>>2388126 >>2389537I'm fully expecting the other shoe to drop and Trump flat out admit "yeah I was at Epstein Island so what? We fucked young girls, men like young girls, nobody wants spinsters folks. It's a hysterical witch hunt against men for being successful"
Or something like that, if I were Trump that's how I'd say it
https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/382755/wayward-jewish-minds/Wayward Jewish MindsRome is burning. The Titanic is sinking. And Jews, once again, are fiddling beside Nero while an orchestra goes down with the ship.
For a preternaturally nervous people, Jews sometimes have great difficulty in taking a hint.
A certain amount of Jewish nonchalance is understandable, I guess. The Jewish state seems to be out of crisis. Thatâs good for Israelis. But the same cannot be said of the Jewish peopleâand surely not Jewish Americans and European Jewry.
Successes on the battlefield may be a false flag. Yes, the geopolitical scorecard indicates that Israel bested five adversaries on four separate fronts: Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza; Hezbollah in Lebanon; the Houthis in Yemen; and the rabid Islamists of Iran. Nearly all were routed quickly. Had the Democratic Party not been in the White House in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 massacre, the war in Gaza would have ended sooner, fewer IDF soldiers would have lost their lives, and the remaining hostagesâboth alive and deadâwould have been returned.
Still, Israelâs wartime achievements, with a massive air defense and buster bomb assist from the Trump administration, will stand for the ages.
The Middle East map now looks very different. Israelâs enduring nemesis to its south is nearly vanquished. Maybe Gaza will be rebuilt with the remnants of the Muslim Brotherhood making life miserable for some other Arab country. Perhaps the Lebanese will rejoin the family of civilized nations by finally removing the Shiâites from their midst. Saudi Arabia could assist in ridding Yemen of the Houthis. Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia might be persuaded to join the Abraham Accords.
Talk about a sweeping regional turnaround.
Iran is in the market for spare parts with which to spin centrifuges for their decimated uranium enrichment project. I got a better idea. How about fast-tracking the martyrsâ death wish these Islamic Revolutionaries yearn for so zealously?
Meanwhile, life for Jews outside of Israel is a bit grimmer.
In the United Kingdom, a report co-authored by the governmentâs adviser on antisemitism and a former Conservative Defense Secretary, revealed some alarming changes in the usual stiff upper lip of British society. The country is awash in widespread antisemitism, everywhere one looksâranging from healthcare and university life to cultural institutions. British Jews are now apparently being excluded from professional and public arenas that once embraced them.
Worse still, hate crimes against Jews, especially when they occur during pro-Palestinian protests, are the lowest priorities of the Metropolitan Police. Indeed, antisemitism is no longer viewed as racism. Pervasive anti-Israel sentiments have spurned the old rules. Attacking Jews in jolly London is now accepted as a righteous human rights crusade.
How appropriate to kick off this new species of hatred in the United Kingdom. England expelled its Jews for nearly the entirety of the Middle Agesâthe first European country to do so. Not a single Jewish person lived in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
No wonder the groundlings at the Globe Theater jeered Shylock so mercilessly in those first performances of âThe Merchant of Venice.â The English hadnât seen a Jew in over 200 years!
I wish I could report better news in other European nationsâbut I canât.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Democrats in North Carolina, a moderate swing state, formally condemned Israel for âapartheid rule.â They also called for an arms embargo against Americaâs Middle East ally. The Democratic Party in Wisconsin and Washington State passed similar resolutions.
Michigan has a crowded field of candidates running for a U.S. Senate seat, in a battleground state where a Muslim candidate is charging Israel with genocide, and where 100,000 withheld their votes in the last election in protest against Joe Bidenâs perceived support of Israel.
Polling nationwide is dismalâespecially among Democrats. The Pew Research Center reported that among adults, 53 percent have an unfavorable opinion of Israel, an increase from three years earlier, when it was 42 percent. A sizable majority of Democrats, 69 percent, view Israel negatively, compared to Republicans at 37 percent.
A survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs rated Israel with a 41 on a 100-point scale. It was an 11-point decline since 2022. Never has Israelâs rating sunk that low. Nearly 70 percent of Democrats believed that the United States should stay out of the Israel-Palestinian conflict altogether. If forced to choose, 20 percent favor the Palestinians; fewer than half favor the Israelis.
MAGA Republicans are losing their love of Israel and affection for Jewsâif such amorous feelings ever existed at all. Trumpâs hardcore base opposed Americaâs involvement in Israelâs airstrikes over Iranâeven after it proved to be an overwhelming success. Now right-wing gadfly Tucker Carlson is arguing that any American who served in the IDF, assisting Israel in any capacity, should forfeit American citizenship. He also now speculates that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was for many decades a Mossad agent, and that the Justice Departmentâs failure to release the names of his associates is a Deep State coverup serving the interests of Israel. Many of his viewers are in agreement.
