Zionazis have done more to advance antisemitism in ~ 2 months than an entire generation of neo-nazis could have achieved in a lifetime.
/pol/ is collectively sobbing in the shower with a cheap bottle of whiskey in hand, insecure of themselves after realizing their favorite punching bag is beating them at their own game.
It's a shame zionists are complete cowards because we could totally use the unholy wrath of the IDF to take down neo-nazis in the west.
When reading a report on antisemitic incidents compiled by my local Jewish community classical western antisemitism was not the greatest threat to Jews, about 90% of incidents originated in outrage over the occupation and atrocities in Palestine. Zionism seems to be the main driver of antisemitism in today, smearing the good name of Jews worldwide and painting them as genocidal fascists.
This is a prime example of how Zionism begets antisemitism. If you took this at face value, it's very easy to come up with a stance that opposes and targets Jews instead of the root cause of these chauvinist beliefs - Zionism. Just as extremist Islamic groups taint general public perception of Muslims, Zionism taints the public's views on Jewish people.
The issue is that Zionism is accepted in the mainstream meaning antisemitism has a foothold in the mainstream (as evidenced by the widespread acceptance of neonazis and right-wing fascist groups). Zionism as an ideology must be eradicated. Extremist views like this should not be tolerated. Israel and Zionism creates danger for Jews worldwide.
A fascist state that's reinforced its ideology so fully that they can't perceive themselves from the outside, now speaking as they would normally to the outside world.
Christianity is not just based on practice, location, or beliefs. Christians are the only People based on an assignment. And our divinely ordained task is to be exemplary to all of humanity. To be God’s ambassadors on earth, fighting for the good of everyone.
This is so incredibly similar to sermons I heard as a child. You're not that unique.
Christianity is not just based on practice, location, or beliefs. Christians are the only People based on an assignment.
That's not true though -- grace/belief/practice are sufficient to be Christian (I assume the same in Islam). They're sharing the good news w anyone. It's redemption democraticized.
Among catholics I do believe that they say you can not be saved by grace/faith/belief alone as its basically seen as a starting point of salvation and that from that point on you must work on building your righteousness in the eyes of God by doing your best to embody the the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude and the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.
Simply put catholics to my understanding have to actually try to be good people to fulfill their faith and gain salvation instead of being a shit person their entire lives all the way till they're on their death bed and simply saying "sorry God, my B" (even if it's a moment of genuine reflection) allowing them to save their soul
All the Abrahamic religions are the same.
that's just not true, although it is true a fundamental goal of abrahamic religion is the destruction of other faiths. No other religious movements have been near so capable of exterminating other beliefs. We did it so well we basically don't understand how paganism worked in europe correctly anymore.
I've seen at least two "media bias" sites mark The Times of Israel as "leans left". Media Bias Fact Check and Ground News.
This isn't the first piece I've read from there that's raised my eyebrows.
Reminder that Media Bias Fact Check pretends centrism and being unbiased are the same. Their rating is on a one dimensional line from “extreme left bias” to “extreme right bias”. The center is labeled “least biased”.
"Kill all Palestinians!" - Biased, right wing.
"Do not kill any Palestinians!" - Biased, left wing.
"Kill only half of the Palestinians." - Least biased.
nothing from Israel is anything resembling left, their politics range from Hitler to Himmler
Ground News.
breadtubers (including deprogram) stop advertising this neoliberal garbage challenge; impossible
“Not recognizing our race as übermenschen is antisemitic.”
Fascist detected
"listen, we are better than everyone else. The holy book said so. If you don't respect us as being better than you, then you must be exactly like the Nazis. Also stop diluting Jewish culture by marrying non-israeli jews and non-jewish people."
Totally normal and cool thing to say, and is definitely not bigoted in anyway.
yup totally not fascist
Oh isn't this just fundamentalism? Taking the idea of God's chosen people too far and ending up a supremacist.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that that Jews were vitcims of the most famous genocide, how can zionism even exist???
how can zionism even exist???
Anglo imperialism is a hell of a drug
Yeah it's pretty depressing
Afrikaners were held in concentration camps by the British where women and children were fed sugar laced with broken glass, and 28 000 of the 154 000 Afrikaners imprisoned in the camps died. Apartheid then happened less than 50 years after that...
