Many years ago I got a creepy vibe when I read his stuff and especially when he spoke his stuff. He personified self righteous sanctimony. So I skipped him and he dropped from my algorithm. Now that I'm reading about this horror fantasy of his, for once I appreciate algorithms.
The report also bf with education about the Holocaust should be required reading in all high schools and colleges. But somehow, cynic that I am I feel that the current tide of Jew hate will see none of that. Tonight a candidate for a local election touted his creds by announcing he was pro choice, pro jobs and anti the genocide in Gaza. A local election! The moron needs to focus on local schools, crime and clean streets but he had to take a shot at Jews. How can we expect ppl to read a report about Jews and suddenly change their misguided viewpoints when they can’t even separate a local election from an international tragedy? Ppl are sheep. They follow a crowd. What is popular. Jew hate gets the most press and the best parades. Israel has lost the PR war and it’s beginning to show violently in the streets and unfortunately it may soon financially in Congress. PR seems so unimportant until cars are driving into Jewish businesses, Jew are being attacked on the streets, and Jews are living in fear. That report shows what happens when Israel gets cocky and lets her guard down. It’s a new world. Time for a war on all fronts and it includes a new image so Jews in Israel and the diaspora are safe. That report is just the beginning. We need to show our value, our joy and our strength. No more quivering knees.
Thank you, Eve. Smashing as always. What amazes me is how durable the Middle Ages have been. Regarding the blood libel. Or perhaps we have entered a new Dark Ages period, however glittery apparent progress seems. I never enjoyed Kristoff's writing, but I respected him. Not anymore.
The report is now out there, but how can we shove it in the faces of cowardly deniers?
It will be red only by us, who already new the truth...
It needs to be studied in schools and colleges around the world, then may be, slowly, the tide will turn our way.
There are a few grass roots organizations fighting Antisemitism within young generation, one of them being Club-Z, www.clubz.org, led by Masha Merkulova. They need our help.
Eve, I’m so proud of you. I want to fling this piece in the faces of the smug little group of flag wavers that stands on our main street every Saturday. I’m so glad I found you and Ben and Neil and a few other CL heroes because you are all doing amazing work.
Though the referred-to content of this report is horrific, Eve, I could not imagine any one else presenting this story as effectively, movingly and authentically as you. Thank you.
The really sad thing is that no one will believe it. The proof doesn't even matter, no matter how irrefutable it is. The world hates us, and as such, it will (all at the same time) deny what happened on October 7th, accuse Israel of doing far worse, complain that Hamas didn't go far enough, and that whatever it did was justified.
“Only those who want to genocide Jews again could ever muster the psychosis of framing Israel - the Jewish nation – as guilty of a genocide.” 1000%
I propose every holocaust museum across the globe includes October 7.
I've finally cancelled my NYT subscription and told them to fire Kristof.
Ditto
lol my wife did as well - she knew Kristof when they were at undergrad together - repo baby all the way.....

Eve - you are very brave and I hope we all can draw strength from you and your work and fight this evil.
I can't imagine compiling that information but sadly it had to be done. Even if it changes one person's opinion that's something.
Even if the Times retracts it doesn’t matter. Like that photo of the “starving kid.” The lies travel too fast now.
The report makes me physically sick.
Well Mr Kristof. We know that you were timing your blood libel. You should rot in hell along with Joe Kahn.
It may not change anyone’s opinion, but it may permit Israel to finish the job unshackled when that need inevitably returns!
I offer a hug, through tears, to any sister here who wants or needs it.

Incredibly important work which will change no one's opinion. Unfortunately.
All we can do is continue shouting from rooftops.
Good article, Eve, as usual.

Let's fight!

So demoralizing that 2 of the 4 name-checked deniers are fellow Australians 😕
Agreed. I started writing a submission to the Royal Commission today. Hoping that every voice helps make a difference.
