I know we’re relatively short on positive things right now but I found the silver lining in all this. The truth is - we’re way smarter than them. If you’re a Zionist, congratulations. You are a person in the world with a superior IQ. You don’t find things “complicated” or “nuanced”. Actually, you find them incredibly clear. You have realized that - when armed with facts - the important points come to the surface, and the emotional tugs, albeit real, don’t muddle the terrain of knowledge. And while it’s emotionally intense, there’s a security in the absolute certain paranoia that this is a very bad situation that we have to come out on top of.
When it all comes down to it, we really do just get it more than they do. They’re asleep at the wheel, and we are driving Darwin’s theory of evolution forward, apparently against their wishes. I started exploring the depths of stupidity among the discourse by engaging with the luminary commentators of “the left” online last night while I was struggling to sleep. I was having a whole night of jump-starting every time a creak sounded in the floor. So to occupy my mind I decided to start a scrap with Owen Jones.
American audiences may not be so familiar with this guy. Jones is a Northern kid of working class parents who got an Oxford education and still dedicates his life to fighting for the rights of ordinary people. He’s obsessed with Israel/Palestine, like all antisemites are. Probably couldn’t give a rat’s arse about - say - Syrian civil war. But as soon as it’s Jews who may be killing Muslims, then Jones is straight in for the kill, on every single news station.
Earlier today Jones posted this LiveJournal on why he as an LGBTQ+ man is standing with Gaza:
Thoughts and prayers to anyone who engages with clever clogs Jones on Direct Message. Alas I decided to have a pop at challenging his response. I said:
I'm not opposed to Hamas because I'm LGBTQ either. I'm opposed to Hamas because they're terrorists, and neither the people of Gaza nor the people of Israel are safe until the threat of Hamas is gone. Which is something Israel and only Israel can eliminate. What does "Stand with Gaza" even mean? Let Gaza be victim to Hamas? Allow a ceasefire with Israel while 199 hostages remain inside, and the permanent threat of another October 7th looms large, as Hamas's military operations remain in Gaza? Where's the moral honesty? Owen Jones has blocked the vast majority of Jewish people who have challenged his dishonest views about Israel for years. Owen Jones does not care about Palestinians. He uses their plight to further his political agenda against Israel, because of his own antisemitic bias.
About an hour after this, Jones appeared on the news:
I shared this video, and I recommend you re-watch it with the sound off as an experiment. I said: “With the sound off, even the body language tells you everything you need to know. This is a blood-sport for a privileged white man who wants to see the nasty Jews meet their ultimate end.” Jones got very upset obviously:
It’s true. Jones is very concerned about the loss of any more innocent civilian life. But he did not once mention the 199 Israeli hostages. (Or the ever present continued threat to anyone living in Israel right now).
“Do you not have anyone in your life to stage an intervention?” he asked. Damn. Does anyone know an exorcist? We need to get the Devil outta me.
Anyway, Jones who is apparently as misogynistic as he is antisemitic really got me going, and I decided to go on a war against the righteous woke white men in the wee hours of the night. So here’s Mark Ruffalo, the most stalwart boycott-er of Israel when he’s not doing deep thespian work playing, uh, The Hulk. Whenever it comes to the Palestinians, Mark is always very angry, and you don’t wanna see Mark when he gets angry.
I wonder if Ruffalo saw Daniella Greenbaum’s viral tweet earlier this week. As she pointed out: Isn’t it funny that Gaza have run out of everything except rockets…
My spree against woke men continued tonight on Instagram, when a friend posted a heart colored as a Palestinian flag and made some offhand caption about how he doesn’t want his tax payer dollars going to kill Palestinian children. There were so many things I could have said, but again, I just stuck to the facts. I said, “Buddy, your boy Biden just gave $100m in aid to Gaza - for the kids. Yesterday.”
What a balegan. A balegan that is actively harming Jewish people in America, and all over the Diaspora.
