THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.

[former-leftist-jew]

Yeah, much the same way the Confederacy and the KKK "started as a resistance" against African American black abolition and then de-segregation.

After all, the Southern white Christians sincerely believed that the white man was superior to the "Negro" in every way--racially, morally, spiritually, religiously, etc.

They believed that God WANTED European Christians to conquer the Americas, kill off or enslave all the "inferior races," and anyone who challenged that was challenging God Himself, the Order of the Universe, blah blah blah, so our brave Christian Soldiers will resist the bullying of those yankee thugs and blah blah blah.

Hamas is just the palette-swapped European Christian Supremacy movement, only theirs is for Arab Muslim supremacy. and they both want to kill Jews for the same reason.

Here, I'll spoon-feed you even more quotes:

Hamas Charter, Article 6:

"The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine--"

AKA "This is an Islamic country, so non-Muslims can't have it."

Hamas Charter, Article 6:

T[]he law governing the land of Palestine i[s] the Islamic Sharia Law and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of (Islamic) conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands to Moslem generations till the Day of Judgement.

AKA "Our ancestors conquered this land fair and square, and they called 'dibs!' for eternity, so only we Moslems can own this land for eternity."

Hamas Charter, Article 15:

The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.

AKA "For the crime of wanting autonomy and self-rule on Muslim-ruled land, all Muslims must fight and struggle to kill all non-Muslims."

Jews: "But it was our land before you got it--"

Islamists: "Shut up. Allah wanted us to have it and to kill you."

Hamas Charter, Article 7: Hamas Article the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree [never heard of it] would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

Hamas Charter, Article somethjing:

[I]ts a result of the fact that those Moslems who adhere to the ways of the Islamic Resistance Movement spread all over the world, rally support for it and its stands, strive towards enhancing its struggle, the Movement is a universal one. It is well-equipped for that because of the clarity of its ideology, the nobility of its aim and the loftiness of its objectives."

AKA "We want to spread Islamic supremacy all over the globe; violently reclaim all lands that once belonged to Muslims (including Eastern Europe, Rome, and Spain), force all non-Muslims to submit to Islamic rule, and kill all Jews everyhere we go."

You praise them doing this to Israeli Jews today, but you'll be crying, "I knew the leopards want to eat Israeli/Jewish faces, but I didn't know they'd eat MY FACE!" when they come for you tomorrow.

https://quran.com/al-baqarah/65/tafsirs

Here's a list of antisemetic verses in the quran and hadiths.

(If you don't know what a hadith is, you don't know enough about Islam to comment on it.)

(We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected") means, "Allah changed their bodies into those of monkeys and swines. The young people turned into monkeys while the old people turned into swine." Shayban An-Nahwi reported that Qatadah commented on,

My personal favorite is the time that Allah turned a whole Jewish tribe into apes and pigs--young Jews turned into monkeys, old Jews turned into swine, and all modern monkeys and pigs are descended from the cursed Jews.

Azzam Pasha, General-Secretary of the newly formed Arab League in 1948, weas considered THE most moderate and sympathetic of Arab Leaders to Jews as the latter petitioned for political independence.

And even he called for the extermination of Jews.

I personally wish that the Jews do not drive us to this war, as this will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Tartar [Mongol] massacre or the Crusader wars.

AKA "By wantging political independence from Islam, the Jews are forcing us to massacre and kill them all."

(For Context: The Mongol hoards brought the Central Asian and Middle Eastern Islamic empires to their knees, and the Crusaders massacred 90% of Jews living in the Holy Land during the first Crusade alone.)

Of course, Azzam Pasha was more sympathetic to Jews BY DEFAULT, considering the company he kept... like the Grand Mufti of Jersusalem being BFF's with Hitler and forming Arab SS batallions under him in WW2, all because, "We have a common enemy in the Jews."

So, yeah.

Kiss my pig-tasting Jewish ass.

There is NOTHING admirable or worthwhile about Hamas.

They are NOTHING BUT palette-swapped white supremacists and Nazis.

It’s so funny seeing pro-israelis try to defend Israel with the excuse of ‘Israel protecting themselves’. or that it’s ‘Not Israel’s fault because Hamas is hiding with civilians’ etc etc.

Like please. The USA has managed to kill !THREE! leaders of terrorist groups without killing tens of thousands of innocent people. Turkey has killed ISIS militants and hit targets without killing tens of thousands of people.

They also prove how they’re completely ignorant how violent Israel has been towards Palestine before. This has been going on for way longer than October 7th 2023. There is absolutely NO justification for what Israel is doing. If you support genocide simply say so.

So when you put up wanted posters with names of Jewish people with accusations about them being murders for being Jewish is it antisemitism yet?

When you put up tens of hundreds of copies all around a university, requiring dozens of people to print and hang up, is that antisemitism yet?

Fucking skin head neon nazi bullshit.

If any doubts remained about the motives of the Amsterdam thugs who last week terrorized and assaulted Israeli soccer fans in droves, an investigation in The Wall Street Journal should settle the questions.

