“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

According to Zionists, people who don’t want children killed are antisemitic. People who don’t want civilians killed are antisemitic.

Think what they’re saying:

If you don’t want children killed, you hate all Jews. Ergo, all Jews want children killed.

News flash: Implying that all Jews want children killed is antisemitic.

If you don’t want civilians killed, you hate all Jews. Ergo, all Jews want civilians killed.

News flash: Implying that all Jews want civilians killed is antisemitic.

Repeat after me: Zionists are antisemites.

"There has never been an Israeli government not littered with war criminals. There has never been an Israeli government that has not perpetrated crimes against humanity. As a settler-colonial ethno-state, Israel is inherently oppressive for Palestinians. This was true before Netanyahu, and will be true after Netanyahu. It is time that people moved past their denial and honestly and critically reflect on this."

Some people imagine that Israel controls the west. Not so. "Israel is the bastard child of the west."

"It is nothing exceptional... It is white, western, colonial, genocidal racism, repackaged as a supposedly 'Jewish' project."

Its crimes promote western control over the oil-rich Middle East.

And "the west knows that any criticism of Israel's imperial control & pillage can be dismissed as antisemitism."

Among other things, the BlueSky Zionist accused someone of victim-blaming. That sparked a memory.

The image is from "The fate of the Jews" by Roberta Strauss Feuerlicht (1983).

Zionists believed Jews had to be transplanted in order to be redeemed. Uri Avnery wrote, “Zionist literature, taught to every Jewish child in Palestine, depicted Jewish life in Eastern Europe as despicable, the whole tradition and folklore of the ghetto as cowardly, crooked, parasitical.”5 He noted that Jews were “depicted in Zionist schoolbooks in a way rather reminiscent of anti-Semitic literature,”6 and because of this, Israelis consider themselves “vastly superior” to diaspora Jews, “treating them at best with a paternalistic, rather colonial attitude.”7 Yehezkel Kaufman, professor of Bible studies at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, wrote that Jewish nationalism was built “on a foundation of anti-Semitism.” It blamed Jews themselves for their misfortunes and said they deserved to be hated. To shed their iniquities they had to leave the diaspora and become a nation and a people like all others. “The poison which flows from Jewish nationalist sources,” wrote Kaufman, “is perhaps the most dangerous of them all.”8 [paragraph deleted to make room] He noted that every nation has its diaspora—those who emigrated—yet “none are considered slaves and dogs except the Jews—and by themselves.”10 He wrote, “Many Zionists . . . are completely convinced that in order to become ‘good Zionists’ we must first become ‘good anti-Semites,’ that we must first hate ourselves.” 11
