It's the way you say 'Jew,' or how many historical facts about Jews you posit ...and why always all this negativity about Jews supporting Israel
... enough already, oy vey! Saying, 'Israel has "weaponized" mass starvation in Gaza. 85,000 more deaths in coming months' -- ANTISEMITIC!!!
The cartoon, which in the 1967 SNCC newsletter accompanies (above) a feature decrying Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, depicts Muhammad Ali and Gamal Abdel Nasser, at the time the president of Egypt, facing forward with a rope around their necks. The rope is suspended from a hand — either executioner or puppet master — on the back of which a Star of David with a dollar sign at its center has been imprinted or tattooed. Behind the two men, an arm in a T-shirt wields a curved sword; the words “THIRD WORLD LIBERATION MOVEMENT” appear alongside the arm and across the surface of the blade.
Everything about this piece of moldy agitprop, crudely executed in charcoal on yellowed newspaper, seems archaic. But its atavistic repurposing by three Harvard groups 57 years after its first appearance suggests that the militancy of the sixties continues to offer resources, symbolic and tactical, to campus activists now — for better or for worse.
“The so-called State of Israel,” Stokely Carmichael said in 1968, “was set up by white people who took it from the Arabs”; for Carmichael, as Michael R. Fischbach explains in his Black Power and Palestine: Transnational Countries of Color (Stanford, 2018), “the Arabs were black,” while “Israel was part of the white world.”
Apologies? At Jew-Vard? Jesus Fucking Hell. While Jews in Israel Bomb Rape Imprison Starve Burn Poison Gazans! As Harvard Warns of Disciplinary Action, Pro-Palestine Groups Apologize for Antisemitic Image.
Apologize??
So, will one TikTok post of this get the Jews banned? That IDF soldiers can post videos mocking dead Palestinian children is a testament to the Zionist ideology of supremacism.
“…in July 1939, Hitler called fifteen psychiatrists to the Reich Chancellery to discuss a program of systematic child killing. The Reich Ministry of the Interior issued a decree on August 18, 1939, that required physicians, nurses, and midwives to report infants and children under three years old whom they deemed to have mental and physical disabilities, including loosely defined diagnoses such as “idiocy” and “malformations of all kinds.” The children would enter one of the Reich’s thirty-seven “special children’s wards” for observation and, regularly, medical murder. To provide incentives for cooperation, doctors and nurses were paid for each child they reported and, at euthanasia centers, received what some called “dirty money”—salary bonuses and perks for children they killed. Initially limited to babies and toddlers, child killing would be a scientific and deliberative project, based on careful examinations and integrated into the Reich’s health care system. After medical personnel reported a child to be disabled, the child’s file would be reviewed by the Reich Committee for the Scientific Registration of Serious Hereditary and Congenital Illnesses in Berlin, a front organization of the Reich Chancellery. The committee’s three medical “experts” would then send authorization for killing the child[…]” Edith Sheffer (Asperger’s Children)
Back in 2012, the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove "Asperger's Syndrome" as an official diagnosis in their manual. Their decision was based on terminological precision rather than ethical considerations; they felt that it ought to be folded into autism spectrum disorders and argued that merging it with the broader spectrum would "help more accurately and consistently diagnose children with autism." Nevertheless, as Edith Sheffer's new book "Asperger's Children: The Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna" points out, they wound up being ahead of the curve when it came to disassociating the condition from the name of Hans Asperger himself.
As Sheffer meticulously documents and proves in her book, Asperger collaborated with Nazi Germany in unforgivable ways. He gave public credence to their most toxic views on race and biology (known as eugenics), served as a medical consultant for Adolf Hitler's administration and recommended that countless children be put to death at the Spiegelgrund, a clinic for "inferior" children. Many of Asperger's career opportunities were given to him because of the racial privileges he was afforded in Nazi Germany, and although a narrative later emerged that depicted Asperger as an opponent of Nazism, the historical evidence demonstrates that he both sympathized with aspects of and personally benefited from Nazi ideology.

….historical evidence now demostrates which politicians and coporations and investment funds both sympathize with aspects of and personally benefit/-ed from Israeli Nazi offensive war systems sales, and ideology…!
Palestine Action stated that UAV tactical systems, an Elbit Systems subsidiary, is a leading manufacturer of Israeli military drones used extensively to attack or carry out surveillance operations against Palestinians in the occupied territories of West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. The Hermes drone, manufactured at the Leicester factory, is among the many deadly, advanced drones made by Elbit Systems that are supplied to the Israeli military. Palestine Action noted that the Israeli military sources 85% of its drones from Elbit, making it Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer.
