Excellent article but I do think it is a good idea to avoid using a term like Jewish people. There is no Jewish people, only followers of Judaism, who are called Jews. The origin for anti-semitism was a hatred of Judaism and its followers, Jews, more than anything because they 'killed Jesus'as the story goes and as fundamentalists still believe.
Zionism has invented the concept of Jews as a literal people, despite their atheism, or perhaps because of their atheism, exploiting the religious teachings, not uncommon in ancient religions, that followers make a people.
I’ve always maintained Roslyn - prior to Zionism, Jews, Christians and Muslims alike all lived in Palestine and the Middle East together peacefully. But it's been the cancer of Zionism thay’s hasnt only destroyed the region but the world.
I can only agree generally but Israel could never have existed and become the evil that it is without Jewish money and support.
The question however is why would so many Jews support, fund, promote, Israel given its atrocities which are totally counter to Judaic philosophy? Are and were they all so ignorant? There is certainly no excuse for ignorance following October 7.
Hi George. This is the first time I've read your newsletter. You make a very good point about the potential motivations of former colleagues / professional sabotage.
There was a second, when I was reading the first paragraph, that I thought I saw you quote Rupert Murdoch, as having declared that support for Israel is "absolutely crucial to the FAILURE of the free world."
My mind auto-corrected "future" to "failure."
I literally had to do a double-take.
It's rare for such grim subject matter to result in a chuckle, so I thought I'd share it.
Thank you Lisa and welcome aboard and I'm glad your liking my work. And you're right it's rare to harvest a chuckle from a subject so grim and dire but I'm glad you did. George😊😊
It's increasingly clear that Israel is operating an expansionism obfuscated by the genocidal crimes against Jews in the past. Neoliberalism has blinkered much of the world to the fascist sucking of the water from the shore before the tsunami hit. "We said never again so it must be true." I'm not sure how deep it needs to get before everyone wakes up and realises that it's really bloody cold and dangerous right now.
Somehow Israel has convinced the US-West there was no History of Jewish Apartheid vis a vis Palestinians prior to October 7, 2023.
An Old Testament Jewish Religious Establishment became the Israeli government supporting Netanyahu in January 2023. In the 10 months prior to October 7, Israel provoked Hamas to launch 'Operation Al-Aqsa Flood' named after the Islamic Mosque on Temple Mount in East Jerusalem.
What is also overlooked is that to use the term anti-semitism in regard to valid, factual and recognised crimes committed by Zionist Israel is to say that Judaism and all Jews are guilty of all of the crimes committed by Zionists, Israelis and Jews over a century.
The fact that some Jews, often orthodox, but not enough, reject the Israeli State because its form and function are antithetical to Judaic teachings makes the claim that Israel is the Jewish State the worst kind of anti-semitism of all.
If Israel represents Judaism and Jews then that is saying that the religion and its followers as entities practice and promote occupation, colonisation, genocide, ethnic cleansing, rape - including of children; torture - including of children ; murder - particularly of children; theft, destruction, sadistic cruelty and bestial savagery as done by Israel for 76 years. For anyone to make such a claim there must be a deep and abiding hatred of Judaism and Jews.
In some ways this is not surprising because the Zionists were atheists and despised real Jews, particularly those European Jews who were so easily killed and captured by the Nazis. Zionists detest Judaism but they carry a double-edged sword because they need anti-semitism in order, so they thought and think, to drive gullible Jews to their State of Hate in Palestine.
Zionists were also quick to kill Jews, particularly in Palestine, who opposed their views and plans. They needed the religion and its followers for money, power and propaganda, but mostly they needed to convince Jews, already well prepared by centuries of religious paranoia, that only their own State could be safe. Israel was created, founded, formed and has functioned in fear and hate.
When the Zionists began campaigning for Jews to come and colonise Palestine and they used that word, they often did so with headlines threatening 6 million European Jews dead if their plans for Palestine were not supported. This woven into Judaic religious fantasies about a mythical Israel in Palestine, was rich soil for their propaganda.
The Zionists have always needed anti-semitism, real and imagined, to defend their claims that Jews are threatened and must have their own State if they are to survive. The irony being that what is called Israel is the most dangerous place a Jew could live.
Anti-semitism, real and imagined is the name of the game and it always has been.
They have always been genocidal as a majority. The only difference is they are now publicly genocidal in terms of the world. Go to Israel and you would have heard their bigotry and genocidal beliefs because it was never hidden. Now it is spewed and sprayed to the world because they think they can get away with anything.
Hi Roslyn, I don’t have your experience but what seems clear to me is that Israel has forfeited the right to be a ‘normal’, democratic and fully functioning, happy country.
Hopefully when all this is ancient history, the world will have learnt that this kind of thing is a very bad idea.
Yes, agree. But the Ziojewraelis are not sane and never have been. Fizzrael is a lesson to all of us as to what happens when you let the lunatics run their own asylum.
A better analogy might be, a mathematician who arrives at an incorrect solution because they're applying a fundamentally flawed equation from the start.
Going further I wonder to what extent the Zionists - both in Israel and the US - have developed ‘their’ own strand of Judaism which provides moral cover for their atrocities? It’s just that there seem to be some ‘rabid Rabbis’ around these days promoting some rather ‘fascist’ views and they can only foster antisemitism. (Perhaps, perversely, that’s the point).
I think the rabid Rabbis have always been around because all religions have fundamentalist fanatics. The difference is that Israel, the State of Hate, getting away with the atrocities it commits against non-Jews has given them permission to promote their hate and bigotry openly. And yes, fostering anti-semitism is the point and was always the Zionist goal.
Quite how Jews would be so stupid to think they can all go and hunker down in what is called Israel and be safe is the question.
Rupert Murdoch :"absolutely crucial to the future of the free world", the people falling for his propganda have to stop right there with his statement
This statement is so loaded, what comes to my mind is:
- There is an assumed assumption that his way of thinking is better/superior etc
- assimilation: be like us or we have the right to genocide/murder/regime change etc
- in a free world people do not lose their jobs, looked down upon for protesting stopping this US backed Israeli war machine, in a free world does he mean the allies are not free , but the others are, so they are jealous of ancient cultures, religions and community , togetherness?
-The free world are those that think freely, speak freely, not genocide people freely.
- In a free world we do not get hung up on words, we live, we understand each other and care for each other.
This fear of being labeled antisemite is one of the enablers Israel’s genocide,
Israel has managed to assign itself exceptional immunity from all criticism in the MSM.
Keep up the pressure George.
Thank you Baz will do my best.

What seems clear now is that the majority of Israelis have gone fully genocidal, whatever their political/religious (or Zionist) beliefs are.

Perfectly said.

That’s a wonderful video! I’ve always liked Katie Halper.
I wasn’t aware of her, but I certainly am now.
