they are Middle Eastern, but YES, there are WHITE ZIONISTS from Europe who guided Hitler to commit genocide of innocent Jews.. Its them Zionists who are now controlling & occupying Palestine.. Do you know that because of these Zionists in the occupied land of Palestine, they, the Middle Easterns, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Kuwait, Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris etc including Palestinians are considered “WHITE” ; if it was not then them Middle Easterns including Israeli Zionists would have been BROWNIES or NON-WHITES; Its also applied for jobs etc in USA as them all are WHITES; not Hispanics, M.Eastern or Asians etc;
Nonsense. See any dictionary: the English word antisemitism has always meant hostility toward Jews.
Unfortunately the actions of Shylock and Fagin types through the ages, have cemented an anti Jewish attitude in every society where they happened to settle. This is their historic background, long before the creation of the political Zionist ideology was created at the end of the XIX century. It’s in their DNA as well as other highly positive tendencies of great value to humanity. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde packaged into one human group.
It goes even further back, to the Roman imperial occupation of Palestine when the Semites were the Asian peoples speaking non-Latin Semitic languages, the hostile natives.
The early Christian Roman persecutions gave way to their deification of this Jewish heretic; renditioned, tortured and terminated ‘with extreme prejudice’ under Pilate at temple high priest Caiaphas’s demand (anything to keep ye olde Pax Romana).
Once deified the priestcraft could ‘interpret’ his recorded ‘gospel truth’ and weaponise his teachings as a pacifying doctrine of subjugation, rather than amplifying his call for justice.
There followed the Roman attribution of this death to ‘the Jews’ generally…a useful tool for when this literate and numerate coherent tribe got too uppity for the feudal aristocracies and monarchs appointed by ther same god to instal his ‘rules based order’.
Historically their fellow semitic Arabs, despite, collissions, seem to have been less brutal to them, possibly due to Mohamed’s seeing Christians and Jews as fraternal ‘peoples of the book’.
Scapegoats are useful for tribal cohesion, you simply externalise the ‘evil’ threat onto a convenient outsider (language, colour, or other differentiation serves to distinguish that ‘otherness’).
I mentioned the literary characters by Dickens and Shakespeare as the archetype of Jewish avarice and rapacity as samples known to many people.
Those characteristics have been present in the Jewish psyche from their earliest appearance in history. It is even present in tales of humor such as this:
‘A parturient Jewish woman was having great difficulty in giving birth, one rabbi present at the scene suggested an infallible method thus: Bring a gold coin close to the woman’s belly and the reluctant baby will come out to grub it. So they did, and the baby came out grubbed the coin and went back in’. Vicious little bastard.
Note to svay.
Dictionaries are written by individuals, or teams of academics and are extremely useful for clarifying our terms in argument and debate.
These individual tend to be embedded in the privileged levels of societies and carry their perspectives (sometimes imperial and monocular) into their explications.
I recommend Ambrose Bierce’s ‘Devil’s Dictionary’ for a sideways take on semantic fluidity.
Until recently, the English words antisemitism, antisemite and antisemitic, with or without capitals or hyphens, have always been about hostility to Jews. Unless you’re aware of examples prior to this century where they were used to include hostility toward Arabs, I don’t see the point in your comment. (I say ‘Until recently’ and ‘prior to this century’ because we now have the IHRA trying to include criticism of Israel, and on the other hand attempts to extend them to Phoenicians, Akkadians and Arabs.)
As for sideways semantics, you mght like this:

I checked that ‘smirkers’…not a patch on Bierce.
Just to make you learn english with DUE respect, this is what ANTISEMITISM means:
an·ti-Sem·i·tism … anˌtīˈseməˌtizəm, ˌan(t)ēˈseməˌtizəm]
NOUN
hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people
PLEASE DON’T TRY TO DECIEVE & MISGUIDE PEOPLE .. ITS THE DNA OF ZIONISTS.
I keep encountering commenters, on this and other websites, insisting it means hostility toward Semitic peoples, though none have managed to produce an example of this usage prior to the current century. Nowadays, of course, they could cite their own and each other’s comments, in addition to which Zionists are promoting the new IHRA definition which includes criticism of Israel.
“Why on earth would I look up Semite and Semitic to find the meaning of anti-Semitic?” svay, above.
To get to the root of the meaning of the kernel word the ‘anti’ prefix qualifier refers to; and so to understand the semantic content of the terms in use, in the interests of escaping from circular sematic unnecessary distractions from the issue we should all be trying to clarify rather than obfuscate, which is ever the aim of the abusers of power who divide our humanity into falsified differences in order to rule at our comon expense.
Am I naive in thinking that a good enough reason for delving a little deeper than the received wisdom of the collective confusion?
Yes, I think you are.
Meanings depend on how words are used. If you’re going to analyse them in terms of prefixes, ignoring their histories and usages, then:
antibodies are harmful to the body
antimony isn’t an element; it’s a synonym for few
anti-particles can’t be particles
the Antilles must be opposite the LLes, which are in the middle of the Indian Ocean
and antique is the opposite of what
The meaning of antisemitism is not important. The real issue is that Jewish/Israeli are committing atrocities on innocent civilians. Our gutless paid prostitutes of politicians are contributing to the slaughter where filling their pockets has no moral standing.
We as world population are in deep trouble.
If Biden was so concerned about civilian casualties why doesn’t he instruct the Israelis to open the gates of the Gaza death camp and allow non combatants ( women, children, elderly, disabled, foreign nationals) to exit to the West Bank? Is this construed as anti-Semitic policy? The Zionist lobby in the US needs to be dismantled because it has become anti-humanity.
I am very surprised Doug that you are unaware of the open and public statement by Netanyahu, other Zionist leaders, and even pro Israel American politicians and other characters , where they declared that Palestinians MUST be exterminated as vermin, who can possibly make that up?
You haven’t heard about it, no matter where these people go they will be sought and destroyed by any means. The whole of Palestine must be Israel’s Lebensraum as Eastern Europe was to Hitler.
“Currently Israel is involved in a conflict with Hamas in Gaza that it has described as a “war”….”
Wrong. ‘israel’ is involved in a genocide and ethnic cleansing. Not a conflict. Not a war. Not complicated. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing
LONG LIVE PALESTINE
LONG LIVE RESISTANCE
END THE GODDAMN OCCUPATION
When conversations concern Jews, for some reason everyone remembers the Holocaust and the extermination of the Jews. But no one remembers the Russian Holocaust. Ask any American how many Russians were killed in the Talergof and Theresienstadt concentration camps? Americans don’t know this. They also don’t know how many Russians died in the German Stamlager concentration camps. More than 6 million, that is, more than the Jews who died during the war. Nobody remembers this, just as they don’t remember the deaths of 20 million Chinese killed by the Japanese during the war. And do you know why? Because the Russians and Chinese are bad, and you can do whatever you want with them. But you can’t do this to the Jews because they are good, and everyone should repent before them because they suffered from the Holocaust. And now good Jews are slaughtering Arabs in Palestine with the approval of the United States.
The bombing of Palestine surpasses even the “humanitarian bombing” of Belgrade in terms of cynicism. When the United States and NATO allies introduced “humanitarian forces” into Yugoslavia and bombed the capital Belgrade for several days (Operation Allied Force 1999).