New York City, the financial capital of the world, and home to the largest population of Jews outside of Israel, appears to be on the verge of electing a Marxist mayor who does not believe the Jewish state has a right to exist and has no intention to ever visit Israel should he get elected. Whatâs more, Zohran Mamdani refuses to disavow the chant âglobalize the intifada.â Like âby any means necessary,â he maintains that such loaded language is nothing but a vague expression of Palestinian support. It most certainly is not an explicit call for the murder of Jewsâno matter what the practitioners of such tradecraft say.
Voters beware: the pro-Hamas campus protests are coming to a City Hall near you. Mamdaniâs candidacy is complicated by the public statements of his father, a Columbia history professor who has glorified suicide bombers, supported the BDS movement, and charged the Jewish state with genocide.
Most Democratic elected officials have stayed silent. Even Jewish Democrats have declined to reject Mamdaniâs fitness to represent them. Some have bizarrely formed a bandwagon to make Mamdaniâs campaign kosher.
The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee opined that there is plenty of room in the party for a broad coalitionâone that apparently includes those who wish the destruction of Israel and personally despise American Jews.
Would this âbig tentâ also welcome the Klan?
Itâs all too easy to dismiss Jew-haters as unenlightened. The biases of human beings, after all, are often hidden from view. And there are wide gaps in knowledge.
You know Jews are in trouble when artificial intelligence produces the same results. Elon Muskâs company, xAI, and its chatbot, Grok, regurgitated antisemitic tropes this week that would have made even neo-Nazis blush.
Letâs hope Jews are paying attention.
Did you know that America has had an Antisemenism czar for the last 21 years?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Special_Envoy_to_Monitor_and_Combat_AntisemitismTrump has oddly enough not appointed one yet this term.
>>2389621Why do we feel the need to call our heads of these departments "czars"? Not only is it LARPy it also just doesn't fit in culturally at all
>>2389622Call me a pessimist if you wish but at this point we should probably face the facts and admit nothing is actually going to come of any of this. Trump's base knows he's a pedophile and they think it's great, the Republicans in congress could ratify a bill lowering the age of consent to puberty and they'd all cheer. There is nothing too odious for them
>>2389632>>2389636Oh, zionists have been always the promoters of anti-Semitism, so they can then milk this to pass more laws, economic AID (which launders money), than the fuels more anti-Semitism.
It's idpol in its more grotesque form.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/411712Not what I expected from America<So far, instead of hostility, Iâve encountered moments of unexpected connection. Instead of fear, glimpses of hope. And that matters. Op-ed.
>When I boarded the plane from Israel to the United States a few weeks ago, I came with a certain level of emotional armor. Itâs been over twenty months since October 7th â and in that time, weâve all seen the headlines, the protests, the mobs tearing down posters of kidnapped Jews. I expected tension. Side-eyes. Maybe even open hostility. Especially as someone who walks around visibly Jewish and proudly so.
>But so far, what Iâve experienced has been⌠different.
>At a roadside rest stop on the way out of New York, I looked around the line and caught myself wondering: how many of these people hate me and I just donât know it? Yes, there were a few glares. But no slurs. No incidents. Just people waiting for their coffee.
>And then, a few days later, I met Mark â the owner of a small berry farm in Vermont. A farmer by day, a police officer by night, and a rescuer of abused and neglected animals in between. A good man. And, unexpectedly, a deep lover of Israel.
>We got to talking. Mark told me that before October 7th, he was neutral. But after watching a documentary about the atrocities of that day, something inside him shifted. It led him to dig into his familyâs history â and what he discovered floored him: his fatherâs side were Jews who escaped Nazi Germany and survived in France.
>Heâs now on a mission. Learning about Israel. Learning about Judaism. Reconnecting with a part of himself he never fully understood until now.
<Of course, these moments donât erase the reality of antisemitism. Far from it.
<In the last twenty months, weâve seen Jewish students barricaded inside university libraries while anti-Israel mobs screamed outside. Synagogues defaced in Los Angeles and Montreal. Jewish-owned businesses vandalized in New York. A professor at Stanford separated Jewish students into a corner and accused them of âgenocide.â An elderly Jewish man was killed in broad daylight in California for holding an Israeli flag. Israeli artists have been deplatformed. Orthodox Jews assaulted in Brooklyn. Pro-Hamas rallies on the steps of city halls and the lawns of Ivy League schools.
<And just down the road from Markâs quiet little farm in Vermont, I saw a large Palestinian flag waving from a barn â a bold symbol of either ignorance or hostility. A reminder that the hate is never far away, even in the most peaceful of places. >>2389652God I wish they'd just fucking go for it, just come out and say it, start pushing for the most vile shit imaginable.
No quicker way to light the powderkeg.
https://www.energy.gov/articles/us-and-israel-pledge-work-together-unleash-ai-innovation-new-memorandum-understandingU.S. and Israel Pledge to Work Together to Unleash AI Innovation with New Memorandum of Understanding
>U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, vice chair and chair of the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance collaboration on energy and artificial intelligence (AI) with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel (Michael) Leiter.