According to the group, the Hermes 450 drone, used widely in the Israeli invasions of Gaza in 2014 and 2021 and spotted by its activists in May 2021 during the course of a direct action in which they occupied the factory roof, was also the inspiration behind the watchkeeper drone which has been bought by the UK, the US and several other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. All of Elbit drones are reportedly ‘battle-tested’ on Palestinians under Israeli occupation, a fact the company touts while advertising its drones to foreign customers at weapons expos and other military sales events. (Activists from Palestine Action force Israeli arms factory in UK to shut down for the second time)
Jessica Nero, one of the defendants, said in a press release that the group had mixed feelings about the case being dropped: “This news is bittersweet for us, as Elbit and the UK government have run scared from having their role in Israeli war crimes put on trial.”
Elbit’s drones played a key role in Israel’s killings of more than 2,200 Palestinians in Gaza last summer, Nero noted. “UN bodies and international human rights organizations have accused Israel of war crimes during its recent Gaza massacre,” she added. “What will it take for the UK government to impose a two-way military embargo on Israel and hold it accountable for its crimes against humanity?”
The UK has authorized £49 million ($73.6 million) worth of arms sales to Israel since 2010. Figures from the Campaign Against the Arms Trade show that the UK exported £7 million ($10.5 million) of weapons in the six months leading up to the summer 2014 war on Gaza, including components for drones.
So, you have the thought police, the graphics police, the language police, the lexicon police, the movie police, the law enforcement police, legal police, the education police, the workplace police, the child rearing police, the journalism police, tone police, the history police, and on and on and on . . . .
The amendment, introduced by New York Rep. Mike Lawler, does not clear this bar. It prohibits an institution of higher education from receiving any federal funds allocated in the federal budget if it “authorizes, facilitates, provides funding for, or otherwise supports any event promoting antisemitism” as defined by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. In our letter we explain how these proposals impermissibly target protected speech:
Importantly, the First Amendment protects most of the protests, demonstrations, and statements related to the conflict. No matter how offensive the speech may be to some, many, or even most Americans, the First Amendment protects all viewpoints equally.
Statements supportive of Hamas or against the state of Israel, while heinous to many, do not intrinsically constitute material support for terrorism, incitement, discriminatory harassment, or true threats. If speech falls outside those narrow exceptions to the First Amendment as defined by the Supreme Court, government actors — including public universities — cannot burden, censor, or punish it. Private universities that promise students and faculty freedom of expression, as do the majority of private institutions nationwide, are likewise bound to honor their commitments to free speech.
We also reiterated our longstanding concerns with the use of the IHRA definition as the standard by which institutions of higher education police speech on campus. The IHRA defines “antisemitism” as “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.”
This image disgusts me. Totally disgusts me when that same flag is on bombs, bullets, missiles, tanks and on the halls of the supremacists and politicians in that racist Genocidal state (garrison).
“The vocabulary is extremely contested here,” American University professor Lara Schwartz told The Hill last month. “What constitutes antisemitism, and when critiques of Israel as a country and a government crosses over into antisemitism, is a highly contested area. And it was before Oct. 7.”
Notable Jewish advocacy groups, like the Anti-Defamation League, consider anti-Zionism antisemitic, while other Jewish groups openly advocate for it politically.
Lawler said anti-Zionist language is “putting people in jeopardy” and is part of the reason why he voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in the House on Tuesday.
Tlaib, the only member of Congress of Palestinian heritage, called for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war using the phrase “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” which some considered antisemitic.
The truth is not always what we want to hear.

Every single child in Gaza is facing death – either by Israeli bombardments, starvation or disease.
More than one million children are living a catastrophic health emergency directly caused by Israel’s ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid, according to a new report by Save the Children.
In northern Gaza, which has effectively been cut off from aid deliveries by the Israeli military, one in six toddlers is acutely malnourished, says UNICEF, the United Nations’ children’s fund.
“The Gaza Strip is poised to witness an explosion in preventable child deaths which would compound the already unbearable level of child deaths in Gaza,” warned Ted Chaiban of UNICEF last week.
“If the conflict doesn’t end now, children’s nutrition will continue to plummet, leading to preventable deaths or health issues which will affect the children of Gaza for the rest of their lives and have potential intergenerational consequences,” Chaiban added.
“The Israeli occupation is placing the residents of the Gaza Strip in a triangle of targeting, famine and epidemics,” the Palestinian health ministry stated over the weekend.
Did they fucking scale up these findings for Occupied Palestine?
Middle East expert: Israel has "weaponized" mass starvation in Gaza
Author Khaled Elgindy says he's "run out of nouns" to describe the humanitarian disaster
Blind Spot: America and the Palestinians, from Balfour to Trump,
Israeli ultranationalist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is blocking a U.S.-funded flour shipment to Gaza because its recipient is the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), two Israeli and U.S. officials told Axios.
