“There you go again, Jaime. The antisemitic word like a pistol.
Neither you nor Dershy, nor Bibi, noe Sharon, nor Ben-Gurion, nor Golda Meir have one drop of semitic blood in your pseudo Jewish bodies.”

What breathtaking ignorance and bigotry!
On the one hand I’m castigated and censored for speaking out as a perceived Jew, on the other this mental patient pronounces on my lineage without any knowledge whatsoever.

Precisely, Espresso. The same censorship has reduced the Guardian’s Comment is Free to a replica of Little Green Footballs. As Jaime and Brian neatly illustrate above, no argument is possible, or permissible. Total obeisance to Israel or you are peddling the Protocols or ‘anti-Semitic bilge and claptrap ‘.I think the mentality is part hatred and fearfulness from the Judeocide and part cultural arrogance. The local pro-Israelis, when not describing Palestinian children as ’suicide spawn’, often peddle ‘research’ that proves the innate mental superiority of Ashkenazi Jews. The Sephardim, let alone the Ethiopian Jews are not accorded this distinction. It must be hard to live with the knowledge that, as Rabbi Kook the Elder said,’There is a greater difference between the soul of a Jew and a non-Jew than there is between the soul of a non-Jew and an animal’.

John Pilger,
I”ve noticed more and more blogs in the U.S. being moderated seemingly exclusively by Pro Zionist ideologues. The Huffington Post which occasionally gets some anti-semitic drivel on some unmoderated threads (due to high posting volume) largely censures anyone who takes issue with, or articulates a differing opinion on any blog by a Zionist Commentator.

They get some serious neo-con/zionist Commentators on there like Alan Dershowitz, etc.. and they’ll start calling people like Jimmy Carter an anti-semite, and if you post a respectfully articulate disagreement, they’ll censor it (remove it). This is so common now that if there’s a lot of zionist commentators on a given day I can get like 80% of all my comments censored (never saying anything vulgar, hateful, rude, etc.. mind you).

When all is said and done you read all the comments they allowed and they are all in agreement or only in slight disagreement with the author. It paints this picture that all on the left who visit HuffPost are big Israel supporters. It is just intellectually dishonest.

Ethnic cleansing of Palestine?
Sorry, but the above bilge is just so much hysterical and antisemitic claptrap. Written and posted for total idiots to swallow.

I think John Pilger is right to detect an odor of panic! The odd thing about the UCU boycott is that it has got very little attention in Europe, mainly because nobody gives a damn what university lecturers do, and nobody believes that many of those affected will actually take part. The thing has been hyped up out of all proportion in the US and in so doing, the Israel Lobby has shot itself in the foot!

There are plenty of other examples of such panic. Here in Europe, the “street” doesn’t give a damn about Israel, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Afgahnistan or any of the rest of it and just wants to be left alone. In particular, they do not want to be involved in anything that might bring terrorism down on their heads. Yet, the Israelis and US neocons keep trying to drag Europe into the fight and the more they do so , the more they antagonise people. The can’t not see that, but they persist, as if in their own minds, they were desperate and had nothing left to lose.

Here’s the lowdown on who’s angling to ‘take over Europe’ from the scholar who coined the phrase ‘Clash of Civilizations’. As Primo Levi put it, “Everyone is somebody’s Jew,” and the “Palestinians are Israel’s Jews.”

Yes, ive met australian jews who claim that muslims are seeking to take over the country. At the time i heard that claim (1998 if i recal), i didnt realise it was a version of the Protocols of the Order of Zion….

In Australia the local Jewish community has a mission to demonise Moslems. Just in the the last few weeks, the notorious and fervid anti-Moslem hatemonger Wafa Sultan was imported on a secret visit, to address local Jewish leaders, and, more dangerously and sinisterly, talk with political leaders including the Prime Minister, anti-Moslem and pro-Israeli fanatic, John Howard. The Jewish community has a veritable cottage industry of importing both Jewish and Gentile Islamophobic agitators. They are given a bully pulpit in Murdoch’s principle organ of aggressive propagandising, ‘The Australian’, (aka ‘The Fundament’) and regularly appear on local radio, spreading a message of pure hatred. Naturally enough, the local media is replete with home-grown propagandists, many Jewish, preaching antipathy to Moslems and agitating for war against Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. And there is a coterie of Moslem Quislings trotted out to please their Masters by jumping through rhetorical hoops and preaching love of ‘The West’ and its famous dedication to ‘democracy’. Bias in the media is total- Palestinian voices are entirely absent, save recently when acolytes of the uber-Quisling Abbas have been given space to preach hatred of Hamas. Even Israeli voices for peace, B’tselem etc, are absent. On the other hand, every strain of Right-wing Israeli hate is present, even to the racist extremes where Palestinians and Arabs are represented as innately evil.When the role of local Jews in this unprecedented tsunami of hate-mongering is pointed out, if the opinion is not completely suppressed, the smear of anti-Semite is immediately mobilised. Even Jews who question Israel’s evil policies are no longer ’self-hating Jews’. They too,now, are ‘anti-Semitic’. Naturally no other group in society is accorded the right to preach hatred of other groups, and the idea that Moslems would import agitators to preach odious theories of the innate evil of Jews or Judaism is inconceivable, and any attempt to do so would provoke a ferocious reaction. We must, I feel, realise the centrality of Israel and the bellicose and aggressive elements of overseas Jewish communities in the instigation of ‘Civilizational hatred’ worldwide. If not combated this vile Crusade, which has led to millions of deaths already, threatens millions more, and even, in a bitter irony, threatens the existence of the belligerent racist state that has spawned it.