It wasn’t merely a reaction to provocative behavior by some of those fans. It wasn’t just overflowing anger over the war in Gaza. It was something altogether darker.

“Maccabi supporters had traveled to the Dutch capital for a match with local team Ajax on Thursday night,” the newspaper reported, referring to the Tel Aviv club. “Little did they know that, earlier in the day, they had become a topic of discussion on popular messaging apps, where users were calling for a Jodenjacht, or ‘Jew Hunt.’”

Jew hunt: Grotesque as the phrase is, it can no longer surprise.

It is what the graffiti on a wall in an Oslo metro station promises: “Hitler started it. We finis[h]ed it.”

It is a wave of antisemitic hate crimes in Chicago, including “anti-Semitic flyers with rat-poison like pellets” found in Lincoln Park in April, a Jewish man shot while walking to his synagogue in West Rogers Park in October and two Jewish students at DePaul University assaulted by masked men last Wednesday.

It is a long succession of assaults — sometimes with sucker punches, other times with cars, more recently with an attempted child abduction — against Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn.

It is the alleged gang rape near Paris in June of a 12-year-old Jewish girl by teenage boys “uttering death threats and antisemitic remarks,” according to a report from Agence France-Presse.

It is the arson attack on Monday on an Amsterdam tram — a follow-up to last week’s mayhem — with rioters in black yelling “Kanker Joden” — “cancer Jews.”

It is what a Hamas terrorist was doing on Oct. 7, 2023: “Dad, I’m calling you from the phone of a Jew. I just killed her and her husband, with my own hands I killed 10.”

Notice what these attackers aren’t saying. They aren’t expressing themselves in the faddish language of anti-Zionism. They aren’t denouncing Israeli policy or speaking up for Palestinian rights. They aren’t trying to make careful distinctions between Jews and Israelis. They are, like generations of pogromists before them, simply out to get the Jews — a reminder, if one was needed, of the truth often attributed to Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Which makes it even more remarkable how strenuously some people initially tried to obscure the nature of the Amsterdam pogrom. The media are rarely shy about calling out certain kinds of hate crimes as racist. Yet for days the word “antisemitic��� was either put inside quotation marks or attributed to Dutch officials when talking about the violence. The identity of the attackers has been treated as a mystery, or a secret, beyond delicate references to people with “a migration background,” in the words of Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.

A great deal of attention has also been paid to some Israeli fans who pulled down a Palestinian flag, vandalized a taxi and, in Hebrew, chanted ugly anti-Arab phrases. There’s no excuse for any of that. But rowdy English soccer fans in Germany have been known to celebrate German war casualties. Somehow it doesn’t lead to a frenzy of organized violence.

Nor does it add any light to provide the “context” of the war in Gaza as a way of trying to understand what happened in Amsterdam. No decent person would explain anti-Asian attacks in the United States by observing that attackers might be angry about, say, China’s human-rights abuses or its biosafety standards.

Yet so many supposedly decent people are quick to try to account for the evil that is done to Jews through reference to the evil (as they see it) that Jews do to others. As Leon Wieseltier pointed out years ago, this type of reasoning is not an explanation for antisemitism. It’s the essence of antisemitism.

Antisemitism in Europe has now reached the point where the future of many of its Jewish communities is seriously in doubt. I’m not sure most Europeans understand what a civilizational catastrophe this represents — albeit less for Europe’s Jews, most of whom will find other places to go and thrive, than for Europe itself. The fate of societies that become “Judenfrei” — free of Jews — has not, historically, been a happy one.

The United States is still a long way from this point, thanks to a larger and more politically confident Jewish community, along with a national culture that traditionally has generally admired Jews. But that culture is also under growing threat today, whether from Hamas’s fellow travelers in the Ivy League and the publishing world; Louis Farrakhan’s admirers in the Black community; or the alt-right inveighing, with a sinister wink, against “globalists” and “neocons.”

Americans (and not just Jews) should beware: If we stay on this path, the Jew hunt of Amsterdam may be upon us, too, and sooner than we think.

Just saw an "antizionism" blog named after black september, the very organization that orchestrated the munich olympics shooting. With a very obviously antisemitic pfp of a magen david being stabbed. If there is one nazi at your rally you are at a nazi rally. How the fuck can these people still claim to not hate jews.

It bothers me so much how Jewish women are the second most liberal voting bloc in the country after Black women (we voted for Harris 88% and are one of the only groups to shift left) and yet our contribution is constantly discounted or not even mentioned at all and we’re still consistently demonized as being evil genocide supporters

The students apparently were shouting fuck the Jews and smashed up the water fountains and bathroom tiles. The counter terrorism unit was called. The students looked up her family and home phone number. She says they spit on her.

This was in November 2023. They rioted. They didn’t want her fired. They wanted to murder her. Because of a picture online.

The most prominent Islamic scholar in Gaza has issued a rare, powerful fatwa condemning Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered the devastating war in the Palestinian territory.

Professor Dr Salman al-Dayah, a former dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Law at the Hamas-affiliated Islamic University of Gaza, is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities, so his legal opinion carries significant weight among Gaza’s two million population, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim.

