"Antisemitism" was a term cooked up by an anti-Jewish bigot, who considered "Jew" to be a single (semitic) race. This is clearly a falsehood, that's since become a thought-terminating cliché, and subsequently weaponized by the Zionism and Holocaust-Industry.

Some Jews, particularly Sephardic and Middle Eastern (Mizrahi) Jews, are clearly Semitic people. Peoples from Eastern Europe, who converted long after the divinely decreed expulsion and diaspora from Palestine - are much less credibly described, as being "semites".

Meanwhile, the Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese and Yemini victims of the Zionist AbomiNation State, are undeniably semites, in almost every case. So why isn't the Zionist AbomiNation "anti-semitic", for persecuting and murdering them?

Rather than continuing to fall into this linguistic and ideological TRAP - how about we just agree, as intelligent people, to abandon the use of that nonsensical term, entirely.

Where we mean anti-Jewish Bigotry or Racism why don't we just use that terminology, instead? Bigotry is bigotry - racism is racism. We don't need a synthetic terminology, that creates a special category for bigotry or racism, but only when it affects one special group, whose sufferings are symbolically made somehow worse and different, simply because they're considered to be worth more than all other groups.

We must ask ourselves why this special category of bigotry and racism, is considered to be so much worse, than all other forms. Why don't we have a special regime of plans, to deal with bigotry and racism - when it's directed against Palestinians, or Aboriginal Australians, or any other group?

So basically Ashkenazi Jews bought into the Nazi promulgated myth that they were a separate race, rather than just Europeans who had a different religion than the majority even if a fraction of them had a fraction of Semetic blood once upon a time. And hence Zionism was birthed, claiming Jews were indeed a separate race of people, and the Nazis were indeed right about that part and that they need a separate "safe" homeland away from anti-semetic Europeans (who they definatley were not) but wanted a European style culture and government in the middle of another inconvienently located culture and people (who never even heard of antisemetism and are ACTUALLY SEMETIC THEMSELVES). Then they forced that ideology onto (some, gullible) Separdic and Mizrahi Jews and most of guilt-ridden white Christendom through various nefarious tactics. Yep. Aryans are the "master race" but Jews are "God's Chosen People". Got it. It would make the most hilarious multi-century Shakesperean comedy if people (especially those inconvienent ones who resist so much!) weren't being killed by the tens of thousands.

I would distinguish between Torah-faithful Jews (many of them Ashkenazi/Europeans - like the Satmars and the Neturei Karta - https://NKusa.org ) and the Zionists who bought into the Nationalistic, Idolatrous Heresy of the political "Zionism" movement. All the Rabbis who followed the Torah and Jewish traditions of thousands of years rejected Zionism, as a Satanic Rebellion against the Almighty. And it was actually started by atheists, working in league with anti-Jewish bigots, and Luciferian Occultists - so that seems like 'a fair cop'.

Zionists were a very small group initially - which grew some, after the creation of their AbomiNation STATE, through the NAKBA, and support from the Empire and the UN Security Council. It was only after the theft of Jerusalem and occupation of the West Bank, in 1967, that their propaganda made Zionism majority-popular, amongst world Jewry.

Long before the German National Socialists arrived, Jews have always believed that they were a separate group: the group specifically chosen by their Biblical god Yahweh/Jehovah, as long as they remained loyal to that god. This helps to explain why they generally exterminated the people they conquered, rather than merging the groups. That is why they consistently avoid fully assimilating into the societies in which they live today, where they form a minority. They always see themselves as separate, and that is not only a Jewish trait but can be seen in other groups with a strong tribal attitude such as Roma (Gypsy) and Black American. They always see themselves as separate, and usually as victims of the larger society. That creates a self-reinforcing boundary based on antagonism between members of those minority groups and the broader societies in which they live. Which then contributes to the forward continuation of a separate identity as well as continued tension with the larger out-group society.

