The slur of “antisemitism” has been used to enable genocide, by attempting to intimidate and silence.
In the future when someone uses that slur the first question for them should be, “did you support genocide?”

Germane to this thread is the Swiss Army knife of a word, “antisemitism”.
It is adaptable and useful, it can be used opportunistically in so many diverse situations.
Most often it is used to intimidate and silence and used as a political instrument.
It’s two main definitions and uses are:
1) Hatred, real or not, directed towards Jews
2) A suggestive command with threatening overtones: “be silent or you will be black listed and more”

The slur of “antisemitism” has been used to enable genocide

Posted by: librul | Feb 9 2024 13:05 utc | 4
I’ve always lived in Germany where the phobia of “anti-semitism” is ubiquious, “because of our history”, as they say. They make you virtue-signal on every occasion to prove you’re not an anti-semite – a repetitive exercise, in which I didn’t participate because it got on my nerves. But I kept a list of all “good Jews” which I happened to know just to prove to myself that i was not infected.
Change came only after I collected the facts on 9/11 recently, from various sources, and could not help deciding that Israel had masterminded it, and had been the driving force behind it. To orchestrate a terrorist operation of that size and wipe out all the evidence pointing back to Israel, and install a myth of Muslim terrorists instead, that is still believed by everybody in today’s mainstream – to be able to do this, you must be firmly connected and in control, with leverage both in the US administration and its press.
The wellknown “anti-semitic slur” that states that Jews are really the ones who rule us, is heavily sanctioned; we are expected to avoid every thought in that direction. But it is true! For an example of who calls the shots, just look at Biden who appears paralized, bowing to Netanyahu’s every wish, and helping him actively in committing genocide on the Gazan population, allthough it hurts both his reputation and that of the US.

Puppets
German puppets burned the Jews
Jewish puppets did not choose
Puppet vultures eat the dead
Puppet corpses they are fed
Puppet winds and puppet waves
Puppet sailors in their graves
Puppet flower, puppet stem
Puppet time dismantles them
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German
Puppet Jew
Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet lovers in their bliss
Turn away from all of this
Puppet reader shakes his head
Takes his puppet wife to bed
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German, puppet Jew
Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet night comes down to play
The after act to puppet day

The most important, and very urgent, matter at this moment is the intention of the the Israeli PM to – push the Palestinians concentrated in Rafah out of Gaza, in order to “exterminate” Hamas.
That PM said a day or two ago to their sponsors (US) that the Israelies are on the verge of winning.
It was clear to those carefully following developments that he meant – we will now force the Palestinians out of Rafah, pushed there by Israeli bombardment and every imaginable crime.
There are more than one million people in Rafah.
No one should doubt that Rafah will be attacked. There is no one to stop it.

Haaretz reports that “Moody’s Downgrades Israel’s Credit Rating for First Time in Country’s History, Outlook Lowered to ‘Negative'”:

Moody’s decision to not only lower Israel’s credit rating, but to downgrade its credit outlook, has caught officials in Jerusalem by surprise.

It caught them by surprise because maybe they thought Moody’s could never be “anti-Semitic” as well…
Honestly, the longer they drag this out the more Netanyahu’s “total victory” looks like total collapse.
John Helmer has also a very interesting post on the huge financial impact on Israel:

An international currency and bond trader answers by providing, first, a primer for each of the market indicators, and how to read them; and then a ready reckoner for the damage being done to Israel’s economic resources as those who operate in the money markets gauge their opportunity.
For making money, you see, the opportunity of capitalizing on Israel’s defeat may soon be more profitable than investing in its success. When the markets see this chance at profit-making, usually long before the politicians and their captive media acknowledge it, there is an inflection point in the flow of money. That does its damage, not by hitting the Israelis and Americans in their bunkers with bullets and bombs, but by moving the money the US-backed Israeli entity needs out of reach, and cutting them off, both the US and Israel, from market confidence that they can win their war, genocide or not.

Israel is gradually following the same path Ukraine does.

Going Underground
@GUnderground_TV
South Africa’s🇿🇦 Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor says her family is being threatened by Israeli agents because of South Africa’s support for Palestinians in Gaza at the ICJ:
“I felt that [it would] be better if we had extra security. But what I’m more concerned about is my family, because in some of the social media messages my children are mentioned and so on, but this is par for the course. The Israeli agents, the intelligence services, [this] is how they behave, and they seek to intimidate you, so we must not be intimidated.”
“We can’t stand back now. We must be with them. And I think one of the things we must not allow is a failure of courage. It’s extremely important that we continue with this. We talked to the South African people; they understand why it is we have taken up this moral course.”
“We mustn’t pause. We shouldn’t become afraid. With the support of the people of Cape Town and broadly of South Africa, I believe we will have the strength to carry through this very important task.”

