Today I sent an article about an insane politician to a friend who says she likes him and asked her what she thought of the article. She said it was not true and accused me of trying to make other people think like me. When I said to a Jewish friend that the so called increase in antisemitism is because it is now considered antisemitic to criticize the state of Israel she said she didn't have time to read those kinds of articles. I saw a Jewish student talking about how she does not feel safe on her campus where there is an encampment. She didn't like the sign "Zionists not welcome". She was one of those people they talk about in the documentary, Israelism, who have been brainwashed to think that Zionism is a good idea. She is studying law. She didn't mention how unsafe it really is for Palestinians. She didn't even seem to realize that a genocide is happening. Or care. This attitude is mind boggling. Netanyahu is at least as insane as Hitler was, he has a horribly similar approach, and most world leaders and too many ordinary citizens do not seem to notice. In fact some have even threatened the ICJ if they try to arrest Netanyahu. If this were a science fiction novel, we would all think it was just too dystopian to ever actually happen. Well, here it is.
You are confusing antisemitism with anti-Jew, as the US Jewish leaders tell you. Wake up. Antisemitism is a way that Jews use to control the minds of the Goyim. There's nothing wrong in being against a powerful political entity, which is what Judaism is. The proper term we should be using is anti-Jew, and we should all be against that. Antisemitism means whatever Jewish leaders want it to mean in order to control you.
It always baffled me how the most effective method of actually changing someone's opinion -- interacting with them, even if it takes years, allowing prohibited opinions and interests to be fully aired without punishment, and then carefully and convincingly disproven -- is simply not attempted with antisemitism. Instead, it's always springing by surprise the brute force of public shaming, shunning, demonetizing, etc.. Thus raising the temperature of a slammed-shut boiling pot, driving the antisemitism *underground*.
Hmmm... It's almost as if they *don't want* antisemitism to be eradicated. Hmmm...
Uh huh - that predictable results are the intended results always strikes me as highly likely, despite declared intentions that are contrary. So the genocidal actions of Team Netanyahu and the "antisemitism" finger pointing at all who voice their objection, which associates Team Netanyahu's genocidal actions with semitism, will naturally lead to many objectors associating semitism with brutality and mass murder.....
Netanyahu himself is promoting this association.
It doesn't make an objector anti-semitic, but he wants objectors to become anti-semitic, apparently.
You're wrong. We must be antisemites, meaning we must be against the wrongdoing that the Jewish leaders - Judaism - is conducting. Israel is only half of Judaism. Israel conducts its crimes because of the political support of world Judaism. Individual Jews need not identify with this political arm of Judaism in the same way that US citizens don't have to identify with the wrongdoing of the USA. I'm against the USA, but I don't hate US citizens. It's the same thing in reference to Judaism and individual Jews.
I suggest leaving religion out of it completely. A better way to think about it is the normal propensity of humans to accumulate ever greater amounts of power, resources, control, etc. Religion is often just a scapegoat - a cover under which anyone can hide and justify anything.
Let's assume religions never existed. Do you think there would be no wars in such a world? Do you think there would be no imperialism, colonization, or genocides? Do you think that people wouldn't be oppressed any longer if religions did not exist?
The point I am trying to make is that - religions are often used (abused) in order to control people (through narratives) by the mighty/powerful (throughout history). And this is applicable to ALL religions.
The Israeli Jews could never get away with their wrongdoing if it wasn't for the unconditional political and military support of the USA. That support in turn would not be possible without the humongously strong US Jewish Lobby, overwhelmingly supported by the US Jewish community and Israel. Thus, it's all of Judaism that's behind this wrongdoing.
"The Israeli Jews" mean those Jews who control Israel. What can be simpler?
Why are you obfuscating this? It's the same as saying, "The United States..." We don't mean every US citizen, we mean the people who control the actions of the US.
"Netanyahu would love people to think that The State of Israel represents all jews."
You put words in my mouth. I never would say, "all Jews." I think you're smart enough to know that, and so maybe you're intentionally trying to obfuscate. But maybe you're not that smart. Maybe you're just corrupt? It's a serious offense to lie about the statements someone makes.
Maybe you just don't want to see the word "Jew" in the same sentence that cites wrongdoing? It's as if Jews are beyond criticism. Are they "The Chosen" to you? Not to me.
It's incorrect to say that the perpetrators are Zionists or Israelis. Zionism is a philosophy that Jews use to justify their wrongdoing. Likewise, Freedom or Democracy are ideas that the US often uses to justify its wrongdoing, and it would be wrong to say that Freedomists or Democratists are doing the wrongdoing. It's the USA that's the culprit in the same way that it's Judaism that's the culprit. Also, it's incorrect to say that Israel is the culprit. It's the Israeli Jews plus the US Jewish leaders, via the US Jewish community, that is the conglomerated culprit. We need to stop believing what we are told. Think for ourselves.
I know I am unusually stupid. All I have to do is think about all the stupid decisions I made in my past, which I suffered for numerous times, and still do today for some. But man, apparently, I'm not the only incredibly stupid person on the planet. Maybe it just comes down to that: the demise of the human species will be simply because of a common human virus one can find everywhere - known as "stupidity".