<âPresident Trump and the National Energy Dominance Council are excited to announce this partnership on AI and energy security with Israel and the United States, advancing our shared vision of global energy addition and AI innovation,â Energy Secretary Chris Wright said. âThis Memorandum of Understanding enables our two countries to leverage our research institutions, and technology and energy sectors to ensure the United States and Israel are leaders in AI and remain energy dominant forces as AI transforms our future.â
<âU.S. Energy Dominance demands the advancement of artificial intelligence,â said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. âToday, the Department of the Interior, in conjunction with the Department of Energy and leaders on the National Energy Dominance Council, recognized the critical partnership between America and the State of Israel to strategically power the feedback loop of innovation between the energy sector and AI. Through the advancement of AI, while properly managing our natural resources and improving our energy systems, the Trump administration is powering a new future that transforms global energy dominance for America and our allies.â
>The MOU highlights the transformative potential of AI to improve the security and resilience of America and Israelâs energy systems. The two countries further announced their intent to pursue cooperation in areas including analyzing the impact of rising energy demand due to data centers, opportunities for grid optimization, enhanced AI-enabled cybersecurity tools, sharing best practices on the use of AI in energy infrastructure, and the launching of bilateral pilot projects. >>2389645>>2389645well, listen

lmao who knows.
trump isn't a man known of doing things with predictability. different political analysts and political figures have called him unpredictable, like mĂŠlanie joly, Canada, or Putin in Russia. who knows what's his endgame. Also, it's anti-zionism, not anti-Semitism.
https://combatantisemitism.org/interview/what-all-jewish-americans-need-to-know-right-now-scns-patrick-daly-on-rising-antisemitic-threat-levels-in-us/What All Jewish Americans Need to Know Right Now: SCNâs Patrick Daly on Rising Antisemitic Threat Levels in US<SCNâs 24/7 command center monitors threats in real time and supports Jewish communities across North America with rapid, coordinated security responses.
>Patrick Daly, Principal Deputy Director of the Secure Community Network (SCN), has played a central role in Jewish security for two decades.
>A founding staff member of SCN, Daly now serves as a senior advisor to the National Director and oversees the organizationâs core strategic and operational divisions, including Intelligence Operations, Field Security, and Preparedness Planning. He has worked closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and law enforcement agencies across the country to protect Jewish institutions and communities across North America.
>The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) spoke with Patrick Daly to understand what every Jewish institution â and individual â needs to know to stay safe amid the unprecedented wave of antisemitic violence that has intensified since October 7.
<Since October 7, Jewish institutions have been targeted with alarming boldness â from the shooting in Washington, D.C., to the firebombing in Boulder, Colorado. In both cases, âFree Palestineâ was not just a slogan â it was weaponized as justification for violence against Jews. What physical safeguards or procedural measures might have changed those outcomes? And how should communities confront the growing use of anti-Israel rhetoric as a vehicle for incitement and antisemitic violence?
>âWe are currently facing the most complex and dynamic threat environment the Jewish community has really ever faced in the U.S.,â Daly said, noting this escalation is evident in both law enforcement assessments and ongoing events on the ground.
>Where once the primary danger came from neo-Nazi and white supremacist actors, today the threats are far more diverse and ideologically dispersed. âWe went through a whole stretch of Islamist-based violence,â he noted. âAnd now weâre seeing it on the left as well.â
>Daly emphasized that slogans like âFree Palestineâ are increasingly being âco-optedâ and âweaponizedâ to justify violence against Jews. âWhat weâre seeing is these chants have seemingly legitimized violence⌠theyâve been weaponized, certainly against the Jewish community â from campuses to events,â he said.
>Without commenting on specific security protocols under investigation in Boulder or D.C., Daly pointed out that attackers deliberately exploit vulnerabilities, especially at event exit points. âWe saw the perpetrator in D.C. be outside, go inside. And certainly, he made the attack outside, which is always a softer area of security⌠versus inside, where things are more secure.â
>In response, Daly emphasized that communities must prioritize layered, proactive security. âAccess control is one of the number one measures weâre recommending â knowing whoâs coming in, how events are being publicized, and ensuring strong physical safeguards,â he said.
>Personnel remain key. âSecurity is critically important,â Daly said. âAnd when I say security, I mean personnel â whether itâs off-duty law enforcement, hired guards, or trained volunteer security. They act as both a deterrent and a real response force.â
>Finally, he called for stronger coordination between event organizers and security professionals. âWeâve made a concerted push: organizers need to be active participants in the safety of their events,â Daly said. âAs professionals, we can only help with the events we know about.â
<Given the ongoing surge in antisemitic threats since October 7 â and now the added instability from the Israel-Iran conflict â what are the three most urgent actions every synagogue, school, or JCC should take immediately to protect their community? What advice do you have for institutions that lack professional security staff and rely heavily on volunteers?
>In this heightened threat environment â escalated not only by the October 7 aftermath but also by ongoing instability with Iran â Daly urged every Jewish institution to return to the basics: planning, training, and partnerships.
