At the time that I wrote that, I had no idea about the raid on the ‘State of Israel’ until evening, when a friend on the telephone told me about the incident. At the time, I naïvely believed that the worst that was likely to happen was the IOF bombarding Palestine for a few days as retaliation. As we all know, the full aftermath was even worse than that, to put it mildly.

Yet it is having this context in mind that this otherwise mundane thread feels so much differently than it could have: there I was, talking about the differences between two Torot with an almost youthful fascination, blissfully unaware of what was going on in the Levant and the atrocities that would plague the region for two years. I almost envy the simplicity that our lives had back then. I could easily talk about the mildly interesting features in Judaism or Jewish cultures without feeling like I was neglecting anybody.

Tell me about your shirt.

I mean, it’s true. Palestinian lives matter, which is something that I think that most Israelis…. don’t believe. I mean, they might—they might say it but the way that they behave and the way that they handle themselves and their politics, and… the way that they speak does not reflect that kind of… truth, I think.

It is refreshing to see a glimmer of rationality left in the neocolony, though I suspect that he is somewhat new and the establishment has not had enough time to pollute his brain. Either way, I think that history is going to remember people like him, partly because they were on the right side, but also partly because listing them would be so much easier than listing all of the individuals complacent with regards to this extermination.

Grammar Nazi

Please don’t.

I am sure that most of the bipeds who find this shirt offensive are White supremacists, but to be honest I can see somebody disliking it solely for its violent content; some people are so squeamish that even seeing oppressors dying can activate a visceral reaction.

I know that hangings are relatively mundane, but try to imagine somebody applying sharp objects to an SS trooper’s particularly sensitive areas and maybe you’ll understand.

• extremism on race,
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

Whoooah, can’t have it both ways there, little buddy!

That message is what inspired me to share this.

A few weeks ago when I attended an antisemitism class, I teasingly asked the rabbinic lecturer, ‘If you control Hollywood, how did The Passion of the Christ become so popular?’ The audience chuckled. If ‘the Jews’ controlled the mainstream media, then The Grey Zone would have been a smashing success at the box office, but with precious few exceptions, Shoah films tend to have unremarkable results on the market:

Holocaust films generally lack commercial success. Indeed, approximately 440 features have grossed more than Schindler’s List and Inglourious Basterds (2009), the ­highest-grossing Holocaust films in history; in contrast, Crocodile Dundee (1986) and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015) have outgrossed those Holocaust film icons. The Pianist (2002) does not even approach the ­all-time top thousand grossing films.

Likewise, if ‘the Jews’ were controlling mainstream education, then they’d waste little time telling us about the Polish–Cossack Wars and the 1917–1923 pogroms (the proto-Shoah), but I asked several Jewish adults whom Symon Petliura was and they hadn’t a clue. To be honest, I would be unsurprised if Jewish communities themselves had no more than the vaguest familiarity with either of those eras—as counterintuitive as that may sound.

As far as I can tell, the way that mainstream education exposes us to Judaism and Jewish history is not particularly impressive. Aside from our cluelessness regarding nearly all of the observances, some of us seriously still think that Jews have horns on their heads, ingest blood, and never have to worry about money, which is only a tiny sample of the evidence that the education system has failed us.

You can invite him to learn about Judaism through Jewish sources like Judaism for Dummies, but I guess that he can dismiss those out of hand for being ‘biased’. If he goes to that extreme then there is nothing stopping us from assuming that he’s really a super secret Mossad agent pretending to be an antisemite to keep us off of his trail.

Anticommunists suppressing something favourable to the People’s Republic of China? Oh, the irony…

Millions of West German children were sent to brutal "spa" homes between the 1950s and 1980s that left them traumatized, a new report alleges. Many of the homes were run by former [Fascists].

The repetitive accusation that we enjoy killing each other feels like an updated version of the legend that precolonial Caribbeans were constantly eating each other.

The best explanation that I can propose is that they simply had not yet heard the news that Benito Mussolini was the official head of the Salò régime.

That is certainly easy to understand from the perspectives of the Soviet Union, the Mongolian People’s Republic, and all of the socialist paramilitaries (including the CPC). Unfortunately, the Western Allies did not fight the Axis in order to defeat Fascism, hence why nobody invaded Iberia’s parafascist empires.

I used to think that World War I was boring because I could not sympathize with any of the sides. However, after I watched videos of The Entente Gold, and more importantly, after I learnt about the Meds Yeghern, I finally started taking WWI seriously. WWI was not just another silly game of empires competing for resources: it involved ordinary people, like us, struggling against their oppressors. That being said, calling this the ‘World Anti-Imperialist War’ would be too misleading, much like referring to its sequel as the ‘World Anti-Fascist War’ is, even though I could understand how somebody else would arrive at those conclusions.
