I Just Don't Get Antisemitism

Or why the 'tolerance' gang is as consumed by the same fascist hatred as the right's, passively manipulated by the Islamofascists driving Gaza's problems

I’ve never understood the tribalism that inclines humans to hate others based on ridiculous reasons.

I understand the evolutionary drive to protect yourself and your kinfolk from potential enemies, but even as a four-year-old, it was clear to me how utterly stupid discrimination is.

I don’t understand why we’re still committed to it, when we live much more peacefully with others than in earlier eras. Yes, even with all of our modern mass shootings and other in(s)anities.

I especially find antisemitism incomprehensible. I don’t understand why history, and Europe, had such a hate-on for such a small group of people that they fought a war over them. Or why Germany was ground zero, providing fertile ground for Adolf Hitler, who weaponized a mindless hatred already so deeply embedded in the German psyche that they could be induced to attack, ruin, and methodically murder their neighbors.

Kenneth Branagh in Conspiracy (2001), about the Swansea Conference that led to the Final Solution. Supposedly, the dialogue and storyline were taken straight from the only recorded transcript of the meeting.

Such embrace of evil exists not only on the far right, where some proudly identify as ‘Nazis’ and publicly endorse Hitler’s policies, but also with its eruption on the left like an ugly zit, every bit as virulent and toxic as those ‘Nazis’ they declaim, merely a stone’s throw on the other side of the fascist barbed wire fence.

Never in my sixty-two years have I seen such naked hatred for others, by those claiming the ‘right side of history’, ‘compassion’, ‘empathy’, ‘inclusivity’, and ‘embracing diversity’.

The failures of wokeism and what is actually the regressive, rather than ‘progressive’ left, is exemplified by their worst moral failure: Embracing Nazism via Islamofascism.

The very nadir of ‘progressive’ spiritual corruption has been its embrace of Hamas, the filthy brotherhood of animals behind October 7. Israeli bodies were still lying in the desert in pools of congealed blood in the golden rays of the rising sun when the Western left woke up, learned what had happened, and immediately jumped to the following conclusion: This was Israel’s fault!

No patience for investigation. No glaringly obvious questions asked by the ‘social justice’ brigade about how this was anything other than an animalistic attack on a bunch of kids having fun at a music concert.

No acknowledgement of what anyone with eyes, ears, and a functioning brain can see—that not Israel, but Hamas’s Islamofascism, cradled by the support of the deeply morally flawed antisemitic Islamic world—are the primary sources of endless pain and suffering in Gaza.

Wokeism yawns at barbarity

Hamas’s live-streamed vicious attack globally united keffiyeh-waving antisemites, kumbyeyah’ing to the vicious rapes, the tortures, the murders, Israeli living rooms and bedroom walls splattered with blood. So-called ‘progressives’ cheered the filthy fascist pigs who engineered the slaughter, they who stand for everything the left claims to hate.

How nauseated and disgusted so many of them profess to be about the barbarity of the ICE raids in the U.S.

Kinda catchy, innit? Is this slogan wrong? Discuss. Debate. Explain.

Yet they identified Israel as the genocidists rather than the terrorist mob whose own charter acknowledges that they must rid the world of Jews.

If there was any one thing that drove the final nail into the coffin of woke politics, and possibly helped elect Donald Trump, it was the left’s response to Oct 7. Its uncritical embrace of the world’s oldest hatred, claiming ‘antifascism’ while whoring itself to Islamofascism, exposed how cruelty and hatred are as baked into their dead souls as the MAGAs’. Feminists embraced the rapists’ ‘truths’ about what happened, not the victims’; the U.N. didn’t get around to issuing a response for two months; the ‘Queers for Palestine’ gang emerged, waving their retarded banners while ignoring Gazans throwing people like them off roofs. They embraced an Arab world that encourages genocide not just against Jews but also homosexuals and transgenders. (Except for Iran’s policy of sex-transitioning gay people to make them ‘normal’ and acceptable in the eyes of God.)

The rest of humanity still in possession of human decency ‘woke up’ in a way the left hadn’t intended, and abandoned the Democratic Party that had itself abandoned compassion, truth, and a four-year-old’s understanding of gross injustice.

Too many Democrats got stoned on the venom, while their senseless sycophants celebrated the cruelty, the mindless hatred of a whole other people they knew nothing about. They who lost their minds over ‘misgendering’ or an old joke from fifteen years ago applauded and smiled at stories of families tied together and set on fire.

Axios detailed how ‘The Squad’ had already begun to lose genuinely liberal support with antisemitic statements made previously by professional haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who encouraged the U.S. to cut off aid to Israel in response to Oct 7, joined by Cori Bush.

It became clear, that same day, that the ‘Free Palestine’ movement was all about Jew hatred, not any fucks given about the Gazans. Unsurprisingly, the protests featured the typical brown faces, dark beards, and head coverings we associate with the primary source of enduring antisemitism in the world.

The Trouble With Islam

Islam, and its military commander founder, has a hate-on for Jews. Why? That part of the world has been mutually problematic for millennia. Many have lived in the Holy Land since the days of their ancestors; others immigrated or invaded, like Muhammad’s imperialist, colonizing army in the 7th century.

Here’s an inconvenient fact: Both Judaism and Islam trace their origins back to the same source, Abraham of the Bible. The world’s first Jewish guy.

