Early in this genocide, I said it made me feel ashamed to be Jewish. After a while, I started feeling ashamed to be human.

I think being ashamed of being Zionist makes sense. I know lots of Jewish people who are not Zionist and who do not support what Israel is doing. I am not Jewish and I don't really like any religion much. Zionism is not a religion. It is a sick ideology. Like Nazism.

Problem is not what "Israel is doing", but rather that "Israel" exists in the first place, as its entire concept is an openly discriminatory and bigoted apartheid state that assembles jews teaches them a supremacist doctrine, and enlists them in an armed struggle to disposess and subjugate people it designates as "untermenschen". That's fascism really.

So if any jewish people care, then they need to first support that Israel as a fascist concept should no longer exist to begin with. Not the fake hand wringing over a fascist apartheid state, doing well....what fascist apartheid states do.

You can stop following Judaism and no longer be Jewish, just like Christians and Muslims can do.

I’m not a religious scholar and maybe judaism wasn’t always like this. It seems to me that if it wasn’t always like this, it’s been co-opted and made into a religion based on supremacist ideology.

No, I never "followed" Judaism. I'm not even considered legally Jewish. There was no way for me to officially leave. I used to say, "I'm not sure I can be Jewish anymore," but eventually I found a way to stay. It's not a religion based on supremacy, but there is a supremacy organized around the religious identity.

None of what you’re saying makes sense. You’re describing it as a street gang, where you can’t leave without being murdered. What I hear you saying is you enjoy the perks of being a so called Jew, but don’t want to be considered a Jew. Not one of you have ever been able to answer this fucking question. What makes you a Jew if you aren’t religious? Name one fucking thing that being a Jew is of benefit to anyone in society, besides a Jew. You can’t say, I’m ashamed of Jews and then say, I’m a Jew and I can’t change that. It’s a bunch of bullshit! I don’t know if you’re brainwashed, or a willing liar. Most Jews have proven to be willing liars! I’m tired this bullshit narrative, where you can’t even tell me what a Jew is!

I can explain it, but I don't know if that will help you be less upset. There seems to be something bothering you that you haven't said directly. I don't really get perks from being Jewish in the US; it's not like being Israeli. I just am Jewish. That's all. I'm not saying that I would be harmed for leaving; I just didn't have anything official enough to cancel. And eventually I decided I didn't have to.

I have observed than money and religion seem to really twist people up so that they will do really inhuman things, like genocide to maintain their money, power and/or belief system. Some of the Christian Zionists I have heard speaking seem to be buried under things that "God" has said and support Israel because, apparently God told them that once the Israelites returned to Israel, they would rise up to heaven. Being reminded that there are also 10 commandments, one of them saying not to kill, doesn't seem to faze them.

Jewish voice for Peace? Nah. I would much rather join a group that centers Palestinians and not Jews. The founder/executive director’s husband works for a company that profits off of genocide, so by proxy she profits off of genocide. Why would anyone follow a Jewish group fighting against Jews committing genocide? If these Jews cared about Palestinians, they wouldn’t create a group that focuses on Jews!

You should rethink what you recommending. Jews are not the ones that should be allowed to control the narrative! Some of the members may have good intentions, but the founder has failed the litmus test!

In fact, she failed it so miserably, I can’t ever give JVP any credit.

Even if you give her a pass, JVP are Zionists. They think Israel should exist. This is another damning belief that disqualifies them from being pro-Palestinian.

In fact, I think anyone saying that JVP is a group worth joining, is full of shit.

The fucking founder was so used to her lies being taken as truth, she didn’t even try to hide the fact her husband was Israeli and working for a company that profits off of genocide. Do some research before you start promoting a group.

JVP, has absolutely 0 credibility.

You want to know why?

They are a construct of fucking Mossad!!

Factual things I know about Jewish Voice for Peace: They take action for Palestine every day. They organize thousands of people to take action for Palestine every day. They've been doing this for decades. Their staff are in close communication with Palestinians in Palestine. Context that I know: There are millions of antiZionist Jews who are looking for permission to be for Palestine who are relieved to know there are others out there like them (us). Things I don't know: the founder's connecton to the defense industry, whether the founder is still involved with the group, what role you think Mossad has in this.

