Perhaps the devil encourages this rampant Jew hatred and Hashem observes to test our faith, for in this world the Story of Job is the Story of the Jew. We are blameless despite the blatherings of the devil, and Hashem might allow the suffering for a while but not our destruction.

It's a great article... wish I'd found it sooner.

However, I believe you're basing it on the fallacy that the uber left American supporters actually have a rational reason for hating Jews. It has been shown time and again that the average "protestor" at one of these terrorist love ins has zero knowledge of the history of the area and the roots of the conflict.

Most of these terrorist sympathizers are upper and upper middle class whites... they have no actual life experience, no work experience, no experience in raising a family, establishing a home and contributing to society.... they have bought in to the dream of a socialist utopia and they are completely subservient to emotional ideas which ,if they would listen to an opposing ideas, would not stand up to rational scrutiny.

At the head of this movement, at least in the USA, are all the militant "queer" and "trans" activists.... people who would be put to death immediately by their terrorist heros.

Now that mullahs all over have denounced the "queers for Palestine", will they withdraw their support? I doubt it... that would mean they were wrong!

Hopefully, this hateful movement will be swept into the dustbin of history along with the militant "queers" and "trans" communities!

Its amazing that they hate the only country in the middle east that would actually allow them to live in peace!

I try very hard not to hate these "useful idiots". I tell myself they are just stupid, uneducated kids..... but its difficult when (whether they actually know it or not) they are calling for the eradication of my people!

Yaacov Lyons: l’m afraid you have the wrong teams (tribes.) It is “People who want to feel better about themselves, feel morally superior and on the “right” side of history, vs everyone/everything else that isn’t.” It seems to me that one of the most universal things about people, unfortunately, is that they are more concerned about putting other people down to make themselves look and feel better about themselves without actually doing the harder work of just becoming better people. Those are the two teams you’re actually seeing. 😔

Btw that’s not to say that I don’t see and understand that there is lots of genuine antisemitism there, it’s just that as you pointed out there is a “strange mix” of confederates until you refocus on how many people just want to feel good about themselves, but in a quick and cheap sort of way, and they don’t really care if it is at someone else’s expense, they just cover that too with false equivalencies. 😬

“"we're resisting Zionist Imperialist colonialism"

- and yes, sadly Marxist ideology/propaganda has a good deal to do with it. 😡

I love this line "We are indeed in a new world - the kicker is that it's the same one we have always inhabited." And I entirely agree with the sentiment.
