I didn’t hear/read anyone labeling/libeling Max Blumenthal et al as being Zionist, Christian, Jewish, or otherwise.

You made it up.

I am genuinely unaware of the meaning of “blood libel”, and how it differs from just plain libel.

If you would be willing to elaborate, I would appreciate it.

Personally, I think that Max tears it up, and provides great journalism at the Grayzone.

So much venom at posters here, and not nearly as much towards Israel and it’s protagonists .

That seems screwed up to me.

I didn't say he had been. Nonetheless, I know that Max Blumenthal is an anti-Zionist Jews, and when all Jews are painted with the same genocidal Zionist brush that endangers Jews like Blumenthal, for whom I have great respect as both a journalist and just a man of conscience.

"Blood libel" refers to when the medieval Catholic Church told people that Jews killed Christian babies to use their blood in dark rituals. It was a great way to start a pogram and distract the peasants from the doings of Church and nobility.

Israelis and their Zionist supporters have been accusing anyone who says Israel is committing genocide of blood libel, most recently the South African government when it filed suit against Israel in the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.

If all Jews are tainted by what Israel is doing, then there's a danger of REAL anti-Semitism rearing its ugly head, and I don't want to see that happen.

Thank you for the explanation of blood libel.

That’s disgusting.

I don’t know about that semitism, anti or otherwise.

I have heard that Palestinians, at least some of them, are Semitic, so I’m not anti-Semitic as far as I’m concerned.

I’m anti-Israel though.

The creation of that enterprise, at the expense of the people already living there, is not something I can countenance.

Let’s just hope that the shooting, and bombing, and killing stops.

Soon.

Now, preferably.

Then maybe we can figure shit out, and give the peace loving people there a break, at long last.

Max and Aaron were great on Friday.

Mintpress was even more moving.

If you didn’t have the opportunity to watch it, I encourage you to do so.

Have a pleasant, productive, peaceful day, please, you barbarian you.

Oh, Mister Fish. You are in the sandbox of, well, as they say, Substack Crusaders. It's the same over at Sheer Post. Amazing amounts of nuancing and parsing, finding a semite here and an anti-semite there, all thise bravado and hair splitting.

And someone is "reporting" you to who? Is this the Good German thing we all know about.

Finkelstein was on Russell's show, and he stated how his father told Norman about a great book he read, by a Russian, and told Norman that this is the truth -- The Russian historian slash writer never referred to those in Germany Nazis. He hated the Germans. You know, it was a Nazi State, and alas, Norman was taken aback but understands this.

Russell mention something as a Devil's advocate to Norman around the issue of "are you seeing that anti-semitism is being grafted onto this genocide Israel is undertaking?"

Old Norm clarified and stated that it's a natural spillover that good people might equate what the Jewish State of Jewish Israel is doing (every branch of anything in Isra-Hell has that religious emblem everywhere) to Palestinians as what Jews worldwide advocate and agree with. He's certainly clear that the number of women and babies and children killed compared to supposed military militants is the worse ratio in this century and most of the last part of the 20th century.

He's not worried about anti-semitism spillover. He also mention Graham Greene's novel, the Ugly American, making the point that it wasn't called "The Ugly CIA" or "The Ugly American Army."

It is death and dying in the time of the ugly Jew. SOrt of a Marquez novel, "One Hundred Years of Nakba" never made into a movie by you know who who controls Hollywood and the media, in their own words.

So, welcome to the mud pit of Substack railing and dancing and massive comments threads and, well, Mister Fish, you read and comment on my Substack and have read my more traditional journalism and my books, so you might get me better than a Substack armchair hero. You've even met me in person for weeks on end, and took a Zoom part of a face-to-face class.

You know who Paulo is -- AKA Paul K. Haeder, or Paul Haeder. In the olden days of the Jewish Project Google, I'd get so many more hits putting my real name in the Gulag Machine of Google.

But, those who control the data, control the world (since data is worth more than gold and oil and food and water and land -- or that is, data can control all of those and more) , so yep, we are just subjects, less than serfs, to the Blinken's and Soros's and Larry Finks of the world.

Is someone really reporting you? What does that mean when someone states that on Substack Crap Landia?

Is that Mossad? FBI? My Jurez Cartel buddies? THe Banditos I did stories about? SHit, scares the shit out of me, man. Almost as bad as being banned by Fucker-Berg-Book and his Mossad-CIA-Jewish Unsocial media outfit, Meta or some such fucked up place.
