“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Jew-hatred is about testing boundaries. What can be gotten away with? Stalin called Jews “rootless cosmopolitans” and “Zionists” to shield from being called a naked Jews-hater. But the way it works is once the coded version is sanctioned, it just about no time that the raw boorish Jew-hatred appears and no one blinks an eye.

If the left wants to maintain an authentic commitment to human rights, “it must oppose the movement that seeks the elimination of Israel and the purging from civil society of those marked as Zionists,” @adam_louis52328 argues. https://t.co/zaiZb7LnKw

Sally Rooney scapegoating Israel for the far right in Europe is not an outlier in the pro-Palestinian movement. Blaming the Jewish State for global ills is commonplace. It mirrors Nazi rhetoric exactly. That’s why antizionism is antisemitism.

In early March, hundreds of towns across Vermont met for their annual town meeting—a tradition that stretches back to 1762.

Bristol, a 3,782-person town, where parents let their kids run outdoors barefoot and leave their doors unlocked was one of nine considering a pledge condemning Israel as an “apartheid regime” guilty of “settler colonialism” and “military occupation,” @Olivia_Reingold reports.

At 11 p.m. that evening, the town passed the pledge.

“It’s ironic that Americans have taken up the cause, since many of the Arab nations that first deployed these boycott tactics back when Israel was formed in 1948 have dropped them one by one since; signing peace treaties and commencing trading with the Jewish state,” Reingold adds.

You’re darn tootin’, as the kids say, that Israel needs to make sure its nuclear deterrent is up to spec.

Is that racist?

It’s funny, because throughout the Arab and Muslim world, Israel’s nuclear deterrent never made anyone fear it might actually use a nuke in a fit of ideological pique. No one‘s fundamental policies changed when they believed Israel had developed nukes.

Because everyone understands in the region that it’s actually a deterrent, and nothing more.

Whereas Iran’s nuclear program caused a great shifting of Arab loyalties and fears, a reordering of regional power dynamics. Because no one in the region is ever really sure they won’t use it.

Mehdi wants you to believe this difference reflects Western racism. Or something. Easier to shout “racism” than to deal with the simple truth — that the Iranian regime is an imperialist martyrdom cult that its own neighbors think might actually use a nuke.

Mehdi doesn’t actually think I’m racist. It’s just the only cheap shot he has left to cover for the butchers of Syria and demolishers of Yemen, for mass-murdering religious fanatics who have driven their own country into the ground in pursuit of nukes that maybe, just maybe, it is perfectly capable of using offensively.

Journalist @HavivRettigGur says Donald Trump’s real mistake was entering a confrontation with Iran without being willing to pay the price required to win it.

“The Americans did not have the pain threshold to see this war through from the beginning.”

Remember when @CNN published a report claiming Israel was using 2,000-pound bombs that could kill people "more than 1,000 feet away?"

The implication was that the Jewish state was wantonly killing people without regard. Here's the truth:

[Adam Louis-Klein @adam_louis52328]

I'm pleased to share an essay I wrote for @TheAtlantic.

As a left-wing Jew who supports universal human rights, I argue that opposition to antizionism flows from those values. For more than a century, antizionism has justified the erasure of Jewish life, the expulsion of Jews, and violence and discrimination against those marked as "Zionists."

The Democratic Party—and all people of conscience—should condemn it.

[Andrés Spokoiny 🌟🌟🌟 @Spokoiny]

This is one of the worst form of antisemitism: defining what Judaism is on Jews' behalf. Judaism is NOT a faith. It's a faith, a people, a nation, a culture and an ethnic group. It's all these categories, because Judaism exists from longer than any of those words.

I am a bit of a student of those who hate me and my fellow Jews. My masters is in Holocaust and Genocide History. So, I know a little something about Jew Hate, and, it has long been clear to me that Sally Rooney and Ta-Nehisi Coates, like Roald Dahl before them, are blood libeling Jew-haters who - when they are not lying - are deluding themselves with imagined conspiracies of evil Jewish plots - like the pathetic loser Nazis, Soviets, and the Pogroms staging medieval peasants of yore. I hold them both in contempt. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

[Jonathan Eric Lewis @LewisJonathanE]

When Palestine becomes the Omnicause, it follows that everything you don't like in the world leads back to Israel - even housing prices and availability in Manhattan

This isn't a critique of Israeli policy

It's conspiratorial slop, designed to inflame rather than to inform

To demonize, rather than to humanize