The problem with lumping yourself in with these people is this: those people are NOT Human. I wrote about this several days ago on SubStack:

"Historical Atrocity and Modern Hypocrisy

While the Holocaust remains an unmatched atrocity in 20th-century history, it should also serve as a clear benchmark for judging modern state behavior. Yet the actions of countries like Israel and the United States often betray the very lessons they claim to uphold. Israel was founded largely as a refuge for Jews fleeing extermination and centuries of persecution. The U.S., meanwhile, has long portrayed itself as the primary liberator of Europe—which is simply untrue—and the global champion of democratic values (another clearly debatable claim). Given this history, one would expect both nations to reject authoritarianism, ethno-nationalism, and the deliberate targeting of civilians. Instead, they have adopted tactics and policies their predecessors once vehemently condemned [¹⁸].

Israel’s continued annexation of Palestinian land, its pattern of disproportionate military response, and its open defiance of international law demonstrate how historical suffering is now wielded as political insulation. The Holocaust, once a solemn warning against state violence, is too often repurposed as rhetorical armor for it.

The Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, were mass atrocities that must be condemned outright. But the retaliation has killed tens of thousands of civilians and is starving many thousands more—many of them children—devastating a population already living under siege. This is not justice; it is collective punishment on a scale that only breeds future resistance, not peace. Just as in Vietnam, where overwhelming U.S. firepower failed to crush a population’s will to resist occupation, Israel now fuels the very rage it claims to be extinguishing [¹⁹][²⁰].

The architects of the October 7 massacre are not the ones dying. Their actions triggered the slaughter, but it is the civilian population—already stateless, blockaded, and impoverished—that pays the price. These murderous criminals often live in relative luxury, frequently abroad, far from the vengeful reach of the IDF. Israel once went to extraordinary lengths to locate, capture, and return the notorious NAZI Adolf Eichmann to face justice. What is stopping them now from doing the same to the masterminds of October 7? MOSSAD has certainly demonstrated its ability to carry out such operations—when the will exists and the cause is deemed justified.

It seems that the Zionists have taken the road more traveled—the path of collective punishment over targeted justice, of spectacle over substance. Instead of surgical accountability, we get mass reprisals. Hospitals, schools, and apartment blocks are reduced to rubble, while the true culprits continue to issue statements from luxury villas in Doha.

This is not a failure of intelligence—it’s a failure of moral clarity. And it’s not just a tactical decision. It reflects a deeper rot: the selective invocation of historical trauma to justify present-day violence. The Holocaust, once a grim reminder of what happens when humanity loses its soul, is now repackaged by some as blanket moral indemnity. That is not remembrance. That is propaganda.

If the lessons of the Holocaust mean anything, they must apply universally—not selectively, not cynically. Justice without principle is vengeance. Memory without integrity is manipulation."

Kojo's avatar

"...The Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, were mass atrocities that must be condemned outright. ..."

No- actually that's not clear, as the only mass atrocities that have been definitiely identified on that day are of Israel shelling its own people to death, on purpose.

The Palestinian people, as a people subjected by the Israelis to what the UN has long identitfied in international law as illegal occupation and apartheid, have under those laws a right to resistance. And Israel as a nation is one in which virtually all adults over age 18 are armed and actively serve in the military and miltary reserves.

So if the Palestinian people have a right to resistance, and they do, then in doing so they would have encountered armed Israeli's that they would have to assume are Israeli armed forces and disam them. Which is what the reports of that day seem to indicate: they sought to disam people they encountered and take prisoners of war.

There is no valid report of this incidient that suggests the Palestinians on that day went on an aimless wanton killing spree. They appear to have been organized forces taking targeted and measured action - not "mass atrocities".

So when you write what you write there, really you are repeating Israeli disinformation, which has no relationship to what, in August 2025, we have gathered so far as information about what occured on October 7th 2023.

Yes and no. Most of the rumored extreme atrocities appear to have never happened. (I won't even enumerate them here.) And the planned raid by Hamas forces seems to have been limited to the military base. But it does appear that the motley group of militants who arrived spontaneously did shoot a large number of unarmed civlians in their homes. Which I consider a mass atrocity, though at a much lower level than the rumors or than Israeli atrocities.