Stupidity isn't a virus. It is a learned behaviour. You have recognized your learned behaviour. That is the difference between you and those who just do more stupid things to try to validate their first stupid things.
I don't think people are born stupid unless they are born with developmental delays or some brain problem. I am almost certain that stupidity is not a virus. People learn to be stupid from the world around them. They learn that they will be chastised or ridiculed for behaving in a way that others do not like. So they learn that stupidity sometimes makes life easier.
"I don't think people are born stupid unless they are born with developmental delays or some brain problem." -- Each person is born with a range of mental strengths and weaknesses, including the various kinds of intelligence as well as psychiatric aspects. Sure, many of the weaknesses among these can be improved upon, sometimes greatly, with hard work etc., but it is absurd to think that it is all a matter of discipline and character. There's a good reason for the saying "You can't fix stupid." However, this should not be an insult, but a societal wake-up call.
"People learn to be stupid from the world around them." -- They may become smarter or more stupid depending on their environments and experiences, but nothing's going to *significantly* change the abilities of the baseline grey matter. Otherwise, the SAT etc. would be completely useless, rather than merely something that can usually be gamed.
"They learn that they will be chastised or ridiculed for behaving in a way that others do not like." -- This is called getting smarter ;) Or, more accurately, accumulating useful knowledge. What one does with that knowledge depends a lot on their native intelligence.
My point is that people should NOT be punished for having low native intelligence. In the modern West at least, this is one of the worst -- probably *the* worst -- of all unrecognized and uncontrolled *isms out there.
Anti Hip: I don't think I ever suggested that anyone should be punished for having low native intelligence or low intelligence for any reason at all. My original response was to the suggestion that stupidity is caused by a virus. In the end, there are probably multiple reasons for stupidity. None of them deserving of punishment.
Netanyahu will say anything to keep murdering innocent people in Gaza. One thing Oct 7th showed us is Israel owns the US government and Im not surprised Phil is supporting Israel, he's selling a new book right now. They're all the same, they talk out of both sides of their mouths, in private they say one thing and in public they say something else. Well Im beyond sick of seeing children blown to bits, Im sick of seeing parents wailing over their dead children. I guess money from Israel is more important than human life, maybe some of those assholes should actually go there and witness it first hand.
Even the people who support Israel should be against Israel’s hold on our government. Especially the people who bitched for 5 years about Russia Russia Russia, but are totally silent on Israel’s control.
Besides being a crooked and psychotic murderer, Netanyahu is also trying his best to keep his country riled up and distracted for as long as possible, in an effort to avoid his much-deserved criminal prosecution and to stay out of jail. Much like Trump.
It isn't just Netanyahu Leon, a large majority of Israelis favour killing & ethnic cleansing Gazans & other Palestinians. Nor is killing goyem a new thing, they've been doing it for millennia, although before they converted to Judaism in the 8th century the Khazars used to do it anyway for pleasure & profit.
I think you mean death in Gaza because thats whats happening right now, massive death. But I agree with you, they should all go and watch the children mourn their parents deaths and parents mourn the deaths of their children and for what, fuck all but greed.
For the OIl and Gas Fields owned by the Palestinians, and to remove those pesky Muslims and over time extend the borders of the Jewish state. And build the "NEW SUEZ" for shipping..
Let us pretend that every single protester (Jewsih protesters included!) were protesting for no reason other than antisemitism. This isn't the case, but work with me, here.
I am so totally over the whole mythical "antisemitism" crisis. It's so disingenuous. And meanwhile thousands of innocents are being slaughtered. Netanyahu is the poster child for Machiavellian psychopathy
The irony is that constant Zionist demands for special pleading and double standards, not to mention smearing any criticism as antisemitism identical to that of Hitler or Himmler, has created more genuine antisemites than all the idiocies ever posted on Stormfront.
Not to mention it makes the rest of us just roll our eyes when we hear someone called an antisemite. Not saying we should. We shouldn't.
Anti-semitism is just an instance of general racism, bigotry, and xenophobia that exists against many other ethnicities and groups. That they claim "exceptional" status for anti-semitism is akin to the US claiming "exceptional", Europe the "garden", etc. The version of a "white man's burden". Their suffering is more exceptional than others'.
I was talking out of my ass, I do remember fighting with people on Rumble about loving the Jewish people and disliking the Genocidal Zionists. At some point I thought I was being trolled for fun.
He might be a psychopath, but it's not fair to criticise him for his struggles with his mental illness when he's even willing to talk about his symptoms he deals with to Dr. Phil on TV, which is proof he's getting the help he needs if not all he would like.
Psychopathy is associated with something called semantic aphasia that prevents sufferers of the neurological disorder from being able to find words to describe emotions and their inner emotional world the way you or I can, so it may seem he's justifying his slaughter in Gaza, but doubtlessly he's actually only trying to talk about what he feels with America's greatest doctor, which is bloodlust.
It's not easy being a psychopathic apartheid state leader, let alone a mass murderer, and especially not a Jewish one—the studies show all but one of those are associated with negative life outcomes. Luckily, Dr. Phil is on the job and there to help. When a mass murderer is facing a crisis, it's important to intervene quickly and early that way you can prevent any violence before it happens, and maybe even save a life in the process.
