#Counterfire | ‘Good Jews’, ‘bad Jews’ and imperialist lies

"This raises the question: If the majority of Jews were again to champion the cause of oppressed peoples, would the imperialists revert to their old anti-Semitic ways? For anti-Zionist Jews, this is an irrelevant question. Under no circumstances will they abandon their opposition to oppression."

Counterfire‘Good Jews’, ‘bad Jews’ and imperialist liesIsrael has always been a project promoted by Imperialist powers, and this has profound implications for the history of anti-Semitism, argues David Cohen Israel’s mass murder of Palestinians, with the open support of Britain, the USA and other powers, continues unabated.

@EndIsraeliApartheid : they'd like everyone to think that condemning genocide is antisemitism.

However, they're confusing antisemitism with antizionism.

Antisemitism is prejudiced hatred of any Jew, regardless of what they did, their opinions or even their age (fsck any other made up definition).

THAT definition of antisemitism is what CAUSED the WWII genocide.

Zionism is what causes the genocide taking place in Palestine since 1948, intensified in Oct. 2023. Not of Jews, but of Palestinians.

Deliberately stating that antizionism is antisemitism implies Holocaust denial.

Actually twice: because of what I wrote above, and because of the "never again" message. We are repeatedly told to learn from the Holocaust, but apparently "never again" only applies to Jews - Zionists living in Israel in particular.

Apart from that, not all antisemtism is as bad as it seems (the picture below was transmitted often on Dutch TV - without the mitigating text).

It's a discrace for anyone with (partial) Jewish blood - like me.

I'm going to make this as simple and straightforward as I can make it.

You don't have to agree with Zionism

You don't have to believe that Zionism is Jewish civil rights.

You don't have to agree with the Zionist idea of Jewish self-determination.

But you do have to accept the following:

Holding all Zionists responsible for the actions of a few politicians in a minority government is not just wrong, it's a form of hate.

Zionism has been part of Jewish thought since were forcibly expelled from our homeland 2,000 years ago, and even in its modern form is older than Herzel and the European Zionist movement.

Saying Zionism is a hate group or hateful ideology is disgusting and inverting the meaning of hate.

70-80% of all Jews are Zionists, and Zionists live around the world.

Using minority viewpoints to say what is and isn't part of Judaism is gross and tokenizing.

"I see almost no antisemitism," Musk said

I wonder which definition of antisemitism he meant at the time.

Jan. 23, 2024, from lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2:

"In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism," Musk said at the conference in a discussion with conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire.
[...]
Musk said that had there been social media at the time of World War II, the Holocaust "would have been impossible to hide" and lives could have been saved.

Yeah right, X prevents genocide 🇮🇱

Counter demo against Zionist bullying of Francesca Albanese

Dominicuskerk, Amsterdam, dinsdag 11 februari om 19:15 CET

Amsterdam Student Encampment (source)

Tomorrow the CIDI will demonstrate AGAINST the arrival of Francesca Albanese. We think it is important that Francesca will be heard and want to show that we support her.

That is why we will organize a counter-demonstration.

As is so often the case during our counter demonstrations against Zionist demos, there is a certain level of risk involved in participating as the Dutch police are so very obviously not on our side.

RST phone number will be shared tomorrow, so please keep an eye on social media for the latest updates.

We strongly advise everyone travel, arrive & leave in groups. Designate a separate pre-meeting location &/or a safe place to converge post-action in the event you a separated from your crew. We also recommend keeping kuffiyehs, signs & flags hidden until you reach the counter-demo location.

Years ago, a prominent person told me that I had to re-label my Zionism to something else to not have it be confused with Kahanism (my words not hers).

Then let's see the anti-Zionists who argue for the destruction of Israel make a different term to differentiate them from those that wish to see Israel democratically merge with Palestine through a shared mandate.