Suffering doesn't make you a better person, it just makes you suffer.
I quoted Finkelstein on this recently and I am just gonna copy that over again here
This is something Finkelstein talks about in Holocaust Industry. How the zionists view everyone else as guilty gentiles who will inevitably try to exterminate them, including peoples who have no history with Jews. This supposition justifies military action and condescension. That they are literally "chosen" people and thus correct no matter what
This is from his original article
There is another factor at work. The claim of Holocaust uniqueness is a claim for Jewish uniqueness. Not the suffering of Jews but that Jews suffered is what made the Holocaust unique: the Holocaust is special because Jews are special. Thus Ismar Schorsch, chancellor of Jewish Theological Seminary, ridicules the Holocaust uniqueness claim as 'a distasteful secular version of chosenness'. For Anti Defamation League (ADL) head Abraham Foxman, the Holocaust 'was not simply one example of genocide but a near successful attempt on the life of God's chosen children and, thus, on God himself. And Elie Wiesel is no less vehement that Jews are unique than he is about the uniqueness of the Holocaust: 'Everything about us is different.
The Holocaust dogma of Gentile hatred also validates the complementary dogma of uniqueness. If the Holocaust marked the climax of a millennial Gentile hatred of the Jews, the persecution of non-Jews in the Holocaust was merely accidental and the persecution of non-Jews in history merely episodic. From every standpoint, Jewish suffering during the Holocaust was unique. Embedded in the Holocaust framework, much of the literature on Hitler's final solution is worthless as scholarship. The first major Holocaust hoax was The Painted Bird by Polish emigre Jerzy Kosinski. The book was 'written in English', Kosinski explained, so that 'I could write dispassionately, free from the emotional connotation one's native language always contains'. In fact, whatever parts he actually authored (an unresolved question) were written in Polish. The book purports to be the autobiographical account of a solitary child wandering through rural Poland during WWII. In fact, Kosinski lived with his parents throughout the war. The book's motif is the sadistic, sexual tortures perpetrated by the Polish peasantry. Pre-publication readers derided it as a 'pornography of violence' and 'the product of a mind obsessed with sadomasochistic violence'. The book depicts the Polish peasants he lived with as virulently anti-Semitic. 'Beat the Jews,' they jeer. 'Beat the bastards.' In fact, Polish peasants harboured the Kosinski family, fully aware of their Jewishness and the dire consequences they themselves faced if caught. Kosinski invented most of the pathological episodes he narrates.
In the New York Times Book Review, Wiesel acclaimed The Painted Bird as one of the best indictments of the Nazi era, 'written with deep sincerity and sensitivity'. Cynthia Ozick later said that she immediately recognized Kosinski's authenticity as 'a Jewish survivor and witness to the Holocaust'. Long after Kosinski was exposed as a consummate literary hoaxer, Wiesel continued to heap encomiums on his 'remarkable body of work'. Best-seller and award-winner, translated into numerous languages, required reading in high school and college classes, The Painted Bird became a basic Holocaust text. Finally exposed by an investigative news weekly, Kosinski was still stoutly defended by the New York Times, which alleged that he was the victim of a communist plot. To his credit, Kosinski did undergo a kind of deathbed conversion. In the few years between his exposure and his suicide, he deplored the Holocaust's exclusion of non-Jewish victims. 'Many North American Jews tend to perceive the Shoah as an exclusively Jewish disaster ... But at least half the world's Romanies (unfairly called Gypsies), some 2.5 million Polish Catholics, millions of Soviet citizens and various nationalities, were also victims of this genocide.' He also paid tribute to the bravery of the Poles who sheltered him during the Holocaust despite his so-called Semitic looks. Angrily asked at a Holocaust conference what did the Poles do to save the Jews, Kosinski snapped back, 'What did the Jews do to save the Poles?'...
From the book of the same name so some of this is verbatim from the essay, but expanded on, I decided to copy both
Two central dogmas underpin the Holocaust framework: (1) The Holocaust marks a categorically unique historical event; (2) The Holocaust marks the climax of an irrational, eternal Gentile hatred of Jews. Neither of these dogmas figured at all in pubhc discourse before the June 1967 war; and, although they became the centerpieces of Holocaust literature, neither figures at all in genuine scholarship on the Nazi holocaust.2 On the other hand, both dogmas draw on important strands in Judaism and Zionism.
