Alternatives to psychotic? Fact-averse. Obtuse. Unhinged (from reality). Purblind. Solipsistic. Mental (UK). Pseudophilic (GK). Just a few choices without resorting to the thesaurus.
None are quite the same, but they put some more bullets in your holster.
I don't really like Foucault, but I have remembered one passage of "Madness and Civilization" since college. It's wrong, he said, to think that madmen are irrational. Rather, madmen can make perfectly logical deductions from insane premises. For example, he said, a man who departs from the insane premise that he is made out of glass will take rigorously logical steps to avoid crashing into hard objects that will shatter him to shards.
One academic and cleric from Al Azhar University in Cairo once wrote a rant that said: 1) the Holocaust never happened; 2) the Holocaust was a plot by the Jews to take over Palestine; and 3) the only problem with the Holocaust is that Hitler didn't finish the job. Three incompatible thoughts in the same essay.
The only logic in this psychosis is "I hate the Jews." And that is all the narrative requires.
How about delusional? I like Michal Cottler- Wunsch’s description of antisemitism as a shape shifting virus that mutates to fit the social issue/ scourge/ catastrophe of the moment.
Eve, very few of these people who support palestinianism will refer to the captives as prisoners of war. I've never seen one post in which they refer to them at all. But if you do see it PLEASE agree with them! The captives are not hostages held by kidnappers. They ARE POWS in a war that started 100 years ago. If Israel's supporters would understand this that they would STOP posting the pathetic refrain on social media to "bring them home" and at a least post "release the captives or else". I prefer to post "Destroy hamas then the captives will be free" Israel must win this war with total victory! Delete obliterate annihilate Hamas!
While it’s initially painful to have such “friends” self-deport from your circle, you will be grateful. Such people are not deserving of your time, energy and loyalty. Difficult times are when you find out who you can really count on. Celebrate all those who have shown up to support you during this horrific time, new and old—these are the real friends. Those who abandon you are actually giving you a gift, even though it stings.
Eve, when I read your blog, sometimes i think of this old joke;
A Jewish man in 1930s Germany is sitting in a café, reading Der Stürmer, the virulently antisemitic Nazi propaganda newspaper. A friend notices this and is horrified.
“Why are you reading that garbage?” the friend asks. “It’s full of lies about us, portraying Jews as evil, scheming, and dangerous!”
The man shrugs and replies, “When I read the Forward, it’s all bad news—pogroms, persecution, suffering. But when I read Der Stürmer, it’s uplifting! According to them, we control the banks, the media, the government, and the entire world. It’s nice to feel powerful for once!”
We should thank the Pro-Palestinians who tell us how powerful we are! (and le plus ça change…)
“Let this show you who these people are. They’re narcissistic liars and they are suffering from a psychotic, hateful, mental derangement that no amount of re-education can resolve, because THEY DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO THE FACTS. You can present them with a mountain of evidence. You can take them to the Museum of Tolerance. You can show them a Holocaust survivor in the flesh. They will tell you it’s a Jewish Jedi mind trick and a lie, and they will not listen. Their minds have been corrupted by propaganda. And we know that the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to take an opportunity and this is the latest one. Antisemitism is a mental illness that rots the mind and it has hijacked a generation via TikTok and other social and mainstream media. The need to make this about Jews is completely demented. “. It is literally a new virulent strain of mental illness…. And it has infected not only a generation of “educated” whackadoodles, but their woke psychotherapists, too. Keep injecting the antibiotics and disinfectants.. the fight must continue..
It is inconceivable to me that one could attribute the Los Angeles fire disaster to Jews! However, as you point out, it is not only possible, but a fact. True insanity!
To your point, there is nothing that the Israel/Jew-haters won't relate to Gaza/Palestinians. NOTHING. It's as predictable as it is infuriating/depressing.
What is happening around the world, this blatant anti-Semitism, shakes me to the core. It is inconceivable to me how adults, supposedly educated people, can think such things, let alone say them. The fact that they do, frightens me deeply. Take care, Eve, and thank you ❤️
Think of the brain as a sponge. A sponge has no consciousness, no moral imperative. So it should be easy to understand how humans are so easily brainwashed. You should not be shocked when humans believe madness and act out on their madness because their sponge brain soaks it up! Be shocked more people do NOT have brains soaked in madness knowing how well sponges work. You see these so called people supporting madness? People believing you can change your gender by saying so. People who believe you have a race that determines your inferiority or superiority? People who believe their religion is better than yours and will kill you or suppress you if you don't convert or agree to be subjugate to them (i.e. islamists in Gaza and the west bank). You may think they are people I just see sponges.
Let’s see…Judaism has a history with a burning bush, therefore every bush that burns must be connected to, and the fault of, Jews. Makes all the sense in the world.
Keep pointing out the hypocrisy, Eve. They may never change but we need to see it.
Passive income. A way celebrity managers got actors "work" during the pandemic with alcohol brands, they all signed on and became the face of brands.. without working.. now celebrity types attach themselves to supporting the so called oppressed gazans and they gain supporters to keep themselves relevant which equates to another form of Passive income.. a woken essential test... I won't see anything from Jamie,or others because of her comments about Gaza. Choose not to watch their movies, I will not support people, especially not our own, who harm us. We must stand up for ourselves and others. She needs a trip to the kibbutzim that were attacked.. I wish we could take off a week and not show up to work for 5 days..to our jobs .. like blm got people to do ..We are only 0.2% of the population.. so 'we could feel our power.. I know we are extremely valuable and GOOD people. Am Yisrael Chai.
Maybe blm took off 1 day, but they exerted their power.. women march excluded "Zionists" dyke march didn't allow Jewish or Zionist groups to march. Very hostile times. We need to flex Zionist power.
Wondering if you are aware if anyone is tracking the anti-semitism on social media anywhere, making a list of the accounts posting the worst stuff, or liking it? Would be a long list by now and I would like to see it.

The hatred goes on and on! Why is everything our fault? Take care Eve. Xxx

It's also obsessive...

Name and shame your ex-friend. Screenshot the text.

Tragic Awakening is a brilliant documentary that does a good job of explaining antisemitism. https://raphaelshore.com/