Undercover Israeli killings in West Bank hospital may be war crimes: UN experts
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/undercover-israeli-killings-west-bank-hospital-may-be-war-crimes-un-experts-2024-02-09/
West Bank Hospital

“Under international humanitarian law, killing a defenceless injured patient who is being treated in a hospital amounts to a war crime,” the U.N. experts said in a statement, referring to Basel Al-Ghazzawi, a patient being treated for injuries it said were caused by an Israeli air strike.
“By disguising themselves as seemingly harmless, protected medical personnel and civilians, the Israeli forces also prima facie committed the war crime of perfidy, which is prohibited in all circumstances,” they added, calling for Israel to conduct an investigation.

What tools do they use the most, what remaining propagandistic rhetorical logic traps are still keeping the population in a trance.
Dissect and deconstruct the jew itself, individually, as a collective and all of their tendencies.
Do not address or argue with them directly, skip right past them and appeal to your fellow gentiles after you yourself have sufficiently honed your survival instinct that you never knew you had – antisemitism.

As an Indian, maybe you should concentrate more on India’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. I was listening to a report on the BBC World Service to the effect that Israel has opened a number of large recruitment centres in India, with the reported case in Lucknow, in order to replace the Palestinians who are now refused work permits. The entire process of recruitment was described, with Israelis on site to tests the recruits on their technical competence, and whether they spoke any English.
India, known to be close friends with Israel, in spite of mild objections over what is being done to the Gazans, is in fact acting in high-level cooperation. Israel is getting more and more like Germany in the second world war, needing to fill its factories with foreign impressed slave labour.

“Joe Biden has suffered “the worst day of his presidency”, an ally said, after a bombshell report found the US President had “significant limitations in his memory”.
Lawyers who interviewed Mr Biden as part of an investigation into his handling of classified documents said he could not remember the years when he was vice president or when his son died of brain cancer.
An ally of the President said it had been “the worst day of his presidency”, telling NBC News: “I think he needs to show us this is a demonstrably false characterisation of him and that he has what it takes to win and govern.”
Another Democratic operative said the report was “beyond devastating” and “confirms every doubt and concern” that voters have about Mr Biden.
“If the only reason they didn’t charge him is because he’s too old to be charged, then how can he be President of the United States?” they added.”

This goes back to a little debate I had a few months back on whether foreign workers in ‘Israel’ could be considered legitimate targets for Hamas.
My argument was that they’re all complicit in a known settler colonial occupation and therefore should be treated effectively as mercenaries.
This recent round of recruitment simply clarifies and underscores that argument.
These workers, should they make it to occupied Palestine, deserve whatever comes their way.

Dying for iZrael.
The forces at Al-Tanf, for which the now infamous Tower 22
gives support, are on the highway to Damascus to cut a
supply route for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Pentagon claims “security failure” at Tower 22 is to blame
for the recent casualties.
(Lobbyists for the military industrial complex immediately chorused
that they had upgrades available for a small fee for enhanced radar systems.)
How convenient that a pretext for a major escalation in US attacks upon Iraq
was created only hours after the US and Iraq had had their first
official negotiation session over the withdrawl of US forces from Iraq.
If the Pentagon was willing to attack itself on September 11th, 2001
it should surprise no one that they were willing to betray National Guard troops
on the Syria/Jordan border.
Has anyone seen any evidence for the Pentagon’s version of events
at “Tower 22”? It took the Pentagon years to release essentially useless
pictures monitoring a parking lot gate on September 11th.
The entire Pentagon — the entire Pentagon?! — and the only available
monitoring was from a parking lot gate. How is that for giving the
free people of the United States the go-to-hell finger.
So why does anyone believe what the Pentagon is selling about Tower 22?
No surprise that the “security failure at Tower 22” serves the interests
of genocidal iZrael, the salesmen for the Military Industrial Complex,
and the warmongers of Washington.

the basic philosophic foundation has long been lost.

Just war was invented by St Augustine in his Against the Pelagians (and is everywhere in the Old Testament). I wonder how a publication such as The Postil can claim Augustine’s legacy, frankly.

I don’t know about that; Origen (183-255 AD) preceded Augustine by over 200 years. I think he was the first Christian scholar that considered ‘just war’ by Christians. Although Augustine certainly codified Origen’s idea and embellished upon it”
“Origen considered the Old Testament as an allegory of the New, consequently Christians should study the historical
books of the Old Testament with the understanding that these wars should be understood as
spiritual wars against the devil. They functioned as exempla for moral edification rather than as
guides for making decisions” (1)
