If Jews Are Concerned About Anti-Semitism Then They Should Stop Acting As a Moral Alibi for Extermination, Torture and Famine

Making tents out of aid parachutes, waiting days for a tin of beans, re-digging graves to bury more martyrs: here’s what Palestinians have to overcome.
The daily battles to survive the Gaza genocide
Benjamin Netanyahu is not deterred by diplomatic tough talk behind closed doors. The only thing that can defeat him politically is the end of the war itself — something the United States has the power to make happen.
Benjamin Netanyahu Does Not Respond to “Tough Talk”

The term “Zionist lobby” would be better described as “pro-Israel lobby”. Israel is not a Jewish only state, even with its quite exclusionary 2018 Nation State law. Some 20% of its population is not Jewish. There are no mainstream organisations in the Australian Jewish community that advocate a Jewish only state.
Israel is arguably at its most precarious moment in national security since its founding, with the public’s confidence in both political and military leaders at an all-time low. The question is whether Israelis will start to openly challenge the working assumptions on which their security has been based for decades. If they fail, or are unable, to do so, they can only pray that the other key actors — the U.S. and Iran — find it sufficiently in their interests to pull us all back from the abyss.
From 1933 to 1939, Hitler provided the future government of Israel with the assets of German Jews in exchange for aid undermining an international anti-Nazi boycott.
“An Indispensable Factor in the Creation of the State of Israel”
The collusion between Nazis and Zionists reached its apex in “the Transfer Agreement,” an arrangement between them that allowed the former to undermine an international boycott against German goods and the latter to access the assets of German Jews. The partnership between such ostensible enemies underscored the one point on which they both agreed: Jews had no future in Europe.
Proof positive Zionists put the Israeli nation-state over Jews themselves. German Jews at the center of were relatively non-Zionist, wealthy and assimilated into German society. While supportive of the voluntary migration to Palestine from places like Poland, a stronghold of Zionism they were much more likely to seek refuge in neighboring European countries. Even the Nazis acknowledged the fundamental disconnect between German Jews and Zionism. Estimated to be only 1 or 2 per cent of German Jews who considered themselves assimilated, loyal Germans.
Zionism was equally repugnant to orthodox German Jews, who spurned Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land on religious grounds (e.g. that only the Jewish Messiah could reinstate the Kingdom of the Jews). In 1933, then, Zionism in Germany was a mere Jewish fringe movement. To even say that only 4% today don’t support Netanyahu is fiction as 20% of Israelis are Orthodox.
In 1933 Zionists were equally self-interested: If German Jews were going anywhere but Palestine, their $$$ could not be put toward building the Jewish state.
So, the Nazis and the Zionists were well-positioned to help each other. The Nazis could grant the Zionists access to the assets of those German Jews forcefully deported, and the Zionists could help the Nazis undermine the international boycott.
The negotiations suited both parties and included future prime ministers David Ben-Gurion, Levi Eshkol and Golda Meir: The assets of German Jews were liquidated kept and used to pay for German-made goods destined for Palestine. That agreement allowed the Nazis to continue expelling German Jews withholding their capital and using it instead to finance the import and export of German goods to Palestine, undermining the international boycott. For their part, the Zionists were able to establish an economic base for the future Israeli state. Had this not occurred on a large scale the Nazi government may have fallen by 1934,
Zionists prioritizing the Israeli nation-state over Jews goes on today. While Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli government maintain that they are acting in the interests of Jews everywhere, they are in fact whipping up antisemitism their forever driving force to get Jews to flee to mother Israel. Even as anti-Zionist Jewish groups in the diaspora like Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow decry the daily Gazan massacres, and Israelis take to the streets to demand their government accept a cease-fire deal. While Netanyahu’s government continues to declare even more of the hostages in Gaza to be dead.

