I’m afraid to say that this entire brouhaha about antisemitism has ceased to move me whatsoever. I simply detest fucking Israel, its defenders, corporate investors,US government toadies and anyone who is naive enough to not realize that those toadies are on the short leash of the Mossad with blackmail videos aplenty.

I'm with you Vin! The problem for me is that my family (immediate and extended) is full of Israel lovers. I've tried to disown them, but it's proving to be challenging. At least (most) of my friends finally see the light about who/what Israel always was (though it took them too long to get there IMO).

The only hope I currently have is the prospect of a REVOLUTION the size of which human history has never experienced before...

I share that hope, Chang, because anything less will just bounce off the propaganda shield surrounding those Israel lovers.

Vin and Chang, The environment is ripe for a revolution. We the people should rise up without waiting for a leader. There's no Marx or Lenin or Che. Or Mao or a Ho Chi Min on the horizon. But we have plenty of Bertolt Brechts, Ken Saro-Wiwas , Lumumbas, Rosa Luxemburgs, Franz Fanons and all our poets, artists , writers and on and on. And women like Francesca Albanese, who in no uncertain terms explains how the world has gone from an "economy of occupation to an economy of genocide".

We have been asleep, we have been apathetic and let the old colonialists morph into neocolonialists. It has rolled on from the Dutch East India Company to all the big tech multinationals of today finding smarter ways to rule over us.

People should take over the streets in their thousands, invade the spaces of the 'mighty' day in and day out. Use ways and means, also humour to oust the moronic immoral, racist, lazy set of ignoramuses who think they can like some 'gods' ride on the backs of the working class.

Maybe I am ranting and raving because this is all that we have left!

Chang,

I had always hoped that Russia would come to the party and sign some form of agreement to support Iran in case of attack by the parasites. But it didn't happen then and is unlikely to happen now.

Here’s a short clip of John Mearsheimer stating.......

“I think there’s no question that a nuclear-armed Iran would bring stability to the region, because nuclear weapons are weapons of peace, weapons of deterrents…. And if Iran had a nuclear deterrent, there’s no way that the United States or Israel would be threatening to attack Iran, in the same way that if Saddam had had nuclear weapons in 2003, the US would not have invaded Iraq. And if Libya had nuclear weapons in 2011, the US would not have gone to war against Libya. If you had a Middle East where other countries had nuclear weapons besides Israel, you have a more peaceful Middle East.

Sound thinking and hopefully 'on the table'.

I have been criticizing the State of Israel for about 50 years. I have been called an anti-semite even before Israel decided to commit genocide. Criticism of Israel has been forbidden for a while. Now it is getting nuttier. Now the UN special rapporteur is an antisemite too for her criticism of Israel. I am honoured to be in such company.

I've never bought into that stupid definition of anti-semitism. You commit a genocide, people will hate you. End of story. It doesn't matter what religion or nationality or group you're part of.

I consider this redefinition an insult to our intelligence.

Are we all amalek? In the eyes of the powerful, I think so.

I am old and do remeber an era when there were genuine Jew Haters without any reference to Israel in fact an era when Israel was still a mere idea.Those people hated and despised people of color also usually. They were what we would now call racists . Now I think it is sensible if in casual conversation with aJew to enquire what their thoughts on Israel.If they say the feel that Israel has every right to defend itself I would walk away

Someone posted this quote which says it all: "The Holocaust card stops working as soon as you commit one of your own"

And "never again" means that I never want to hear it mentioned ever again.

A fair request, certainly supported by the commenters on these pages.

Let’s put the antisemitic nonsense to bed, once and for all.

We have inquired of the Secretary General of the UNITED NATIONS, domiciled as he is in New York, as to whether our newly formed action group called the 'Anti-Parasitics' (once the frightening and universally hated 'Anti-Semitics') are likely to be on the receiving end of a pogrom by the members of the Trump Ice Brigades in the USA, together with all the other equivalent organisations in the weak white Western countries.

