Hello Professor I have been following your discussion on Anti-Semitism as well as other discussions online. I have DM’d some of the folks in the discussion because I keep hearing people say Zionist this and Zionist that. I have asked them what they mean by Zionist and specifically trying to get a specific definition from them on what they define Zionist as. To my surprise it’s been silence. I never get a response or answer. It seems to me that their use of the term Zionist is either misunderstood, misguided, or simply ignorant. I would like your opinion or thoughts on that.

Same here. I do the same when people call Israel an apartheid state or hear use of the word genocide in relation to Israel.

99% of the time, there is no response. The rest is gibberish.

What makes an apologist? Please point what in my question made you to jump to your silly conclusion, brave man Joe?

Looks like you use terms you know no real meaning for 😢

That's your best shot? Claiming others don't know the meaning of the worlds they are using? That's all you have? Pathetic.

Now I am sure yoh know the meaning of the next couple of words: shut the fuck up and stop wasting my time, moron.

I agree, except for your analysis on Ukraine. Why is it so difficult for the babyboomers to understand that Russia is no longer the Soviet Union?

When will they lose the ill-will, and hatred for Russia?

Russia is a republic, using capitalism as it's mode of production.

Furthermore, Ukraine did not abide by the MINSK agreement, for whatever reason and so Donbas asked Russia to engage in the civil war. Not to mention, we were directly involved in overthrowing Yanukovich, which instigated the chaos in 2014.

Despite these facts, all were hear is "Russia bad", Russia invasion" and "Russia aggression."

We are starting to look like the Soviet Union.

Good morning, professor. Thank you for your post. As the socialist workers party says, those carrying water for Hamas today who also call themselves socialist will likely find themselves in fascist gangs in the near future. You’ve lumped the SWP in with the Stalinists and Maoists who support Hamas but please acknowledge that the SWP is different. They demanded the entry of Jewish refugees from the terror in the 1930s and 40s when the Stalinists and the entire liberal and reformist left supported Roosevelt and his policy of effectively appeasing Hitler. How could you belong and identify with the party of Jew hating Roosevelt?

He voted for Biden, Obama, and probably every other Jew hater in the Democrat party.

Unfortunately, as a Jew, I've never understood this mindset of any Jew.

Expand full comment

That's a fallacious argument, which means that you've never understood your own mind.

Actually, despite the fallacy, I agree with you. You seem confused 🤔

If you're referring to me, I understand my mind.

Not what you stated: "Unfortunately, as a Jew, I've never understood this mindset of any Jew."

If you " 've never understood this mindset of any Jew," and you are a Jew ....

You mean to say, comrade Salinas, that Stalin's party name was NOT Russian Socialist Democratic Worker's Party? Oh my ... I am soooo confused 😁

And Hitler's was NOT National Socialist Worker's Party of Germany?... I am soooo confused 😁

Or, do you mean to say that, according with popular belief spread by modern day left, either of these parties was not leftist? 🤔😉🙃

Thank you for your brilliance, comrade Salinas!! I am touched 😉🥲

Wow, you’re more ignorant than I pegged you for. Stalin’s party was actually the German communist party. There was no such thing as Russian Socialist Democratic Worker’s party. There was a Russian Social Democratic Party which transformed into the Russian communist party under Lenin. Go read a book, like The Struggle Against Fascism in Germany. You’re not educated enough to converse with me.

Well, because you chose to educated me, comrade Salinas 😁, I checked. How's your Russian, comrade Salinas? The name of Lenin's, Stalin's, and even Trotsky's party was: RSDWP/РСДРП = Российская Социал Демократическая Рабочая Партия/Russian Socialist Democratic Worker's Party. I know this from the Horse's mouth, which has been indoctrinating me for 15 years and self-education: original works of Lenin, Stalin, Buharin, etc. etc. etc.

See? I was brought up as a perfectly brainwashed commie. When it comes to socialist/Communist history, American Pravda will NOT convince me that Nazis were far-right. Yea, right 😁 Far maybe and certainly LEFT.

Which of the Pravda sources have you gotten your education, comrade Salinas? 😁

The recent rise in antisemitism is the natural reaction to the aggressive persecution of Trump and his followers. The leftist J--s impeached him without finding a crime or misdemeanor and have been relentless from the day of his inauguration. They are the 800 lb gorilla in the room no one dares to mention. You , Levin, Horowitz and others have criticized the "elite" but are naturally reluctant to recognize that the leaders are of that group. Some of the leaders, Schumaer, Schiff, etc have said they want to give statehood to DC and PR, pack the Supreme Court, end the Electoral College, gerrymander to favor (democrat) minorities, open the border to immigrants from authoritarian cultures, abort (mostly gentile white) babies. All these will have the effect of creating a single party fake democracy. We are losing our democracy without anyone having the guts to point to the leaders for fear of the red antisemitism word.

The recent rise in anti-Semitism has nothing to do with Trump impeachment by Jews: Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, Cheney. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump

But it does take a Jew-hater to see evil, horned Jews everywhere.

The central, sine-qua-non movers were Nadler, Schiff, Schumer., Franken Blumenthal and others. They needed pretend witnesses: Sunland, Venman, Jovanovic, Parnassus etc. Experts, three from Harvard. And on television every night for guided providing the propaganda support, Maddow,

Soooo .... What you are saying is that you are cherry picking the evidence to fit your predetermined conclusion.

Have I missed the message? Is confirmation bias no more fallacy? Or is a Jew-hater strikes again?

Do tell Charles please ✌️🕊️

Looks like the only solution that would satisfy your fancy is no more Jews in the world.

I suspect the Soviet vote in favour of recreating Israel in 1948 was only ever just tactical. It broke up the political Arab front of ruling feudal kings and princes. Uncle Joe could tell the Jews he supported their political independence. After all. no-one thought the nascent Israel could beat off the attacking Arab armies. After the extinction of Israel Uncle Joe could tell the Jews he had supported them AND tell the Arabs his support for Israel had only ever been tactical. Uncle Joe always wanted it both ways !

excellent, and great points. That said my cousin, whose parents were both holocaust survivors, justifies hamas' actions by the way Israel treats the Palestinians. I've tried to argue this nonsense. Any advice?

Ok Joe, you seem to be highly knowledgeable.

Do name Muslim countries, which do NOT treat their ORDINARY Palestinians as second class and offer as many rights and as high standard of living as Israel offers it's 20% of population, ORDINARY Palestinians Arabs.

I'll be waiting, right hear.

For the trolling bully you are, you are neither smart nor educated.

The actions on October 7th was indeed an act of terrorism. Terrorism must be dealt with. How to deal with it is the real issue. It is clear to many of us that Israel has been to zealous in it's approach and thus brought the condemnation on herself. Diplomacy and targeted attacks that involve far less innocent civilian deaths is what is needed. Fortunately it seems Israel is slowly getting the message. I believe world intervention can bring out a new and perhaps better outcome than Israel and Hamas have been able to achieve with the violence both sides manifest.

Have the US and allies been too zealous genociding Al Qaida and ISIS?

Was Kuwait too zealous expelling ALL 400,000 of it's Palestinians in 1991?

Was Lebanon too zealous murdering and expelling terrorist Palestinians in 1986?

Was Jordan too zealous murdering and expelling it's terrorist Palestinians in 1970 Black September?

Somehow only Jews are too zealous, when they deal with way more than any of the previously described events.

You seem to be utterly ignorant of the fact that the only reason Hamas and Hezbollah exist and terrorize Israel is because your suggested "world intervention" prevents Israel from winning the war.

Somehow the Jewish state is the only one which is not allowed by the world to win.

Why is that Newman Newstone?