“Jews Against the Squad”
“The bottom line is and it’s a sad one, we need to be supportive ON PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL of the alt right Christian Neo Nazis.”
In AIPAC’s absence, a Samuels campaign staffer and pro-Israel super PAC donors strategize to oust another Squad member.
“We are making History!!!” he wrote. “My daughter knows that it is something important. She and I call Ilhan the wicked witch and when she goes to school some days she tells all her classmates that ‘her daddy has an important job fighting the wicked witch.’ This is a memory that all of us can hold onto forever. Being a part of getting rid of the squad!”

The Trump fatigue has become so great, though, my belief is that any Democrat of even modest repute might have stepped into the nomination and won. We are tired of his anger and name calling and lying about subjects as mundane as crowd size comparisons between his speeches and those of civil rights leader Martin Luther King. Further, how does he think he can win by calling Kamala Harris a “fucking bitch” while rolling around on a golf cart? As Trump begins to suffer from crowd envy and the huge numbers of people drawn to hear her message of freedom and hope, joy instead of rage, he seems to forget to use his orange face spray and begins to look weary and disaffected. My suspicion is he would drop out if he were not worried about being convicted of his early crimes against the country and thus not being able to pardon himself. His last threat will be to the electoral system that tallies his defeat and he will try to destroy the republic before he goes out the door. There exists, at least for now, a considerable chance he will soon be gone.
And Americans can start working again on their optimism and hope.

Trump’s popularity with his base isn’t the result of economic anxiety, as many claimed in 2016. It’s about race and demographics.
In 1980, white people accounted for about 80 percent of the U.S. population.
In 2024, white people account for about 58 percent of the U.S. population.
Trump appeals to white people gripped by demographic hysteria. Especially older white people who grew up when white people represented a much larger share of the population. They fear becoming a minority.
While the Census Bureau says there are still 195 million white people in America and that they are still the majority, the white population actually declined slightly in 2023, and experts believe that they will become a minority sometime between 2040 and 2050.

Ravil Mingazov’s 22-year ordeal in detention from the U.S. notorious detention facility at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan to the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to solitary confinement in the United Arab Emirates ended this week with his repatriation to Russia, his son, Yusuf, told The Intercept.
A gaunt Mingazov was flown directly into Russia on Wednesday morning from the UAE and dropped at his elderly mother’s doorstep, to her shock and disbelief, according to Yusuf.

In a series of highly ideological 5-4 decisions – most notably, Citizens United v FEC – the supreme court swept away key limits on big money, launching the era of Super Pacs and opening the door for dark money in our campaigns. Lawmakers have done nothing to respond to these rulings, repeatedly failing to update the law to limit the damage from the court’s decisions or respond to new developments in campaign fundraising, like using email, the web and other technologies for appeals and advertising.

Future Madam President Kamala Harris’s rallies, compared to Donald Trump’s in the same arenas, have ended with the same results. The felon gave a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday evening, and you could clearly see a lot of empty seats, but Kamala’s rally was filled to capacity. Trump tried to explain that previously with a bonkers conspiracy theory, so I can’t wait to hear how he explains the comparisons with the rallies in Philly.

At least 12 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank on Monday and Tuesday, marking some of the deadliest violence in the occupied territory for months.
Three men and a 14-year-old child were killed by Israeli forces in the Tubas governorate on Monday. On Tuesday, five people were killed in Israeli air raids in Jenin, two were fatally shot in Kafr Qud in the northern West Bank, and a young man was killed in Bethlehem.

Australian politicians – lately, Peter Dutton – have enjoyed political junkets to Israel more than any other destination. Very few of them go to Gaza to see what’s really happening.

Imagine what we could achieve if we engaged in collective and consultative decision-making to meet the pressing needs and the greatest global challenges of our time as opposed to opting for what Toynbee coined the “Great Refusal” that would inevitably result in carnage and devastation on a scale never before seen.
“All of the disasters I’ve seen, combined — 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes, all of that combined — doesn’t equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza…. I’ve seen more incinerated children than I’ve ever seen in my entire life, combined. I’ve seen more shredded children in just the first week … missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. We’ve taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of 8-year-olds.
And then there’s sniper bullets. I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the ‘world’s best sniper.’ And they’re dead-centre shots.”
