Stop Antisemitism

MUNICH – Austria needs to emulate how Germany has learned from its history during the Holocaust and how it combats antisemitism, according to Wolfgang Sobotka, president of the National Council of Austria, the lower house of parliament.


“We have a lot to learn from the Germans when it comes to owning our history and taking action,” he said Monday in an interview on the sidelines of the Conference of European Rabbis convention in Munich.


“We always perceived ourselves as the victims of the Nazi regime until the election in 1986, when Kurt Waldheim was elected” president of Austria. “There was an act of changing of minds with the Austrian population: that we are not only the victims but actually also perpetrators.”

A Melbourne school principal has been accused of giving speeches endorsing Nazis, calling Jewish people subhuman and failing to protect his students from racial discrimination.

Five former Brighton Secondary College students are suing the school, alleging they were subjected to years of antisemitic bullying, discrimination and negligence.

Defence barrister Chris Young has said the school, the state of Victoria and the other respondents denied all of the allegations.

The students, who include Joel Kaplan and Liam Arnold-Levy, along with three minors, allege they experienced physical and verbal bullying by students and teachers between 2013 and 2020.

The principal, Richard Minack, and two teachers Paul Varney and Demi Flessa are also named in the suit.


The school was “littered” with swastika graffiti, drawn on students hands and desks, the students’ barrister Adam Butt told the federal court on Wednesday. Students were subjected to Nazi salutes, he said.

On Tuesday, in Egypt, The Karama Party organized a symposium on the topic "The Roots of Violence Among the Jews," about a book with that name, with the author Dr. Saher Rafea.

It turns out the book was written in 2008. Here's its blurb:

The importance of the Torah, the Talmud, and the sayings of the rabbis in shaping the Jews' mindsets and cultural identities lies in the absence of geography for the Jewish community on which history is built and fabricated. Thus, what is left under their hands to fabricate and make their own history they can, through its events and tales, to shape the Jewish mind, are the written religious texts and its rabbinical explanations. Therefore reading the book directly and also reading between the lines should drive us to change our policies against the other / Jews so that we can achieve what we set for under the light of an explicit religious text which calls for the necessity of killing and extermination of the other - meaning Arabs, Muslims and Christians, all foreigners in their homes and their livestock: Total elimination of the other, physically and spiritually.
Yes, Jews are violent because that is what they are taught in the Torah and Talmud.

In case you cannot quite grasp the antisemitism, here is the cover:




 
An image of Israel Defense Forces soldiers drinking blood was shared on Instagram by anti-Zionist NGO Jewish Voice for Peace last Thursday, leading to accusations by Jewish social media users that the NGO engaged in the classic antisemitic narrative of the "blood libel."


Israeli soldiers drinking blood​

The picture, entitled "Independence Day," depicts celebration of Israel's independence day by Israeli soldiers, who raise their blood-filled glasses in toast. The appendage of a construction vehicle holds up a string of blue and white decorations, which is being cut by a Palestinian boy with scissors. The ground is soaked in blood and strewn with the bodies of Palestinians and uprooted trees.


 


Yes, this is a literal blood libel, accusing Jews of drinking Palestinian blood.

It doesn't get more antisemitic than this.

Actually, maybe it does. At least one of the corpses wears a striped uniform that evokes Holocaust victims.

The Jews in the cartoon aren't just killing Palestinians for no reason - they are celebrating murdering people to steal their land.

Many of the comments to the ADL tweet double down on the antisemitism, or say that the ADL is distracting from supposed Israeli crimes. One even claims the blood libel was true.

When "anti-Zionists" excuse antisemitism, it tells you all you need to know about "anti-Zionists."


 
two Palestinians go dogging at the Royal Court is set in the year 2043 in the fictional Judea/Samaria Arab village of Beit-al-Qadir. Thanks to a transparently ludicrous fiction ………..

…… presumably so the author can include cheap shots, Benjamin Netanyahu is still the Prime Minister of Israel.

Sara Yadin a female IDF soldier is killed and a young Arab woman Salwa is killed in reprisal. The Fifth Intifada breaks out. For more detail see here and here.

After the antisemitic play ‘Seven Jewish Children’ and the ‘Hershel Fink’ antisemitic debacle in 2021 you’d think the Royal Court management would be more careful about showing an Israel Hatefest.

No chance.

Iranian news organization IranWire published an eye-popping deep dive analysis into more than 1,000 articles on an antisemitic website with the misleading name “Jewish Studies Center” that is backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.


Australian Islamic studies academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert, who was held hostage by Iran’s regime from 2018-2020, tweeted on Thursday about the IranWire exposé: “An important and frightening window into the horrific antisemitism promoted by the regime in Iran.
