@Zuasibel @MouthFactory @Lawrenc04048984 Mathis here belongs to a sliver of Jews in our tormented history who succumbed to the millennial war of attrition waged upon Jews and decided that resistance is futile and better join the persecuters and maligners than be their targets. /1
@Zuasibel @MouthFactory @Lawrenc04048984 It's not enough that they were "liberated" from their Jewish shackles but they have to prove, convert-style, that whatever the antisemites do or say, they will out-do and out-slander Jews and thus gain some love for their wretched person. Examples: /2
@Zuasibel @MouthFactory @Lawrenc04048984 Pablo Christiani, a converted rabbi from 12th century Spain, who took his children from his wife after he converted, tried to ban the Talmud, and, with the Pope's dispensation, compelled Jews to listen to his speeches and answer his questions in their synagogues. /3

An alarming impression: most American Jews seem to find their Jewishness first and foremost in the food.
Next in demonstrating how nonchalantly non-Jewish-normative one is.
Third, in a mandatory sneering towards Israel as a distinct mark of what is Jewish. /1
"Now we will suffer loss of memory :
We will forget the things we must eschew.
We will eat ham, despite our tribe's tabu,
Ham buttered .. . and on fast days . . . publicly . . .
Null, then, and void, the k*ke nativity.
Our family albums we will hide from view. /2
Ourselves, we'll do what all pretenders do,
And like the ethnics mightily strive to be.
Our recompense? . .. Emancipation-day!
We will find friend where once we found but foe.
Impugning epithets will glance astray.
To gentile parties we will proudly go; /3

HIstory lesson:

Hebrew press report on 14 November 1929, on 1929 Hebron and Zafed massacres of Jews by Palestinians:

nli.org.il/he/newspapers/…
The reporter is Albert Londres, who wrote for "Le Petit Parisien". He was an investigative journalist who covered momentous events in East Europe, India, the Soviet Union, Japan, French Guinea, North Africa, and more.
In 1929, as European antisemitism was gaining uproarious momentum, he travelled to Mandatory Palestine where he met the Jewish communities. He declared his support for the creation of a Jewish state, but was concerned for possibility to coexist with the hostile Arab majority.

@kgmongan As always you are trying to distract from the crimes committed by British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan by directing our gaze to the perennial suspect Jews: Israel.

"Allegations of the abusive treatment of Iraqi civilians detained by the British Army /1
@kgmongan have also swelled in recent years. During the British presence in Iraq from 2003 until 2009, thousands of people were arrested, detained and interrogated. And from these, there are now more than a thousand cases alleging mistreatment, /2
@kgmongan .... Witness testimony speaks of beatings, sexual assault and religious humiliation, sensory and food deprivation, cruel interrogation techniques. Many victims say they were detained in these conditions for years without any explanation"

Pro-Palestinian advocacy is not antisemitism.

Antisemitism as pro-Palestinian advocacy is not pro-Palestinian advocacy but demonization, Der Sturmer level.

Your pity for a people can't erase another people's basic rights. You are not allowed ! /1
You are not allowed to tell Jews -anywhere- they deserve being murdered because you don't like them to have the right of self-defense, with this in their living history: /2

This 👇 is not pro-Palestinian advocacy. This 👇 textbook antisemitism.

@kgmongan @FatFreds_Cat @EnLiEretzAheret @NSRoundtable In the 1948 Arab-Israel war, Israel lost 6,373 of its people, about 1% of its population at the time. 4,000 were soldiers and the rest were civilians. 2,000 were Holocaust survivors. /1
@kgmongan @FatFreds_Cat @EnLiEretzAheret @NSRoundtable Though Israeli children were killed in the conflict the first acts of Palestinian violence specifically targeting large numbers of Israeli children were committed in the 1970s. The Avivim school bus massacre May 22, 1970, 12 Israeli civilians were killed, nine of them children /2
@kgmongan @FatFreds_Cat @EnLiEretzAheret @NSRoundtable The attack was one of the first carried out by the PFLP-GC.

The Ma'alot highschool massacre May 1974 ended in the deaths of over 25 hostages including 22 children, and 68 more were injured. /3
