There's nothing that Israel won't do in the name of revenge and the relentless pursuit of Zionism. Let’s be crystal clear: when a state cloaks its brutality as self-defense, it's not safeguarding Jews—it's endangering us all by weaponizing our history. The narrative that tolerates anything less than Nazi-level atrocities betrays a warped understanding of “Never Again.” Instead of protecting lives, Israel’s actions, broadcast live and accepted by mainstream media, only perpetuate a cycle of violence and anti-Semitism. It's time to call out the hypocrisy and demand accountability, because the true path to safety isn’t found in state-sanctioned propaganda but in genuine justice and coexistence.
"I'm Jewish. I lost members of my family during the Holocaust, and the truth is, Israel does not represent me—Israel does not make me safer. In fact, it puts me and all Jews in greater danger. As Israel commits these crimes against humanity and live streams them—and in some cases, gleefully live streams them—we've seen soldiers doing this, Israel doing that, all while claiming it is done in the name of Jews: That is what will create anti-Semitism.
The idea that Israel represents all Jews is, in itself, an anti-Semitic idea. The dual loyalty trope says that all Jews are a monolith, that we're all loyal to Israel, and that we can't be trusted to be loyal to other governments, regardless of where we live. That is really what Israel is leaning into. You have anti-Semites—and then the government of Israel, APAC, and the ADL—all making the same argument, which I think really shows you the dangers and the inherent anti-Semitism of Zionism.
People like to claim that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic, but it's actually not, given that there are literally more Christian Zionists in the world than there are Jewish Zionists. This particular Christian form of Zionism wants Jews to go back to Israel so that we can provoke the end times—Armageddon. All Jews, except a very lucky 400 who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, burn for all eternity, so these are the Allies.
All these cancel-culture warriors who talk about right-wingers being canceled are very silent, interestingly enough, when it comes to critics of Israel, who are probably the most canceled people of all. If you're a Palestinian critic of Israel, you're very, very, very canceled. If you're a Jewish critic of Israel, you're less canceled, but you're still canceled—you're just canceled as a self-loathing Jew, as opposed to an anti-Semite, which is a significant difference.
I mean, I was fired by a network for saying that Israel is an apartheid state, so my being Jewish didn't really protect me." - Katie Halper
