"My first encounter with Israelis was when I was backpacking through South America in my twenties, and I remember being shocked by how consistently awful they all were.

Give any group of humans unlimited rights and special pleading and zero obligations, and you'll get Instant Assholes. Don't even need to add water.
SICKRAEL – the State of Hate and the greatest intended mass murderer of children in history. Anyone who says that represents Judaism must really hate Jews.
Thank you Roslyn for clarifying something for me. There is a difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. I know that. Hell, Palestinians are Semites! I'm certainly not an antisemite but I am an antizionist.
I was reading another Substack writer and had difficulty trying to figure out if he's a Nazi. You helped me do so.
It is interesting to read the history of Zionism. The Zionists were atheists but needed Jewish money, a story and numbers. They despised European Jews for allowing the Germans to triumph over them. They also killed Jews who opposed Zionism.
A lot of Jews, particularly Orthodox opposed Zionism from the start but many did not and chose to ride what must have been at least unconsciously, the glory train of Jewish superiority. I think a lot of Jews, particularly the fake ones, atheists, really got off on the idea that they were smarter, better and superior to all other humans.
Not really. That is the Zionist story. The smart people were the Germans and many Germans were Jews but the culture not the religion created the smarts. Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet and Jews are not.
Many Germans are good at what they do but that's it. They are not called "Fachidiot" for no reason. They are so narrow-minded and have tunnel vision. In fact very dumb and now especially disgusting supporting genocide of Palestinians. New German Gestapo beating and jailing peaceful anti-genocide protesters. A true western culture. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock publicly stating that it is OK for Israel to target Palestinian civilians in a war!!!! Seems like lesson of WW2 was not good enough for Germany.
"Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet" - you might be confusing skill/professionalism in a narrow field with overall intelligence.
.... yet Germany still has plenty falling for the Nazi schtick again. Perhaps it is wrong to speak of smart/smartest people. When Jews in Europe were up against prejudice and discrimination, they had a culture of education. Now they are in Israel as the U.S. empire's protégé, some of them have become monsters.
IF ISRAEL ENDS THE OCCUPATION AND RELEASES SIX MILLION PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES THEN THEY GET THEIR HUNDRED OR SO HOSTAGES BACK. SOUNDS FAIR.
Yes the Palestinian Resistance was on a mission to take hostages because that has been the only language Israel has ever spoken. Hence the invention of the Hannibal Directive. And since Israeli hostages are swapped for Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons, at this point more than 10,000, hundreds of them children, held without charge or trial and tortured AND RAPED it is understandable that the Palestinians wanted hostages.
Your 'brave' soldiers and police are guilty, as are the vast majority of Israeli civilians having served in the army, of the most horrific crimes and atrocities against the Palestinians and were legitimate targets for a Resistance militia.
Well said! We humans behave as badly as we're allowed to, and as well as we're compelled to. Forgive the cynicism, but that's been my observation over 63 years ....
"Give any group of humans unlimited rights and special pleading and zero obligations . . ."
Which, of course, is pretty similar to Lord Acton's famous (but very underrated) observation, that all power tends to corrupt, and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It really is about time for the world's population to see Israelis for who they are and what they have become through the developed skills of being able to use money as a stepping stone to power, cultivating the weaknesses in others to gain an advantage and using any developed power to further their level of skills in developing the next step, bribery and corruption to gain influence.
Because we are all influenced by and respectful of success, Israeli successes, often due to well financed government support in new enterprises, but often with business practices that often contain little in the way of consideration for others, have been tolerated in places like the UK, where they have even risen to be respected and rewarded accordingly with the way the English do this through Knighthoods, Lordships, sickly pomp and circumstance and often, too often, political authority and influence over some hundreds of years.
This has built up into a level of respectfulness which has definitely been an error, a great deal of which needs to be reconsidered if anyone is likely to ever respect any Jew, anywhere, after they have been made to discontinue their genocide actions and to conform to the majority opinion of other countries and are most severely punished for their actions. Naturally, this does not include the USA, strapped tightly into a Jewish made and expanding environment and treated by their captors, Israel, as a pathetic host (in their own country).
How's that for a deserved punishment. But sadly, it will affect the people and not the politicians, warmongers and CIA operatives along the road ahead. They'll survive.
But even then, they will still be Jews, Israelis, Zionists and on and thereby sits the problem.
Their breed hides in many guises, under many names, right now the most descriptive being cold-blooded barbaric murderers, butchers, rapists, child killers, summarising as perhaps the most hated people in history. However, based on the total subservience of the white Western leaders, this does not YET include those naive corrupted countries who can't see the wood for the trees.. They will. Their people will make it happen......one day.
The world does not need people like Israelis occupying space on our planet.
While we are on this subject, do not be deluded into thinking that the Jews living in other countries, often your next door neighbours (if you are wealthy) dual-passported as so many are, have a loyalty to their new country.
History over time has found this not to be the case. They all have a bond with the 9 million fellow Israelis and always will have.
Ask any Jewish person you know if they support Israel, but be prepared for just another lie, dished out daily as in Tel Aviv by the truckload.
They are what they are and have always been since Israel was created on stolen land by the British, one of those Western countries in bed with Israel and all its crimes.
There are and always were Jews who were exceptions. Too many got their rocks off on the bullshit stories about Ditzrael because it pandered to their ego.
True, Roslyn and I have known many as well, a long time ago.
But when the chips are down, like now, the name of the game is sticking together, and that's the truth of it. There is safety in numbers. Check the sponsorship list for both the Democrats and Republicans. Billions for both.....and they are so called "Americans".
Yes, you make a good point which I had forgotten. Human nature being what it is people will return to the tribe if they think it is safer, even when it is not, but so they do not feel alone. Judaism has thousands of years belief in persecution, victimhood and superiority - unconsciously of course they are hated because they are superior. This creates a morphogenetic field which operates unconsciously in real Jews and fake atheists. There are exceptions but they are few. It is a matter of how much Judaic paranoia has been diluted by living normally as citizens.
Let us not forget what country/countries is/are giving unconditional support to Israel, and realize that means all the bombs, delivery systems, and other forms of weaponry it wants. The people and corporations creating and profitting from this weaponry also use the war in the Middle East to test its weapons systems which they then get to sell to whomever can pay for it as 'battle tested'. Without this weaponry, Israel's war would very quickly be over.
Yes, Yvonne. Let us not forget. The USA, totally responsible, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,. All the white Westerners, Christians at large.
Most through subservience and the acceptance by weak governments like Australia due to the total US dominance of their foreign policies.
But Germany?
There's the enigma. Why? And the extent to which Scholtz is taking this matter, reflected in his oft-quoted speeches. It barey beggars belief. I ask again...why?
One can understand Australia with both weak leaders of like mind, facing an election in six months but in thinking that their stated grovel-to-the-US-and Israel policies are appealing to the majority of voters is totally naive. Both are weak, both towing the US line and still under the illusion that Israel as a stolen state has some value. Not to the voters, it doesn't. Not for a split second.
If it vanished tomorrow, the world would be a better place. So say almost all of us.
The totally Israeli-controlled USA being the exception with an estimated 85% of 330 million people not knowing and seemingly not caring what their policies are from one day to the next, how many Arabic people are now dead through US support.
Genocide? What's that? A new Television program. What network is it on?
However, certainly not anyone who is into justice and humanitarian values, peaceful coexistence and respect.. A dying breed in both USA parties.
You have no idea bc you apparently have already decided that ALL ISRAELIS ARE ONE TYPE. THEYRE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BOMBED REPEATEDLY. DONT CARE WHAT U THINK. ARE ALL AMERICANS LIKE DONAL CRIMINAL TRUMP? No.
I had a similar encounter with Israelis here and this was after the Foreign Minister had told all Israeli's on holiday to be polite! They were obnoxious to the waiter in the restaurant/complained endlessly.
Jenny, I read a story about a Vietnamese restaurant owner who refused to serve IsraHelli tourists, though I believe it was more out of solidarity with Palestine.
"My first encounter with Israelis was when I was backpacking through South America in my twenties, and I remember being shocked by how consistently awful they all were.