>âItâs pretty simple,â he said. âSecurity is not rocket science â but it really is principle-based and comes down to discipline.â
>The first step, Daly stressed, is to have a plan. âA plan for your event, for day-to-day operations â for anyone running or operating Jewish centers of life,â he said. âThat includes training your staff, knowing what to look for, and how to respond in a crisis.â
>Second, make security everyoneâs responsibility. âWe would never outsource the safety and security of our own family,â he said. âNor should we expect others to provide 100% protection for our institutions. We need to be good partners in our own safety.â
>Third, consult with professionals and coordinate with law enforcement. SCN now has over 100 federation-based and regional security professionals across the U.S., including regional directors covering underserved areas. âTheir focus is ensuring that smaller communities â like Whitefish, Montana or Western Texas â have the same access to high-level security guidance that places like New York, New Jersey, L.A., or Miami do,â Daly said.
>Daly added that institutions without full-time security staff should not feel helpless. SCN offers assessments, training, and support for volunteer-led communities. âYou donât have to go it alone,â he promised. âLean on the network.â
>Finally, Daly underscored the importance of layered security â a principle that protects against single points of failure. âTraining, perimeter security, access control â if we donât catch the threat at the perimeter, maybe the door lock or entry procedure will stop them,â he said. âEvery layer adds a chance to prevent tragedy.â
<Weâve seen rallies where chants glorify terrorism, call for âanother October 7,â or praise Hamas and Hezbollah. From a security standpoint, when does protest become a direct threat? How should Jewish institutions prepare â legally, tactically, and psychologically â when that rhetoric shows up at their doorstep?
>While protest is a constitutionally protected right in the U.S., Daly made clear that Jewish institutions must remain alert to the moment when rhetoric turns into risk â especially in todayâs volatile climate.
>âWe do not monitor peaceful protests just because a protest is happening,â he clarified. But SCNâs Jewish Security Operations Command Center (JSOC), based in Chicago and staffed 24/7 by intelligence analysts, is constantly monitoring for signs that a protest is escalating toward violence. âThe team is really trained to assess calls for violence, movement toward violence â especially from known groups or individuals who may cross the line from protected speech to actionable threats,â he said.
>To make those assessments, SCN relies on behavioral threat experts to distinguish between what Daly calls âthe hunters versus the howlersâ â those capable of violence versus those merely making noise. âWe look at rhetoric, past histories, and deeper profiles to determine who poses a credible threat,â he noted.
>For institutions near protest zones, preparation is key â legally, tactically, and psychologically. âWe train and equip organizations with guidance on how to prepare for and manage demonstrations,â Daly said. âWeâve seen peaceful protests evolve into violence â sometimes hijacked by just a few individuals with intent to escalate.â
>Understanding the legal landscape is also crucial. Daily advised, âKnow your rights. Know the boundaries of private property. Know where protesters legally can and cannot go. And work in advance with law enforcement to create space and separation between opposing groups.â
>âThereâs a lot we can do to ensure people can exercise free speech without compromising our safety and security,â he added.
<When a threat comes in â whether itâs a bomb scare, an active shooter warning, or coordinated intimidation â what does an effective institutional response actually look like? Walk us through the first ten minutes: who acts, what decisions are made, and how does SCN support those actions in real time?
>When a threat comes in â whether itâs a bomb scare, an active shooter alert, or a wave of coordinated intimidation â the first ten minutes are critical. And according to Daly, the most effective response is not chaotic or improvised â itâs calm, coordinated, and built on preparation.
>âYou donât rise to the occasion â you fall back on your level of training,â he said. âWe respond based on how we plan and prepare.â Thatâs why SCN emphasizes scenario-based planning, training, and exercises well in advance of any crisis.
>A strong institutional response, he explained, begins with a rapid threat assessment and activation of the appropriate protocol. âIt involves a security professional, immediate notification to law enforcement â especially in an active threat scenario â and instant connectivity with the SCN national team,â Daly said. âWe provide real-time support, from intelligence and law enforcement liaison to on-scene assistance.â
>But managing the threat is only part of the equation. Institutions must also manage the psychological response. âWeâre handling two crises at once â the incident itself, and the fear it creates,â Daly noted. âA key role of the security professional is to bring down the temperature and reduce anxiety in the community.â
>He illustrated this with the example of bomb threats in 2017, when one perpetrator repeatedly targeted the same facility, hoping to provoke panic. âHe would watch online to see the reaction,â Daly recalled. âBut once institutions realized these were hoaxesâand adjusted their response â the threats diminished. The attacker stopped calling those who didnât give him the reaction he wanted.â
>That doesnât mean ignoring threats. âWe have to respond to every threat until we know itâs a hoax,â Daly emphasized. âBut a good, calm, and measured response â built on training and planning â can stop a crisis from becoming chaos.â
<Iran is the worldâs leading state sponsor of terror and has a long history of targeting Jewish communities abroad. Are there credible signs â surveillance activity, proxy behavior, digital chatter â that Iranian actors are directing or inspiring domestic threats in the U.S.? How does SCN incorporate international conflicts, like Israel-Iran, into threat modeling and community guidance here at home?