For sure. I’ve heard that Hamas didn’t know some of the people that joined on Oct 7th and there is rumor they may have been Mossad operatives. You never know. I do know that Hamas was not there to murder, but to kidnap, so they could trade for the 10,000 Palestinian prisoners that are tortured in the Israeli Gulags, at all times. Hamas knew that they didn’t stand to benefit from a wild killing spree. We know that Israel knew it was coming, so with that knowledge, they moved the rave smack dab where the incursion was planned. The truth about that day will be revealed at some point.

I had to stop reading when you said the holocaust was an unmatched atrocity. 29 million soviets died, 20+ million Chinese died, 6 million Jews died. It wasn’t even the biggest atrocity of the war. There have been many genocides before and after the holocaust, during the same century. Most of them funded or carried out by the US and Israel.

That’s enough of me trying to talk to a POS Hasbara bot.

Hamas didn’t do a goddamned thing that was wrong on Oct7th.

Under international law, they have every right to use whatever means they have the fight the occupying power that murders them and steals their land.

Yes, I would have referenced that if it had been the same calendar century, though they were within a century of each other. What Leopold and the Belgians did there was exceptionally brutal.

I’ll also add that over 100 million Indians were killed by the British from 1880-1920. Many of them from policy induced famine, like is being done in Palestine.

The colonial genociders love starving people to death.

They killed all the buffalo in North America to systematically starve the Native Americans.

There are estimates that around 150 million indigenous people of North America were murdered through the colonial tools of genocide.

You are not going to get the truth about Gaza if all you tune into are mainstream conservative news outlets like Fox or talk radio. I have seen this with the Left so many times.

Landru, the ethnic cleansing and Genocide of Palestinians has been going on for over 75 years now...

It was inevitable, given the fact that settler-colonialism ends in only 2 ways -> (1) Genocide and ethnic cleansing (as we see from history about North America), or (2) the colonizers are driven out (as France was in Algeria).

It would have happened (at some point in history or later) regardless of technology or other factors. If you study colonialism (and particularly settler-colonialism), then you would realize that there are only certain trajectories such scenarios can follow.

Interesting. The first time (I'm old) I had heard of Palestine was a neighbor of my Grandmother that I stayed with over the summer. Buzz was the local Post Master who had served in WW2. Buzz showed me the rifle bullet hole in his lower leg. Then began to talk of the current event in Palestine. 1967 war , the israeli war on Palestine. Buzz was most likely unusual understanding the colonization of Palestine by the u.k./u.s. Buzz most likely suffering from PTSD looking back on it was overwhelmed by the horror being committed by israel. My Uncles both served after WW2 in Berlin. They were teachers so accurate history was important as well as teaching me to play chess ha.

Let us be serious for a moment. This is not a moral failing of Sanders. Greene and Sanders are both paid for operatives of multinational banks who work together in an ongoing operation to manipulate public opinion. Sanders has never called out state crimes like COVID and 9.11? Why? Because the banks who call the shots want to force those seeking truth on state crimes to back the militant far right groups that they have already prepared. The purpose of this show is to make it look like you have no choice but to back the militaristic right. What the bankers do not want is an organized left that demands that their assets be seized and they be jailed. None of the right wing is actually demanding action, they are just channeling anger.

Actually Tucker Carlson is no yokel - he has a priceless education. St George's is not famous or a "brand name" in the eyes of the masses, but you get a world class education in the liberal arts there. And the same is true of Trinity College.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson

"....Carlson was briefly enrolled at Collège du Léman, a boarding school in the Canton of Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland, but said he was "kicked out".[86] He attained his secondary education at St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, where he started dating his future wife, Susan Andrews, the headmaster's daughter.[87] He then spent four years attending Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and graduated in 1991 with a B.A. in history.[88]

However, the history of his career shows that Mr Carlsen has, from that privileged position, spent his time systematically enabling and supporting and spreadiing ignorance, demagoguery and and outright racism. For decades on end.

We cannot say he didn't know better - you only have to look at his education to understand that he has no valid excuse of "ignorance" for the many vile things he has said and done.

The leopard does not change its spots, they say. I would give it some time and see if he has actually changed. I doubt it. I think he is just infliltrating.

For sure. Anytime someone like him or MGT does this about face and feigns morality, it screams paid actor. Much like Bernie been a sheepdog for the Dems, these two are emerging as sheepdog for the republicans.

I refuse to believe these parties are redeemable, because they aren’t. These parties aren’t fluid! They have always represented the elite and the elite only. They will always be capitalist, racist, and genocidal.

