Twenty reasons anti-Zionists are antisemites: A thread.
1. If you are pro-Palestinian, you are actively supporting the one group that has the highest perfcentage of antisemites in the world (Pew poll.)
2. If you are anti-Zionist, that means you say Jews - alone among all peoples = have no right to their own homeland in their historic home.
3. Israel-haters hate context: they compare Israel with a shining ideal but have nothing to say about anyone else. Singling out the Jewish state for vitriol is antisemitism.
4. Today's anti-Zionists have something in common with Hitler - they both hated Zionism.
5. The Israel-boycott movement says Israeli Arabs are Palestinians. They only boycott Israelis - meaning, only Jews. Textbook antisemitism.
6. There is a direct historical line between the Arabs boycotting Jews in the 1920s-40s and people boycotting Israeli Jews today.
7. Anti-Israel Arab media is unrepentantly antisemitic in Arabic. If you don't call it out, you condone it.
8. College campuses with the biggest anti-Israel populations are also the most antisemitic, according to studies.
9. Be real: the only reason anti-Zionists obsess over Israel when other countries are far worse is because it is filled with Jews.
10. Obsessive Israel-hatred is more a cult than a sober opinion. The only obsession comparable to it in history is classic Jew-hatred.
11. The Khazar theory is only popular among Israel haters because it says today's Jews have no historic right to the land of Israel. It's pure antisemitism.
12. Saying that Zionists control America and/or the media is literally identical to what the Protocols of the Elders of Zion says.
13. If you create or use definitions of "apartheid" or "genocide" or "ethnic cleansing" in a way that only applies to Jews, you hate Jews.
14. The accusation of "Jewish supremacy" is directly out of the Nazi playbook.
15. Israel is a pretty remarkable country in thousands of ways. If you can't admit any of them, you aren't just a "critic of Israel." You hate Jews.
16. If you say that Jews do not have the right to pray on the Temple Mount, their holiest spot, you have a problem with Jews.
17. If you complain about "Judaization" of Jerusalem or any other important Biblical city, you have a problem with Jews.
18. If you claim to support Palestinians but don't have anything bad to say about how badly the Arab world treats Palestinians, you are just a Jew-hater.
19. If you twist Jewish ritual into anti-Israel ritual, you have a problem with Jews and Judaism.
20. Saying that you hate Nazi-style antisemitism but being okay with Soviet-style antisemitism means you support antisemitism.
21. The Palestinian nationalist movement was literally founded by someone who collaborated with Nazis because they both saw Jews as a common enemy.
22. Even the UN admits that calling for the destruction of Israel and the BDS movement are antisemitic.

Yes, the UN.

Here is an adorable girl in Gaza who is attending a school that teaches hate.

She doesn't hate Jews now. But in a few years she will be indoctrinated to want to give birth to martyrs. Image
This tweet seems to have hit a nerve among the haters.

Good.

They know it is true and therefore are responding with "whataboutery" - or justification for hate..
Her school had an assembly on Saturday claiming that the 1969 fire at Al Aqsa (by a deranged Australian Christian) was the first step by Jews to destroy the mosque. Pure incitement to hate Jews. facebook.com/permalink.php?… Image

A quick lesson on psychology, anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

It has been known for quite a long time that people tend to make decisions based on emotion and only afterwards back up their decisions with what superficially passes for logic.
1/
Studies have consistently shown that people will trust facts that confirm their biases and reject those that prove them wrong.
2/
Antisemitism has been around forever, but since the Holocaust it has been socially unacceptable to be publicly antisemitic. But the Holocaust didn't change people's natures; it just made it shameful to be on the same side as Hitler.

The NYT article quoted here doesn't mention settlements. @kenroth is so obsessed with Israel that he has to throw in digs when irrelevant,

Removing settlements is not international law. No one - including @HRW - says Turkey must remove settlements from N. Cyprus.

Roth lies.
@KenRoth @hrw Speaking of, international legal scholars recognize that settlers have human rights, too - IN N. CYPRUS. For some reason @KenRoth doesn't believe that Jews have human rights. Quote from the Encyclopedia of Human Rights Vol 1. elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-on…
@KenRoth @hrw Int'l law is against "transfer" of citizens to occupied territory. Transfer in every other context in Geneva means forcible transfer, based on a Nazi practice. Jews who move to Judea/Samaria do it voluntarily.

Forcible transfer of Jews OUT of their homes in J&S may be illegal!

"Ethnic Food Festival, what kind of food do you offer?"
>"Chinese."
"Great! Fill in this short form.
"And what kind of food do you offer?"
>"Israeli."
(furrows brow) "Can I see your menu? I want to make sure you aren't appropriating Arab food."
1/
>"Um, what?"
"No falafel, hummus, pita, things like that."
>"But I make Israeli food!"
"No such thing. And we can't have you without also having a Palestinian food vendor."
>"Why, exactly?"
"Also, if you are Israeli and Jewish, were you in the army? That would be a problem."
2/
>"This is insulting. I'm now an American citizen."
"Even so. How many Palestinians have you killed?"
>"Now wait a min..."
"Of course, you have to be far away from the wonderful Syrian food area."
>"Why were they allowed..."

The vaccine debacle shows again a fundamental difference between the Israeli and Palestinian mentality - and why peace with Palestinians is impossible.

1/
Israelis want to find solutions to problems. Ideally, the solutions are win-win – both sides get what they want and everyone is ahead of where they were previously.
2/
Israel had vaccines that were coming close to expiration. Palestinians were way behind in vaccinating their population, and their vaccines – which they ordered many months ago – were delayed.

There are more reporters in Israel/Pal territories than anywhere else.

And ALL of them look for dirt (real or imagined) from Israel, while nearly NONE of them spend any time trying to find anything negative about the corrupt, criminal Palestinian Authority.

EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.
I have a story tomorrow morning about an egregious abuse of power by the PA over the past month that has not been reported anywhere. Where are the reporters?

Consciously or not, the media colludes to make Israel look bad and to give passes to the PA. Consistently. Constantly.
This has real world consequences. It is essentially a conspiracy to ensure that the world sees Israel as evil incarnate and the Palestinians as victims of Zionist aggression, with no faults and no agency.

This utter failure of the media to report fairly causes antisemitism.
