THERE IT IS. There's the fucking claim of Jewish power in America. It took you a while but you finally took your mask off completely.

I am a big fan of Senator Kelly. I am suggesting one edit:

1) It is the sign of a weak mind to turn to ad hominem attacks.

2) The ICCJ has not ruled that there is a genocide. If they do, there will be serious questions about their bias.

3) The UN, parent of UNRWA, has displayed its antiIsrael bias for decades.

4) I have waste enough time with you so.

If there was a genocide taking place in Gaza, I guarantee that you would be hearing us condemn it. As there is not a genocide, no matter how hard you try to twist the definition to fit your biased and factually false narrative, you won’t hear us condemn it.

That said, I still don’t understand your formulation. Are you saying that Jews don’t think it is a problem and they should? Are you trying to say that this is more than just a Jewish problem? My confusion is based on the wording. Thanks.

I have been on transit to the U.S. since Sunday so I don’t know enough specifics about this particular situation to comment.

I do agree, and have posted about it elsewhere, that Trump and Musk are Jewhaters and are not to be trusted.

Again, Holocaust inversion and Jewhatred. You don’t even attempt to hide it. Be well.

It didn’t take long for you to pull the Shoah inversion card.

Be honest. Nobody felt sorry for us Jews during the first Shoah. Had they, they would have done something to stop it.

The lesson for us is that we have nobody to depend on to protect us from our enemies than ourselves.

Your β€œpoint” is factually incorrect. Consequently, your point cannot be proven as correct.

What is happening in Gaza? War, one declared by Hamas.

Is it tragic and sad that civilians, especially innocent ones but even bystanders are killed? Yes.

Does that constitute genocide? NO.

10.03.2025 23:05 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

That is impossible given that there is no genocide taking place in Gaza and the only genocidal party to the conflict is Hamas.

Please clarify what you mean by β€œAnd don’t for a minute believe this is a concern for Jewish people.” Thank you.

Thank you! Also worth noting that Trump’s DoD hired a deputy spokesperson who posts Jewhate and conspiracy theories regarding Jews on a regular basis.

Hi Greg.

I wasn’t coming looking for a fight. I agree with you re Trump. I apologize if my If my comment regarding Jewhate coming from both sides gave you the impression that I was looking for a fight. That was not the case.

You are a plain old Jewhating conspiracy theorist who believes that we Jews simultaneously control everything and are subhuman.

I’m pretty certain it is the latter.

No. That’s not what Zelenskyy said or implied. He was referring to the fact that the U.S. is thousands of miles from Russia. He is saying that while the Trump Administration may think that Russia won’t be a threat, Putin cannot be trusted, will lie to Trump, and turn on the U.S.

Or…

Be well. I have no need or interest in engaging with pro-Hamas folks like you who have bought the Hamas lie about genocide.

Which quote? I agree that Palestinian lives should be no less sacred. Jewish lives should not be less sacred either. As for the roots of his values being in the Torah, well that works if he acknowledges that he is ignoring and delegitimating lots of other values in the Torah.

On this point, I agree 100%. I acknowledge what Trump just did to get some of our hostages out, & he is a danger to all of humanity. The far right will come after us Jews. Trump changes his direction easily & will throw us under the bus if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere.

This is the tokenization equivalent of speaking as though the Neturei Karta represent a significant percentage of Jews.

Rosen represents a statistically insignificant number of Jews. The attention he gets for his antizionist position is far beyond his actual relevance.

It is truly disgusting. I agree with you. An Autoblock button would be great!

Seriisuky, I had never heard the term Alevi applied to Alewites until you used it here. Is that the Arabic pronunciation of what we hear on the news as Alawite? I appreciate your patience I am genuinely interested. Thanks again.

I really appreciate your answering me and recognizing that I was serious.

Another question: who is the β€œwe” to which you refer? Again, I seek to understand.

I am adopting the Ted Lasso interpretation of the Walt Whitman quote: Be curious, not judgmental.

Thanks again!

1) I stand with Ukraine.
2) Even Hamas has lowered the claimed death toll, over 50% of whom are their own terrorists (or β€œfreedom fighters as some want
us to believe).
3) Big Ben guy has caused less fear than the Hamas-Jewhating supporters who march regularly in London to intimidate Jews.

Serious question: are you writing about the Alawites? The only Alevi I have heard about is a Jewish summer camp. I don’t mean this sarcastically at all. I just want to understand. Thanks.