The only reason the US and Western Europe are rich nations, is because of their lack of any humanity.

Fortunes built off of African slaves. Fortunes built off of stealing natural resources. Fortunes built of murdering and stealing peoples land.

Then they have the nerve to vilify the very people they’ve murdered and stole from.

I’m ashamed of this country! Not because of the sociopathic elite. I’m ashamed of my brothers and sisters that are soulless. They punch down. They blame each other.

They don’t have the ability to think for themselves, yet they only think of themselves. US liberals may be the most self serving and immoral people in existence, besides the Israelis.

The people of the US deserve what’s coming. 70% or so vote for Republicans or Democrats in every election. This means 70% of Americans are soulless, genocidal, fucks.

Only one country outpaces the immorality of the US and its Israel, where 85 - 90% are genocidal maniacs.

I live in the US and I would gladly give my life to stop what’s happening.

I’ve gone through the motions of trying to stop what’s happening, but protests and writing politicians ain’t going to cut it.

Aaron Bushnell was a kind soul, that deserves a higher circle in the afterlife than I do, but I’m not going out like that.?

What happened to the BlackStone executive caused fear. They are so scared, they made up a story of CTE and the NFL.

I don’t condone striking fear into anyone, so don’t get me wrong. 🤞🏻

The elite can’t do shit without us. We are their drivers, their chefs, their assistants, their waiters, their maintenance workers, their construction workers, their babysitters, etc.

When you go to protests, make like minded friends. Make plans, brainstorm, figure out ways to disrupt the system. We need ideas, and we need to recognize our enemies.

If there was ever a time for class solidarity, it’s right now and it’s urgent.

We have the power! It’s time we realize this and we take it back.

I don’t disagree with your perspective, but knowing who the narrative producers are doesn’t make the narratives go away. The absence of a left in the recognized political arena means that the recognized political arena will never achieve credibility once a sizable portion of the public understands that its all theater.

Following that thought, exposing the theater players as illegitimate representatives of the people is never a bad use of time or resources. When more folks grasp that domestic regime change has to happen for meaningful change to ever be realized, the empire will be in trouble.

I think the demonization of the supporters of Israel by Americans is concerning. The Americans need to look at their own country before passing absolute judgement on who’s evil and who is acceptable.

The Scar of David

There seem to be two things deeply engraved in most (not all, to be sure) minds of those who regard themselves as being Jewish. The first is an embedded perception of being a victim, and a victim despised. This despite all the evidence to the contrary: the equality under the law of all nations, the success in all the professions, the accumulated wealth, the deference shown, the access to all things of value and to fame and fortune. Still, the idea of living among actual or potential “Jew-haters” is alive and well, if not undying. “Anti-Semites” are everywhere, even if they’re hiding! There is history, of course, but the current status of Jews is, unquestionably, I would say, the same as that of any other group in just about any country—except in Israel, where they have special rights and privileges.

The second thing is the embedded idea of being exceptional, or “chosen,” which can take two forms: the form of the conquerer, the annihilator of “idolators,” down to their last goat, Joshua and David defeating their “enemies,” the Canaanites and Amelekites, slaughtering them down to the last suckling. The more positive form is that of “tikkun olam,” or the “repairing” of the world. This goal, albeit pretentious, although perilously similar to “the white man’s burden,” might seem like something that everyone with a sense of right and wrong would like to be part of and contribute to, but one wonders how many of those who consider themselves to be Jews are actually even aware of this concept. But “exceptionalism,” whether as a destroyer or as “a light unto the nations,” seems to be part and parcel of the common assumed identity of a Jew as a Jew. Jews are “different.” Jews are “special.” (And “Jews are different” is manifested by the orthodox in other ways as well: in dress, in food in customs, in a determined adherence to a tribalistic stance. The orthodox have worked hard to be and remain separate and distinct.)

Both forms of exceptionalism are equally disastrous, psychologically and socially. The world now sees on a daily basis where the first form has led, and of the second form there is little evidence, despite the exceptional number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners. And “Exceptionalism” easily transforms itself into “supremacy,” and the idea of Jewish supremacy (obviously not a fantasy if the collective state of mind in Israel is considered) works hand-in-hand with its dark-mirror image, the sense of victimhood: we are hated because we are superior!

