"You must be an anti-semite"
If you think free speech is a really good thing
If you fear the future that censorship may bring
If you think Mark Zuckerberg is a pawn of the CIA
If you don’t believe whatever the western leaders say
If you march and chant “from the river to the sea”
If you say you’ll keep fighting until Palestine is free
There’s just one explanation, right there in black and white
You must be an antisemite, you must be an antisemite
These lyrics to a song by the brilliant David Rovics, from his new album Notes from a Holocaust, really put their finger on the way that a certain term has been instrumentalised to the point of utter absurdity in the interests of silencing dissent.
Over the last few months we have all got used to hearing that it is "anti-semitic" to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, that being anti-Zionist is the same thing as being "anti-semitic", that "false equivalence" between murders of Jews and by Jews risks "anti-semitic effect".
David Rovics is Jewish and, while that doesn't stop him from being accused of being "anti-semitic", it does at least help him to see through the fraudulent nature of the insult.
As reported previously, the smear has for many years been wielded as a weapon to stifle criticism not just of Israel, but of the global criminocracy in general.
And it's about time that we all took a leaf out of the Rovics songbook and, while remaining alert to the toxic threat of actual anti-semitism and other prejudiced attitudes, called out this blatant gaslighting.
Is it really "anti-semitic" to write a booklet exploring the power and activities of the Rothschilds, while carefully stressing that this is being done despite rather than because of their Jewish identity?
Is it really "anti-semitic" to write about the enormous influence wielded by globalist financier George Soros, given that he is Jewish?
Is it really "anti-semitic" to criticise the financial excesses of Goldman Sachs in the light of the fact that it is "a Jewish firm founded by Jews"?
Is it really "anti-semitic" to continue to investigate the "transgender" industry, even when several prominent funders turn out to be Jewish?
Is it really "anti-semitic" to write and stage "a morality tale about modern capitalism, a story of greed and financial trickery that left countless ordinary people impoverished or homeless" if the central characters, the Lehman Brothers, are Jewish?
Is it really "anti-semitic" to paint a mural declaring that "The New World Order is the enemy of humanity", in which some of the depicted criminocrats are Jewish - and is it really "anti-semitic" to defend that mural from attack?
Is it "anti-semitic" to suggest that if the definition of what is "anti-semitic" is expanded way beyond most people's understanding of the term, it is hardly surprising that a "rise in anti-semitism" can subsequently be identified and further instrumentalised?
Is it "anti-semitic" to point out that the victims of this instrumentalisation will not only be the non-Jews whose honest opinions will be criminalised and silenced, but the Jews who will be frightened into clinging to the gaslighters for protection against a majority outside world that they have been tricked into imagining is opposed to them as individuals and communities, rather than to the global mafia that oppresses and manipulates Jews and non-Jews alike?
This piece is part of the latest Acorn bulletin on the Winter Oak site.
Timely.
That's a fine list of rhetorical questions.
I remember telling a friend many years ago about something relating to the terrorist ethno-state known as Israel. At some point I used the term "Zio-Nazi". At the time, my friend scoffed at the term, thinking it something of an oxymoron. After all, how could a Jew be a Nazi?
Of course, the last few months are sure to have rendered such scoffing obsolete to anyone who has been paying attention to the openly genocidal actions of the Zionists commanding the Israeli ship of state.
BTW, the best critics of the current slaughter in Gaza are Jews (obviously "self-hating Jews" /sarc) : Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate. Max and Aaron, via "The Grayzone live", have been doing stellar/must-watch journalism, exposing the relentless lies/propaganda of team Genocide.
Similarly, Vera Sharav, a Holocaust survivor was quick to see the paralells between the bio-fascism of the Nazis and the current globalist-eugenicist plandemiciders.
I was given at birth the label 'Jewish'. The ADL (which is nothing other than 'Bnei Brit', a right-wing religious zionist group funded by ultra-wealthy zionist supremscists) now counts as an 'antisemitic incident' even vigils held by Jews calling on the Israeli ruling class to stop the mass murder, abuse and starvation of childen women and men. And then they say there is a huge rise in antisemitism... anything that doesn't align with their ethnocentric exclucivist supremacist sectarian ideology is now an 'antisemitic incident'
(Not to mention the bnei brit ultra-zionist man who was caught painting swastikas all over town, in what was described as 'antisemitism crisis'. Or the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the ultra-fascist Kach group (the zionist KKK) who was revealed to be the one who organized (under a pseudo name) a neo-nazi march against Jews!!!
The reason they do this, to keep Jews in a constant state of threat and fear (and divided from the rest of humanity) is described quite well here https://www.pdrboston.org/oppressors-need-bogeyman-enemies and here https://www.pdrboston.org/israeli-leaders-hamas-need-each-oth
