"…the left doesn’t just have a Corbyn problem or a Tlaib problem or a Farrakhan problem. It has a big, fat Jew-hatred problem right in its ideological core.” NYU student, Tal Fortgang
I cannot understand how anyone can back the very-functionally-genocidal Israeli government who've killed way over 10000 concentration camp enclosed civilians since October, any more than I understand how anyone can back the wanna-be-genocidal-but-lacks-proper-weaponry-to-pull-it-off Hamas government who killed a portion of the 1400ish Israeli casualties since October 7 (hamas killed the part of that group that was not Hannibal Doctrined into extinction by the IDF themselves.)
I totally understand how anyone can back the noncombatant civilians on either side of the concentration camp fences around Gaza and the West Bank though. both governments suck, both say publicly they want as many of the other side dead as they can manage, but Israel is the one with billions on billions of dollars worth of US weaponry, US satellite surveillance access, and straight up US military backing.
in a situation like this one, the group with higher tech firepower, total control over ingress/egress to the conflict area, and 10x the civilian casualty count absolutely deserves to be called out at least as much as the side fighting inside the concentration camp fences. whether that calling out is by "liberals," "conservatives," or "independents," speaking out against genocide is critically important.
as far as the Jewish people worldwide being in danger because of the situation, they have the Zionist Israeli government's violent and genocidal actions to thank for angering other ethnic groups to the point of (potentially misdirected in many cases) retaliation.
I have to agree with the reader who noted this essay is way beyond the length of an average 3000 word writing. This essay could be made into 2 short stories.
Has any of the readers of this essay ever gone beyond the norm to come up with the reasons why elitist Jews have been hated in many lands across the planet over the passed couple of centuries???
an' many blessin's back at'cha--I'm a mite bee-hind in my readin' so I missed yer quote--but I got that essay bookmarked! (it's a long'un but I'll git to it soon!)

Poor students whinging about nasty emails while children in their thousands are torn limb from limb - what happened to you Karen? You got lost in the darkness, my friend. It makes me nauseous.
What you write all makes sense if you leave out the major issue driving the antisemitism we see rising pretty much anywhere. Do you ask "Why now?" what is changing? Why would people be so upset with Israel when it was the victim of an horrific assault by Hamas invaders on October 7th? Why is Greenwald taking his position? Is he self-hating? Irrational? Racist? What the world has seen is gross brutality and a flagrant violence against humanity in the Israeli response to Hamas. We see helpless civilians driven under rocket fire from homes. We see all... ALL hospitals (including WHO facilities) destroyed; people starved, massive slaughter. It's called war, but it is not. One side has dropped TONS of bombs flattening the entire North of a people's homeland and is well on the way to flattening the rest. I am sorry Karen, this is shocking and ugly in the extreme and is not supportable. If LA, for example, has a gang problem with people being kidnapped and murdered, the response is not to flatten the city and kill thousands of residents to root them out. No one would accept that. Another thing to think about is the incredible damage the atrocities the world is witnessing is having on Israel and its future. As this continues all will have to abandon Israel - even the US. More and more people will have a repulsion to Israel like they have had to Pol Pot's Cambodia, Idi Amin's Uganda, and other cruel and genocidal tyrants. Israel becomes extremely vulnerable without international support... which it is driving away. If you are a true supporter of the long-term survival of that country you will reject what is happening as suicidal. If you are a moral being you will repel in disgust at what is happening. If you are a humanitarian you will, likewise, be repulsed. So, maybe the energy behind the backlash against Jews is fueled by the outrage people feel at the horror Israel has been visiting on Palestinians for decades that has now exploded into full view. All people... jewish included... should condemn the slaughter of innocents, the collective destruction of the whole for a small group of criminals in their midst. I believe that if the world saw the rejection of this by Jews around the world that the hostility towards innocent Jews would abate. But they do not and it gives the impression that this group is OK with crimes against humanity. Not good. This does NOT make Israel safe. Does Israel have a right to protect itself from being attacked? Absolutely. Should it take attackers and mete out justice? Absolutely. Should it visit atrocities on a whole group of non-combatant civilian residents? Absolutely not. Yes, Hamas and other terror groups are dangerous and call for genocide. They warrant a vigorous response - within the law and targeted at the perpetrators, not the entire population. It is NOT OK to pursue a threat of genocide with actual genocide. Do support Israel. Do decry attacks on innocent Jews. Do raise alarm at call for ANY group of people to be 'wiped out'. But not with a blind eye to the the attrocities that are the driving force behind these trends. Oh, there is so much more to say...
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Greenwald and a number of other anti-Great Reset, anti-totalitarian writers like CJ Hopkins and Michael Rectenwald have taken up this antisemitic position - it's heartbreaking and utterly infuriating.
Painfully obvious the battle is spiritual and many hearts are blinded, dead and dark, like their owner, who deceives and projects his vileness. Wake up, people🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
- Ephesians 6:12 TLV
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks lies he is just being himself—for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- John 8:44 TLV
And just as they did not see fit to recognize God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what is not fitting. They became filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents. They are foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree—that those who practice such things deserve death—they not only do them but also approve of others who practice the same.
Well written & must needed timelines. I’m afraid that the division and manipulation of free thought may have reached the point of no return.
With the media signed on 100% any dissenting voice is immediately silenced and typically either the author slandered or worse, there may be little hope.
Division has occurred in my close circle that was tightly holding firmly against the horrors of Covid. Now it's Israel. I am broken hearted. I continue to see that one day I may stand alone with my husband. There are no guarantees in this world and God has no grand children.

Greenwald unfortunately despises Israel and is a self hater or more accurately a hater of his Jewish identity. He picks his free speech rants very selectively. Disappointing because he is intelligent and a good investigative reporter. But his anti-Israel and anti-Jewish invective disqualifies him on both subjects. As for the elite globalist college cesspools, you are seeing the result of decades of Qatar based funding and brainwashing. One college President down. 2 more to go.

Stick it up your stupid Zionist ass. It is NOT anti-Semitic to protest the deaths of tens of thousands.
Bored by this fake war in Israel/Gaza. Import all these pukes to The Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St.Paul where they'll have the 2nd Amendment.