Granted, pre-Judaic Biblical Israelites weren’t exactly humanitarians themselves, pioneering selfish interests disguised as religious commandments. King Josiah was a fanatic who executed pagan priests and even dug up the bones of the already-dead and burned them on altars.

Then there’s the Godly stuff about baby-bashing (Psalm 137), destroying all your enemies (Deuteronomy 20:17), and killing all the Midianites except for the hot virgins (1 Numbers 31:7–18). If you’ve ever read the Old Testament stem to stern, there are only two words to describe Yahweh: Fucked. Up.

War crimes and mindless violence between Israelites and their rivals and enemies stretch through history to modern times. La plus ça change.

But four thousand years past Abraham, Judaism is a much more peaceful and tolerant religion than had been their priests with Pagan Derangement Syndrome. Mostly because they’ve paid over and over again as the world’s buttmonkeys for everything wrong with it. There’s no logical reason today why Israelis and Gazans can’t share the land and live together, but too many Gazans Muslims just can’t seem to handle it.

It’s Hamas, not Israel, stupid

The Islamic world can’t solve the problems in the Holy Land when it’s riven with authoritarianism and terrorism. Islamofascism is the problem.

There’s not much to truly find fault with the religion of Judaism or its people anymore, and Zionism doesn’t count because antisemites created it with the Holocaust. The Gazans in 1948 were offered half the land; they fought a war to remove the Jews and take it all. The Gazans and their Muslim collaborators, not Israeli Jews, are the real stumbling blocks to peace.

Those who embrace rather than fight Hamas’s control of the region, and the endless warfare and starvation they bring unto the Gazans, are in no moral position to criticize Netanyahu and the IDF’s actions. Standing with Hamas is standing with evil, plain and simple. If you’re still unconvinced, ask a four-year-old.

As Coleman Hughes pointed out in a recent article, “It’s possible to agree with the goals of an army but condemn its methods. During the Civil War, the Union Army burned down 40 percent of Atlanta, including civilian homes. Some of that was unnecessary, even immoral. But the North was still the good guy. Not because it was the underdog, or because it suffered more war crimes than the South, but because its goal—to end slavery—was fundamentally just.”

War crimes are omnipresent in war and always bi-guilty. Jews have received the brunt of history’s hate despite the fact that they haven’t ruled anything for thousands of years. What matters is what’s happening now, and we need to call out the world’s most violent religion, whose holy book records that even trees and rocks approve of killing Jews, and is desperately in need of modernizing and yes, civilizing. But we can’t do it for them; only Muslims can reboot, revamp, rebrand, and fix the baser elements in their religion, and so far, not enough want to do it.

Which is why Gazans can’t have nice things.

Liberty vs authoritarianism

How easy it is to ignore the pain on the other side’s, when one is a mindless ideologue committed to its own cause. One side in the Holy Land would happily live in peace if only their enemies would leave them alone; the other side only if their enemies lay down and die. Idiot know-nothings happily flap their flags in support. Others quietly watch from the sidelines, not partaking, perhaps dismayed, but unwilling to stand against the Keffiyeh Klan’s genocidists, the Good Little Germans we saw during the last round of fascionable Nazism.

Why can’t they understand it makes more sense to discriminate against bad ideas, bad values, and ass-dragging cultures rather than people. A ‘bad’ person should be one who has earned that label through wrong action, thought, and speech. Who embraces policies for others they wouldn’t want to live under themselves.

Islam is a vast collection of both good and bad ideas, but they haven’t ‘done the work’ to purge the latter, the way Judaism and Christianity have done.

Political satirist Andrew Doyle, speaking with the Canadian journalist Tara Henley recently on Lean Out, identified the real battle: “…the eternal struggle between those who believe in liberty and those who believe in authoritarianism.” Today’s polarized gormlessness isn’t between left and right, because liberty lovers and authoritarians are clearly on both sides. Doyle claims, and I agree, that authoritarianism is the ‘default position' for human beings.

We liberty lovers are happy to watch the MAGAs destroy the excesses of wokeism, but the ugly truth is the illiberal left and illiberal right feed off each other. They’re replacing one autocracy with another. It will now be the left’s freedoms curtailed, their language policed, their renegades and mavericks shut down, and jailed, especially if they speak truth to power.

The white supremacists will replace the anti-white ones. The latter represent the other side of bigotry, demonizing white people while the darker-skinned remain beyond reproach, as infallible as the Pope.

What we haven’t yet considered is whether the two sides of illiberalism will eventually realize how much common ground they share, with the one thing they can agree on completely: Their hatred for the world’s favorite scapegoat.

Antisemitism is the most prevalent bigotry in the world today, driven by a religion prone to fanaticism, and poorly-educated young people who’ve been fed woke critical theory and social justice mischigoss.

Antisemitism marks its supporters as morally corrupted people in desperate need of a spiritual enema. Woke progressives ran afoul of human decency when they turned their truths into sacred dogma. They never questioned themselves, asked those obvious questions, or wondered where they might be wrong.

You can support the Gazans without calling for genocide of the Israelis. But if you align with groups like Hamas, you’re not an ‘antifascist’. You are quite explicitly fascist yourself, and you sure as hell aren’t ‘pro-Palestinian’.