I feel that it is prudent (to be seen to be fair), for me to state, up front, that we have not sprayed paint on any cars or synagogues, never mentioned in a public forum our disappointment at the lack of support for Palestine by Christian countries, have never questioned the details in the wildly exaggerated Hans Christian Andersen type Holocaust history books (printed only in Israel), worn anything that looks as though it was made in Palestine like a Keffiyeh or questioned any aspect of the propaganda (Israeli news reports) about the baby beheading killings by Hamas on October the 7th. To show our fairness, we have never purchased anything made in Israel and that we will continue to ask our parliamentary members in this white Western subservient country to keep supplying military parts for the Genociders in Tel Aviv and those hiding in all the corridors in Washington.

In other words, we will be relatively harmless (so as not to attract too much attention) but will eventually be seen as proud and energetic workers for ''peace in our time”. We are totally motivated by seeking an end to all parasitic actions, (previously Israeli actions), thick on the ground in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, all funded by the Israeli loyalists domeciled in the USA, as well as Miriam Adelson’s unfortunate losing gambling clients, together with 86% of the Netanyahu controlled American politicians, the respected and fully paid for members of both Houses of the USA Knesset in Washington.

We will be self-funded, therefore no monies requested. No chance of corruption either.

As of this date, no response from the UN. Keep tuned.

An attempt to address the humorous (ridiculous) side of antiseptic, (sorry, antiSemitic, the biggest waffle in 2025, Thank you, Western media.

I wonder if our Christian ambassador, Mike Huckabee, can pause a moment from licking Bibi’s boots to visit a village mentioned in the Bible and take a close look at how much hatred Zionist settlers have, not just for Muslims, but for Christians too.

Thanks for the link. It’s pretty mind blowing but not surprising. Sort of like when I found out there are over 100 synagogues in Iran!! So shocking that Netanyahu lied when he said Iranians hate Jews and only want to kill them.

Considering the religious aspect of it all perhaps someone could argue that Israel is hell on earth while Netanyahu [real name Mileikowski] is the antichrist.

Wow thank you for your mention on Somalia, east Africa, USA bombing. I was in Kenya 2016, refugees from “US bombing in Somalia per war on terrorists”, refugees, women with precious cargo. CHILDREN babies, toddlers, grand mothers, aunts, cousins, mothers, sisters, were flocking into Nairobi. https://www.congress.gov *Somalia - Whose paying AFRICOM? www.africom.mil

When any Australians went to Iraq or Afghanistan to join the fight against a murderous invading army, they were arrested on their return to Australia and most likely deported. And not necessarily to their of origin.

I guess it's alright if you're fighting for zionists.

David,

Following a request likely to come from one of the 86% of "paid for" politicians in Washington, I am certain that there will eventually be a plan instituted for all the USA based ex-IDF members to be considered as ex-Servicemen of the USA ...and treated accordingly.

Well, Trump has revealed that he isn't really MAGA with his wild spending on the military, etc..So I'm far to the `right of Trump, and now believe that Israel needs to disappear, his cabinet jailed, and probably will in the next 30 years...or less....

I’ve said this a lot but it can’t be said too often: The Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels ("If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it”) would have been proud of his mentors in the US and Israel… and of course, all of their lapdogs.

A Palestinian/American from Tampa Florida yesterday was beaten to death by terrorist Israeli settlers. Will Debbie Wasserman Shultz and other Florida Israeli Representatives give a shit? No. Make Israel sand. Rebuild Palestine for all.

You say it is not classified that US is bombing Africa but the media does not cover it. But why doesn't the media cover these actions? Because the media receives directives from Homeland Security concerning what it can publish or how much. So it is in a sense classified. To suggest that somehow journalists are fools, not doing their jobs, is misleading. This is their job

Another use of the neologism “antisemitism”, a malformed one, is to separate genocidal racism against Jews from genocidal racism against other people. An act of racism in itself. In this way it becomes unthinkable what is real: the genocidal racism of the great majority of Jews, in our time, against the Palestinian people.
