French Jewish group distances itself from far-right leaders' Israel visit.

France's main Jewish association on Monday publicly distanced itself from an unprecedented invitation for two key figures in the French far right to attend a conference this week in Israel on the fight against anti-Semitism.

"In ‘Everyday #Jews’ I have tried to unpick the reasons why Jews are often so diffident about representing the everyday doing of #Jewish life. Part of the reason is that Jews are so often associated with the extraordinary, with the significant, that it is difficult to square that with the undeniable existence of the ordinary and the insignificant.

That makes it much easier for writers and artists to focus on what it is to feel Jewish – which is often to feel extraordinary and angst-ridden – rather than the myriad actions that make up Jewish life.

Since October 7th 2023 it was become ever more difficult for Jews to show our mundane side. It is much easier for Jews – of whatever opinion – to show how we are emoting, suffering and protesting, than to admit that everyday life is still continuing."

“Stepan Bandera's Sinister #MI6 Alliance Exposed”

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“As the mainstream media has acknowledged, [Ukrainian ultra-nationalist Stepan Bandera’s] legacy endures in modern Ukraine, in the form of Neo-Nazi military units such as Azov Regiment, & he remains a much-celebrated figure in certain quarters of the country”

"Ever flipped through your #history book and wondered “Why are all the #Jews wearing these funny #hats?”

You find it all over #Christian #art from stained glass windows to manuscripts, the #Judenhat (“#Jewish #hat”) can be traced back to #medieval #Europe.

You can even find it in the Bird’s Head Haggadah and some other Jewish books of the time! Originally a marker of eastern learning, antiquity and authority, and even fashionable with 12th century aristocracy, things took a dark turn as Jews were depicted wearing the hat while killing #Jesus. Paired with a “Jewish nose”, the hat can even sometimes still be seen in #Antisemitic depictions of Jews today."

Ok, if I have this story correct, an American citizen with Palestinian heritage, married a nice boy from #India with a PhD in Middle Eastern Peace Studies. The girl says pro #Palestine things on her social media, but the boy, Badar Khan Suri, is fairly circumspect in his public statements. The people using #Jews as an excuse to attack #Arabs realize they can’t deport the American (yet), but they can deport her husband, even though he’s done nothing wrong.

Everyone needs to realize that the goal of the neonazis is to turn all of us against each other. They will use any excuse, and blame any other group to get away with atrocities. It’s trans people and Palestinians and Hispanics today, it’s gonna be Catholics, Jews and Leftists next, if history is any indication.

"They’re using the term Jew as synonymous with Zionist or pro-Israel, which allows them to justify these actions in the name of Jewish rights and safety, even though an astonishingly large number of the students who are getting suspended, expelled, convicted, having their careers and lives ruined in the name of Jewish rights and safety are Jews, are Jews."

"We are witnessing one of the greatest attacks on the rights and safety of American Jews, particularly American Jewish students, in modern American history, perhaps since the Red Scare of the early 1950s. Let me say that again, because what I said may strike some people as strange. We are witnessing one of the greatest attacks on the rights and safety of American Jews, particularly Jewish students, in modern history."

If you protest "From The River To The Sea" you're saying in no uncertain terms you want all Jews in Israel dead, so, we aren't impressed with your concern over neo nazis anymore. Your time to worry about us is when people are marching in support of the Islamofascist terrorists who raped and massacred us, calling Jews defending themselves the bad guys. And in the absence of that, we couldn't give a single fuck what you have to say about anything at all.

As #German expansion increased the European dimensions of the so-called Jewish problem, and as the realization grew that the millions of #Jews living in Germany's new Lebensraum in the East might never fit into tiny #Palestine, the idea of dumping millions of Jews on the island of #Madagascar gained popularity among certain circles of German policy makers.