The biggest problem besides anti-Semitism is honestly probably stigma; Netanyahu needs to start opening up about his problems and talking about them more, that way the public can learn to understand them and his struggle with being a genocidal psychopath. Can you imagine having to deal with that every day, especially being Jewish, and waking up every morning with the overwhelming urge to violently slaughter millions of people, yet struggling to communicate the way you feel and afraid others will judge you for it?
When you think about it, it's actually perfectly understandable and valid, and if he spoke about his issues more like he did with America's top doc, a lot more people would be empathising with Israel's side. It's 2024, are we seriously this far behind when it comes to destigmatisation?
(In case it would not be as glaringly obvious as it should be—you never know these days—I'm being satirical...)
>>"(In case it would not be as glaringly obvious as it should be—you never know these days—I'm being satirical...)"
Thank you for clarifying, because there are people in the world that are evil and stupid enough to say the things above and mean them (as has been evident from observing MSM and the political elites).
Lol… I was keeping my fingers crossed that your remark WAS satirical, Emma….I have no clue if “Dr.” Phil is still on the air, but his show was one step way from Jerry Springer’s 😂
Keep at it, Caitlin. It is so damn frustrating to be confronted with these people. That kid at Yale, how can she claim she was deliberately poked in the eye? Does she not realize that for her nationalistic needs, she is slandering an innocent person? Oh I get it, it's ok to lie about and slander anyone who supports the Palestinian cause.. Into Hillary's basket of despicables with you!
Funny, I boycott everything remotely associated with israel even as far as using uppercase respect ha. israel has ended itself financially as long as the u.s. taxpayer doesn't allow billions in economic aid being funneled to israel.
Part of the problem is that its been two years now with the masses already swallowing the gaslighting tactics that claim the "west" are not supporting Nazis in Ukraine, and that Russia is fighting an "unprovoked" war against Ukraine.
Even when the facts come out, the masses have not rebelled agains the big lie
So no wonder they felt they could go ahead with the gaslighting about "antisemitism".
However it seems they have bitten of more than they can chew. Nobody is buying it anymore and only the more extreme fools still repeat this stuff. It pretty much identifies liars and idiots now.
"Ukraine" has been created in the image of Israel. They crave to be like Israel in terms of being fed and clothed etc in exchange for being a poke in Russia's eye. Just like Israel is for the Middle East.
When I was a kid I was told a story about a boy who cried, "Wolf." It didn't end well. Now I'm watching a disturbingly similar story take place in front of my eyes about people who cry, "Antisemitism."
Butcher Boy Netanyahu and his henchmen are Zionists, which we know is a variation of fascism. They are hiding under the skirts of antisemitism to incriminate all peoples of the Jewish faith. I said earlier we must make a clear distinction between Zionists and the rest of the Jewish community. Non-Zionists should make it clear this is not done in their name, and many are. Netanyahu plays very dirty when tries to tar all Jews with his Zionist brush.
That Bibi should be thrown in JAIL! Why is he allowed to commit war crimes and the world still supports them? If we have a problem with it, we're some how antisemitic. Any other group of people you call out for crimes os ok but when you try to get Israel to account for theirs, it's some how "hate speech." I'm so tired of it.
Great piece once again Caitlin. I'm so happy I found your substack page. You're such a fantastic writer. 🙏❤️
"I mean, how do you even argue with someone like this?" - you don't, because they are not interested in figuring it out. It's the rule-based order for them and what they say goes.
There are occasional trolls showing up in this forum, sometimes in time, sometimes late, creating droppings of inane stuff. One must be a complete moron in believing what they say. I tend to think most of them are just hasbara employees doing rounds on internet blogs.
I have often found myself reacting with a vaguely uncomfortable feeling when I have seen Hasidic or Orthodox Jewish men in the city (mostly in Melbourne), but since the current concern about antisemitism blew up and I have seen so many of these men speaking out against the genocide in Palestine I have developed a new understanding and respect for Judaism, as well as a clear recognition of the evils of Zionism. I am also constantly struck by the reaction of Palestinians when facing the most horrendous agonies and anguish - they do not swear vengeance, death and destruction against Zionists, though they surely deserve it and will one day reap the whirlwind.
Many moons ago, when I was in college, I opted to take a course in Literature that studied the King James Bible. Believe it or not, the Bible is respected as a fine work of literature, putting aside what one might make of the authenticity of its stories etc. That was the reason I took the course, to mainly examine its literary worth - not theological worth. The course was taught by a professor of literature who also happened to be a Jewish Rabbi. However, I felt he provided a very rational, and balanced approach to interpreting the works found in King James, and he also was well grounded in historical critical analysis - i.e. he did not deny the bible was written with many different sources, or that there is a long documented history of the evolution of the text and books/chapters we have today. However, that did not detract from the literary value, which we explored in the course, with some of the remarkable early story gems of primarily the Old Testament. The New Testament was more of a contradictory mess with less expository value, though we did also spend some time on it as well. After finishing the class, I gained a greater respect for orthodox Judaism, along with some of the Judaic traditions. My final quarter paper was written on the life of Joseph, which I found particularly of interest, especially the dreams he had, and how he was able to become a master interpreter of dreams. There is no doubt in my mind today, Zionism has nothing to do with fundamental Jewish tenets. I consider Zionism the complete opposite of what it would mean to be a true practicing Jew. Zionism is an ideology and abomination against everything the religion is suppose to stand for. There is no greater evil than genocide.