All this stuff about how Arabic and Bedouin people are Semitic is a distraction and beside the point entirely. Because, as you pointed out early in your comment, the notion of Anti-Semitic was promoted by a Wilfred Marr, a German in the late 19th century who was himself a Jew.

According to Wikipedia, "he introduced the idea that Germans and Jews were locked in a longstanding conflict, the origins of which he attributed to race—and that the Jews were winning. He argued that Jewish emancipation resulting from German liberalism had allowed the Jews to control German finance and industry. Furthermore, since this conflict was based on the different qualities of the Jewish and German races, it could not be resolved even by the total assimilation of the Jewish population." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Marr)

Further, "In 1879 Marr founded the League of Antisemites (Antisemiten-Liga), the first German organization committed specifically to combating the alleged threat to Germany posed by the Jews and advocating their forced removal from the country.

"The Pan-German League, founded in 1891, originally allowed for the membership of Jews, provided they were fully assimilated into German culture. It was only in 1912, eight years after Marr's death, that the League declared racism as an underlying principle. Nevertheless, Marr was a major link in the evolving chain of German racism that erupted into genocide during the Nazi era."

I always think of lobbyists as the whispers that never cease and become like radio static you can't ignore so... you turn off the radio and get peace. Jewish lobbyists are like that, it goes on and on and on. Until you turn it off there's no peace, even when you do what they keep whispering they don't stop because there's always something else they want from you. Time for all leaders to turn them off if you want peace in your country because Zionists will not stop until you have.

They love wars, as ling as somekne else is fightjng them, even with a people who have no matching weapons. They will, and have, push until you invade a country they want to control. Why do you suppose so many sneak into positions where their whispering can get the best results for the Jews/ Zionists even to the point of marriage?

Don't believe the latest about Jews not being zionists and zionists not being Jews, they are interconnected and the worldwide Jewish support for Israel tells us that they are one - more than they want us to know. In their superiority self-belief they see all others as too stupid to work out their games, think again, we are onto you.

As for these so-called attacks, it's odd that anyone who wanted to hurt people would only set fire to one door - at the front when everyone knows places of worship always have more than one door. And the "attacks" always come when the movement against the genocide of Gazans is getting louder.

Caitlin is a smart person—until it comes to the Jews.

She can’t speak the full truth. She claims the system lies to us about everything, yet there’s always this one damn exception.

The truth is coming, and it will debunk this supremacist, racist narrative about “superiority” of Jews. The more you try to hide it, the more people will speak out.

Anyone who thinks they’re “chosen by God” is sick and racist.

Anyone who believes God is some real estate agent handing out land—there lies the root of the problem, not the bunch of clownish puppets you call politicians.

It is to do with influence. Cunning, well planned influence over decades, the same scenario for all the Western fellow travellers.

Just remember the example of the turnout for the 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz. It was bigger than the celebration of the end of WWII. A perfect example of influence in the extreme.

How they must have known then that their planned success was just around the corner.

And having Trump as their errand boy? What a scorecard.

It is this fact together with the mindless belief that they are 'God's Chosen People'.

Add that together with a most effective intelligence service for over 50 years called Mossad who probable know more about the White House brigade that they know about themselves, knowing of the latitude they have been given as these powers expanded over time. They probably know what Trump had for breakfast this morning.

I could mention Epstein and all that stuff, but it will be hard to prove with Trump making it appear as a minor offence with papers withheld and therefore the real truth about the likelihood of Trump's blackmail by Israel never seeing the light of day.

UNLESS TRUMP STEPS OUT OF LINE. Very unlikely. He's loving the power and the glory, the daily foodstuffs for megalomaniacs.

But Netanyahu owns him, totally. Trump's occasional bursts of 'I will decide what Israel does next' just a piece of amateur theatre for a naive American population. And it works.

The recent elections in the USA clearly indicating that there are lot of naive voters about. When you can tolerate hundreds of millions coming from Adelson & Co, there is something seriously wrong with the Constitution about which everyone has such faith.

