Still playing the victim as they've become what they used to fight against.

Great article. All very true. Israel has concealed its crimes by playing the victim and pull the antisemitism card as I document here:

If your commie based diatribe was written on paper I wouldn’t use it for emergency toilet paper hence it might cause an infection..Everyone with a brain knows racists come from your camp.Including Zionists..Perhaps the history you consume is revisionist BS but from my perspective you are just spewing propaganda.

NOT against “Jews” just the ZioNazis

"Israel is no longer treated as a state, as a political actor capable of committing crimes and slaughtering children, but as an article of faith. It is transformed into a belief system, one immune to criticism or scrutiny. It transcends politics to become a sacred cause. And any opposition must be damned as wicked, as blasphemy."

An update of the Crusader KKKristian sacralisation of their imperial pillage across Europe under feudal warlordism a millennium back.

With the added beauty that they are now greenlighting their p£anted Fort Zion to 'defend' the indefensible $£aught€r of the innocents to fulfil one of its original purposes...the garissoning of their sacred oil.

Balfour gave his credit note to Rot$chi£d as Churchill was converting ye o£de roya£ navy from coal- to oil-burning.

Excellent analysis. 👏

Excellent articulation of the kafkaesque bind people like Francesca Albanese find themselves in for calling out a genocide to it's face in solidarity with the liberation struggles of an occupied people, and whose resistance the settler colonial powers stealing oil are desperately trying to suppress by redefining the language through their institutions of memory like the Holocaust Museum, Columbia University, New York Times, etc..

So well expressed! Thanks, Jonathan. It's absurd that being against genocide is supposed to mean that people are anti-semitic.

"The right for all to live in peace and dignity".... That's the cult creed I will follow to my grave.

God, get some momentum going, Cook, but the third paragraph you have to put this in? Undoubtedly, there is a real threat of antisemitism and, as ever, it comes largely from the far right. Israel’s actions – and its false claim to be representing all Jews – only help to stoke it."

Whew, what is it to say, "I am against the Jewish Religion interferring with my x, y and z?" Or, what is it about the Jewish religion, Judaism, TOrah and Talmud, and those extreme and not-so-extreme rabbis? Are they racists? Is Judaism a racist religion? Are Jews racists? Can I hate racists?"

Just move on, please without the rejoinder.

We can hate Ireland as a country and Irish people in the USA or Irish food and whiskey, or the history of Ireland, but it is not a FUCKING BOMB. It's not a blade to anyone's neck. Can I say that, even though I am half-Irish origin?

Saying you hate Catholics doesn't mean you have done anything but say, I HATE Catholics. No pogrom. No laws passed against Catholics. No harm done.

Get real.

Time’s “What Do Israelis Think of the War with Hamas?” includes the following paragraph:

Poll results were also hawkish when it came to the use of force in Gaza: 57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6% said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower, while just 1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure

Let me repeat that. Fewer than 2% of Israeli Jews think the IDF is “using too much fire power” in Gaza.

This poll wasn’t an outlier. During a previous massacre of thousands of Gazan civilians, 2008’s Operation Cast Lead, “a poll taken the day after the start of the operation showed 81 percent of the Israeli public supporting the operation, with only 12 percent opposed.” Since 20 percent of Israel’s population are non-Jewish Arabs who disproportionately opposed the massacre, that means that virtually the entire Israeli Jewish population supported it. Polls during subsequent “mowing the lawn” operations gave similar results.

Thanks for writing, Jonathan.

Jesus himself called out the fake Jews and said they weren’t Jews but belong to the synagogue of Satan.Jesus the son of God and a Jew himself said that.They denied Christ and because of that they are not Gods chosen people anymore. So that should tell you who the world’s politicians are worshipping.

Jesus didn't believe in Satan, as there is no Devil in Judaism. That's a construct that was later added to scare kids into believing.

Ok fine does Jesus believe in Lucifer and the other fallen angels or was that made up to scare children as well ?

I also wonder about every writer throwing a bone to izreel..blah blah hamas was wrong in the way they did this. By killing and hostage taking. My friends there were never big supporters of hamas .Well, whatever about hamas. What would be the correct way to decide 80 years of brutality is enough?Anyone remember the massacres early on, no one has much to say about how izreel went about those.

As one who never bought the anti semite shield of bs, the cult can go to hell. My hatred grows daily. And nauseated at their self appointed “chosen “one status. Another bit of hasbara since they are clearly anything but chosen. Real jews are not heartless, many have also said what you are saying.

Je suis Anti. We are all antisemites now.

The word has lost all meaning (Palestinians are actually semitic too). So let them cry wolf and smeer us.

No one remembers to mention that eastern europeans are not semites and…history of this word is also interesting

Thank you for this excellent article. I have posted links to it on local pro-Palestine group forums.

The Tories, having lost their initial attempts to undermine and isolate pro-Palestine demonstrations in the UK, by labelling them as “hate marches”, now seem determined to criminalise us as “extremists”.

This is part of the continuing impact of the Zionist “re-definition” of “antisemitism”.