The OT has inspired bits but its full of genocidal crap put there to indoctrinate primitive Judaic tribesmen. It's inclusion in the Bible was engineered by Pharisees to destroy Christ Jesus' divine revelations as part of the the Pharisees' fitly successful attempt to distort, corrupt & eradicate Jesus' Good News that ensouled humn beings re indwelt by fragment of Creator consciousness & gifted with reincarnation in order to grow in consciousness & wisdom to become like God. The St James version was a further rewrite to further distort Jesus' message as was the Schofield Bible.
There are many non-religious and non-orthodox Jews also protesting, including in Israel itself. But they're massively drowned out by the racist propaganda machine.
Members of the Biden administration should be made to consider 18 U.S. Code § 1091 the law that brought the genocide convention into US law. Put this statute in their faces, up front and center at every protest at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad.
They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they leave office, given they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives.
The propagandists in the Mainstream Media need to be encouraged to think about their culpability as well.
The more Jews loudly supporting Israel unconditionally no matter the brutality the more chance that real antisemitism takes root. Tying Zionism to Judaism will cause this.
I agree. Netanyahu is playing with fire and it doesn’t help when 93% of Israelis are in favor of blocking all aid into Gaza and doesn’t think that Israel is doing enough to wipe out the Palestinians.
I can’t figure out how people who were genocided can turn a blind eye and support genocide against others.
If these babbling idiots, who keep pushing fictional hate crimes against Jewish persons, keep up their lies then We the Sane will really start hating "hobbits". They're actually creating their own problems, forcing the rest of us to dislike them, but that must be what it takes in their minds to cover up a full-fledged genocide. But the polls are still showing most folks don't believe a word of it and want the ethnic cleansing to stop, thankfully.
And never believe a single thing about "Dr. Phil." The man lost his license to practice as a psychologist because of his sexual advances with his patients. That's how he wound up on TV--he couldn't make a living as a therapist anymore with that on his record. Look it up. Phil and Bibi are both big lying hobbits.
Funny you should say that about dear Dr. Phil. A friend of my sister’s is a flight attendant and told her years ago that he had a string of women on his private jet after he made it big with his association with Oprah and his dumb self-help book.
Eric Alterman of the Nation is an important liberal, and he made the statement in 2009 at the 92d Street Y, celebrating his dual loyalty.
I’m deeply grateful to him for his honest.
”You know, one of the touchiest words you can say when you’re discussing Jews and Israel is the word dual loyalty. It’s sort of one of those words that American Jewish officialdom has ruled out of the discourse. If you say dual loyalty, you’re playing into the hands of anti-semites, because it’s been a consistent trope among anti-Semites that you can’t trust Jews. etc. etc.
And I find this very confusing because I was raised dually loyal my whole life.
When I went to Hebrew school, the content of my Hebrew school was all about supporting Israel.
When my parents who I think are here tonight sent me to Israel when I was 14, on a ZOA [Zionist Organization of America]-sponsored trip it was drummed into me that I should do what’s best for Israel.
I was at the Center for Jewish History not long ago where I heard Ruth Wisse, the Yiddishist professor at Harvard instruct a group of young Jewish journalists that they should think of themselves as members of the Israeli army. …
I am a dual loyal Jew and sometimes I’m going to actually go with Israel, because the United States can take an awful lot of hits and come up standing.
Whereas if Israel takes one serious bad hit it could disappear. So there’s going to be some cases where when Israel and the United States conflict I’m going to support what’s best for Israel rather than what I think is best for the United States.
Then-editor of the Forward Jane Eisner: Can you imagine a time where you would feel that dual loyalty and go with Israel?
Alterman: I just said, there are many occasions.
Eisner: Can you give us an example?
Alterman:… I think that bin Laden and 9/11 were to some degree inspired by U.S. support of Israel. I think a great deal of the terrorist attacks and the sort of pool of potential terrorists who want to attack the United States are inspired by the United States support for Israel. I’m not saying we shouldn’t support Israel for that reason. I’m saying, Dammit if that’s the price we have to pay, then I’m willing to pay it. I’m just saying Let’s be honest about it.” ...
Just think that what Alterman said is not condemned…..he suffers nothing for admitting that he is basically a traitor who would sacrifice Americans for the Jewish state.
Unbelievable…..staggers the mind how this kind of Jew treason is so accepted in America…..just staggering.
How did this kind of treason come to be O.K. for the Jews?
It came from this kind of treason…..
Nancy Pelosi Addressing AIPAC in December of last year:
“I have said to people when they ask me, if this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain would be our commitment to our aid, I don’t even call it our aid, our cooperation with Israel. That’s fundamental to who we are.”"
Excellent comment. Many thanks. You illustrate the tip of the iceberg on the brainwashing that Jews have accomplished in US society. One of the latest examples is the "working definition" and "non-binding" definition of "anti-Semitism," which is an insult to human intelligence. And then the stupid governments in the US and other western countries adopt it. They say "non-binding." What's that supposed to mean, when in the US it will enable Greenblatt, a professional defamer who heads the Jewish Defamation League, to destroy peoples' lives? It's as if US government and citizens obey the Jewish command to don their mental straitjackets.

