If you oppose Zionism, does that make you anti-semitic?
The anti-Zionist world-view of the ultra-Orthodox groups Neturei Karta and Satmar Hasidism perceives Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel as an anti-messianic act, conceived and born from sin. These groups vigorously deny the very legitimacy of the collective political return to the Holy Land and to Jewish sovereignty. For them, this is the handiwork of humans, violating the Jewish people’s oath of political quietism.
You know, of course, that the CIA’s job is to detect sinister doings in other countries, especially as they might affect our own country. Looks like they missed something lately in the spook-filled space between Iran and Israel. Do you suppose they’re too busy running Facebook? And their domestic companion, the FBI, has been working overtime for years now, between their mighty labors concocting RussiaGate and the current program to root out election deniers and other seditious riffraff — while millions of sketchy mutts from here, there, and everywhere in the world scuttle over our border with Mexico and decant across our fruited plains — with assistance, you understand, from our own border officials — and, yet, no questions asked. Here’s a free phone and an auto-refilling debit card. Have a nice day in Skokie, Plattsburgh, or wherever! And don’t forget to send in your court appearance forms by the 2030 deadline!
So, it came as a big surprise when southern Israel was overrun by Hamas dudes in tricked-out pickup trucks and para-gliders on Saturday, who carried home hundreds of nubile young women to have sport with, after slaughtering hundreds more people of all ages, like rampaging bronze age Philistines. That fresh enormity is, shall we say, quite a ways from resolution at this time. I’ll tell you what will be an even bigger surprise, though: when some organized unit of those aforesaid mutts of unknown origin who snuck across our border sets off something like a dirty bomb in New York, Los Angeles, or Washington DC. Or takes over a nuclear power station. Or… well, I wouldn’t want to put any ideas in a bad actor’s head. But you get the picture, I’m sure.
So, we’re in something that smells like uncharted territory this autumn Monday, and events are galloping faster than anyone can process. The scene looks a little bit like World War Three. At least any child of twelve could game it out that way in three easy steps. Say, the chief mullah in Teheran issues some crude remark about how Israel had it coming, yadda yadda … and the IDF forthwith fires a cruise missile up his qabaa… and next thing you know, so many mushroom clouds rise over the Levant that it looks like a shitake farm.
All this while the USA struggles to restore its political mental health after years of domestic abuse at the hands of our own government. A big question here is what kind of correction will it require to straighten out that abusive government… or can anything at all avail before having to shred the whole goshdarn operation and start over? Quien sabe? (As they say in Plattsburgh nowadays.)

If you oppose Zionism, does that make you anti-semitic?
I don't think so. Zionism is a political movement. Judaism is a religion and ethnic group. Anti-Semitism is hating people just because they are Jewish, without regard to their own actions.
There are Hasidic Jews who oppose Zionism. Are they anti-Semitic?

But just to confirm, you support IDF killing children, and bombing civilians?

Respectfully, this is a retarded clown-show question to ask.

Flying in armed terror squads to a music festival attended by unarmed young women and men from Israel and around the world, who are there promoting peace, and then systematically murdering, raping, kidnapping, and mutilating them in front of an adoring public, who further desecrate those bodies, is not an act of resistance.
The level of depravity and hatred it requires for anyone to find solidarity in terrorists hunting and butchering young women and men at a music festival cannot be understated.
More than 250 festival attendees are feared dead, with many more missing.
I'm against killing kids, don't care who does it. My morality is personal and God given, it doesn't change with the party or country who does it. I'm against all war, because it only benefits banks, governments, and sociopaths?
In many telegram channels, there is a short interesting moment in the enemy video from the military base where the IDF girls were captured. A Hamas militant commands him “to the floor” in Russian. How does he know Russian? Why did you decide that the Israelis would definitely understand him? And what was that? No well-known private organization could be involved in these events?

I agree with all of this.
Everyone else automatically calls me a Jihadist for say Israel shares fault, and Gaza deserves prayer. Last time I encountered this much Middle Eastern racism was a few years after 9/11. Bothered me then, bothers me now.
It bothers me that Islamists from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America have been raping and pillaging Christians, Jews, Hindus, Yezidis, Baha'is and secular Muslims for my entire lifetime. Virtually every Christian and Jew has been ethnically cleansed from the Middle East due to Islamist terror.
I agree with all of this.
Prior to the Zionist invasion, Jews, while making up less that 5% of the population of the Holy Land, lived in peaceful harmony with Muslims and Christians.
Have you criticized Hamas for murdering nearly 1,000 people yet?
Hamas Took The Bait
Upon the above, what seems likely is that certain psychopaths at Mossad picked up word, and turned a blind eye, to certain other psychopaths at Hamas attacking innocent people inside Israel.
But why would Israel do that? Such a bloody but tactical retreat by Israel allows for Hamas to walk straight into a trap: to inadvertently create a domestic 9/11 moment for Netanyahu to exploit. Hamas just ensured hitherto failing Netanyahu’s political survival, and worse facilitated the Israeli re-invasion of Gaza. Recall that Netanyahu had become a deeply unpopular political pariah inside Israel.
“In the meantime, the anti-Netanyahu protests are on hold. Organisers cancelled Saturday evening’s protests, citing the security situation and voicing support for the army.”
This is how Hamas just walked straight into a trap.
Such power moves by Saudi Arabia threatened her rival for Islamic domination in the region, Iran. In this context, and by assuring devastating Israeli retaliation in Gaza, this latest attack by Hamas firmly upsets any Saudi aspirations for leading peace initiatives in the region. With Gaza being bombed to rubble, the Saudis have no choice but to pull out.
Israel is of course set to respond to yesterday’s attacks in fury, by totally destroying Hamas in Gaza and reoccupying it. Facilitating Israel’s reoccupation of Gaza ensures that Saudi plans for regional peace are immediately placed on ice. Iran lives another day.
So-called "Palestinians" have always been the asset of the KGB. All Pukin cum gurglers gleefully proclaimed that this new crisis takes West's attention and resourses from the Soviet aggression against Ukraine. Now that Zelensky states the obvious they suddenly turn around and abandon their own well-though positions from 2 days ago. The intellectual dishonesty is stunning (no, not really - it's getting pretty predictable and boring).