I think a lot of Jews, particularly the fake ones, atheists, really got off on the idea that they were smarter, better and superior to all other humans.
European Jews were indeed among the smartest and most cultured on this continent. Boy, have Israelis done away with that image!
Not really. That is the Zionist story. The smart people were the Germans and many Germans were Jews but the culture not the religion created the smarts. Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet and Jews are not.

I've worked for German firms. They're nothing special.
"Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet" - you might be confusing skill/professionalism in a narrow field with overall intelligence.
Chinese are the wisest and thousands of years ago already the smartest tribe.
.... yet Germany still has plenty falling for the Nazi schtick again. Perhaps it is wrong to speak of smart/smartest people. When Jews in Europe were up against prejudice and discrimination, they had a culture of education. Now they are in Israel as the U.S. empire's protégé, some of them have become monsters.
Love this thought that anyone that says Israel’s atrocities represents Judaism hates Jews
Return the hostages. Don’t even get me started…..
10/7? Rape, murder. Jew haters will always be just that. Sorry. You’re wrong.
IF ISRAEL ENDS THE OCCUPATION AND RELEASES SIX MILLION PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES THEN THEY GET THEIR HUNDRED OR SO HOSTAGES BACK. SOUNDS FAIR.

Power is to sociopaths, what catnip is to cats.
If I were to ask a sagacious feline what proportion of humans were sociopaths, what answer do you think I might receive?
I have no idea. There is some question to what extent sociopathy is inherent and to what extent it is learned.
Interesting question.
From what I’ve observed of humanity Feral (remember, I’m a cat in a woman’s body) I’d make a guess of 10-15%.
Checks out.
Love that!