The idea that criticism of The State could ever be interpreted as anti-Semitism is just absurd
And it will incite actual anti-Semitism
You are confusing antisemitism with anti-Jew, as the US Jewish leaders tell you. Wake up. Antisemitism is a way that Jews use to control the minds of the Goyim. There's nothing wrong in being against a powerful political entity, which is what Judaism is. The proper term we should be using is anti-Jew, and we should all be against that.

That is what usually happens when anti-Zionism is conflated with anti-Semitism.
Self-fulfilling prophecy
It always baffled me how the most effective method of actually changing someone's opinion -- interacting with them, even if it takes years, allowing prohibited opinions and interests to be fully aired without punishment, and then carefully and convincingly disproven -- is simply not attempted with antisemitism.

Hmmm... It's almost as if they *don't want* antisemitism to be eradicated. Hmmm...
Faux Semitists don't want anti-Semitism to be eradicated because they can't find anything else to successfully misunderstand.
Uh huh - that predictable results are the intended results always strikes me as highly likely, despite declared intentions that are contrary. So the genocidal actions of Team Netanyahu and the "antisemitism" finger pointing at all who voice their objection, which associates Team Netanyahu's genocidal actions with semitism, will naturally lead to many objectors associating semitism with brutality and mass murder.....
Netanyahu himself is promoting this association.
It doesn't make an objector anti-semitic, but he wants objectors to become anti-semitic, apparently.
Since when can you interpret criticism of the wrongdoings of The State / Empire as anti-Semitism ?
Netanyahu would love you toe believe that criticism of The State (of Israel) constitutes anti-Semitism
Of course. The main offenders here are Netanyahu and their butchers. Noone talks about Arabs being smeared!
You're wrong. We must be antisemites, meaning we must be against the wrongdoing that the Jewish leaders - Judaism - is conducting. Israel is only half of Judaism. Israel conducts its crimes because of the political support of world Judaism.

You're confused. My statement has nothing to do with any religion. I suggest you study more about the current beliefs and non-beliefs that Jews have.
"We must be antisemites, meaning we must be against the wrongdoing that the Jewish leaders"
You confuse jewish leader with leaders of The State (of Israel)
Just what Netanyahu would want your to believe
Any statement or action against that state constitutes anti-semitism - definitely false !!!!!
exactly
The Israeli Jews could never get away with their wrongdoing if it wasn't for the unconditional political and military support of the USA. That support in turn would not be possible without the humongously strong US Jewish Lobby, overwhelmingly supported by the US Jewish community and Israel. Thus, it's all of Judaism that's behind this wrongdoing.
"The Israeli Jews ----"
One of my rules:
NEVER equate The State to the people it rules
Netanyahu would love people to think that The State of Israel represents all jews.
"The Israeli Jews" mean those Jews who control Israel. What can be simpler?
Why are you obfuscating this? It's the same as saying, "The United States..." We don't mean every US citizen, we mean the people who control the actions of the US.
"Netanyahu would love people to think that The State of Israel represents all jews."
You put words in my mouth. I never would say, "all Jews." I think you're smart enough to know that, and so maybe you're intentionally trying to obfuscate. But maybe you're not that smart. Maybe you're just corrupt? It's a serious offense to lie about the statements someone makes.
Maybe you just don't want to see the word "Jew" in the same sentence that cites wrongdoing? It's as if Jews are beyond criticism. Are they "The Chosen" to you? Not to me.
The question is: are Jewish leaders still Jews when they‘re doing or asking to do what we are considering wrongdoing?
Or have they become Non-Jews by becoming Zionists?
You ask the right question.
It's incorrect to say that the perpetrators are Zionists or Israelis. Zionism is a philosophy that Jews use to justify their wrongdoing. Likewise, Freedom or Democracy are ideas that the US often uses to justify its wrongdoing, and it would be wrong to say that Freedomists or Democratists are doing the wrongdoing. It's the USA that's the culprit in the same way that it's Judaism that's the culprit. Also, it's incorrect to say that Israel is the culprit. It's the Israeli Jews plus the US Jewish leaders, via the US Jewish community, that is the conglomerated culprit. We need to stop believing what we are told. Think for ourselves.

You're not stupid, Jamenta, but there is a whole lot of it going around.
A friend once said to me "I didn't think I was very smart until I took a look and saw all the dummies around me."
Using a fictional genocide to support real antisemitism.
Very nicely explained by Erich Fromm (for me a very wise man), he knew humans but did not loose hope!
How is it formed in the first place?
Netanyahu will say anything to keep murdering innocent people in Gaza. One thing Oct 7th showed us is Israel owns the US government and Im not surprised Phil is supporting Israel, he's selling a new book right now. They're all the same, they talk out of both sides of their mouths, in private they say one thing and in public they say something else. Well Im beyond sick of seeing children blown to bits, Im sick of seeing parents wailing over their dead children. I guess money from Israel is more important than human life, maybe some of those assholes should actually go there and witness it first hand.
Even the people who support Israel should be against Israel’s hold on our government. Especially the people who bitched for 5 years about Russia Russia Russia, but are totally silent on Israel’s control.
That’s high grade anti-semitism! Prepare to be sent to a gulag across 4 different dimensions.😂
My bags are packed and the dog is fed.