A fatwa is a non-binding Islamic legal ruling from a respected religious scholar usually based on the Quran or the Sunnah - the sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad.

Dr Dayah’s fatwa, which was published in a detailed six-page document, criticises Hamas for what he calls “violating Islamic principles governing jihad”.

Jihad means “struggle” in Arabic and in Islam it can be a personal struggle for spiritual improvement or a military struggle against unbelievers.

Dr Dayah adds: “If the pillars, causes, or conditions of jihad are not met, it must be avoided in order to avoid destroying people’s lives. This is something that is easy to guess for our country’s politicians, so the attack must have been avoided.”

For Hamas, the fatwa represents an embarrassing and potentially damaging critique, particularly as the group often justifies its attacks on Israel through religious arguments to garner support from Arab and Muslim communities.

The 7 October attack saw hundreds of Hamas gunmen from Gaza invade southern Israel. About 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage.

Israel responded by launching a military campaign to destroy Hamas, during which more than 43,400 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Dr Dayah argues that the significant civilian casualties in Gaza, together with the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and humanitarian disaster that have followed the 7 October attack, means that it was in direct contradiction to the teachings of Islam.

Hamas, he says, has failed in its obligations of “keeping fighters away from the homes of defenceless [Palestinian] civilians and their shelters, and providing security and safety as much as possible in the various aspects of life... security, economic, health, and education, and saving enough supplies for them.”

Dr Dayah points to Quranic verses and the Sunnah that set strict conditions for the conduct of jihad, including the necessity of avoiding actions that provoke an excessive and disproportionate response by an opponent.

His fatwa highlights that, according to Islamic law, a military raid should not trigger a response that exceeds the intended benefits of the action.

He also stresses that Muslim leaders are obligated to ensure the safety and well-being of non-combatants, including by providing food, medicine, and refuge to those not involved in the fighting.

��Human life is more precious to God than Mecca,” Dr Dayah states.

His opposition to the 7 October attack is especially significant given his deep influence in Gaza, where he is seen as a key religious figure and a vocal critic of Islamist movements, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

His moderate Salafist beliefs place him in direct opposition to Hamas’s approach to armed resistance and its ties to Shia-ruled Iran.

Salafists are fundamentalists who seek to adhere the example of the Prophet Muhammad and the first generations who followed him.

Dr Dayah has consistently argued for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate that adheres strictly to Islamic law, rather than the political party-based systems that Hamas and other groups advocate.

“Our role model is the Prophet Muhammad, who founded a nation and did not establish political parties that divide the nation. Therefore, parties in Islam are forbidden,” he said in a sermon he gave at a mosque several years ago.

He has also condemned extremism, opposing jihadist groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda, and has used all of his platforms to issue fatwas on various social and political issues, ranging from commercial transactions, social disputes over marriage and divorce, to the conduct of political violence.

The fatwa adds to the growing internal debate within Gaza and the broader Arab world over the moral and legal implications of Hamas’s actions, and it is likely to fuel further divisions within Palestinian society regarding the use of armed resistance in the ongoing conflict with Israel.

Sheikh Ashraf Ahmed, one of Dr Dayah’s students who was forced to leave his house in Gaza City last year and flee to the south of Gaza with his wife and nine children, told the BBC: “Our scholar [Dr Dayah] refused to leave his home in northern Gaza despite the fears of Israeli air strikes. He chose to fulfil his religious duty by issuing his legal opinion on the attack”.

Ahmed described the fatwa as the most powerful legal judgment of a historical moment. “It’s a deeply well researched document, reflecting Dayah’s commitment to Islamic jurisprudence,” he said.

Reminder that the Islamic Fatwa Council issued a fatwa against Hamas back in March 2023, declaring "the Muslim Brotherhood movement and all of its branches as terrorist organizations".

Reminder also that Hamas tortures citizens. They are the enemy of free people.

Hamas is responsible for every single death.

Ismail Haniyeh openly called for "the blood of women, children, and the elderly" from his five-star luxury suites in Iran, before a full year of "ceasefire deals" that went nowhere.

Even ignoring Hassan Nasrallah's war crimes against Israelis and the people of Lebanon to attack Israel, the guy butchered hundreds of thousands of Muslim Syrians for the Assad family.

These people are willfully uninformed at best, liars and hypocrites at worst.

“Israel isn’t serious about ceasefire negotiations because they killed negotiators on the other side, like Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh!”

OK, while I could buy that killing them would set back ceasefire negotiations, neither were killed *because* they were ceasefire negotiators, and you either knew that (and so are saying something deliberately deceitful) or you don’t know that (in which case you shouldn’t talk about this conflict with such authority given the fact that you don’t know even the basics about it).

To the Jewish folks of tumblr: I'm sorry. I know this has been a stressful, scary time, and it doesn't look like it'll be letting up yet. The Right's hate has been bold for a while, and the Left has completely thrown you under the bus. I can tell that y'all feel completely alone in the world.

I wish I could make sweeping promises of definite change for the better. I can't. But I can promise that I will remain a friend to the Jewish people. I know I'm just one goy. But one friend is better than none. I'll do what I can.