I'd also say moral absolutism is a terrible danger most especially now that we live in a multipolar political ecosystem where no single power as the ability to force its vision for order on the rest. It's time for a more reined-in and sensible FP, and time for western countries to actually try to get their own houses in order.

Inequality is a terrible ill, and it fucks even the guys at the top in the end. They should look to what happened in France and Russia when the whole burden for paying for everything was forced on the people.

Haha, do I detect some sarcasm there, Nick))

Those ideas are great. Forcing them on the whole world and the weaponising of them is where it starts to fall apart. And now that we live in a multipolar political ecosystem the sort of moral absolutism that sustains the liberal order becomes particularly deadly. The liberal order no longer has the power or the legitimacy to tell countries like Russia and China what to do. Continuing to try to do so, as the Democrats insisted on doing, will just end in WW3.

The next world order will be based on moral compromise and middle-ground solutions. And I hope that the Liberal World can just try to focus on getting its own house in order and keeping it that way. Telling countries what rights they should care about and when they don't do as the west wants using it as a pretext to invade contadicts the very liberal thinking western countries purport to care about. This also only ever makes the countries subjected to it worse, and the world a more dangerous place.

So, yeah, the ideas you talk about are great for Europe and North America, but we need to uphold them and protect them there, and not try to spread them any longer. Most especially now when doing so will bring us into direct and repeated conflict with China, Russia and a few others.

What "truth" about Jews is Caitlin missing?

There are about 7M Jews in the USA. Just over 30K of them are members of Jewish Voices for Peace.

Wasn't it the tale of Sodom and Gomorra where some biblical character plead with God to spare the city if there was only one "Just Man".

Are you saying that "the Truth" is that all Jews should be eliminated? That the Jewish Religion should be banned.

I acknowledge the "First Nations". I also acknowledge the "Native Hawaiians" and the "Native Americans". So now what? What does justice look like?

Once again, I turn to China. They seem to have absorbed the Uyghurs and the Tibetans. I'm sure there are many who will violently disagree.

It's the Oligarchy who is our enemy, not the Jews. Ask Chris Hedges.

So many Truman‑programmed bots in this thread they don’t even deserve a reply.

The irony is breathtaking… the world builds Holocaust museums on every corner, canonizes Israel as the “only democracy in the Middle East,” and hands it a blank check to starve, bomb, and bulldoze Palestinians for 75 years. Meanwhile, anyone who dares to state the obvious gets smeared as “antisemitic.”

And what’s the price of this? They don’t even see the point. They act like obedient slaves, or toss out brain-dead replies that have nothing to do with my comment—like the root of the problem “there’s no God” 🤣. I honestly feel sad for them and the level of brainwashing they’re trapped in.

You are the one who should shut up and fuck off. This isn’t for a brainwashed person like you. As I said, you’re a hopeless case. If you can’t see how this system favors the Jews and protects them—allowing them to kill Palestinians for eight decades while still being called “the only democracy in the Middle East”—then there’s no hope for you.

You’re a racist because you ignore the genocides that happened to almost every other people on Earth except the Jews. Oh, do you even know what German soldiers did in Namibia before they became Nazis? They raped and killed nonstop for four years, the stories there were way worse than what happened in Germany. Back then, the Nazi system didn’t need to hide the full picture from soldiers or give them “shift tasks” to avoid guilt—they didn’t feel guilty in Namibia at all. But of course, that never got your attention. Why? Because you believe Jews are a superior race.

Or how about the tens of millions lost in the so-called slave trade? Why isn’t even 1% of that covered in Hollywood compared to what’s done for the Jews? And why is there no mention of other minorities—even white Germans—who were also killed in concentration camps?

Why does every fucking Western school and history book present the Holocaust as the only tragedy that ever happened? What about the French Holocaust against Algerians? The British against Indians? Why are Algerian rebel skulls still kept in some French museums? Where’s the compensation for all the other races who suffered genocide?

