On the ‘Invalidation’ of Jews
Or, My Ongoing Effort to Dissuade Jewish People of a Perceived Victimhood
This piece was prompted by a comment made regarding my previous article on Jewish claims of rising antisemitism, particularly in the two months since the Hamas breakout from their Gaza prison.
‘Antisemitism,’ originally coined to identify non-Jewish business syndicates established to counter the economic monopolies enabled by pooled Jewish wealth, now refers to any statement, opinion or position which fails to align with or finds reason to criticize Jewish entitlements, actions and policies.
Today, even supporting Palestinian rights under Israel’s disgraceful and inhuman system of apartheid will earn you a charge of antisemitism. Fuck that. No individual, group, people or culture are immune from criticism or consequence, a reality utterly unimaginable among those who follow Judaism.
Below is the comment in its entirety, as posted by Jeffrey Kass:
The irony of your piece is that you completely buy into the invalidation of Jews and any connection to their land. There are literally people everywhere calling for the Jewish homeland to be eradicated, where nearly half of the world’s Jews live, and where 95% of the other half identify. Zionism isn’t a theory that started 75 years ago. The idea of Jews returning to their homeland has been at the forefront of Jewish thought and prayer in every generation. Capital Z Zionism is part and parcel of being Jewish. Not just in 2023. But in all generations. Zion means Jerusalem. To say you can be against the land-based component of Jews (from the word Judea) means you’re against Jews. We don’t have to pick whether to love Jews or Palestinians. We can stop invalidating Jews and at the same time advocate for a Palestinian state living side by side. But asking for Israel to be wiped out is a call to genocide. The only thing between the river and the sea is all of Israel. Your piece lacks any understanding of the Jewish people, backed by solid DNA evidence by the way.
‘Invalidation of the Jews and any connection to their land’ …
There’s nothing to invalidate, because the Jewish delusion that God ‘chose’ them as his favourites and then ‘gifted’ them Palestine is not, has never been nor ever will be ‘valid’ … these are merely myths and no amount of repetition will ever grant them factual substance …
I’m not guilty of invalidating Jews so much as Jews are guilty of validating entitlements and superiorities so obviously impossible, so completely nonsensical they border on mental instability …
First of all, God cannot have favourites among His creations and be God … no further argument should be necessary …
Second, there is 5,000 years of recorded history for the Levant, during which span of time two distinct and disparate periods of Israelite rule totalled no more than a combined 500 years … how, then, do you equate such a brief period of regional governance with Jewish entitlement to Palestine? You cannot … Nor were the Jews ‘exiled’ from Palestine by the Romans, instead, they fled to avoid the empire’s punitive retributions for a sequence of rebellions, denying the claim the Levant was stolen from them …
You are correct that there are groups calling for the eradication of Israel, but how is that any different to the Jewish eradication of Palestine as a population, a culture with two millennia of history in place? The cry to eliminate Israel wouldn’t exist without Jewish intransigence and an absolute unwillingness to share anything … the Balfour Declaration permitting Jewish emigration to Palestine also specified that Jewish colonists were to leave the indigenous Palestinian communities in peace. The zionists embraced the phrase which benefitted them and ignored the phrase which limited them … and since then, Israel has kept not a single promise, agreement or treaty it ever agreed to …
And, surely, you have no argument to suggest that Jewish crimes and policies shoulder no blame for whatever resentments and hatreds your people face, and that, perhaps, rising levels of antisemitism are not entirely unprovoked …
So, nearly half of the world’s Jewry reside in apartheid Israel, wallowing in the perceived entitlements granted by a primitive fantasy of a tribe with whom they share no unbroken genetic ancestry … recent research established that Ashkenazi Jews share four founding matriarchs, all of them European Gentiles …
You claim 95% of the global diaspora ‘identify’ with Israel, yet these same people reject any responsibility for 80 years of Zionazi occupation or the enduring crimes against humanity perpetrated on Palestinians in their name … someone isn’t telling the whole truth …
Israel is not the only thing between the river and the sea, according to the borders recognized by Israel in 1967 but, in typical fashion, later ignored … no more, though; these last two months of unceasing Zionazi bombardment of the civilians and infrastructure of Gaza, the humanitarian crisis facing 2 million people denied food, water and electricity imposed by the most right-wing coalition ever to govern, accepted wholeheartedly and without complaint by a people who consider themselves ‘divine’ — this has shown the entire globe Judaism’s true nature as selfish, self-absorbed and blind to anything outside of its appetites … the world cannot ‘unsee’ the evil unleashed and justified by the primitive mythology of a Bronze Age cult, nor is it likely to ever forget …
To say you can be against the land-based component of Jews (from the word Judea) means you’re against Jews.
Fine, then. If my being anti-Zionist on account of my disgust with Zionist atrocities means I am anti-Jewish, I can live with it. I don’t want to be anti-Jewish — I don’t intrinsically hate anyone — but I will never accept that Jews are ‘God’s Chosen’ nor that Palestine is a Jewish birthright. After all, this is the 21st Century, and such absurd and asinine — but predatory and insatiable — entitlements have no place in a modern world.
Seen another way: Were I to come upon an Orthodox Jewish family stranded by the side of the road with car trouble, I would stop to help as I would anyone else … however, were the situations reversed, the Orthodox family would drive by me because they are Jewish and I am not, and thus unimportant … which of us hugs tighter to hate?
