Brass necked cheek doesnโt come near this allegation. We were at the border shortly after October 7 and met a broken elderly survivor. All his life he had been a believer in peace and coexistence, had waited at the border to take Gazans to hospital in Israel and saw Gazans as his friends.
He recognised some of those โfriendsโ amongst the people who took advantage of the massacre, and the breach in the fence near his kibbutz. They surged after the murderers, rapists, torturers and kidnappers in order to loot and vandalise kibbutz homes. They defiled newly murdered Israeli bodies. They were crazed with hate.
He told us that all his beliefs were destroyed on October 7.
And these are the people Israel is accused of not employing?
The relentless gaslighting of Jews is deliberate and criminal.
I expect youโve read a similar description before but hearing it at first hand compels me to bear witness.
We must however find ways to celebrate being Jewish because if we donโt then the haters win. Life and simchot must go on despite the horrors of the human condition, and specifically, the Jewish human condition.
Shabbat shalom and give blessings that after all these years weโre still here.
Jewish gay activist Meir Brauner has left Italy and returned to Israel, saying he no longer feels safe living openly as a Jew in Rome.
Brauner, deputy director of Keshet Italia, an Italian Jewish LGBTQ organization, says the atmosphere has deteriorated sharply since October 7. He claims many of his non-Jewish friends now refuse to speak to him while regularly posting anti-Israel content online.
His organization was barred from Rome Pride after refusing to sign a statement accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.
He says that during last year's Pride march, activists screamed at Jewish participants that they did not believe October 7 had happened and threatened them with death.
Brauner now hides his Star of David necklace on public transport, avoids speaking Hebrew in public and worries people will see Hebrew on his phone.
@Olivia_Reingold Antizionism is a hate movement that seeks the destruction of Jewish peoplehood and the Jewish state.
It relies on libels and fabrications to manufacture consent for violence against Jews in Israel and the Diaspora.
Few movements today depend as heavily on lies.
How different is this barbaric hate on display on the streets of Rome than barbaric medieval anti-semitism, witch burnings, and the Spanish Inquisition?
The Soviet Union created antizionism.
DEI delivered antizionism to the West.
What began as Soviet antizionist propaganda was repackaged through the language of "equity," "oppression," and "decolonization" and imported into Western institutions.
Universities, corporations, media, institutions, government.
Antizionism did NOT spread on its own. It was taught.
What was once Soviet propaganda became institutional doctrine.
If you built DEI, funded it, promoted it, or defended it, it's time to ask what exactly you helped import.
Antizionism was delivered through Marxist frameworks.
Are you willing to confront it???
Antizionism is a civilizational problem.
To stop antizionism, we must address the ideological frameworks that enable it.

Thank you, @JesseBrown , for exposing what too many refuse to name.
Antizionist demonization spreads through libels, exclusion, censorship, denial, and erasure of Jewish history until Jews are pushed out of professional spaces, academic spaces, social spaces, and eventually targeted with violence.
This is how hate movements work.
First they dehumanize.
Then they isolate.
Then they justify the consequences and deny wrong doing.
Antizionism is not criticism.
It is a hate movement.

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share.
This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots.
I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance.
I hope people like @MOSSADil@marklevinshow@DefiyantlyFree@BillAckman@ACTBrigitte@jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.
Watch this. Full 7 minutes.
Palestinian activists at the 2024 Peopleโs Conference for Palestine openly celebrated Oct 7, called for โbringing the war home,โ and mapped out destroying America from within.
Theyโre openly calling for their fellow American Palestinians to sacrifice themselves just like the martyrs of Gaza.
This isnโt protest. Itโs a declared campaign against the United States.
They said it themselves.
Massive credit to @canarymission
We now know from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel that The New York Times was made aware weeks before publishing Nicholas Kristofโs explosive op-ed that the independent commission, an NGO, was investigating and going to report on Hamasโ systemic use of sexual violence against Israeli women, girls, and men.
Remember, initially, we all thought it was just women and girls, and that was horrible enough. We now know Hamas at gunpoint forced men to have sexual relations with family members in their homes, something we really havenโt seen in the world much since Rwanda. Horrible stuff.
And The New York Times, according to Israel and the NGO, was made aware that this report was going come out May 12th. The NGO, independent from the government of Israel, asked for permission to run an article detailing its findings in The New York Times.
The New York Times responded that they were not interested in running an article on Hamasโ use of sexual violence against Israelis. And then the day beforeโnot a week before, not a month before, not a week afterโthe day before, on May 11th, The New York Times runs this explosive Kristof piece.
Remember, The New York Times had said it was not interested in this subject. Then, the day before the NGO released its report, the paper ran an explosive piece that blamed the victims. Now, the Israelis are the perpetrators of mass systemic sexual violence against Palestinians. It flips everything on its head.
@DavidKlion Having known Ruth Wisse personally, I can say that her views are rooted in intellectual conviction, historical understanding, and moral clarity. Your infantile and libelous portrayal of her says nothing about Ruth and a great deal about your own shortcomings.
In 1980, shortly after the Camp David Accords resulted in the evacuation of the Jewish settlements in the Sinai, a debate erupted within the Gush Emunim movement, which had emerged to settle Judea and Samaria in the wake of Israel's victories in 1967. An article appeared by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner arguing that Mashiach ben Yosefโthe messianic figure traditionally associated with the material and political rebuilding of the Land, preparing the way for Mashiach ben David and the final geulahโhad "died." The dismantling of the settlements suggested to Aviner and others that secular Zionism had in some sense reached its limit, that it had failed to awaken the spiritual promise that Rav Kook had once seen latent within it, in its yearning for the Land of Israel.
Hanan Porat, one of the leading figures of Gush Emunim, responded that the answer was not retreat. The task was not to abandon the secular dimension of Jewish return, nor to leave the ground to secular Zionism alone, but to recognize that Mashiach ben David must himself contain both dimensions within him: the body and the soul, the secular and the sacred, the guf and the neshama united as one.
Today it is difficult not to feel a similar sensation. Not only do we face antizionists who oppose Jewish presence throughout the Land of Israel, but also large segments of the liberal Jewish world that struggle to perceive any kedusha in the return of Jews to Judea and Samaria, or indeed in the return to the Land as a sacred event at all. Once again one wonders whether the task before us is the same one Hanan Porat identified more than forty years ago: to reunite the neshama and the guf, the soul and the body of Jewish history.
Perhaps that happens precisely through digesting, swallowing up, and deconstructing the leftist universalisms that now oppose themselves to Judaism. Not by rejecting them outright, but by drawing them back into Judaism itself, stripping them of their pretensions to stand above or beyond the Jewish people. Perhaps only then can they be reintegrated into a renewed Judaism, until Judaism shines forth with the cosmopolitan universalism that it is still lacking.
โThe symposium was organized around a conceptual distinction that Stop Antizionism considers foundational: the difference between misinformation and disinformation. Pro-Israel advocacy has operated on the assumption that antizionism spreads because people lack accurate information, that correction and education are the appropriate remedies.
The symposium challenged that premise directly.
Antizionism is not a collection of honest errors awaiting correction. It is a structured ideological system with roots in Soviet-era propaganda, designed not to inform but to subvert. Libels, by their nature, do not respond to factual rebuttal, they operate through emotional and moral channels that bypass evidentiary standards.โ @benshapiro@BenCohenOpinion@EinatWilf@PamelaParesky@ConceptualJames@GadSaad@pianozack@nicolelampert@yudapearl@nick_matau@TheModerateCase@SAntizionism
