Antisemites made up a lie about a genocide being committed by Jews against Palestinians. This lie is a few decades old, but since the current war it has been spread by many people, some of them antisemites, some of them are just naive useful idiots.
This lie is now being used by antisemites to reject everything and everyone that has to do with Israel – from calling Biden „Genocide Joe“ to calling Martin Österdahl from the EBU „Genocidahl“ for not excluding Israel from the ESC.
This lie is being used by antisemites to wash their hands off antisemitism. „Greta Thunberg is not antisemitic – she’s against genocide.“
Well, my friends, there is no genocide, and this lie being used as an excuse to hate Jews is in no way different than any other conspiracy story that was used to spread hatred against Jews – from well poisoning to the stab-in-the-back myth. The genocide story is simply the blood-libel of modern times.
The Palestine Congress in Berlin has just been stormed by the police, electricity has been shut off.
17:29 The Palestine Congress has been made illegal without justification by the police.
This comes after Ghassan Abu Sitteh, a Palestinian doctor who spent 43 days with Doctors Without Borders at the Al-Shifa Hospital, who also is the Rector of the University of Glasgow, was denied entry into Germany at the Berlin airport today because he wanted to speak about his experience at the congress.
German media calls this congress antisemitic and pro-Hamas, the evidence for these claims is insubstantial. „Some supposed invited speakers have liked images by groups who are said to...” and so on.
This congress is prevented as the German fascist party sits at a 20% approval rating and ~1000 far right (and often armed) extremists are currently on the run from the police.
El servidor Alemán https://social.tchncs.de Alberga sionistas en su servidor (ej: @\fnrk@\social.tchncs.de)
Propongo una desfederación masiva a dicho servidor. No es aceptable ninguna justificación del genocidio que se está cometiendo al pueblo Palestino, menos todavía denominar antisemitismo a algo que realmente es antisionismo #fediblock
The dear and true mentsch Igor Levitt posted an old Jewish joke on the other network, which I would like to share here as well:
After the assassination of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, a government official in Ukraine menacingly addressed the local Rabbi.
"I suppose you know in full detail who was behind it."
"Ach," the Rabbi replied, "I have no idea, but the government's conclusion will be the same as always: They will blame the Jews and the chimneysweeps."
"Why the chimneysweeps?" asked the befuddled official.
"Why the Jews?" responded the Rabbi.
"The antisemitism that we're dealing with today does not say its name explicitly. The opposite is true: If you want to hold someone liable for being antisemitic, they will deny it. What does the new antisemite say? He says, he is not who he is made out to be. He is not an antisemite, but an Anti-Zionist!"
How would you define Zionism?
How would you define anti-Zionism?
Who do you consider a Zionist?
Who do you consider an anti-Zionist?
Please also include how (or if) you identify yourself in this regard.
