#Ashleigh the antisemite

[zionistgirlie]

I just know some Ashleighs are getting so hyped now, being able to cry genocide and 'israel broke the ceasefire!!!!!!!!!!!!11' so allow me to piss on your parade and educate u:

Israel did not break the ceasefire, for the simple reason that there was no ceasefire. There was a ceasefire/hostage deal, and this slash is significant because these things are related. The last hostages to be released were released on the night of February 26-27. Three weeks ago. Since then, Hamas has received a "free ceasefire" without any compensation on its part.

According to the deal, Israel did not commit to end the war. Israel committed to a six-week ceasefire. The deal came into effect on January 19. Six weeks from then would be March 2nd— 16 days ago. Israel also had the right to resume the war if negotiations were proved fruitless.

Discussions on Phase II of the deal were held, and when it appeared that the parties were unable to reach an agreement, Hamas was offered several proposals to extend the ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages, some of which were independent American proposals that were bad for Israel. Hamas refused.

Moreover, Hamas regained power in Gaza, posing a direct threat to Israel. And only just yesterday Israeli media published Hamas planned a 7th-of-October style attack on the Gaza Envelop.

The deal was breached several times by Hamas, the first time being on the very day it began. All of Israel's supposed "breaching of the deal" were in response to Hamas'.

Hamas tried, a number of times, to launch rockets at Israel DURING the ceasefire. The launches did not manage to cross to Israel's teritory, but resulted in the death of a 14-year-old Gazan. The world wasn't too upset about the breaking of the ceasefire, however, and it was hardly covered by non-Jew media. I wonder why... Those days must've been otherwise busy!

Additionally, Israel did not attack willy-nilly. Israel targeted Hamas officials and Hamas facilities. The inflated casualty figures Hamas provides have lost all credibility when even their bestie, the United Nations, cut in half the number of women and children killed (according to Hamas), claiming they were unverified. The fact that Hamas has doubled the number of children and women killed tells us everything about who Hamas is and how important the truth is to them in their propaganda war against Israel and the Jews.

Hamas, which is recognised in America and Europe as a terrorist organisation, has the full ability to stop the war. All it needs to do is disarm and return the Israeli hostages. Israel has no war goals other than this. Not to occupy territory, not to commit genocide, nothing. Pesach is in a month and we want our brothers and sisters at home. We will end with a prayer for the safety of our hostages, IDF soldiers and security forces personnel, from every sector and community.

It is still Adar, so may our sorrows turn into joy!

Boris Johnson has invoked some of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic stereotypes in a book he wrote when he was a Conservative shadow minister. He describes “Jewish oligarchs” who run the media, and fiddle the figures to fix elections in their favour.

He portrays a Jewish character, Sammy Katz, with a “proud nose and curly hair”, and paints him as a malevolent, stingy, snake-like Jewish businessman who exploits immigrant workers for profit. There is nothing subtle about this. We know what antisemitism looks like.

Johnson has form when it comes to anti-Jewish hatred. As editor of the Spectator he chose to publish articles in which the notorious racist Taki Theodoracopulos boasted of being “an antisemite”, argued black people “have lower IQs than whites” and praised Enoch Powell as a “great man”. Johnson defended Theodoracopulos, calling him a “distinguished columnist”. Even now Johnson continues to cosy up to Donald Trump, despite his rhetoric about Jewish disloyalty and support for neo-Nazis.

Johnson’s contempt for minorities, women, LGBT+ and working-class people is well known, so it’s not surprising this extends to Jews. We share the pain that many feel about antisemitism on the left and we will continue to hold the Labour party to account. But we wholly reject Boris Johnson’s cynical attempts to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns to distract from his own disgraceful bigotry.

A vote for the Conservatives is a vote for a far-right government that poses an existential threat to all minorities. As Jews, we understand that our fate is bound up with that of other minorities. We will only find safety through solidarity. We call on allies of the Jewish community to reject hate and vote the Tories out.

• In case any of your readers have been influenced by the antisemitism accusations against Jeremy Corbyn into not voting Labour, we, Jewish members of his constituency, have known him for 30 years. We know him well enough to know that there is no foundation to the accusation that Corbyn is antisemitic.

In a party with 500,000 members there will be antisemites and they must be dealt with. But we can assure Jewish voters that they are safe voting Labour.

Remember that it's POC and allies who are buying these books, people already willing to have difficult discussions about race, gender, and history. But by forcing this material out of schools, it means that kids who most desperately need to understand these subjects are going to learn their parent's (racist) version of events without any opposition.

This is going to widen a cultural divide between facts and a racist's sanitized history.

We can buy and print a million copies of Maus, it doesn't do a DAMN bit of good if Ashleigh's five kids are being taught that Hitler was a not-so-nice guy but most Germans were innocent and the good Americans came and stopped all badness against Jewish people forever and always. Or that slavery existed, but only for a little while and that stopped a looong time ago and things have only gotten better for black people since.