“Jew-hatred”: Jews of various stripes talk about it, write about it, obsess about it, even joke about it. No one, to my knowledge, ever asks: Why don’t people like me? Irrationality and scapegoating are the only explanations offered. An old political cartoon shows Edward Teller, the “father” of the hydrogen bomb, sitting with his “son” on his lap who asks: “Daddy, why doesn’t anyone like me?” (The people of the Pacific, have another question: “Why did you poison our lives?”) Could what Israel, the self-proclaimed state of the Jews, does have anything to do with a possible lack of sympathy for Jews in general?

Reasonable people, of course, will not paint everyone with the same brush. One cannot help it if one is born into a Jewish family, or a Muslim family, or a Christian family, or a Shintoist family, even if these religions are sometimes used to sanction injustice, theft, persecution and slaughter. (They have also been used to promote kindness and goodness.) One can’t help it if one, for example, is born in America, even if millions are killed in the name of American “values.” But, as must be obvious, there will always be “overspill,” false generalizations, because, also of course, not all people are always reasonable and make the necessary distinctions. In Gaza Israel bombs schools and hospitals and the tents of the displaced (and give their warped reasons for doing so) and some Jewish restaurant in Brussels has its windows broken, some synagogue in Britain has a swastika painted on its wall by an Arab, some angry and frustrated man who chooses to think that all Jews are to blame for what some Jews do. Of course, Israelis and, sad to say, most “diaspora”Jews, indoctrinated from babyhood on, react the same way: all Arabs are beasts, are “human animals!” Dehumanization vast and fathomless. And Israelis do more than paint a Star of David on a mosque: they have become masters of destruction, and, given their sense of victimhood and sense of exceptionalism, and given their power and the hold that power has on them, they don’t hold back!

Victimhood and exceptionalism: together forming the “Scar of David,” a scar on justice, a scar on empathy, a scar on clarity of vision, a scar on truth, a scar on humility, a scar on universality. Many scars, thus. Red and deep.

Israel: On the one hand are the revolting crimes, the killings and mutilations, the wounds to the bodies and souls of survivors, those who survive the wholesale killing.

On the other hand is the indifference, the blindness, the arrogance, the “life as usual,” the swimming and sunbathing a few kilometers from the place where people are rent into fragments on a daily basis. This the result of the conviction of victimhood and exceptionalism on the one hand, combined with barefaced dehumanization on the other. A devil’s cocktail, leading to mass derangement and mass slaughter.

On the third hand is the positive enjoyment, the pleasure taken in seeing “enemies” destroyed. One has only to see an Israeli T-shirt with a picture of a pregnant Palestinian woman in the cross-hairs of a gunsight, with the text: “One shot, two kills.”

Israel is, by any objective analysis, an unhinged, lunatic society, a society that permits and promulgates the infliction of suffering and death on others, the dispossessed, the defenseless. And they justify it all! They have their spokespersons who are clever enough to manufacture all sorts of reasons, reasons drowning in a pool of lies and deceptions and self-deceptions.

People on the left are very careful to distinguish between anti-Semitism on the one hand and anti-Zionism and anti-Israelism on the other. I myself, although I detest the expression “anti-Semitism” (how can one possibly be against a people for the language they speak? And if you think of “Semites” as people, then Arabs are Semites while Ashkenazi Jews are not), am having doubts. Israel, except for the twenty percent of Palestinians who managed not to be murdered or expelled in 1948, consists of Jews. It is the Jewish state—although Jews are not a race (whatever that outmoded concept implies) the very idea of a Jewish state is most certainly a racist idea. It is Jews who are perpetrating these crimes that darken the heavens, it is Jews who say that they “don’t give a shit” about the slaughter in Gaza, it is Jews who send their children to watch the destruction of Gaza through telescopes and take boat trips to watch the nightly “fireworks,” it is Jews who lie and distort and justify and inflict the horrors of hell on a helpless and defenseless people. It is Jews, with their perverted mentality, who have done this. May one not say this?

But, of course, not all Jews, for those still proclaiming or acknowledging themselves to be Jews are also at the forefront of the opposition to the insane attitudes and actions of Israeli Jews and, tragically, to the mindset of most Jews who live their normal lives in the countries where they were born but still maintain an unholy loyalty to the criminal state of Israel. It is also Jews who wear shirts with “Not in my name” written on them. There are also Jewish scholars and thinkers who write, speak and condemn what Israel does and has been doing since its founding. Some of them are even Israelis! Bless them! Unfortunately, tragically, these people of courage and conscience are a minority, a tiny minority.

