You hit the nail on the head once again, my friend. Perfectly stated. Of course, and as you noted, nothing gets the Jew-haters (I'm sorry, "anti-Zionists") more furious than to point out the obvious fact that they are motivated by Jew-hatred.

By ‘free’, I believe you mean free from Hamas and free from nihilistic hatred? 🤗

Brilliant. Just really, really brilliant. Thank you.

How lucky the internet is to have you.

Pat, here's a [not at all serious] question: how can so many retardants be fuelled by an accelerant? Love your posts!

Thank you for stating the obvious. That is, obvious for me. Most people will give the answers you quote, because saying out loud that they hate Jews is not done. But the result is the same. Nothing has changed in the last few hundred years. And it probably never will. Frightening!

Adding one more reason whybthe pro-palestinian network exists: to mask jihadist activities elsewhere. I am convinced that if a jihadist massacre in, say, Nigeria,gets any media attention, the jihadist there used to call there Jihadist Hezbolla or Hamas friends and arrange a "distraction". We are hearing more about what is happening in Sudan, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Yemen and elsewhere because Hezbollah and Hamas can no longer oblige

Pat thanks for this astute analysis. Now the question becomes how do we get the truth out there? How do we open people's eyes to the utter fattousness of the proPali western propaganda? There are a lot of people who aren't antiSemetic but just going along with it all. After all if people are this empassioned Israel must be doing something really heinous. How do we get to them?

All we can do is keep pounding out the truth. Something has to get through ... maybe?

So much ignorance, so little punctuation.

Please continue. I'm adding this to my dissertation on Fragile Internet Men.

You should be in the Witless Protection Program. Anyway, one more comment and you're blocked.

Yes: Palestinians are being manipulated to act against their own self-interest. If they had leaderships that did not serve the need of the world to keep antisemitism alive, they could have been living in stability and greater prosperity.

Pat, I love this. As usual. I always enjoy when a new post from you shows up in my notifications. My own mother used to work hard to ignore me on this issue. We finally had a good conversation about it the other night but she was constantly making one appeal to authority after another and I had to be sooooooo careful to deconstruct each one without just reductio ad absurding them all.

I finally have a grammatical quibble! Your posts are generally flawless, I was beginning to despair. But the Arab and Islamic nations need to distract FROM their oppressed populations, not for them.

Now that I'm in deep on this comment I can't count the paragraphs to tell you which one. It's in the last third somewhere.

So grateful to you as always for doing what I have neither the imagination nor the spare time to do.

Pat's BEATEN WITH A SHTICK's avatar

Hahaha. Thanks Will! I'll try to find it and fix it!

So well said. Very clear. Thank you

Wow, Pat!

Thank you for your insight and support! Another great article.

‘Palestinian Human Rights’ is an oxymoron

Maureen Bailey's avatar

Thanks for this insight, Pat. I read your posts to learn.

Damn, I think you checked every box with this one, Pat. So perfectly explained.

As for the people who are so beleaguered of the term “antisemitism,” I would like to say to them in their own words (that they use to invalidate us whiney Jews who are tired of actually living with it), “Oh too bad, at least there aren’t bombs falling on you.”

Excellent and comprehensive listing of the techniques used to justify the hatred. Snap snap.

They can use any euphemism or back alley route they want but their Jew Hate is lit-up in a neon spotlight. They mostly hate the Jews because they can see right through them.