School exists to teach children the skills and information they NEED to know. Kids NEED to know the truth about history, racism, sexism, antisemitism, and so forth. Right now, it's a small group of outspoken individuals who are literally rewriting these subjects and they aren't going to be stopped by a bestseller's list. They'll only be stopped if an equally outspoken group stands up to say that we're not going to tolerate the next generation being taught that (white) feelings matter more than facts.

(JTA) — Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania who has drawn scrutiny for his association with antisemites, acted in a 2019 film about the rescue of Jews that has drawn criticism from Holocaust scholars — and from its Jewish star — for Holocaust distortions.

The New Yorker and The Washington Post this week both reported on “Operation Resist,” which purports to depict the rescue of Dutch Jews by American spies. Mastriano plays an American spy and also helped finance the movie.

The film, which is fiction, operates from a thesis that abortion and gun control pave a path to Nazi-like control. It begins with an effort by liberals in the present day to remove Holocaust education from a school board curriculum, then flashes back to the rescue of a Dutch Jewish girl, Miriam.

At the end, the film returns to the present, in which a Holocaust survivor who attends a meeting of the school board explains that Miriam is his sister, and uses her experience to decry abortion, gun control and government overreach.

“How about the millions of babies today whose lives are snuffed out before they’re even born because they are inconvenient. It’s time to say never again!” the fictional Holocaust survivor says. Some conservatives have invoked the Holocaust to decry policies that permit abortion and restrict gun sales, a practice that Holocaust scholars have decried as a manipulation.

Mastriano said at the time the movie was made that he and his family were “blessed” to be involved by fundraising for the movie. “This exciting movie grapples with sacrifice and heroism during the horrors of the holocaust,” he wrote on Facebook.

Multiple family members also appeared in it, Mastriano as an American spy and his son a Nazi whom his character chokes into losing consciousness. “When you wake up Fritz, tell Hitler he’s next,” Mastriano’s character says.

Matsriano has drawn scrutiny for his association with Andrew Torba, the antisemitic founder of Gab, a social media platform favored by many far-right extremists. He has also been criticized for calling his opponent, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, an elitist for sending his children to a Jewish say school.

The Washington Post screened the film for four Holocaust experts, who all hated it. “It is offensive to weaponize the Holocaust for political ends, yet that is what this film does and quite proudly,” Neil Leifert, the director of the Center for Holocaust and Jewish Studies at Penn State, told the newspaper.

The film also gets Jewish ritual wrong as well as details of the Holocaust; it imagines an impossible meeting of the fictional Miriam, Anne Frank and Audrey Hepburn. It depicts Nazis slaughtering Jews through mass shootings, when most Dutch Jews were deported to death camps.

Ashleigh Burnette, who plays Miriam, is Jewish and was unsettled by the overt Christianity on the set, where days would start with Christian prayer, and in the movie, in which rescuers would declaim about their Christian belief while carrying out the rescue.

“Maybe the movie was really about shedding light on Christianity? That a great Christian lady was helping me, so bless the Christians?” she told The Washington Post.

James Moran, the film’s director, blamed inaccuracies on his tight budget — he made the film in his native South Carolina — and said that he hoped Burnette and her mother, who accompanied the actress, would have corrected any errors he made in depicting Jewish ritual.

But Moran said his film’s analogies to abortion access and gun control were appropriate. He was inspired, he said, by an article in a South Carolina newspaper that reported the removal of Holocaust education from a social studies standards guide.

“My main point in the movie was that the Holocaust has lessons for us regarding today’s environment politically,” Moran told The Washington Post. “Once you start down the trail of whose life matters, you have entered the mind-set of Nazism … and it’s what I saw happening today as people are seen as inconvenient lives and as the government seeks to remove the guns of innocent civilians.”

The article in The State, in 2017, made clear that the omission was an oversight that the state schools chief said would be immediately rectified. There was no indication the removal was driven by liberals, some of whom were appalled at the omission. The only challenges to Holocaust content in schools in recent years have come from the right wing, and most of them have been retracted amid public outcry. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have advanced legislation to require Holocaust education in dozens of states.

The idea that Israel has been committing "some form of genocide" for 80 years or more, besides being preposterous, is also so funny because you're telling me, Ashleigh, that the Jews, the people who have won (almost) every fourth Nobel Prize (22% of Nobel Prize winners from 1901 to 2023 are Jewish, which is nearly a quarter) will take 80 years to commit genocide and they will still fail so severely that the Arab population, in the entire area, will grow consistently every year?????? Do you really believe that, Loretta????

Like I said it before but allow me to quote myself and say that antisemitism lowers IQ.

(Also a new tag: #ashleigh the antisemite, you know exactly what it stands for) (also I forgot who it was to come up with "Ashleigh" but it was someone on jumblr and if you can tell me who it is so I can properly credit them for opening my chakras, thanku)

Edit: for the antisemites with low IQ. This post's point is that the Jewish people are smarty, and so if they wanted to do genocidey, they'd take less than eighty yearsy to do so and the numbersy wouldn't go uppy.
