I think suppressing free speech and peaceful demonstrations is more likely going to increase anti-Semitism. We'd do better to stop supplying the IDF with arms and recognising the genocide.

When are people finally gonna wake up and realize that the sun has been rising in the West for decades now...? What do the media, the government have to do to convince them?

What about the feelings of Palestinians who are being massacred? Why is this never brought up? Or the feelings of those who object to what Israel is doing to Palestinians and the powerful of our countries who support Israel? Are only some feelings legitimate?

And here's a new one I recently heard: genocide is a partisan issue. Here in Canada there's one party that clearly names Israel's genocide in Gaza and objects strongly to it. In case you're curious, it's the NDP (New Democratic Party), now led by Avi Lewis.

Caitlin frequently compares the feelings of Jews who think they’re in danger to those of Palestinians who really are, and I applaud her for doing so 👏👏

Shulamit Aloni, former Israel cabinet member- "anti-Semitic, It's a trick we always use it". "When from United States any criticism of Israel we call them Anti semitic. When from Europe we bring up the Holocaust ". "The organization is strong and has lots of money, with ties between Israel and US Jews". Interview from Democracy Now. https://rumble.com/v3bva8o-anti-semitism-is-a-trick-we-always-use-it.html

IMO antisemitism if it exists is the direct response to Zionist Jews, Racist Apartheid, ethno supremacy rant, their genocide, murders, and terrorism these last 80 years. This includes the Bombing of the King David Hotel, Three towers in New York City, the Entire situation in the middle east, and the take over of the US, UK and several EU governments. Rather than address Israel as the enemy it truly is these lying pundits and politicos push the evil Zionist agenda.

Death of the West.

In as much as death to the lies, wars,corruption, and those who make a living by such means. I agree

It's gonna come down to the wire: is the ruling class going to be able to groom AI into a sufficient working class replacement so they can gas us all and be forever safe from violent overthrow, or are they finally going to cross one bridge too far and bring it upon themselves first?

They've got the analysts and A/B testers, but we've got the human spirit. And I've got the popcorn, which I shall be ready at a moment's notice to put down and jump in.

I agree but I also think it’s another way of normalising ways that government can pretty much ban whatever it likes and uses the media to get the peasants to just nod along.

Here in the US the "peasants" are continued to be spied upon by their own government without warrants. FISA voted yet another extension. In addition, kill switches have been ordered on new production automobiles - so they can cut off your transportation remotely with a flip of a switch.

And get this - Republicans are leading the way. Not that Democrats ever do anything significant to stop it.

Interesting how I had not heard about the third non-Jewish stabbing victim nor the fact the attacker had been recently released from psychiatric care. None of that was in any of the coverage I saw. The entire corporate media world is one corrupt psy-op. In the process of such routine misrepresentation and manipulation the whole antisemitism shtick has been stretched and twisted into meaninglessness, which a real danger to Jewish people. It is so important to keep in mind Zionism is not Judaism and that many of the most vocal and critical voices against Zionism and the US/Israel genocides in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran have been Jewish intellectuals and journalists.

The third victim, who was in fact, the first victim. 🙄

I had heard it and posted here on Caitlin's other post. Owen Jones: Worth watching.

The Golders Green stabbings had nothing to do with antisemitism, it was a mentally ill individual, interesting that they studiously ignore mention that he had earlier that day also stabbed his friend who happens to be Muslim. They really are getting desperate, grabbing and twisting any straw! 🤬

Well done for publishing and saying - Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.

And of course they never look at Cause and Affect

"... the assailant had recently emerged from the care of a psychiatric hospital."

For the sake of "context" and "backdrop," the Sky reporter (I hesitate to call her a "journalist") should have speculated on a possible "rise in anti-Semitism" among the loonies in the loony bins. That, at least, would have shown more solid deductive reasoning than her other speculative conclusions.

Scientific Causality: #1: Trump's brain. biologically degenerate cognitive crash superimposed on inherent malignant Narcissism. #2. Succumbs to Bibi's brain born into and nurtured into the sociopathology of chosen-people-ism. Results. A. The Horrors B. Appropriate Anti-Israel fervor C. Corrupt A-holes in media weaponizing "antisemitism"

A relative of mine was a soldier in Vietnam and later became a schoolteacher. Is it time for us to require journalists and Academics to wear military fatigues while on the job? After all, the objectives seem to coincide.

So well explained, written forensically and with such conciseness and clarity. Thanks for your unceasing bravery and morality.

Zionism = antisemitism. Get rid of it and antisemitism will drop dramatically. Zionism endangers Jewish people everywhere.