[Photo: Trigger Warning. Semitic, well, Jewish Semite, a monster of monsters… the flour the U.S. is funding provides food for more than 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. The shipment has been stuck at the Ashdod port for weeks.]
Since 2004, famine has been scientifically defined under the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system.
Famine at phase 5 is the highest on the scale and is defined "as an extreme deprivation of food."
A famine is classified under the IPC system when:
At least 20% of an area's households are facing an extreme lack of food;
30% of children are suffering from acute malnutrition; and
Two people out of every 10,000 are dying every day due to starvation or the combination of malnutrition and disease.
Versus these fucking fat faced, overfed, monsters.
An aircraft carrier may have more than 5,000 sailors on board. To feed all the sailors on an aircraft carrier, more than 17,000 meals must be prepared daily. There are more than 100 cooks on board, which seems like a culinary miracle, but is it? How are meals prepared for such a large number of sailors? When the ship first starts its deployment, there is a lot of fresh food on board. As the weeks go by and the fresh food becomes more and more depleted, frozen or canned food may be used.
But that doesn't mean that the sailors won't get any fresh food at all. The ship has what is called an underway replenishment, the replenishment ship has a lot of fresh food on board that is delivered to the aircraft carrier while it is at sea and underway, and the crew starts the cycle all over again. Also when the ship enters port, it usually has fresh food ready to be stored for the crew. About 17,000 meals are produced daily by around 93 Culinary Specialists staff. These meals range from breakfasts served at 6 a.m. to midnight rations.
Planning is essential to accomplish this goal; the ship's cooks adhere to a menu cycle that lasts for 15 days and receive resupplies at sea once every week, including both dry and fresh commodities. The 5,000 crew aboard an aircraft carrier can consume 1,600 pounds of chicken, 160 gallons of milk, 30 cases of cereal, and 350 pounds of lettuce in a single day. Everything is produced in enormous quantities. Cooks are required to constantly prepare meals, do various activities, and undergo training to learn new responsibilities. All galleys on carriers are sufficiently supplied. After every seven to ten days, a supply ship will bring between 400,000 and 1 million pounds of food. When there is a need for variation in the deliveries, it is not uncommon for regional foods to be included, such as feta cheese from Greece.
Palestinians in Gaza eating animal feed to survive as NGOs condemn Israel's use of hunger as weapon of war!!
• Calling for, aiding or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. [Calling for extreme measures on IDF/IOF/Et al for raping, murdering, starving, harming, amputation, poisoning, bombing, imprisoning innocents in Gaza just happens to be righteous and fair. Are they all Jewish working that mad-man’s genocide? Mostly. All should be finished with extreme prejudice. This is not ANTI-SEMITISM]
• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews. [Accusing the top Jewish billionaires of supporting arming Israel and supporting arming Mossad and Wadi Valley to carry out mass murder and mass surveillance and mass hacking and mass lawfare and mass theft os assets is not antisemitism.]
• Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g.,gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust). [So, that old ‘scope’ dilemma. All facts, figures, details, all of that, off limits, no? Wrong. Historians and fact checkers can do all the digging they want to and that’s not ANTISEMITIC.]
• Accusing the Jews as a people or Israel as a state of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. [So, it isn’t the Holocaust Industry as Norman Finkelstein calls it/}
• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide than to the interests of their own nations. [So, Zionism first, or Jewish first, when declared by Jews and non-Jews, if we point that out, it is NOT antisemitic.]
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel. [Supporting Israel now, before Oct. 7 and after 1967, with money, junkets, Wailing Wall tears, all of that, while the death machine of Israel pounds and pounds more tools of death into reality to murder and snipe Palestinians, well well, darn, collective punishment, uh? Is that what the Jews of Jewish State of Occupied Palestine are doing now? Since Oct. 7? Since Nakba?
Anti-Zionist activist and author Miko Peled gives his view on the predicament of Palestinian refugees since 1948 and how Israel and the West are repeating history with their ethnic cleansing campaign of Palestinians in Gaza.
To fully understand the genocide taking place in the Gaza Strip, we need to look at how Israel has strategically distanced itself from any responsibility for the fate of the Palestinian refugees. Israel has consistently used lies and fabrications to lay the blame for the Palestinian refugees on others.

Ahh, so Miko would be considered Anti-Semitic in Israel, and at Harvard? How'd he end up speaking there?
And so more people Unsubscribing from me, even as free-loaders (no paid subscription).
Just saw Cindy Sheehan unsubscribed. Hmm, interesting. I know in my heart there may be an aversion to too many "Jewish" this and "Jew" that in the headlines/titles are just way too much for some folk.
Adios.