>Iranâs influence on domestic threats to Jewish communities in the U.S. is real, growing, and deeply rooted in a long history of proxy violence. âWeâve been at this game a long time,â Daly said. âBeing students of history is critically important â looking back at past attacks and understanding how Iranian and proxy actors respond to conflict is essential to the work we do.â
>According to Daly, Iranian actors â including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) â have long targeted diplomats, dissidents, and Jews abroad, not only through direct operatives but by outsourcing to criminal networks and gangs. âWe saw that in Canada,â he said. âAnd even before the most recent escalation, Iranian and other state-based actors were influencing, actively encouraging, fomenting violence online.â
>One particularly alarming area of concern is the influence campaign on college campuses. Daly referenced a bulletin from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that highlighted Iranian-backed messaging and recruitment efforts in the U.S., particularly in academic spaces. âIt wasnât widely circulated, but those in the intelligence and security communities paid close attention,â he noted.
>Iranian strategy often favors plausible deniability, using proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas to avoid direct responsibility. âHistorically, these groups have sought to target Jews and Israelis outside of Israel â including in the U.S. â because of the difficulty of carrying out attacks inside our countries and the fear of direct retaliation,â Daly explained.
>He also emphasized how international conflicts routinely inspire domestic violence. âWeâre keenly aware of perpetrators attacking American Jews for what are perceived as Israeli policies,â he said. âI remember back in 2006, just two years into my work at SCN, there was the shooting at the Seattle Jewish Federation â carried out by a Pakistani-American who literally said he was angry at Israel during the Second Lebanon War. One person was killed, and several were injured.â
>As tensions with Iran escalate, SCN remains deeply focused on threat modeling that includes foreign state actors and proxy groups. âIt remains a significant concern weâre watching closely,â Daly concluded.
<What security trainings should now be considered non-negotiable for Jewish institutions? Whether itâs situational awareness, lockdown protocols, or active threat response â which programs offer the greatest return on investment? And how can under-resourced communities quickly gain access to these tools through SCN or local partners?
>If every other security measure had to be stripped away, Daly is unequivocal about what must remain: training.
>âTraining is what saves lives,â he said. âItâs why we invest so heavily at SCN in developing our own curriculum and delivering it across the Jewish community. If I had to remove all of the security guidance and principles we do, training would remain.â
>Daly pointed to real-life examples â like the synagogue attacks in Colleyville and Pittsburgh â where survivors directly credited SCNâs training programs with helping them stay calm under pressure and act decisively. âItâs not just about having a plan,â he said. âItâs about having the mindset of security and being able to commit to action in the moment.â
>At the core of SCNâs approach are three non-negotiable trainings that every Jewish institution should conduct on an annual basis:
<Be Aware Training â âOur introduction to situational awareness,â Daly said. âIt teaches people what to look for, how to report suspicious activity, and how to stay alert in their everyday surroundings.â <Countering-Active Threat Training â SCNâs comprehensive response program for active threats, including not just shootings but also edged weapon attacks, vehicle rammings, and other evolving tactics. âItâs more than just active shooter â itâs about expanding our readiness,â he said. <Stop the Bleed â Life-saving trauma response training that empowers community members to provide emergency medical care in the critical minutes before first responders arrive.
>Furthermore, SCN recently launched Guardian â a training tailored for frontline personnel at Jewish institutions, such as volunteers, receptionists, and JCC staff. âItâs about giving them the tools to serve as gatekeepers â knowing how to lock down a facility, respond to intruders, and alert people inside,â Daly said.
>Training is also customized for specific audiences â from Jewish summer camps to Hillels and university communities â ensuring relevance and effectiveness across all segments of Jewish life. âTraining is a life skill,â Daly said. âIt empowers individuals to act, not freeze.â
>To ensure access, SCN delivers training in-person, online, and in hybrid formats. In 2024 alone, the organization trained over 40,000 people. And for communities without the resources to implement formal security measures, SCN offers âlow-cost, no-costâ options. âWeâre acutely aware,â Daly emphasized, âthat weâre only as strong as our weakest link.â
>What everyday habits should individual Jews adopt right now to stay safe? What are the small, consistent behaviors that make the biggest difference in a high-threat environment?
>When it comes to staying safe in a high-threat environment, Daly noted that the most effective habits are often the simplest â and the most consistent.
>âBe aware of your surroundings. Itâs a life skill,â he said. âJust like we teach kids to look both ways before crossing the street, situational awareness should be second nature.â Whether youâre walking to your car at night, riding public transportation, or attending a large gathering, awareness of whoâs around you and what feels out of place can make all the difference.
>Another lifesaving habit Daly recommended is âStop the Bleedâ training. âYouâre more likely to use a tourniquet on someone whoâs had a car accident than in a violent attack â but the skill is the same,â he said. Knowing how to respond to medical emergencies quickly can save lives, regardless of the cause.
>In todayâs digital world, cyber awareness is also essential. Daly cautioned against oversharing online, especially in real time. âA lot of people are posting everything, everywhere, as it happens,â he said. âIf youâre attending a large Jewish event in Washington, D.C., donât post about it while youâre there. And if youâre traveling, donât broadcast that your home is empty.â
>Finally, Daly stressed the importance of maintaining balance. âWe need to be measured in our approach,â he said. âWe can be aware without being paranoid.â >>2389681>>2389681>If Judaism is ZionismJudaism isn't zionism because there are non jewish zionists and non zionist jews. There's a large overlap between judaism and zionism but it's not a circle on the venn diagram
but if it were, then yes, in my opinion that would make judaism antisemitic. if that sounds impossible I will say I think all forms of ethnonationalism fundamentally go against the people it claims to represent. Some forms of reactionary politics are suicidal because they seek out avoidable unwinnable fights in the name of ideology. ISIS is islamophobic and nazism is anti white.
