The hostage release is really backfiring on Israel since they are not allowing video footage of the Israel hostages, or allowing them to speak. On top of more and more people starting to ask why Israel was taking Palestinian children hostage in the first place.

Moshe-Mordechai van Zuiden

To dislike certain ethnicities is racist; to see Jews as equal is antisemitic

Understand the specialty of Antisemitism

We need to thank Whoopi Goldberg and the many who answered her so well with the renewed realization that Antisemitism is Racism.

Jews are not overprivileged. Just like Asians living in their Diaspora, Jews just work super hard to try and get a handle on the oppression. That’s not privilege—that’s sweat, blood, and tears.

However, there is a good reason not to just call Antisemitism only a form of Racism. It’s an animal with very specific rules since there is no culture or religion like the Jewish one. While all Peoples are unique, some are more special than others. Which doesn’t mean, as adorable as we are, that we’re more worthy than others. To be specific, when G^d calls us the Apple of His Eye, He doesn’t mean He’s going to treat us with favoritism. Instead, He means that He will hold us to a higher standard. But, to make things complicated for starters, when bigots hold Jews to a higher standard, that’s—you guessed it—bigotry. When we Jews live up to our potential we are equal to Gentiles who live up to their potential. (If the latter could live up to the Jewish standard, they are invited to join us Jews.)

‘Race’ is actually culture. We’re all homo sapience sapience: one race. Western racists (Nazis) got obsessed with genetics, build, and skin color. But non-Western racists often don’t care about lineage, only about religious practice, loyalty, and identity.

Considering one ethnicity, one culture better or worse than all others is Racism. No one is completely defined by their background or identity. And among all pastry, you have bad cookies. Don’t discriminate.

Yet, Jews are the only Nation not just based on practice, location, or beliefs. Jews are the only People based on an assignment. And their Divinely ordained task is to be exemplary to all of humanity. To be G^d’s ambassadors on earth, fighting for the good of everyone.

That means that when one says that Jews are just like everyone else, you’re a bigot. You don’t need to look down on Jews to be Antisemitic.

When our parents say they want to be our friends, that’s nice. But we better also respect them as teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant of us. When Jews say they want to be everyone’s friends and allies, that’s nice. But Gentiles better also give them respect as their teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant. NB: We are not Christians ‘Older brother.’ Too many older brothers in the Hebrew Bible were passed over by younger sibs. We are their parents.

And, the idea that Jews should be no different than Gentiles already implies opposing Jews. As if they should adjust to majority norms, integrate, and assimilate away.

Being against mixed marriages is racist. Two cultures in one couple enrich both partners. But many Jews marrying out helps Jews to die out. It also means going along with self-hatred as if anything non-Jewish would give a personal safe passage out of the Antisemitic danger zone. European and Arab Jews marrying each other is enough marrying out already. And that happens in Israel to an unprecedented degree. Outside of Israel, nowhere do we find such a percentage of Whites marrying non-Whites.

Saying the N-word is racist. It dirties your mouth. But, when discussing Antisemitism, it’s good to list all the stereotypes because part of the oppression of Jews is to deny it.

Bias against homelands can hurt minorities in the Diaspora. Prejudices against Africans (‘primitives,’ ‘hotheads’) devalue Black migrants around the world. Prejudices against Asians (‘mystical people’) dehumanize Asian migrants the world over. But propaganda against Israel hurts Jews in their Diaspora like no other minority. Zionism is to Jews what feminism is to women. Men who ‘like women but not feminists’ show they don’t like women; rather, they like being served. Jews and Gentiles who ‘like Jews but not Zionists’ show they like Jews as long as they feel scared all the time so that they can be manipulated to serve and comfort the Gentile powers to be; but not when they are independent and proud of themselves.

Judaism laid much of the foundation of all Monotheism (One G^d), Science (One Universe), and Democracy (Equality) in the world. That’s why hatred of Jews is the ultimate ungratefulness, throwing mud on Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Einstein, and Herzl. And therefore, the Holocaust doesn’t compare to any other genocide, Armenian included—though they are all horrific.

It seems that Intersectionality was designed to promote Antisemitic. It advocates comparing oppressions and seeing how they are all interwoven. Because Antisemitism is so unique, and because Jews are kept hostage by the top level of societies (and blamed for all ills), it often ends up uniting all oppressed groups against the Jews, the victims of the oldest hatred.

And so, you see there is reason not to just regard Antisemitism as one of the forms of Racism. Jews-oppression is too specific. It’s a special bigotry.

apologies if this is like onion-level satire or jonathan swift trolling and i'm just not picking it up


You should check your privilege if you think theres anything loony with that editorial. Its frankly offensive for you to not recognize your racial superiors.

Not "probably", they've openly stated that Shin Bet agents and the military will coach the hostages before an interview and limit what they can and can't say.

Netanyahu condemns the statements of the Prime Ministers of Spain and Belgium

Netanyahu said, "I strongly condemn the statements of the prime ministers of Belgium and Spain regarding not holding Hamas responsible for the crimes it commits."

Reuters: Israel summons the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium due to statements made by the prime ministers of their countries at a press conference on the Gaza Strip border.

In turn, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen condemned what he called the false allegations of the Prime Ministers of Spain and Belgium and their support for terrorism.
worth mentioning that the statements by the belgian prime minister were: "Israel is allowed to use military force to take out terrorists, however they should do their best to avoid civilian casualties." and "Israel should act within the bounds of international laws. The way Gaza is being destroyed is unacceptable"

the most tepid criticism (which ultimately doesn't even break with the US line of "go ahead, just try to drop smaller bombs") is met with immediate aggression

e: also worth mentioning that the belgian prime minister's reaction was: "they must've misheard what i said"

Just generally to see what their condition is I guess. The old lady was taken to a hospital too and conducted the interview from it. It's probably also an excuse to limit their movement for a while.

Israel is relying on people to not look into it, to just blindly accept Israel's response and think these other two countries are supporting terrorism.

You can tell how angry these releases have made the propagandists who are working overtime to flood the replies with threats and accusations. They want Israel's own hostage-taking to remain buried and absolutely no parallel or comparison to be drawn.
