Weaponizing Jewish fear, from Tel Aviv to Amsterdam: Rhetoric about ‘pogroms’ and ‘Jew hunts’ aims to obscure reality by generating mass hysteria — which can then be used to advance a far-right agenda.

“In the wake of October 7, scholars of antisemitism, genocide, and Jewish history have warned of the ways that particularly traumatic episodes in Jewish history have been evoked to justify Israel’s onslaught on Gaza and crack down on those who criticize it. As antisemitism scholar Brendan McGeever articulated clearly, despite being brutal and disturbing, the incident in Amsterdam was no pogrom ... The proliferation of this term and others like it in the aftermath of the violence only served to obfuscate the reality of those events through creating mass hysteria…“

🙊 No comment (is also a comment)

“Several Muslim and Arab supporters of Trump said they hoped Richard Grenell, Trump's former acting director of national intelligence, would play a key role after he led months of outreach to Muslim and Arab American communities, and was even introduced as a potential next secretary of state at events.

“Another key Trump ally, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, met repeatedly with Arab American and Muslim leaders.

“Both promised Arab American and Muslim voters that Trump was a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond…”

"Israel will disappear"… an impressive thread.

https://social.coop/@raph/113478526116527333 ff. 🧵

“… Israel as we know it (a militaristic, apartheid state that offers democracy and liberalism to Jews only) is disappearing. It is slowly but surely becoming theocratic and authoritarian, even to Jews…”

Fr. Albanese’s answer to a question “Do you believe that Israel has a right to exist?”

https://social.coop/@raph/113477119266226969

🙏 I couldn’t but transcribe. Corrections welcome.

“Israel does exist. Israel is a recognised member of the United Nations. Beside this, there is not such a thing in International Law like a right of a state to exist. Does Italia have a right to exist? Italia exists! Now, if tomorrow Italia and France want to merge, and become “Itafrance”, fine! This is not up to us. What is enshrined in International Law is the right of a people to exist. So the state is there, the state of Israel is there, is protected as a member of the United Nations. Does this justify the erasure of another people? - a “No”. Not 75 years ago, not 57 years ago, surely not today. Where is the protection of the Palestinian people, from erasure, from annexation, from illegal occupation, and apartheid? This is what we need to discuss, hmm?”

'Absurdist': Jewish Artists Warn Against Germany's New Antisemitism Resolution (Haaretz, 2024-11-12)

https://wisskomm.social/@mmzpotsdam/113474618449238509

“Jewish artists and academics in Germany have come out strongly against a new government resolution aimed at combating antisemitism, with some warning that it may lead to a surreal situation where Jewish and Israeli human rights groups are deemed antisemitic by the German state.”

“Historian Prof. Miriam Rürup, who heads the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish Studies, says she saw a ‘shocking’ subtext in the resolution. ‘It speaks of Jews as a “gift” and of “our” gratitude that Jewish life exists in contemporary Germany.’ To her, this resonates as a division into ‘them’ and ‘us,’ effectively othering Jews.

“As a Jew in Germany, she declares, ‘I don't want to be seen as a gift.’"

After suspension, MK Cassif defends criticism of IDF as ‘well-founded statements’ (Times of Israel, 2024-11-11)

“MK Ofer Cassif defends comments he made about the IDF and Israel’s war in Gaza over which the Knesset Ethics Committee voted today to suspend him for six months.

“‘My political statements against the occupation, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli government in Gaza – witnessed by the entire world – are well-founded statements protected under the freedom of political expression,’ Cassif says in a statement.”

“‘My punishment is a continuation of the political persecution of opponents of the war and critics of [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s bloody rule,’ Cassif asserts, adding that he is ‘proud to be a partner of the good people who are persecuted by this evil government.’”

Jewish Organizations Around the Globe Condemn German Parliamentary Resolution on Antisemitism

11 November 2024

As Jewish organizations in 19 countries on 6 continents, representing a multitude of members from diverse Jewish backgrounds and traditions, we declare our outrage and condemnation towards the resolution passed in the German Bundestag on November 7th under the title “Never Again Is Now: Protecting, Preserving and Strengthening Jewish Life”. The content of the resolution makes a mockery of its own title.

With a certain amount of the Israeli #Maccabi (hooli)fans’ violence described, and yet this headline…

“What happened before the game?

“Street disturbances began Wednesday night, a full day before the match, after Maccabi fans began arriving in Amsterdam.

“The authorities in Amsterdam said supporters of Maccabi had taken down a Palestinian flag from a building. A video posted to social media and verified by The New York Times shows men climbing a building to tear down a Palestinian flag while others nearby shout anti-Arab chants…“

“Peter Holla, Amsterdam’s police chief, said that on Wednesday night Maccabi fans had burned a Palestinian flag in Dam Square,… and had attacked a taxi; 10 people were detained, mostly on charges of disrupting public order…”