There is another factor at work. The claim of Holocaust uniqueness is a claim of Jewish uniqueness. Not the suffering of Jews but that Jews suffered is what made The Holocaust unique. Or: The Holocaust is special because Jews are special. Thus Ismar Schorsch, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, ridicules the Holocaust uniqueness claim as "a distasteful secular version of chosenness."18 Vehement as he is about the uniqueness of The Holocaust, Elie Wiesel is no less vehement that Jews are unique. "Everything about us is different." Jews are "ontologically" exceptional. 1 9 Marking the climax of a millennial Gentile hatred of Jews, The Holocaust attested not only to the unique suffering of Jews but to Jewish uniqueness as well.
Appropriating a Zionist tenet, the Holocaust framework cast Hitler's Final Solution as the climax of a millennial Gentile hatred of Jews. The Jews perished because all Gentiles, be it as perpetrators or as passive collaborators, wanted them dead. "The free and 'civilized' world,» according to Wiesel, handed the Jews «over to the executioner. There were the killers — the murderers - and there were those who remained silent."21 The historical evidence for a murderous Gentile impulse is nil. Daniel Goldhagen's ponderous effort to prove one variant of this claim in Hitler's Willing Executioners barely rose to the comical.22 Its political utility, however, is considerable. One might note, incidentally, that the "eternal anti-Semitism» theory in fact gives comfort to the anti-Semite. As Arendt says in The Origins of Totalitarianism, «that this doctrine was adopted by professional anti-Semites is a matter of course; it gives the best possible alibi for all horrors. If it is true that mankind has insisted on murdering Jews for more than two thousand years, then Jew-killing is a normal, and even human, occupation and Jew-hatred is justified beyond the need of argument. The more surprising aspect of this explanation is that it has been adopted by a great many unbiased historians and by an even greater number of Jews. "23
The Holocaust dogma of eternal Gentile hatred has served both to justify the necessity of a Jewish state and to account for the hostility directed at Israel. The Jewish state is the only safeguard against the next (inevitable) outbreak of homicidal anti-Semitism; conversely, homicidal anti-Semitism is behind every attack or even defensive maneuver against the Jewish state. To account for criticism of Israel, fiction writer Cynthia Chick had a ready answer: "The world wants to wipe out the Jews ... the world has always wanted to wipe out the Jews. "24 If all the world wants the Jews dead, truly the wonder is that they are still alive — and, unlike much of humanity, not exactly starving.
This dogma has also conferred total license on Israel: Intent as the Gentiles always are on murdering Jews, Jews have every right to protect themselves, however they see fit. Whatever expedient Jews might resort to, even aggression and torture, constitutes legitimate self-defense. Deploring the "Holocaust lesson" of eternal Gentile hatred. Boas Evron observes that it "is really tantamount to a deliberate breeding of paranoia.... This mentality ... condones in advance any inhuman treatment of non-Jews, for the prevailing mythology is that 'all people collaborated with the Nazis in the destruction of Jewry,' hence everything is permissible to Jews in their relationship to other peoples. "25
In the Holocaust framework. Gentile anti-Semitism is not only ineradicable but also always irrational. Going far beyond classical Zionist, let alone standard scholarly, analyses, Goldhagen construes anti-Semitism as "divorced from actual Jews," "fundamentally not a response to any objective evaluation of Jewish action," and "independent of Jews' nature and actions." A Gentile mental pathology, its «host domain" is "the mind." (emphasis in original) Driven by "irrational arguments," the anti-Semite, according to Wiesel, "simply resents the fact that the Jew exists. "26 "Not only does anything Jews do or refrain from doing have nothing to do with anti-Semitism," sociologist John Murray Cuddihy critically observes, "but any attempt to explain anti-Semitism by referring to the Jewish contribution to anti-Semitism is itself an instance of anti-Semitism!" (emphasis in original)27 The point, of course, is not that anti-Semitism is justifiable, nor that Jews are to blame for crimes committed against them, but that anti-Semitism develops in a specific historical context with its attendant interplay of interests. "A gifted, well-organized, and largely successful minority can inspire conflicts that derive from objective inter- group tensions," Ismar Schorsch points out, although these conflicts are «often packaged in anti-Semitic stereotypes. "28
The irrational essence of Gentile anti-Semitism is inferred inductively from the irrational essence of The Holocaust. To wit. Hitler's Final Solution uniquely lacked rationality — it was «evil for its own sake," «purposeless" mass killing; Hitler's Final Solution marked the culmination of Gentile anti-Semitism; therefore Gentile anti-Semitism is essentially irrational. Taken apart or together, these propositions do not withstand even superficial scrutiny. 29 Politically, however, the argument is highly serviceable.