😁
Besides being a crooked and psychotic murderer, Netanyahu is also trying his best to keep his country riled up and distracted for as long as possible, in an effort to avoid his much-deserved criminal prosecution and to stay out of jail. Much like Trump.
It isn't just Netanyahu Leon, a large majority of Israelis favour killing & ethnic cleansing Gazans & other Palestinians. Nor is killing goyem a new thing, they've been doing it for millennia, although before they converted to Judaism in the 8th century the Khazars used to do it anyway for pleasure & profit.
Bullshit Con Phil has no room to talk about souls and sanity. I refuse to call him doctor anymore.
I have been thinking every Israel supporter in congress and the Whitehouse should be sentenced to life in Gaza.
I think you mean death in Gaza because thats whats happening right now, massive death. But I agree with you, they should all go and watch the children mourn their parents deaths and parents mourn the deaths of their children and for what, fuck all but greed.
For the OIl and Gas Fields owned by the Palestinians, and to remove those pesky Muslims and over time extend the borders of the Jewish state. And build the "NEW SUEZ" for shipping..
I was relieved for the US peoples sake, to read that this Dr Phil, deregistered himself in 2006,
Cat, please!
Let us pretend that every single protester (Jewsih protesters included!) were protesting for no reason other than antisemitism. This isn't the case, but work with me, here.
How does that make Israel's genocide okay?
Hope you didn't TM this because I'm using it!
"Cat, please!"?
I am so totally over the whole mythical "antisemitism" crisis. It's so disingenuous. And meanwhile thousands of innocents are being slaughtered. Netanyahu is the poster child for Machiavellian psychopathy
The irony is that constant Zionist demands for special pleading and double standards, not to mention smearing any criticism as antisemitism identical to that of Hitler or Himmler, has created more genuine antisemites than all the idiocies ever posted on Stormfront.
Not to mention it makes the rest of us just roll our eyes when we hear someone called an antisemite. Not saying we should. We shouldn't.
Anti-semitism is just an instance of general racism, bigotry, and xenophobia that exists against many other ethnicities and groups. That they claim "exceptional" status for anti-semitism is akin to the US claiming "exceptional", Europe the "garden", etc. The version of a "white man's burden". Their suffering is more exceptional than others'.
I was talking out of my ass, I do remember fighting with people on Rumble about loving the Jewish people and disliking the Genocidal Zionists. At some point I thought I was being trolled for fun.
1. Oh, it's a lot more rare than the professional victim set would have you think.
2. The ACLU has since become a Team D sockpuppet and wholly-owned subsidiary.
Yes, revolution is coming. With 2 people in the u.s. having more wealth than the bottom 50% it's inevitable. Is victim status diversion, I think so.
Just like Critical Race theory and woke ideology creates more racism
He might be a psychopath, but it's not fair to criticise him for his struggles with his mental illness when he's even willing to talk about his symptoms he deals with to Dr. Phil on TV, which is proof he's getting the help he needs if not all he would like.
Psychopathy is associated with something called semantic aphasia that prevents sufferers of the neurological disorder from being able to find words to describe emotions and their inner emotional world the way you or I can, so it may seem he's justifying his slaughter in Gaza, but doubtlessly he's actually only trying to talk about what he feels with America's greatest doctor, which is bloodlust.
It's not easy being a psychopathic apartheid state leader, let alone a mass murderer, and especially not a Jewish one—the studies show all but one of those are associated with negative life outcomes. Luckily, Dr. Phil is on the job and there to help. When a mass murderer is facing a crisis, it's important to intervene quickly and early that way you can prevent any violence before it happens, and maybe even save a life in the process.
The biggest problem besides anti-Semitism is honestly probably stigma; Netanyahu needs to start opening up about his problems and talking about them more, that way the public can learn to understand them and his struggle with being a genocidal psychopath. Can you imagine having to deal with that every day, especially being Jewish, and waking up every morning with the overwhelming urge to violently slaughter millions of people, yet struggling to communicate the way you feel and afraid others will judge you for it?
When you think about it, it's actually perfectly understandable and valid, and if he spoke about his issues more like he did with America's top doc, a lot more people would be empathising with Israel's side. It's 2024, are we seriously this far behind when it comes to destigmatisation?
(In case it would not be as glaringly obvious as it should be—you never know these days—I'm being satirical...)
>>"(In case it would not be as glaringly obvious as it should be—you never know these days—I'm being satirical...)"
Thank you for clarifying, because there are people in the world that are evil and stupid enough to say the things above and mean them (as has been evident from observing MSM and the political elites).
Yes, the first few sentences had me hooked into a line of thought and then the brilliance of sarcasm hit.
Lol… I was keeping my fingers crossed that your remark WAS satirical, Emma….I have no clue if “Dr.” Phil is still on the air, but his show was one step way from Jerry Springer’s 😂
I laughed out loud, thank you for this in these seriously dark times.
Keep at it, Caitlin. It is so damn frustrating to be confronted with these people. That kid at Yale, how can she claim she was deliberately poked in the eye? Does she not realize that for her nationalistic needs, she is slandering an innocent person? Oh I get it, it's ok to lie about and slander anyone who supports the Palestinian cause.. Into Hillary's basket of despicables with you!