I ask: why can one not be “anti” a group of people who identify themselves with a criminal state that claims to represent them as a people and is accepted as such by a great majority of Jews? One can be “anti-American,” because of its wars and oppression and hypocrisies and its imperialism, while at the same time realizing that many many Americans are also opposed to the crimes occurring in their name. Why then can one not be “anti-Semitic,” anti-Jew, while it is Jews (but not all of them) who are committing unspeakable crimes?

It is time that the term “anti-Semitism is de-toothed. The whole concept has become a weapon, a shield to hide behind while destroying an entire people, people who are innocent—as far as humans can be innocent–of any crime. They were just in the place where the Zionists wanted to be. Why can’t one, in all moral rectitude, be against their oppression, their removal from the human family, and against those who perpetrated this crime, those who call themselves Jews? When Israeli Jews and most Jews living in other countries define “anti-Semitism” as being anti-Zionism and anti-Israel and its actions and rationalizations, why not take them at their word? Yes, if this is what “anti-Semitism” means then I am anti-Semitic!

Those Jews who consider themselves to be a “people,” not just the practitioners of a particular religion, can hardly object to being regarded as a people and condemned as a people when that people does contemptible things.

Those Jews who feel that the world is against them might ask: why, why are we disapproved of? What have we done? The answers are obvious to anyone with open eyes, who sees what is being done in the name of Jews, in the name of the “self-defense” of Jews, the horror on a hardly equalled scale, the misery being rained down on others. The answers are in plain sight2.

Very accurate analysis. jews commit heinous crimes and genocides because they want to be hated. They enjoy and desire to be hated as that justifies and reinforces their pervert and fake ideology of victimhood and that people hate them because they are individually and collectively "more successful", "smarter", "better", "chosen", and "exceptional". It is a true fascist and supremacist ideology, based on lies, more lies, and manipulations.

The US empire of chaos (and its euro-vassals) are completely captured by jewish supremacists networks. Academia, media, all branches of government, FIRE sector and central banking, big pharma, big tech, big guns, major publishers, ports and shipping industry, political parties from the far left to neofascists. Most institutions and elements vital to civic life, public debate and national sovereignty have been captured in a structured process that started in the early 1800s.

From Bernard-Henry-Levy to Noam Chomsky (a friend of Epstein and producer of “anti-imperialist” narratives for the “value based world order”), from the founders of the US neocon project (in fact a mostly jewish supremacist project producing policy papers and policies dressed as US national interest) to ultrazionist Bernie “fight for the oligarchy” Sanders. From Banderist Ukraine to Central Asia. They all work for the same chosen tribe and you will never be a club member. But we, simple Amalekites, must admit that they know how to build a brand, craft sophisticated narratives, network relentlessly, capture institutions and industries, polarize goyim political spaces. They even manufactured “christian” zionism and wahhabism, they should copyright the thing. To be fair they were already practicing their craft in ancien Egypt and Persia, so they had a few trials and errors.

What is absolutely fascinating is that this group of humans never learned from its mistakes, it processed its failures and rejections like a highly functional psychopath would do. Which is annoying now that it has dominance other multiple nuclear armed states and the most comprehensive propaganda machine in human history.

But let's conclude with this positive and humanistic reflexion from Trump's top White House adviser (and of course jewish) Stephen Miller who said in his idealistic judeonazi youth: “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity”.

Hua Bin: Scofield Bible & Samuel Untermyer – the Jewish fixer who shaped modern US more than any WASP president

"Thanks to Untermyer, the Scofield Bible brought Christian Zionism to the world. The concept of “Judeo Christian value” was also conceived for the first time in history.

Untermyer, through the crook Cyrus Scofield, successfully inserted a pro-Zionist agenda into evangelical Christian theology to create Christian support for a Jewish state in the land of the Palestinians."

"Nobody is fomenting hatred of Jews more rapidly and effectively than the genocidal apartheid state which claims to represent all Jews."

Ain't that the truth. And the Israelis claim they represent all Jewish people, but all my Jewish acquaintances say "Hell no! No way!" I think that's most revealing... You can't force everyone to agree with your evil actions. Not everyone is a psychopath or wants to be identified with them. But I guess Bernie Sanders is okay being one of them.