By conferring total blamelessness on Jews, the Holocaust dogma immunizes Israel and American Jewry from legitimate censure. Arab hostility, African-American hostility: they are "fundamentally not a response to any objective evaluation of Jewish action" (Goldhagen).30 Consider Wiesel on Jewish persecution: «For two thousand years ... we were always threatened.... For what? For no reason." On Arab hostility to Israel: "Because of who we are and what our homeland Israel represents — the heart of our lives, the dream of our dreams -when our enemies try to destroy us, they will do so by trying to destroy Israel." On Black people's hostility to American Jews: "The people who take their inspiration from us do not thank us but attack us. We find ourselves in a very dangerous situation. We are again the scapegoat on all sides.... We helped the blacks; we always helped them.... I feel sorry for blacks. There is one thing they should learn from us and that is gratitude. No people in the world knows gratitude as we do; we are forever grateful. "31 Ever chastised, ever innocent: this is the burden of being a Jew. 32
The Holocaust dogma of eternal Gentile hatred also validates the complementary Holocaust dogma of uniqueness. If The Holocaust marked the climax of a millennial Gentile hatred of the Jews, the persecution of non-Jews in The Holocaust was merely accidental and the persecution of non-Jews in history merely episodic. From every standpoint, then, Jewish suffering during The Holocaust was unique.
Finally, Jewish suffering was unique because the Jews are unique. The Holocaust was unique because it was not rational. Ultimately, its impetus was a most irrational, if all-too-human, passion. The Gentile world hated Jews because of envy, jealousy: resentment. Anti-Semitism, according to Nathan and Ruth Ann Perlmutter, sprang from "gentile jealousy and resentment of the Jews' besting Christians in the marketplace . . . large numbers of less accomplished gentiles resent smaller numbers of more accomplished Jews. "33 Albeit negatively. The Holocaust thus confirmed the chosenness of Jews. Because Jews are better, or more successful, they suffered the ire of Gentiles, who then murdered them.
least insane religious person
Zionism feels like a mayo-supremacist mindgame to get all the world's people to blame Jews instead of Anglos
Still not convinced it isn't that
Zionists and Anglos are both fascists and imperialists, so you are still blaming the same group
Shit like this is why I consider myself an antitheist. This is brain rot.
That moment when you use the exact same argument Hitler used for why the Aryan race should rule Europe.
Why must you embarrass me, zionists?
What
What the fuck
You know how people say wasn't an instruction manual when the government and corporations does actual Orwellian crap?
Neither was Mein Kampf. Please fanatical Zionists, go on for the history books and future comedians to mock the fuck out of your insane depravity.
If I were a right wing Israeli I would try to avoid using the antisemitic "Protocols" as a technical manual but that's just me.
Also I know my own religion has a spotty record here but If you're god's ambassador on earth to fight for the good of all I would try to avoid bombing premature babies.
Sorry, you're not allowed to be Jewish, only us, but also I'm gonna need you to admit that we're God's favorites.
Also, why is "God" censored?
Remember The commandment, don't take the Lord's name in vain?
Protestants typically ignore this completely, some define it as saying don't use God's name to curse, but some Jews take it to mean don't use God's name practically at all.
It is part of Jewish theology to hold holy G-d's name and part of that is not writing it down on something that could be erased/deleted, so they alter it in some way like substituting the "o" for a "-". It's arguable if "God" counts as it is not one of the names prescribed in the original Hebrew, but some more religious Jews will do it anyways.
Some Jewish people believe God's name shouldn't be written down unless necessary, although most people apply it to spelling it in Hebrew, not English.