>>2389632>Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me:<"Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn't he Jewish?"Y'know I saw the movie, and if some pre-teen is seeing a grotesque fat man screech "FILL THE STREETS WITH THE BLOOD OF JAHANPUR", seeing dudes in uniform prepare to execute an unarmed child, and thinking:
>"That's MY people doing that!"and
>"Why is a superhero opposed to this?"Then I think you've raised a completely amoral little psycho.
>>2389724people who write thinkpieces use their children as mouthpieces. I swear to god the kids in these sob stories never actually say this shit.
"and then my child looked at me and said you know I really enjoyed reading theorodor herzl, thank you for the literature mummy"
like stfu lol
>>2389674>comment removed by community filterholy shit, lmao.
>>2389676goddammit, more zionist rant.
>>2389738Basically Muslims, Catholics, and white non-evangelical Protestants don't like Israel.
But white evangelical protestants, protestants (regardless of race), Jews, and the religiously unaffiliated all like Israel.
>>2389722Only devoted Clintonites will listen. It's a gold mine to use against republicans and best of all it doesn't actually challenge fundamentals of the capitalist economy or imperialist foreign policy. It's purely criminal.
>>2389725tbf are they wrong?
>>2389676Y'know back when the sex scandal in the Catholic Church was making the rounds, I saw a lot of cope from other Catholics, but I can at least say in all of that there was
at least enough dignity to avoid saying something like:
>"Catholicism IS Pedophilia!"Like that'd be something people who hate Catholicism would say, ditto for right wingers trying to say ISIS is the sole correct interpretation of Islam or evangelicals trying to blame evolution or atheism for Hitler. I'm genuinely stunned we're seeing all these pieces trying to bind Judaism and Zionism closer together
ostensibly from Jews themselves.
>>2389712>The greatest sin a Jew can ever commit in their eyes: Actually being integrated into the society they live in and not being the caricature of a scheming Jew who always put his Judaism above all other loyalties.There's a really funny article from a younger á´uá´lossnW where he talks about some Zionist conference that was going on in Italy at the time and the crux of it is basically:
>"You all are Italians, you're just Italians that practiced a different religion. Why the fuck are you going around claiming you're some other race that needs its own state?">>2389727>>2389728Kids can be contradictory smart-asses, so I imagine the author of the tweet kept hemming and hawing "Oh, that's Israel!" In the theater, and his little shithead kid was like "Cool".
>>2389738>>2389744According to Catholic "Just War" doctrine, the following conditions need to be met:
>The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;>All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;>There must be serious prospects of success;>The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. the power of modem means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.Even if we consider Hamas to be the "aggressor" in this doctrine, there's still the matter of:
>Israel has basically foreclosed diplomacy, killed diplomats, and refuses to negotiate with the Palestinians as equals>"Success" for Israel can only be defined by the ethnic cleansing of Palestine>Any evil that Hamas has committed pales in comparison to the mass death that Israel has causedSo I think the catechism would be pretty clear that what's happening in Gaza is as far from a "Just War" as possible. You'd need to twist yourself in pretzels to look at all this and think Israel isn't waging an unjust war.
>>2389756You're right, dems are worthless. But the average online lib looking for a cheap win will continue to harp on it at least. Good chance that will bleed over to underfunded representatives who constantly get fucked over by the DNC.
>>2389760ok what's the right question?
>>2389644>I wonder how Patriots.win is rationalizing this?>>2389651>Some are declaring unconditional fealty, others are calling for woodchippers.>>2389652>I suspect it wont be long now until the mods clamp down and forbid the discussion of Epstein altogether. I'm still on the nothing ever happens train here, and I think the people who are mad about it will probably collapse into apathy and further fragmentation. Most likely. Burnout.
It's like narrative collapse. Trump was supposed to be the guy who revealed the corruption but he's contradicting that myth so therefore = politics is corrupt and pointless and there's no point in trying to change anything. It's kind of in the nature of the Epstein story. There's no real way to take it anywhere. The forecast was wrong and The Storm is not arriving. There was supposed to be
us vs.
them and they're
evil and that's why the world is
bad. There can only be total victory except the reality is they're getting nothing. So it's a total loss.
>>2389769Youâd need a definition of racism that everyone could agree on and wouldnât be open to misuse, and a consistent application across the board basically. Like, when I was a kid the definition of racism was basically âtreating people poorly because of their raceâ and then years later it changed to âpower + prejudiceâ, so Iâd see some people say some pretty awful stuff about white people than go âwell itâs power + prejudice and since I donât have power I canât be racistâ
Honestly I think the best solution is still âtreat others how you want to be treatedâ but the problem is too many vocal people want to try to gamify it. âI can treat you like shit and you just have to take it because of some justification I just pulled out of my ass.â
>>2389824yea, just like all the cam tapes were deleted by "accident" and were later "found" and claim nothing happened and the epstein book looks like an SCP article with how much black bars there is epstein and gislaine SURELY molested 10k minors alone, believe it.
