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...

Gaza: Israeli PM Netanyahu says Rafah attack will happen regardless of deal

from BBC

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will launch an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah regardless of truce talks with Hamas.

It comes amid ongoing attempts to try to reach an agreement for a ceasefire and hostage releases.

But at a meeting of hostages' relatives, Mr Netanyahu said he would invade "with or without" a deal.

His comments follow renewed warnings by the US against a Rafah invasion unless civilians were properly protected.

In a phone call with Mr Netanyahu on Sunday, US President Joe Biden "reiterated his clear position" on Rafah, a White House statement said. Mr Biden has previously described an invasion of Rafah as a "red line".

On Tuesday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said an assault on Rafah would be an "unbearable escalation", appealing for "all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to prevent it".

More than half of Gaza's 2.5m population is in Rafah, having fled there to escape fighting in other parts of the territory. Conditions in the overcrowded city are dire, and displaced people there have spoken of a lack of food, water and medication...

Police Bust Up Peaceful Gaza Demonstration at My Alma Mater

by Scott Creighton

Video is from about a half a mile from where I lived on Floyd Ave. for several years. Kids were holding a demonstration to bring attention to the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza so of course they called in 'Richmond's finest' to pepper spray em and bash some heads. The demonstration was taking place in a park and not stopping anyone from attending classes but that don't matter. Bibi Netanyahu said we got to crack down on idealistic kids who oppose violent land-grabs so... bash they do.

Here is a video followed by some really thoughtful memes left as comments on Twitter.

Proud to be an American today, huh? Dudes want to see American kids beat and arrested in support of zionist developers on the other side of the planet.

Go 'Merika?
