Before you click play I just have to apologize for banging on the table. I had a day.
You all decided to put Israel on trial for defending herself. Let me be clear: there was a ceasefire, and it broke on October 7th.
Tonight, I’m writing something of an open address to the people in my life who won’t accept it when I warn them that they’ve exposed themselves as Jew haters.
This entire day has made me feel ill, as we are now in peak demonization of Israel mode worldwide, and peak diminishing and infantilizing of both Jewish and Palestinian voices. As a result I have been spoken to since first thing this morning with unreal condemnation by non-Jewish ignoramuses who all display a truly impressive superiority complex and refuse to accept that they're antisemitic, even though that is precisely what they are.
To all of you: I'm sure you will all get what you want. You’ll get ceasefires, and more Jews beaten up in the street, and intifada style attacks in Western countries like America and the UK, where any concert, shopping mall, or means of public transport will soon be an open target for terror. And while that all happens, we Jews will prevail despite you. And you will finally understand what it actually is to be in a war. Because you will be in a war with the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Omid Djalili said yesterday: Hamas is just the snake. The IRI is the snake charmer. (The IRI by the way are chairing the UN Human Rights “SOCIAL FORUM” in Geneva this Friday - that’s the real United Nations).
I charge you all with antisemitic privilege. Antisemitic privilege is defined thus: Sitting at home thousands of miles away with a cushy life and an iPhone, desperately waiting to tweet inflammatory superficial nonsense about Israel's war crimes because you've got nothing better to do than blame Jews for the things we never did to you, and whether knowingly or not you are playing straight into the hands of the snake charmer. This is war. War is ugly and awful, but it's a war that is necessary to protect Jewish survival from a group that are so dedicated to destroying Jewish life on Earth they've designed an entire strip of land as a commands center for carrying out what the Nazis started. The people affected are asking you to stop tweeting your harmful moronic bullshit and to go back to watching Love Island. Please.
Here is Hamas official Ghazi Hamad. I believe he is discussing a commitment to war crimes that may have concerned you if it was Benjamin Netanyahu talking and not Hamas:
As I pointed out yesterday, you are utterly OBSESSED with us. To a point of mental rot. I am surprised you can get anything done in your lives, such is your addiction to this current news cycle. All of you would have gotten on just fine at the Wannsee Conference in 1942, coming up with ideas of how, when and where the “final solution” should take place. That’s what you’re doing after all. Solving the problem of us.
It is spectacular how lacking in self-awareness you useful idiots are. Telling Jews what is and is not antisemitism. Can you imagine yourself telling any other marginalized community about their own prejudice? Never. You do it to Jews because you believe you're punching up – which, again – antisemitism. Jewish people are not seen by you at al – we are whatever idea you want to impose upon us at whatever moment in time, ranging from rats in the sewer to the hook-nosed puppet masters controlling the globe. Believe it or not today a Twitter account double my size, belonging to a Frances Coppola (no relation to the film director), accused me of bullying them as they quoted me, and sent their army of followers to pile-on the Jew. She was a she, and white, and not Jewish, and insufferably progressive. Which, as previously noted, seems to be one of the major demographics here by and large. Who hurt you all? We know that it wasn’t Israel.
You either lie about your known inherent bias or you are so lost you don't even understand the root of your fascination. But I ask you: does it piss you off when a Jew fights back tooth and nail? Oh don’t lie, now. We can smell it.
Here’s one of your main issues. None of you, and I mean absolutely not a single curious one, are asking the right questions. Because you don’t think. You just parrot. Let’s take the refugee camp that was reportedly raised to the ground yesterday as an example.
If you talk about "refugee camps", I want you to think critically and seriously. Why are there "refugee camps" in Gaza? Israel pulled out in 2005. It is controlled by Arab leadership, and that leadership is extremely well-funded. So pray why? Why are there refugee camps? Is Gaza Palestinian land? If it is then the people who live there, generations removed from any war, are not refugees.
The Palestinians are the only group of displaced people in the world that continue to define themselves as refugees, despite an entire prior century of empires falling and new states emerging, displacing millions of people of all faiths and nationalities. In “The War of Return” by Dr Einat Wilf, the argument is successfully built that the Palestinians are the only endless refugees in an endless war they insist on pursuing despite already losing - for seven long decades. Instead of pursuing their own state in the territories they already have, they continue to wage war on Israel post-1948. As Lebanese American pundit Brigitte Gabriel argues, the Palestinians had so much money post 2005 after Israel pulled out of Gaza that they could have made their own version of “Singapore”, but instead hemorrhaged all the wealth into building an unsustainable city atop an underground terrorism bunker. What the Palestinians have refused to do is accept the terrain. They have insisted on being refugees and victims, where virtually every other displaced group in the 20th century have moved on.
This push notification was sent from CNN to my phone yesterday, and I read it and had so many questions:
1/ Who has 42 relatives?
2/ How did the Gazans determine this death toll specific to this family in less than a day?
3/ If these relatives have Palestinian American family then why didn’t they leave when they were given an evacuation notice three weeks ago?
4/ Why is this reported without a second thought when the atrocities of October 7th are now ancient history to a media who never took them seriously to begin with?
Look, I really have tried to get into the minds of you all. The minds of the antisemites. I have tried to appeal to your last-remaining normally functioning braincells. But you don’t want me to, because you are that blinded by a bloodlust and disgust for me and my people.
You call yourselves pacifists but you don’t care about the meat of the sandwich; only the slice of Israel and the slice of “Palestine”, which you view as the two sides you have to give equal meaningless virtue signals to. It means nothing because the meat is Hamas. And you don't care about this war’s effects on Gazan civilians, otherwise you’d be asking more questions about Egypt’s refusal to accommodate them, and you’d be outraged by the rest of the Arab world’s failure to follow suit. You only care about the legalities of the war, so you can make a criminal out of the Jewish state. Your fake pacifism is actually going to get more of us killed than you could imagine. There are 15.7million Jews in the world. 7.2million of us live in Israel. Next door to Hamas. Israel is us. We are Israel. Zionism is our right to live. It’s really that simple.
If this was pre-World War II, you’re all Neville Chamberlain calling “peace for our time”. How did that work out for him? You play both sides from the comfort of your sheer distance from reality, and your lack of personal existential experience of war and threat. You are a generation or two removed from any of it. And you spend your downtime patronizing and speaking over those who aren’t removed, while discussing our own history and challenges for us.
There are only two sides here: Israel and Hamas. And it’s very clear which side you are on. As for the “Jewish friends” etc that you hide behind, they are weak-knee'd Jews, not the lions of Judea. You choose the Jews who have bent to your worldview because you prefer us to be weak, and malleable to your own selfish interests and your own moral utopian vision; one that is fundamentally flawed for excluding Jewish survivorship.
Would you care to explain this scene outside Canter’s Deli this morning? Canter’s is the oldest Jewish deli in Los Angeles. It was found like this today. KristalLAnacht. Would you call this a justified response to war crimes that Israel has and never will commit? What does this read like to you? Take a good hard look. You are creating this. This is you.
Anyway, I needed to get that off my chest. Since you’re all so obsessed with the idea, may I suggest you “decolonize” your minds? Something bad has settled there.
That kills me at Cantors and all over Paris. Stars of David on Jewish owned homes and Businesses. I will not go quietly. I saw a few awful things today. Biden admin calling for a ceasefire. That will never happen. Also saw that Greenwald had Roger Waters on his show. Man is he a piece of shit. Both of them. It is disgusting. Also police in England taking down kidnapped kids signs so they do t have to deal with the mob. What a bunch of absolute pussies.
As always God Bless you EB you fucking rock. Don’t stop.
I wish we could just put you on blast everywhere! You are amazing! Correct, clear, and so direct. I can’t bear to watch the news, read the media or comments as the ignorance and hatred sears my soul. The death of the innocents is so painful but in truth, after 10/7 no real numbers will ever be told by the media. I wish all Jewish trustees of universities where antisemitism has run rampant would pull their support. Immediately. Lush has a sign outside to boycott Jewish businesses. Fight economic fire with fire. No more going quietly. No more cowering. The IDF doesn’t run. We can’t either.