Stephen is probably in it.
>>2389906I failed multiple times to engage with him to rationalize that, if the zionists are in control, therefore, it's US-ZOG, why are the zionists on the frontlines and not the American solders, which should led him to accept that it's the zionists a proxy.
hard stuff man. hard stuff. he get's it in almost everything right, except in this obvious crypto-nazi propaganda.
>>2389879it's almost as if the word goy has negative connotations…

>His latest outrage? Declaring that American citizens who serve in the Israel Defense Forcesâlike my own childrenâshould be stripped of their U.S. citizenship. Carlson has apparently convinced himself that American Jews who feel a sense of duty to Israel are traitors, or at least less American than their neighbors. The ugliness of this accusation is matched only by its historical illiteracy.>Does Carlson understand, for example, that some of Americaâs most revered World War II heroes voluntarily joined foreign militariesâwell before the United States entered the war? That far from being condemned, they were celebrated?>Letâs start with the Eagle Squadronsâunits of volunteer American pilots who joined Britainâs Royal Air Force to fight Nazi Germany in 1940 and 1941, while America remained officially neutral. These brave men, often in their twenties, believed the threat of fascism was too dire to wait for official policy to catch up with moral clarity. They put their lives on the line, not for personal gain, but to defend democracy and decency abroad.>Carlson may also want to familiarize himself with Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., older brother of President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy trained as a naval aviator and volunteered for a high-risk mission in 1944, during which he was tragically killed. He was part of a generation that understood moral duty does not end at a nationâs border.>Were these Americans traitors, Tucker? Should they have been stripped of their citizenship? >>2389981To be fair, it's very "loose" as far as ideology goes, or the character of the figures that pioneer it. Vidkun Quisling was a sycophant. Hitler was fairly charismatic but when it came to intelligence I'd say the man was on a spectrum from idiot to thoroughly average. Mosley and á´uá´lossnW were fairly smart. At least ideologically educated.
I think you can make a divide between "Fascists who read Marx" and "Fascists who didn't read Marx." 'Course Carlson and Trump both fall into the latter camp, but at least Carlson
reads. Trump's just a retard.
>>2389984Ehhhh I doubt it.
>>2389974Most homeowners are a few months unemployment away from losing it to bank foreclosure. One depression will liquidate them as a class.
>>2389993tap tap tap
>>2389994Unironically as á´uá´lossnW envisioned it: kind-of. There's a joke that if you look at Fascist propaganda of the Italian-Ethiopian war it's got some "One-Struggle" vibe to it.
The way I see it, whether cynically or ideologically, there was this idea among the "classical Fascists" that the Fascist state could kind of straddle all the contradictions, bind everything together, basically do anything. And so a lot of the early fascists went into it with that mindset: á´uá´lossnW promoted some Syndicalist into a union leader and the guy explicitly said "Capitalists only exist until the workers can run things, then we'll have a socialist economy". You had liberals, conservatives, ex-anarchists and ex-communists, just this whole ideologically incoherent cabinet of people all pulling one way or another. And á´uá´lossnW himself frequently used bribes in an attempt to get former Socialists on his side.
I think Tucker gets that aspect of it better than others on the Right. Trump enjoys rubbing shit in his enemies' face, while vaguely alluding to material concerns ("We're gonna bring back the factories!") Tucker is smart and, most importantly, he practices
restraint.If he were to run and win, I think you'd see Democrats rushing to him as "the savior of the Republican Party." They'd be exclaiming that finally "decency" has returned. Maybe some Socialists would appreciate a few scattered statements of his about housing or what have you. He could be a figure that "straddles the contradictions" as it were.
There was a clip of him I saw some Hassan reaction to. And in it, the guy is deviously smart. He starts talking about how GDP is a completely useless measurement when juxtaposed with young people being unable to afford homes, it's ephemeral, ethereal, and right now people are struggling so who cares if the line goes up? It's an ingenious bit of populism, straddled along with a pretty explicitly nationalist, maybe even racist agenda.
>>2389930Indoctrination is fucking weird as fuck. I really think we're just going to see a completely pathetic suicidal death-spiral of Israel soon. Samson option but farcical and tragically pathetic.
>>2390007The "fascists" are just brown-blues at this point, the liberals are the blue-browns.
>>2389997Accelerationism it is then. Time to proleratize.