And yet you still don’t see it? Or when idiots like you say “Zionists hide behind Judaism,” you’re just admitting it: because they are Jews, they can steal Palestinian land? Ethically cleanse everyone!!!

I could write pages exposing this sick, racist narrative about the Jews superiority. But this isn’t for you. This is for other readers—people who are ready to face the truth.

But it quickly turns annoying when every time we bring facts to the table about the Jews in occupied Palestine “Israel”, you dodge them and find some “nice alternative” to blame.

I get it. Perspectives don’t change overnight. But here’s a little tip: the same way you look at us as “stupid” for believing in God is exactly how we see atheists—as absurdly naïve when they think everything in existence just came together by chance. Even Stephen Hawking himself admitted it—there is something, a Creator.

the term 'so' seems to be used incorrect. one can not conclude from my previous comments that i 'believe that if there were no religion, there would be no more wars'. you seem to be setting up a strawman argument, as is supported by your next sentence ('I hope not because that has to be the dumbest statement ...').

iirc, your initial comment referenced jews in general (seemingly your "nice alternative"), not just in palestine. i am not familiar with the 'we' yet. which group do you represent?

i am aware that some religious people regard atheists as stupid. deepseek concludes (to the question: 'did stephen hawking ever say or admitted there is something, a creator?'): "hawking never admitted belief in a creator. his early references to "god" were metaphorical, and his mature position was firmly atheistic, grounded in scientific naturalism. he maintained that the universe's existence is fully explained by physical laws, requiring no divine intervention. as summarized in his final book, brief answers to the big questions: "there is no god. no one directs the universe"."

i am quite paranoid, though, and would believe that the jewish state would pay people (preferably jews, but also others) to go spread genuine antisemitism on the internet, like they committed terrorist acts in surrounding arab countries to make the jews flock to palestine.

i don't specifically like the tone you're using either, habibi, but i thought mine was still quite acceptable.

First Nation people in Australia don't have a voice because they're not sitting on the US deep state's (ie fossil fuels, arms, animal ag, pharma, tech and media) unsinkable aircraft carrier in a fossil fuel rich region. Because they are not white Europeans and Americans. Because their land and resources have already been taken away by the white man. Because they do not help maintain the US deep state's primacy. Because what they're saying, ie pointing out the climate crisis and imbalance between humanity and the ecosystem, does not align with deep state's extractive, exploitative growth driven profit model.

No. It's not about the "jews". It's about the western block or cabal which includes israel. This imperialist, colonialism and capitalist western block is attempting to maintain its global hegemony. Israel is a mere extension of Western interests in the Middle East and its dream for a greater Israel to rule all of the Middle East fits into western hegemonic interests. Gaza/ palestinian resistance serves to disrupt these plans so they must be destroyed but also to make an example of them for others resisting western hegemony. Further, in order to isolate Iran both globally and from brics (the overarching goal is to weaken/ isolate china) the axis of resistance (hamas, ansarallah, hezbollah, Iraqi resistance, Syria) must be destroyed. (Whether ukraine, gaza, Iran or Taiwan, all roads lead to china).

The origins mythology justifying a zionist Jewish state is just that: mythology. All settler colonies (Canada, USA, New Zealand, and central/ south america) have their own origin mythologies to justify their existence (by rewriting their histories which are spread through our history classes, indoctrinating us), hide the violence/ atrocities/ genocides that occurred at the origin (which continue into the present in other forms) and rewrite racist nationalist histories to propagandize and manipulate settlers to be indifferent to or to do unspeakable acts against indigenous peoples.

