Hate on Haters
I deleted a comment yesterday left on Orthodox Anarchist by a Montreal resident calling himself “fuc israel” who, in the same breath, called “Zionist Jews” “Nazis,” praised Hizbullah, and wished for the Jews’ extermination.
Note to “fuc israel,” let alone the fact that Hizbullah’s backers renamed their country Iran (persian for aryan) as a salute to the Nazis, when you call for the extermination of another people, it is you who holds the most in common with Nazis. No one should be exterminated by anyone. How’s that?
But, ah, those kooky Canucks. Little Green Footballs (granted, hardly a beacon of tempered thought and criticism — in fact, we’ve reamed them so many times on Jewschool that they redirect all traffic from the site to the IDF’s homepage) posted this lovely photo (you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser) of a man at last week’s anti-Israel rally in Montreal sporting some rather stylish Hizbullah fashions in an expression of solidarity with a group which has proclaimed the present conflict “the beginning of the end for Israel.”
Likewise, a JTA newsbrief reported earlier today,
The Israeli-Hezbollah conflict is having repercussions in Canada, according to B’nai Brith Canada.
The group says anti-Semitic incidents have increased in recent days, including a bomb threat against a synagogue, the stoning of worshippers emerging from evening prayers and a Jewish family being sent a decapitated pig.
Wow. That last one’s pretty original.
Not to worry, “fuc israel,” Canadians like yourself aren’t alone in making bad Nazi analogies. They now ascend from every corner where colonialists, fascists, racists, and antisemites are hunting for excuses to erase the guilt of their pasts (and presents). Despite the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia declaring “comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” a manifestation of contemporary antisemitism, thus far a British parliamentarian with the Conservative party compared Israel’s actions in Lebanon to the Nazi razing of the Warsaw ghetto; likewise, an unattributed editorial in the South African Mail & Guardian made a similar comparison to Lidice; and in the greatest affront to both sense and history, Dutch Socialist party leader Jan Marijnissen told Penthouse that Islamic terrorism is akin to WWII-era resistance against Nazism. This sentiment was apparently not lost on Greek protesters in Athens, who chanted “Hizbullah! Hizbullah!” while lobbing rocks, bottles, flares and molotov cocktails at the Israeli embassy. (After all, such behavior, in no way, substantiates Israel’s fierce response against those who overtly state their desire to destroy it.)
Recalling Hizbullah’s attacks on Argentina’s Israeli embassy in 1992 and a Jewish community center in 1994 (let alone the recent actions of countless useful idiots who, once again, decry Jewish nationalism as racist and Israel’s [overzealous and disproportionate] self-defense as illegitimate, while championing Islamic nationalism and acts of terrorism against civilians as legitimate acts of resistance) Israel on monday warned international Jewish communities to brace themselves for attack, moving Jewish institutions around the world towards a heightened state of alert.
Joy of joys.
Fuck Hizbullah and all its cheerleaders. Fuck ’em all right in the ear.
Why do you engage this moron in a debate? Did he give you the impression from his comments that he might be a reasonable fellah?
If you really want to get back at the idiots, move to Israel permanently and encourage other Jews to do the same. There is no greater revenge than making aliyah in response to islamic ati-semitism.
Besides, it’s gonna happen anyway, just like the arabs threw out the Jews in 1948. As much as muslims hate Israel, their stupidity prevents them from seeing that their actions only increase immigration to Israel. Funny, the more they attack Jews the stronger Israel gets.
i already live in israel fool
formermuslim: It is imperative for us to hear and to know the people who want to destroy us. Too many people, as this site demonstrates, are convinced that our enmies are our own creations. The victims of years of oppression and abuse, reacting in the way any human being would.
Or we could pull our heads out of the sand and listen to what these folks themselves are actually saying:
We dont want peace. We want to kill all Jews in all places at any time. We want our children to blow themselves up in crowded malls and nightclubs in order to join allah and enjoy 72 virgins.
Or as Ahmedinejad puts, do away with the Zionist problem for good.
Thanks for the post Mobius
“It is imperative for us to hear and to know the people who want to destroy us.”
Correct, to keep your distance from them.
” Too many people, as this site demonstrates, are convinced that our enmies are our own creations.”
Yes other Jews, you can try to convince them. But to enter a debate with idiots is pointless. They WANT to believe this shit about Jews. Talking back is pointless because they are not listening.
In the case of muslims it’s worse. They have to choose between believing what the qur’an says about Jews (not much good) or the Jew (mobius, someone else) who is talking to them trying to prove Jews aren’t that bad.
And since the qur’an is “the literal word of allah” guess what they are going to choose. Trust me, I was in the same mentality once. I know exactly how they think. If you want to make a dent start by proving that the qur’an is not a divinely inspired scripture. Without that opening nobody will believe anything else you’re saying.
Mobius: “i already live in israel fool ”
Good, let’s hope some spirituality robs off and we hear some less cursing. You even got me started writing obscenely.
It would be easier for Mobius’s message to be received if it weren’t a) framed as using the larger soapbox of Jewschool to respond to an ignorant poster on his personal blog and b) so full of obscenity. The fact that this poster wrote what he did, combined with the other information Mobius presents, is infuriating and terrifying, and we need to be informed about it. There’s important content here, shocking really, but it can be lost on the reader when surrounded by personal vendetta. After all, Canada at least actually has legal gay marriage and universal health care. Let’s do some more shmirat lashon here.
As I show on This is Babylon , this is so not about Israel or Zionists in Nasrallah’s mind. He is solely fixated on the eradication of Jews.
Good, let’s hope some spirituality robs off and we hear some less cursing. You even got me started writing obscenely.
Did he get you writing sanctimoniously, too? Or is that one just yours?
What’s up with the shemirat halashon brigade! Itr seems like the Lakewood Yeshivah has infiltrated Jewschool!
Face it these terrorists want to fuckin kill you – geez, maybe we should contact the terrorists and tell them not to speak lashon-hara. Surely they will all put down their katyushas, shmear some chummus on the inside of some fresh pita and sing kumba-fucking-ya!!
These people (Extreme Islam) want us dead and will do anything, even strap bombs on their babies, to achieve allah and his 72 virgins.
Therefore we have to kill them. (And if need be speak lashon hara about them too)
hatred is relative. if you were born in israel, you distrust your arab neighbors. if you grow up in iran, you distrust israel. if you grow up in pakistan you distrust india. if you grow up in tibet, you distrust china.
the point is this: these societal structures were in existence long befor you or I, but we the unthinking people accept them and even beleive them.
have you ever seen arab children playing with jewish children playing with spanish children playing with american children?
I have and its beautiful
give every family a home, a way to buy food, a place to educate their children
the world’s distrust and hatred is caused by uneven distribution of resources, even water is in short supply in some areas.
the superpowers of this world remain superpowers by keeping other nations non-superpowers. well, that’s not fair, is it? when the superpowers kill people, it is “fighting for freedom”, when non-superpowers kill people, it is “terrorism, and fighting civilization”
WAKE UP PEOPLE
WAKE UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE CALLED MODERN SOCIETY
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU
