Today I wrote something on social media in a furious haze that basically said, stop being such fucking antisemitic assholes and I listed all the things that people should not do, like telling Jews they don’t know what antisemitism is, and that they’re not allowed to feel offended when people scream in their faces and all, but it was longer and somewhat more grammatical and more sarcastic with more fucks. A friend of mine reposted it. And within five minutes someone commented on the post and literally did every single thing I had just listed as antisemitic, ending by telling me that being anti-Israel isn’t antisemitic.

I felt my brain fold in on itself and limited myself to a short thank you for proving all of my points in a row.

Anyway. That is all to say, now my brain feels better since I just read this piece. Thank you.

Since its inception, the IDF has been the only thing standing between the Jews of Israel and the successful implementation of the explicit and repeatedly-attempted goal of the Islamic supremacist death cult (whether next door, like Hamas or farther afield, like Iran) to annihilate them. The equation could not be more plain: No IDF = No Jews. To scream “Death death to the IDF” is to call for the slaughter of Jews. To tolerate such calls is to acquiesce.

The Glastonbury lemmings are no different than those Iranian women CNN featured the other day. As part of a regular ceremony, thousands of mothers raise their infants above their heads to signify eagerness to offer the children to die as “martyrs” in service of that same cause, chanting “Death to America! Death to Israel!”