I think that there are no western states that can behave like real democracies. One of the red lines drawn by Genocide Joe Biden was to not tolerate anyone who called the war in Ukraine a provoked conflict. This anti-historical posture is the essence of authoritarianism. The American Empire has dispensed with norms and conventions, and is now legislating the meanings of words. “Anti-semitism” is the new “unprovoked.” In NATO, I believe the Slovenian president and Victor Orban in Hungary, and a former Croatian PM have all insisted that the war in Ukraine didn’t begin in February of 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. That took some courage, and risked ostracism and the loss of some privileges, but all one has to do is look at what defending a lie has done to Europe. By all indications, a massive number of Europeans agree with the few leaders who took a stand. Starmer and Macron and Merz are occupying seats of power against the will of their peoples. The EU is fracturing. The empire can’t afford to pretend to care. Feigning legitimacy is practically over. Narrative control is ebbing, and overt power is the new norm. Who will emerge as a sane voice of reason? I think they have already stood up. Putin and Xi and Pedeshkian are defending their respective nations, and watching the empire implode. Their leadership is remarkable and restrained. When could Americans ever say that about their own leaders?

From that perspective, it also involves what Israel can and cannot do to Palestinians in Garza . The presence of money in the military is primal in what wars are fought, or not fought.

No, you still don't get it. It's not the importance or neccessity of money that is the problem (everyone understands these basics - it is pointless to keep mentioning such defaults of human civilizations).

The issue is YOUR pre-occupation with 'money' and YOUR relationship to 'money'. I don't see anyone else talking about 'such basics' in any substacks that I have read (or their comment sections), other than you.

I think you may need to do some self-reflection to figure out 'what it is about your relationship with the concept of money' that 'causes you to inject it almost all the time into every subject' (even when such basics are irrelevant to the discussion or the context/subject being discussed).

To give you an analogy of what I mean, imagine if I talked about 'how humans breathe the oxygen in the air ALL the time, everytime, where-ever they are, where-ever they go, and whatever they do - regardless of their ideologies'. That statement seems pretty basic, redundant, and in some ways even absurd, right? Your 'talk of money' for 'anything and everything' comes across that way too.

Chang,

The absence of money causes homelessness, and homeless modifiable have as much right to live as you do.

We have been told by Israelis that they have a right to defend themselves,. Do homeless people have a right to defend themselves? If yes, then how would they defend themselves? One answer would be to make war against those who would take away their right to exist.. and how do people defend themselves,,,,, with the avaibiliyy of MONEY…

As I learned when I was a kid No Money , No Candy’. I.E., No money, no home,,

TL;DR: Intellectual lazyness comes in many forms. Using simplistic (or black-and-white) narratives as the reason/explanation/cause of all problems (like you do with your MONEY narrative) is ITSELF the problem that prevents deeper thinking and examination of solutions to problems.

EVERYONE knows the problems money causes. Please find me a single individual that is NOT AWARE of anything that you talk about (in the context of money). Maybe you're living in your OWN make believe bubble-world where you think people DON'T understand the issues surrounding money?

You still don't get the SIMPLEST of analogies. Everyone knows humans need oxygen to survive and that the lack of oxygen causes problems. It is a 'taken-for-granted' fact (just like the issues surrounding money is a 'taken-for-granted' fact that everyone is aware of).

Unless you're offering some insights that are not known by others, your constant 'money is the cause of all problems' narrative is not only UNIMAGINATIVE and tirelessly repetitious, but cause enough to IGNORE your comments by default (just as you default to MONEY as the reason for everything).

But I'll go one step further to highlight the 'stuck record about money' that you seem to have lodged in your brain ->

What you exhibit is LAZY thinking (unsure as to your reasons for this lazy thinking). How so? You pick stereotypical cliches/narratives to explain EVERYTHING. Instead of digging deeper and getting your hands (or brain) dirty with 'nuanced-thinking', you prefer the LAZY route of short-circuiting analysis by saying "oh, I know the answer to all the problems facing humanity - it is money. There, problem solved, no need to think any further. I rest my case."