Deplorables , although in this case I like despicables : )
That gal also threw a very well publicized fit when the Yale Dining Hall changed the name of a dish called Israeli couscous. Big attention-seeker.
And couscous isn’t “Israeli” at all. It’s Moroccan 😂
Funny, I boycott everything remotely associated with israel even as far as using uppercase respect ha. israel has ended itself financially as long as the u.s. taxpayer doesn't allow billions in economic aid being funneled to israel.

Hi Landru
I’ve been BDSing for years. And I like your idea of not capitalizing israhell!
Part of the problem is that its been two years now with the masses already swallowing the gaslighting tactics that claim the "west" are not supporting Nazis in Ukraine, and that Russia is fighting an "unprovoked" war against Ukraine.
Even when the facts come out, the masses have not rebelled agains the big lie
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html
So no wonder they felt they could go ahead with the gaslighting about "antisemitism".
However it seems they have bitten of more than they can chew. Nobody is buying it anymore and only the more extreme fools still repeat this stuff. It pretty much identifies liars and idiots now.
"Ukraine" has been created in the image of Israel. They crave to be like Israel in terms of being fed and clothed etc in exchange for being a poke in Russia's eye. Just like Israel is for the Middle East.
When I was a kid I was told a story about a boy who cried, "Wolf." It didn't end well. Now I'm watching a disturbingly similar story take place in front of my eyes about people who cry, "Antisemitism."

👏👏👏💯
Butcher Boy Netanyahu and his henchmen are Zionists, which we know is a variation of fascism. They are hiding under the skirts of antisemitism to incriminate all peoples of the Jewish faith. I said earlier we must make a clear distinction between Zionists and the rest of the Jewish community. Non-Zionists should make it clear this is not done in their name, and many are. Netanyahu plays very dirty when tries to tar all Jews with his Zionist brush.
That Bibi should be thrown in JAIL! Why is he allowed to commit war crimes and the world still supports them? If we have a problem with it, we're some how antisemitic. Any other group of people you call out for crimes os ok but when you try to get Israel to account for theirs, it's some how "hate speech." I'm so tired of it.
Great piece once again Caitlin. I'm so happy I found your substack page. You're such a fantastic writer. 🙏❤️
Well said : )
"I mean, how do you even argue with someone like this?" - you don't, because they are not interested in figuring it out. It's the rule-based order for them and what they say goes.
There are occasional trolls showing up in this forum, sometimes in time, sometimes late, creating droppings of inane stuff. One must be a complete moron in believing what they say. I tend to think most of them are just hasbara employees doing rounds on internet blogs.
Exactly, I have seen the same username repeating the same garbage on another site word for word.
I have often found myself reacting with a vaguely uncomfortable feeling when I have seen Hasidic or Orthodox Jewish men in the city (mostly in Melbourne), but since the current concern about antisemitism blew up and I have seen so many of these men speaking out against the genocide in Palestine I have developed a new understanding and respect for Judaism, as well as a clear recognition of the evils of Zionism. I am also constantly struck by the reaction of Palestinians when facing the most horrendous agonies and anguish - they do not swear vengeance, death and destruction against Zionists, though they surely deserve it and will one day reap the whirlwind.
Many moons ago, when I was in college, I opted to take a course in Literature that studied the King James Bible. Believe it or not, the Bible is respected as a fine work of literature, putting aside what one might make of the authenticity of its stories etc. That was the reason I took the course, to mainly examine its literary worth - not theological worth. The course was taught by a professor of literature who also happened to be a Jewish Rabbi. However, I felt he provided a very rational, and balanced approach to interpreting the works found in King James, and he also was well grounded in historical critical analysis - i.e. he did not deny the bible was written with many different sources, or that there is a long documented history of the evolution of the text and books/chapters we have today. However, that did not detract from the literary value, which we explored in the course, with some of the remarkable early story gems of primarily the Old Testament. The New Testament was more of a contradictory mess with less expository value, though we did also spend some time on it as well. After finishing the class, I gained a greater respect for orthodox Judaism, along with some of the Judaic traditions. My final quarter paper was written on the life of Joseph, which I found particularly of interest, especially the dreams he had, and how he was able to become a master interpreter of dreams. There is no doubt in my mind today, Zionism has nothing to do with fundamental Jewish tenets. I consider Zionism the complete opposite of what it would mean to be a true practicing Jew. Zionism is an ideology and abomination against everything the religion is suppose to stand for. There is no greater evil than genocide.
Well said, Jamenta!
Thanks.
G'day Jamenta,
Rabbis are very plausible, that's what they do.
The OT has inspired bits but its full of genocidal crap put there to indoctrinate primitive Judaic tribesmen. It's inclusion in the Bible was engineered by Pharisees to destroy Christ Jesus' divine revelations as part of the the Pharisees' fitly successful attempt to distort, corrupt & eradicate Jesus' Good News that ensouled humn beings re indwelt by fragment of Creator consciousness & gifted with reincarnation in order to grow in consciousness & wisdom to become like God. The St James version was a further rewrite to further distort Jesus' message as was the Schofield Bible.
See eg: https://ronchapman.substack.com/p/sister-christian-clif-high-that-walk

*************
can you ask him to stop the genocide asap, please ?
