It’s fascinating to see how the definition of antisemitism is now being expanded to include accurately quoting something that a Jew has said about his genuine intentions, motivations, and objectives. Especially when we’re now reaching the stage that a comparison of current Israeli rhetoric with historical National Socialist rhetoric is unfair to the latter, as evidenced by the recent genocidal rantings of Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:
For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!
With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration.
I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep.
Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you don’t win with measured responses and restraint—you need to go berserk. To obliterate. To crush the terror.
Remember, this is the same group of military geniuses who declared that after Iran was defeated, Turkey was next. But they are no more victims than is the serial killer who was abused as a child. And it makes absolutely no difference how some of their relatives were historically treated on a different continent in a different century, history is not a license for psychopathy or genocide.
If I ran around scalping people and offered the defense that it was justified because my relatives had been massacred in previous centuries, as they quite literally were, I would likely be declared insane. So anyone, and particularly any Christian, who still entertains the idea that God will bless them for supporting this murderous psychopathy needs therapy and quite possibly an exorcism.
And if you’re going to accuse everyone who is unabashedly sane, anti-satanic, and anti-psychopathic of being anti-semitic, well, you should probably stop and think very hard about the unavoidable implications of your accusation. While you’re at it, you would also do well to look into the linguistic etymology of “the accuser”.