>>2389975Then why do they oppose housing. It's always "muh house price". Sounds familiar to "muh grain"
>>2390039>Gottheimer was born in Livingston, New Jersey, on March 8, 1975.[2] Gottheimer is the son of Jewish parents, a preschool teacher and a small business owner.[3] Growing up, Gottheimer stocked shelves at his father's store.[4] At the age of 16, Gottheimer served as a U.S. Senate page for Frank Lautenberg, a senator from New Jersey. Through high school and college, Gottheimer held internships with C-SPAN, the secretary of the Senate, and Tom Foley, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.[5] >>2390011Basically it's the maximalist purity spiraling. I think the logic goes
>"CPUSA said there should be a ceasefire instead of total Israeli death.">"CPUSA said there should be a two state solution instead of the destruction of the Israeli state.">"Therefore CPUSA is zionist."It's taking "zionist" to mean anything short of demanding the total destruction of Israel right now. Meanwhile actual Zionists are saying if you're so much as upset at Palestinian children getting murdered, you're an anti-semitic Hamas supporter.
>>2390014>The "fascists" are just brown-blues at this point, the liberals are the blue-browns.I said ages ago that if Fascism, real ideological Fascism, comes to America, it'd inevitably have to get some liberals on its side. We've got a real issue of seeing things wholly in the sense of some static "looking back on history" stuff. Like to us, the racism of the Nazis is what stands out the most, it defines them, but there were even some Jews in Germany (generally mid-to-upper class) who thought Hitler was "just talking about the BAD Jews" or that the Nazis would just clean everything up and get things on track. The whole idea of Fascism was that in the midst of these bitter political divides, you can kind of reunite all strata of society in some national brotherhood.
So what would "woke Fascism" look like? Well I think back to Lawrence Dennis, the father of "intellectual" American Fascism. He was a mix-raced man, and he
genuinely thought that Fascist Nationalism could help overcome racism. He explicitly said "we can't be united by religion, we can't be united by race, we have to be united by the Nation." Shit, we already have black Nazis now, "Black Fascists" wouldn't be too shocking.
>>2390035>What's the chain of cause and effect, here?Nepotism and ethnic preference mostly.
You said there was no materialist explanation for antisemitism. But obvious wealth and class differences fuel it. Solution is for jews not to be racist and join socialists.
>>2390062
> Of course itâs our case. Letâs do it. Filipinos have a heart. You know, youâve been oppressed by Spain and then later by the U.S. And you kicked the goddamn Americans out. And Iâm disappointed that Estrada is giving them some kind of landing right for U.S. Military to come back. Thatâs a terrible mistake, shameful thing. Shouldnât let those guys come in with their ships at all. As a matter of fact, you should shut down your embassy in manila u.s. Embassy in manila Iâll tell you why Itâs very dangerous to have American empathy now, because the United States is committing so many vicious crimes all over the world, in Kosovo, in Yugoslavia, supporting the bandit state of Israel, which is slaughtering the Palestinians and the Lebanese people. The United States is hated all over the world, and thereâs going to be more embassy attacks. They say that, as of just now, the United States has closed up a whole bunch of their African embassies because theyâre afraid of new embassy attacks by Obama-bin Laden groups. And this is all because of the United Statesâ criminal behavior. The United States is endangering the lives of Americans all over the world. And theyâre endangering the lives of nationals in other like the Philippines, with their embassies. You should close down that goddamn embassy before it gets blown up. In fact, what the… America is an outlaw country. America controlled by the dirty Jews. Look at administration. Itâs totally Jewish. Fuck the United States. Fuck the Jews.
He sounds like he would've posted here.
>>2390073>And it's not like Fischer accomplished anything outside of chessSeems high I,Q means you are a turbo autist in a niche field and useless in just about everything else.
>>2390077You need the loyal support of people in the military first.
>>2390007>He could be a figure that "straddles the contradictions" as it were.>>2390045>The whole idea of Fascism was that in the midst of these bitter political divides, you can kind of reunite all strata of society in some national brotherhood. Yeah this is important. There's a book on Marxists.org called "Why Fascism?" that was written in the 1930s and laid out various features of it during the time, and there's a chapter under uniting a bunch of contradictory tendencies in the society. The authors (they were British socialists) described it as not saying one thing and doing another thing, but saying contradictory things and trying to do it all which led to a zig-zag in fascist policy.
>>2390062>>2390066Bobby Fischer is actually describing himself, or how he feels about himself. Would an "anti-social, destructive, intolerant, mean-spirited, deceitful guy" who wants to "destroy, rule, and kill, rob whoever gets in his way" have certain qualities that would make him really good at chess? A ruthless, paranoid, genius-loner and master of deception with highly destructive tendencies? Makes you think.
>>2390105The truth is that fascism is a center-right branch of utopian socialism. Anarchism is a center-left political position. Liberalism and manifest destiny are far-right.
Communism <- Anarchism/Utopian Socialism <- Fascism <- Liberalism <- Manifest Destiny
Liberalism is Nazism, a hybrid of Fascism and Manifest Destiny.
>>2390097I don't care with Fischer thinks. His views of Jewishness being innate are stupid. Take a Jewish baby, put them up for adoption and they wont be Jewish in any meaningful sense.
Problem with Jewish people today is their ethnocentrism. The capitalist system also encourages their racism against outgroups to benefit themselves.
>>2390107Maybe you should teach people to have basic hygiene instead of mutilating babies, retard
>>2390129Someone here posted "reactionaries are the real revolutionaries", and I think that's true
No "leftist" can be a revolutionary if they're gonna live in fear of a jew taking offense at something they say.