Here are some more examples of 'cliche' narratives and black/white thinking ->

1. Money is the root of all evil and the cause of all problems (John Turcot's PICK)

2. Religions (and/or religious people) are the cause of all problems

3. Secularists (and/or Atheists) are the cause of all problems

4. Belief in God is the reason for the problems

5. NOT believing in God is the reason for the problems

6. Human nature (being what it is) is the reason why this world is fucked up

7. The Government is to blame for everything

8. Capitalism is to blame for all the problems of the world

9. Psychopaths and sociopaths are the reason for why this world is fucked up

10. Greed is the cause for everything wrong with this world

11. Stupid people are the reasons for all the problems

12. Lack of spirituality is the problem

13. Men are to blame for everything

14. Women are to blame for everything

15. Lack of education is to blame for everything

16. Rich people cause all the problems

17. Poor people cause all the problems

18. XYZ ideologies cause all the problems

19. Immigrants cause all the problems

20. People of XYZ color/race cause all the problems

21. Liberals are the problem

22. Conservatives are the problem

23. Socialists/Communists/Marxists/<take-your-pick> are the problem

24. Technology is the cause of all problems

25. Other people are the cause of all problems

26. ....this list goes on....

Picking a simple narrative (like any on the list above and many more not mentioned) to explain away ALL (or even most) of the problems is an EXCUSE, an 'escape-mechanism', an "ok, I don't need to think about this anymore as this XYZ narrative is the root of all problems" permission-slip and cognitive pacifier.

If no one that you are aware of talks about money, when is involved in everything we do as a species, then maybe people should take a deeper look at what money implies, or rather what a lack of money implies.

I’m not obsessed with money, otherwise I would made more efforts to become an Elon Musk of the world. In my view, if we do not look at the absence of money as a problem, we will be unable to resolve the problems of climate change and a potential nuclear war .. for me, both of these existential issues are completely and directly related to money, and its absence. Therefore, in my view, it is important, not only important, but relevant to world issues , including issues such as genocides .

Look, let's just all remember that at least half the jews in "Israel" are Europeans. They are not a Semitic people in the least. Netanyahoo himself is an obnoxious polack bastard. The common attack of antisemitism is all fake. It is the Arabs who are the Semitic people and the "Israelis" are in fact the most antisemitic people on the face of the earth.

Very true, William, and something that warrants never forgetting. Half of them are European colonisers pretending or really believing in a lunatic ideology that says they're the Hebraic People and some lands belonging to the Palestinians and thousands of miles away from where they should be are somehow theirs.

So if we agree that those people are Russian jews, then the question is why are they antisemitic? I don't get it... I have the feeling that Russians are very well educated people. So then why are the jews amongst them so repulsive? Idk. I can't yet resolve it. Maybe they really are just retarded zionists. And happen to be Russian. Or at very least just happen to have Russian passports.

I know a few Russians who live there. Has 0% to do with Russia, in fact they hate Russia and what has happened in Ukraine. (I go into Russia and the Liberal Order more than any other theme in my work, but won't here.)

So they left Russia because they think their country just one day woke up and decided to be evil without any decades-long backstory, and then they decided their best move, to find the civilisation of their dreams, was to go to Israel.

They don't come off as foaming-at-the-mouth Zionists, but what they're doing and supporting is more insidious.

So, yeah, fuck all to do with Russia and Russianness, and all to do with delusion, extremism and a severe lack of a moral compass.

I have an idea that the reason they hate Russia and Russians is that they have an inferiority complex. Alexander Mercouris confirmed this for me in a livestream. What do you think?

Shane Fitzgerald's avatar

I'm not sure if Zionists specifically hate Russia and Russians as such, but it's true that some of the Russian Jews who had such an issue with the war in Ukraine seem to have no issue with Israel.

I think Zionists in general suffer from the strange duality of believing they're better than everyone, but also doubting whether it's really true. A sense of inferiority seems to live innately in most of the manifestations of megalothymia.