The current "moderate" leader of the Palestinian Authority (Arafat's successor) Abbas literally got a PhD from Moscow for Holocaust denial.

In this episode, I share my thoughts about the situation with Israel and Palestine, as well as what I believe America’s response should be. Here’s the TL;DR (or too long; didn’t listen):
Israel’s 10/7 is a lot like America’s 9/11: if you’re an American, remember how you (and everyone around you) felt that day, and how your feelings were manipulated by power-hungry psychopaths to advance their interests at your expense;
Remember also all the red flags and anomalies that subsequently cast doubt on the official narrative, leading (for many people) to a growing belief that certain high-level officials in our own government knew what was coming and allowed it to happen, effectively sacrificing thousands of their own people in order to get the forever wars and surveillance state that they wanted (but couldn’t have pulled off before 9/11);
I fully expect those same patterns to emerge with Israel’s 10/7 — it seems inconceivable that the Mossad had no prior knowledge of Hamas’s plans and that hundreds of Hamas fighters were able to cross one of the most militarized borders on the planet (in an over-the-top theatrical way) without triggering an immediate response from the IDF, and that they were able to rampage through Israel for as long as they did without facing any resistance from military or police;
America should not be a party to this conflict; even if we felt our intervention was justified, we need to use our resources and manpower to get our own house in order;
Images of Hamas brutalizing young Israeli women truly do shock the conscience, as do images of black terrorists brutalizing white farmers in South Africa and images of black street criminals brutalizing pretty much everyone in America’s big cities — saying we should not intervene on behalf of Israel in this conflict does not mean that we should support Hamas — there’s a reason why ANTIFA and BLM supporters are also Hamas supporters — Israel is fully capable, without our help, of doing to Hamas what America should do to ANTIFA/BLM rioters;
The Israelis and the Palestinians are like the Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s: the only way for a third-party (like America) to win in this conflict is not to get involved;
America’s “friendship” with Israel has been one-sided and ruinously expensive for America and her people;
If America’s public officials cared half as much about protecting the interests of the American people as they care about the interests of Israel and Ukraine, we’d have a completely different country, fewer international enemies, and a fraction of the debt;
Americans are justified in questioning the true allegiance of any public official who demonstrates more concern for foreign peoples than they do for Americans — if (for example) Victoria Nuland demonstrates a reckless disregard for the well-being of Americans while pursuing foreign policy objectives that align more closely with the interests of Israel, Americans should see her as a snake and a quisling and treat her accordingly;
This also goes for pro-Palestinian, pro-Islamist Bolsheviks, like Ilhan Omar and the rest of her Squad — if we had a healthy civilization, Omar and her ilk would have been deported long ago;
The people of a nation are distinct from their government — and especially from the “inner ring” that holds the real power within their government: this is true for America, and it’s also true for Israel — and even for the Gaza strip;
The “friend/enemy” dichotomy is overly simplistic; different groups of people and different nations have different interests, with varying degrees of alignment or conflict based on their interests and how they prioritize those interests;
In some rare cases — such as George Soros and the ADL — the conflicts of interests are so severe (they want our people dead or enslaved) that they rise to the level of being an enemy, with whom no compromise or accommodation can be made; such enemies are demons who must be destroyed;
But it is also important to remember that George Soros and the ADL are not the same as “the Jews” — “the Jews” include various sub-groups with competing interests: reform/atheist Jews are often, but not always, aligned with the banksters and the Bolsheviks, but Orthodox Jews are mostly right-wing in their political beliefs and cultural norms and are among the most vocal opponents of the Bolshevik cultural revolution that is currently being promoted by Soros and the ADL;
The pro-Israel camp also includes lots of Christians, especially Evangelicals and Pentecostals, who are probably more fervent Zionists than most Jews, and these Christians are also vocal opponents of the Bolshevik cultural revolution;
The pro-Palestinian side includes almost all the non-Jewish Bolsheviks, as well as a few Jewish Bolsheviks, whose Conformmunist identity is more important to them than their religious or ethnic identity;
Basically, the issues and parties involved are a complex web of historical grievances, religious traditions, geopolitical alliances, etc., and American interests are best served by staying out of this family feud between the Semitic peoples of Judea, and focusing instead on securing our own border, deporting invaders from our own country, bringing predatory criminal animals to heel, and completely overhauling the parasitic financial sector;
We should identify what our interests are and form ad hoc alliances based on those interests, which will frequently mean joining forces with essentially Zionist evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews on issues unrelated to Israel (even though these groups’ good-faith support of Israel is often exploited by bad-faith neo-con-artists), because …
The ongoing Bolshevik cultural revolution here in America (and the rest of the West) is absolutely the biggest threat to us and to everything that makes our lives worth living, and evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews are absolutely on the right side of that culture war.
