Why Norman Finkelstein is Wrong about Israelis and Netanyahu

In the end my point is this... Norman is wrong. Tens of thousands just protested in front of the Knesset just last month in spite of it being illegal in Israel to do so. The powers in Israel made it illegal back in November to not only protest this war but also to simply write things that I wrote this morning... punishable by a year in prison. If the establishment zionists thought Israelis were ALL ON BOARD with this, would they have done that? Of course not. Stop saying stupid shit, Norman. Get rid of your handlers. Seems like they aren't really on our side.

Norman Finkelstein is Wrong about Israelis and Netanyahu

by Scott Creighton

His points:

Where he is somewhat correct (except for him not going anywhere as he most certainly is and these traits do not apply to all Israelis as many points of evidence show. But aside from that ;) ):

Benjamin Netanyahu is:

  1. not going anywhere because he is a reflection of Israeli society
  2. obnoxious
  3. narcissistic
  4. Jewish supremacist (Goyim have no place in God's design other than to serve Jews) 

Where he is wrong (his own 3 points of evidence):

  1. Bibi remains popular in Israel politically (not according to recent polls)
  2. Were it true his policies are unpopular another candidate would emerge. 'Have you heard of another candidate come out denouncing Bibi's policies? (Benny Gantz)
  3. Israeli society overwhelmingly supports war in Gaza... only 3% (poll from January) say IDF using too much firepower in Gaza (hostage protests, massive protests outside of Knesset, massive protests against Bibi policies regarding Supreme Court, and it's been made illegal to protest war since Nov of 2023. Also, a 5 month old poll showing opinions on use of firepower has nothing to do with how Israelis feel about the war today )

My replies to his points:

House Passes H.R. 6090 Antisemitism Awareness Act

 Ergo... by the definitions set forth by the very institution this bill derives it's mandate from, neither the protesters nor writers nor bloggers nor activists of any kind are guilty of antisemitic speech or actions.

IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism May 2016 https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:

The 'overall context' in this case is young people and old people and MANY JEWISH PEOPLE want the IDF to stop bombing children and destroying infrastructure in Gaza.

That's the overall context which is clearly applicable to this case.

US House expands antisemitism definition amid mass Gaza protests

from Daily Sabah

The lower house of the U.S. Congress passed Wednesday a controversial bill to expand the legal definition of antisemitism as pro-Palestinian protests sweep college campuses across the country.

The cross-party Anti-Semitism Awareness Act requires the Department of Education to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism when tackling discrimination.

The IHRA states that "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination" by, for example, "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor" is a form of antisemitism.

Critics of the U.S. House bill – including the American Civil Liberties Union – describe it as government overreach that will chill free speech while supporters say it will help combat hate on college campuses...

... 

"I'm thankful for the bipartisan support of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and for the support from a wide range of Jewish organizations that are standing up, endorsing this legislation, and saying enough is enough," New York Republican Mike Lawler said in a statement.

But the ACLU said in a letter to lawmakers that the new bill would "likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with anti-Semitism."

New York Democrat Jerry Nadler echoed the concerns, telling colleagues on the House floor: "Speech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute unlawful discrimination. The bill sweeps too broadly."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says Being Opposed to Genocide is Caused by 'Radicalization'

by Scott Creighton

Can't make this shit up. The Netanyahuites are crawling out of the woodwork, usually in cities with large Jewish populations that are highly influenced by the financial sector. Yes, this mayor says young people have been 'radicalized' into thinking blowing up 14,000 Muslim children is a heinous act.

'Radicalized'

This is bizarro world we live in. Oppositeland.

Amazing Statement from Netanyahu Deflecting Blame and White-Washing Genocide in Gaza

 by Scott Creighton

A quick video of Bibi Netanyahu playing the holocaust card and, once again, suggesting Israel can't be committing genocide in Gaza (in spite of the fact that so many zionists in Israel have been caught on camera bragging that they are doing just that) because... well... because they're Jewish.

Full stop.

However, the dude looks like a 70s Bond villain all hunched over at his desk with really evil looking lighting. It would be funny if the subject matter wasn't so goddamned twisted and vile.

Netanyahu understands time is running out for him and he's doing everything he can to keep the war going so he and a bunch of others aren't kicked out of office and criminally prosecuted. And for some reason the collaborators (and yes I know the connotation of that term and use it correctly in this case) here in the U.S. continue to try to defend him and Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Maybe it's because they want the AIPAC money for their campaign finance slush funds, which must be flowing like a tidal wave after all of this.

Maybe it's because they are just straight up racists because as we know... racism BAD... except for when you are racist toward straight white males... and anyone who even remotely looks Arab.

Here's the video. I will be discussing it in this morning's video.



Sanders says there’s not ‘any doubt’ Netanyahu is perpetrating ‘ethnic cleansing’

from The Hill

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again on Sunday, saying that Israel’s actions in Gaza are “ethnic cleansing.”

Sanders reiterated his familiar call on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to hold Netanyahu responsible for Israel’s actions in Gaza, pointing to the staggering death toll and the displacement of Palestinians in the region. He was asked to respond to the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests that have broken out on college campuses across the country and to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) remarks last week when visiting Columbia University.

“What I think the essential point that Ilhan made is that we do not want to see antisemitism in this country. And I think the word ‘genocide’ is something that is being determined by the International Court of Justice,” he said.

“But just as what I will say: I don’t think there’s any doubt that what Netanyahu is doing now — displacing 80 percent of the population in Gaza — is ethnic cleansing. That’s what it is. Pushing out huge numbers of people,” he added...