Many in the west hate Russia in general with a surprising zeal and ferocity. In the past, the SU was the enemy so some hate was always going to be natural, mixed with fear, both natural and induced. But now it seems to be far more fanatical.

I have a formula for why so many in the west hate Russia so much.

Megaloliberalism + Wokeism + race = Mindless Hate of Russia.

Megaloliberalism is my term for the ideology that sustains the liberal order. That IR and world politics is a game between good, reasonable, kind and civil (liberal) states, and the opposite (illiberal). This reached its acme with the fall of the SU, but multipolarity is putting the sword to it now. One of its main dictates is that IR is subordinate to the internal domestic political system a country has.

Wokeism is the dominant progressive ideology at present. Because of megaloliberalism many people see IR as a reflection of internal politics, and so they see world politics as a game played between woke and unwoke states. Russia is the least woke country and people are free to hate it without worries of race cause it's white.

Race. Russia is seen to be a white country even though it is pretty heterogenous. Liberals of different types of free to hate Russia for all its unwokeness without feeling like they're cultural chauvinists or racists for this reason. These even turn a blind eye to American imperialism, which the old left would never have done, because wokeness is the main factor in deciding whether a state is good or bad.

All this is mixed in with traditional anti-Russia sentiment. It is this that gives it its absolute venom and rage.

Anyway, just some of my thoughts on this, William.

Please never confuse professional excellence and education with humanity, sustainability, survivability, compassion, and altruism. Many well educated and professionally brilliant people are in fact total a$$holes. Germans are good example. Arrogant imbeciles who don't understand anything outside their narrow professions. Uneducated stupid a$$holes (too many in this world) cannot do as much damage as smart but vile Khazarian Askhenazi a$$holes. Russian "jews" historically are mostly old Ukranian (Khazaria) converts of Zelensky type, and they always hated and still hate Russia. In fact, they hate anyone who does not submit to their notion of "chosen people" and jewish supremacy.

"...why are the jews amongst them so repulsive?" - it's rather simple. Like everywhere else they truly believe they are intellectually better, smarter, above everyone else in all things intellect. They are bona fide supremacists admitting as much without saying the word.

As to the fights within them - I knew a couple who are no longer with us: he a Sephardic with roots from current Greece/Macedonia, looking the part too, and she of Eastern European Ashkenazi. She openly said that they - Ashkenazi - considered all other Jews including her husband beneath them. I think she believed it even in her particular case which was as far from reality as one gets.

Russian Ashkenazi are no different - they think they are better than anyone around them. That's how they are brought up, with that firm conviction.

Pretty obvious that Canberra's loyalties are not dedicated to Australians.

It's a blue print to ram through a dictatorship where anything deemed to be eve remotely critical about the interests of empire will automatically be labelled as ''offensive'' to a tunnel vision minority.

This has been the case for a long time. Murdoch bought the Daily Telegraph in 1972, he founded The Australian in 1962.

What I really worry about is not the politicians, but the people. My fellow Australians have become vain, shallow people. I make no claim to be a great person, but even I'm shocked by the state of the public today.

What happened to reading? To exploring the great outdoors? To making our own eggs at home, the game of cricket at the end of the cul-de-sac, innovations like WiFi and cochlear implants? We used to have one of the top three gun club cultures in the world. We used to be something, we used to be an independent polity.

We used to joke about us being the lucky country. Really we knew we made it lucky through the sweat of our brow. Sure, we had our issues, but we were figuring them out. Now we suck Israel's cock, dig up rocks, and stare at our handheld telescreens. I pity those younger than me, they will watch the country burn to the ground. What a shame.

It’s so effective because not only is the label a thought-stopper, but the accused then has to pivot and explain his/her ‘racism’. Any legitimate criticism of Israel is forgotten while the ‘antisemite’ is left with egg on his face.

Correct. We’ll be able to condemn genocide in the abstract but not in the reality that Zionists are committing it in Gaza against Palestinians in 2025. It’s Orwellian.