Do you remember that scene in Independence Day at the top of the movie, when the alien space ship is about to dock in New York City, and a group of 20-something raver freaks in overalls and scarves and big perms climb to the top of the Empire State Building with handmade signs to WELCOME THE ALIENS to earth with harmony symbols and streamers, and then the spaceship opens up, a blue light descends, the freaks look up at it starstruck before the laser turns into a motherfucking fire hose and burns the entire city down, and then the world?
That is the level of brainwashing of dullard minds that we are seeing in real time here. It’s the Hamas effect.
For the past several years, I have dealt with the most deranged segment of the internet; online super fans of celebrities that rival QAnon and other extremist conspiracy theorists. I never thought I would meet more braindead, sick, or cowardly people. Until the past two weeks. Antizionists and those peddling a Free Palestine grift ignore all facts in favor of hate. In their delusion they believe that they're warriors of truth. They desperately seek some kind of tribal identity (despite having zero connection to the region at hand). Essentially, they're Palestine stans. They buy keffiyehs as merch. They believe anything printed in the media and online if it helps their diehard cause.
Even this:
These Palestine stans believed this was a genuine image. Do people watch Bride Of Chucky and think the dolls are actually real?! Is everyone’s brain melting?
And the worst offenders - the BBC - are the ultimate spin doctor that keeps pouring gasoline on these groups of agitators.
But it’s not just online that the melting brains are on display. Look at what happened yesterday as 300 “Jewish” people were arrested at the US Capitol in a demonstration led by congress women Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush (of the Hamas Caucus). A total of 10,000 of these useful idiots showed up inside and outside the Capitol. They wore t-shirts saying: Jews Say Ceasefire Now. I’ve never met any of these people. Do you know them? Did they come from Church? Why are they clapping, and chanting? In English? I thought the Writer’s Guild of America strike was over… couldn’t they have gotten some better fake Jews?
How was this display yesterday any less cultish and threatening to democracy than January 6? It’s the other side of the horseshoe, surely. Calling for a ceasefire and getting a bunch of people to cosplay as Jews (badly) at this hour is a threat to the entire West, not just Jews in Israel. A ceasefire means Hamas stays in Gaza, Hamas replenishes itself, Hamas makes even uglier plans to massacre more Jews. This Jew says ceasefire not right now thank you very much.
I don’t know about you but while I am exhausted from so much in the last two weeks, perhaps the loudness of the idiocy has wrung me out the most. The chorus of ignorant parrots who yap and squawk all day, furthering Hamas’s psychological warfare by infuriating us all, and sending us into a land of permanent migraines and nausea. We are tired of being abused by morons. Our institutions are infested with leftist conspiratorial antisemitism, aka antizionism, aka a rebranding of Nazi-level Jew hate. Antizionism subjugates and oppresses Jews, demanding that we accept a world without our sovereignty, without our rights, without our security, without our guaranteed survival. Without our sanity.
It is abuse. It has been our abuse for thousands of years. And any Jew who accepts it has Stockholm Syndrome. Here in the digital tower of Babel we are drowned out by the noise of flying monkeys. But I promise you that as loud as they are, you will feel a little better if you fight back. And remember you’re already smarter than they are. You’ve got this.
Thank you again! I am so weary of the pro Hamas chorus!! The ignorance of those around us astounds me. But perhaps (and I hope with all my heart) it is a case of empty heads making the biggest rattling sound, but those who hate Jews, Israel and all we are make the most noise! They get the most attention! Ceasefire?? Without returning hostages? Without stopping Hamas? It will only be a pause to allow Hamas to reload. We cannot afford that right now. I hate violence. I abhor war. Every casualty hurts. We cannot afford them. But we need to prevent further incursions and we owe it to our hostages to get them back. We owe it to ourselves and our future to protect Israel as a safe harbor.
You're indispensable. But get some sleep! Be indispensable again tomorrow.
