"Do They Pay You..."

TrueHaiku:

Do they fucking pay you to come in here and defend genocide? I mean, the world sees what is happening. We have livestreams and videos now. The world generally sees Israel for what it is. No amount of Israeli cockslurping is gonna change our minds, so what's your goal?

It's important for Jewish people to see how the hatred evolves in real time.

See, we didn't have that opportunity in the 1930s because the media wasn't nearly as evolved as it is now.

It is antisemitic to say that Jews (not just Israel, apparently) are incapable of upholding human rights in wartime.

"Human rights"?

My guess is that Israel is doing a better job upholding human rights in wartime than probably any other country in human history.

If you look into it you will find that the civilian-to-combatant death ratio in Gaza is far lower than was the US civilian-to-combatant death ratio in Iraq War II.

One of the main problems that Israel (and the Jews, in general) has is not the never-ending attempt by the Palestinian-Jihadis to murder the Jews in Israel, but the anti-Israel / anti-Jewish propaganda campaign that seeks to spread hatred.

We see this throughout social media constantly.

Israel is portrayed as demonic.

And, really, that was the entire point of Oct 7.

Surely you have asked yourself what Hamas hoped to achieve on that day.

Well, what they wanted was plenty of dead Palestinian-Arabs so that their progressive friends in the Red-Green Alliance could scream from the hillsides how "Zionists" are evil.

And, I tell ya, it worked very well.

EyeGod (his response to my claim that Jews are from Judea).

Nope, not all of them.

But, hey, you go back far enough, we’re all from Africa, right?

So, how far do you wanna push your logic?

That's a fair point.

Antisemitic antizionists basically engage in two styles of attack on the Jewish people and Israel.

The first is in portraying Israel and its supporters as evil.

You know, in the Middle Ages they accused us of killing Jesus because that was the most evil thing that you could ascribe to someone at the time and it justified their killing of Jews.

Now they scream from the hillsides about "genocide" because, today, that is the most evil thing that you could ascribe to someone and it justifies the killing of Jews.

The second is in what I call "The Indigeneity Question."

In this case, the enemies of the Jewish people will say, "You stole the land from the indigenous Palestinians!"

Well, the fact is that the Jewish people, including those of us from European diaspora, have genetic roots that go to the Levant.

So do most Palestinian-Arabs, of course.

But questions of indigeneity are not primarily about genetics, but about culture.

The Palestinian-Arabs are still Arabs.

Their culture is primarily derived from the Arab side of their family.

Their language is Arabic and Islam was born on the Arabian Peninsula.

Likewise, the Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel.

The Hebrew language comes from there, as does our religion.