There are many non-religious and non-orthodox Jews also protesting, including in Israel itself. But they're massively drowned out by the racist propaganda machine.
Members of the Biden administration should be made to consider 18 U.S. Code § 1091 the law that brought the genocide convention into US law. Put this statute in their faces, up front and center at every protest at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad.
They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they leave office, given they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives.
The propagandists in the Mainstream Media need to be encouraged to think about their culpability as well.
Let us find the way!
“dr Phil” — what a repulsive creature he is
I used to like the guy, but the stories I've heard about him in the last decade, and now this.
Yikes. :(
He reminds me of various cartoon characters.

The more Jews loudly supporting Israel unconditionally no matter the brutality the more chance that real antisemitism takes root. Tying Zionism to Judaism will cause this.
I agree. Netanyahu is playing with fire and it doesn’t help when 93% of Israelis are in favor of blocking all aid into Gaza and doesn’t think that Israel is doing enough to wipe out the Palestinians.
I can’t figure out how people who were genocided can turn a blind eye and support genocide against others.
"I guess you just hate hobbits,” they’d say."
If these babbling idiots, who keep pushing fictional hate crimes against Jewish persons, keep up their lies then We the Sane will really start hating "hobbits". They're actually creating their own problems, forcing the rest of us to dislike them, but that must be what it takes in their minds to cover up a full-fledged genocide. But the polls are still showing most folks don't believe a word of it and want the ethnic cleansing to stop, thankfully.
And never believe a single thing about "Dr. Phil." The man lost his license to practice as a psychologist because of his sexual advances with his patients. That's how he wound up on TV--he couldn't make a living as a therapist anymore with that on his record. Look it up. Phil and Bibi are both big lying hobbits.
Funny you should say that about dear Dr. Phil. A friend of my sister’s is a flight attendant and told her years ago that he had a string of women on his private jet after he made it big with his association with Oprah and his dumb self-help book.
He’s not a doctor
He's not even a licensed psychologist (PhD or PsyD). He lost that when he was caught having sex with his female patients, a breach of ethics.
Another thing on the United States' to do list: stick to the definition of what it means to be a doctor and enforce it.
I bet Oprah knew about Phil's unethical actions and promoted him anyway.
Well said!
Eric Alterman of the Nation is an important liberal, and he made the statement in 2009 at the 92d Street Y, celebrating his dual loyalty.
I’m deeply grateful to him for his honest.
”You know, one of the touchiest words you can say when you’re discussing Jews and Israel is the word dual loyalty. It’s sort of one of those words that American Jewish officialdom has ruled out of the discourse. If you say dual loyalty, you’re playing into the hands of anti-semites, because it’s been a consistent trope among anti-Semites that you can’t trust Jews. etc. etc.
And I find this very confusing because I was raised dually loyal my whole life.
When I went to Hebrew school, the content of my Hebrew school was all about supporting Israel.
When my parents who I think are here tonight sent me to Israel when I was 14, on a ZOA [Zionist Organization of America]-sponsored trip it was drummed into me that I should do what’s best for Israel.
I was at the Center for Jewish History not long ago where I heard Ruth Wisse, the Yiddishist professor at Harvard instruct a group of young Jewish journalists that they should think of themselves as members of the Israeli army. …
I am a dual loyal Jew and sometimes I’m going to actually go with Israel, because the United States can take an awful lot of hits and come up standing.
Whereas if Israel takes one serious bad hit it could disappear. So there’s going to be some cases where when Israel and the United States conflict I’m going to support what’s best for Israel rather than what I think is best for the United States.
Then-editor of the Forward Jane Eisner: Can you imagine a time where you would feel that dual loyalty and go with Israel?
Alterman: I just said, there are many occasions.
Eisner: Can you give us an example?
Alterman:… I think that bin Laden and 9/11 were to some degree inspired by U.S. support of Israel. I think a great deal of the terrorist attacks and the sort of pool of potential terrorists who want to attack the United States are inspired by the United States support for Israel. I’m not saying we shouldn’t support Israel for that reason. I’m saying, Dammit if that’s the price we have to pay, then I’m willing to pay it. I’m just saying Let’s be honest about it.” ...
Just think that what Alterman said is not condemned…..he suffers nothing for admitting that he is basically a traitor who would sacrifice Americans for the Jewish state.
Unbelievable…..staggers the mind how this kind of Jew treason is so accepted in America…..just staggering.
How did this kind of treason come to be O.K. for the Jews?
It came from this kind of treason…..
Nancy Pelosi Addressing AIPAC in December of last year:
“I have said to people when they ask me, if this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain would be our commitment to our aid, I don’t even call it our aid, our cooperation with Israel. That’s fundamental to who we are.”"

Excellent comment. Many thanks. You illustrate the tip of the iceberg on the brainwashing that Jews have accomplished in US society. One of the latest examples is the "working definition" and "non-binding" definition of "anti-Semitism," which is an insult to human intelligence. And then the stupid governments in the US and other western countries adopt it. They say "non-binding." What's that supposed to mean, when in the US it will enable Greenblatt, a professional defamer who heads the Jewish Defamation League, to destroy peoples' lives? It's as if US government and citizens obey the Jewish command to don their mental straitjackets.
