My last blog, “Dead Jews Are The Norm!” went a bit viral and received a considerable amount of feedback and comments. While some comments supported and agreed with my blog article, most replies spewed Jew hatred and confirmed all the comments I made in “Dead Jews are the Norm.”
Today, the most significant expression of antisemitism and Jew hatred is to condemn and deny the legitimate existence of Israel. It is one thing to disagree with the government of Israel, which even I disagree with. But the existence of a Jewish state is a whole other thing. People hate Israel for the specific reason it is a Jewish state.
So the messages came back loud and clear; people prefer dead Jews and will find any reason to support their hate of Jews! I did not expect my blog article to be an actual data collecting experiment in Jew hate, but it turned out as such.
And as I said in my blog article, many in the world are totally pissed that today Jews have their own country and an army that will successfully defend Jews. They despise the fact Jews will no longer remain defenseless victims of hate. We deny them their expected norm!
This is a sample of the Jew-hating comments sent as responses to my blog “Dead Jews Are The Norm:”
“Let me let you down easy here. For all the hand wringing and wailing, jews are by no means the most persecuted people on the planet. The fascination with what happened to your tribe, is tribalism. That’s not virtue. You want to keep chiming about your own suffering and ignoring the suffering of others? That’s not virtue. Yes it’s a tragedy, but nobody alive today bears any guilt for this. Stop trying to milk it.“
“you jew were never the chosen ones! your sodomites and edomites and your daddy is Satan. you know damn well the holocaust was a hoax and its all about money for your greedy nasty race. I am a white man from Adam, an Israelite. As children of the Heavenly Father, we were born of Spirit. You children of Satan, are born dead, without spirit and cannot inherit the Kingdon of Heaven. No such thing as a christian jew either. You are doomed to hell, that’s why jews do not read the bible it tells the truth about you!“
“the 16 million Jews worldwide are 16 million too many!”
“LYING CULTIST.”
“Gee whizz – Wonder why people hate you jews?”
“too bad there were Jewish survivors and more jews like you were born!”
“never again, what? The lie of a holocaust? Or the assault on our Liberty. One happened, the other did not. Israel killed Americans, and that should never be forgotten!!!”
“This Palestinian baby was burned alive by Jewish settlers. These settlers then taunted the family of this baby by shouting “Ali’s on the grill.” Holocaust my ass!
“Hitler didn’t start out murdering Jews. Israel didn’t start out a Zionazi Genocide Machine. Six Million murdered Jews does not give Netanyahu the right to Lebensraum. Israel is a European Imperialistic Power. Apparently, all the REAL Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust! I’m sure they would be appalled to see what is being done in their name today!“
“Hopefully, they’ll (Jews) be more landmarks in the future!”
“Not nearly so ‘norm’ as dead Palestinian children…”
“Jews are so accustomed to thinking of themselves as victims, and it is especially difficult for them to admit they have victimized others.“
“it looks as if most of those 16 million Jews are demonstrating against their own Apartheid and criminal government. It’s not the Arabs who want to wipe Israel off the map. The Israel government is doing a better job. This is happening today.”
“So you support the corrupt Biden family who wants to take away everyone’s freedom and you think they will protect the Jews? You are dreaming. True Christians know that the Jews are God’s chosen people and if the U.S. doesn’t support Israel it will not bode well for them. Biden is a fake Catholic and does not follow any Christian principles. If it weren’t for us real Christians you would not be allowed in America and there would be no country of Israel.“
“it seems Jews should be hated, and as I watch what unfolds in Palestine, I can understand why.”
“I am older than Israel, I mean Palestine. Now go away; your mutterings are of no value.”
“Keep telling those lies, but more and more people are waking up to the truth, and there was never a holocaust. Oh, and about the jews, and how I feel about them, you are right on that one.“
“What about the DEAD Palestinians that Israel is targeting every day???!?”
“Today, dead Palestinians are the norm! Israel targets CIVILIANs in Gaza“
“We saw what happened to Palestine when they took in jew refugees“
“Zionism is part of a worldwide fascist resurgence. They feed off of each other.“
“Liberals hate people that stand up for themselves. To a liberal, the ideal person is a North Korean. Totally dependent on minions.“
“Israel is an illegal occupying entity with a powerful army, the Palestinians will be arrested if they have a knife in their possession. There is no Palestinian army, only innocent civilians!”
“i never forget the genocide of Palestinians.. thats what i Never Forget..”
“You don’t really believe in equal rights, you think we’re worth more than other people… You support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians… You’re just like the people who persecuted us!” (this comment was from a Jew)
“learn some history. of the 11 million people killed IN THE HOLOCAUST, only about 60% were Jewish. Various minorities were targeted and butchered, all in horrible ways, all targeted for who they were. That’s ON TOP OF the 20-40 MILLION Soviets ALONE who died ending the Holocaust, people for whom for some reason you have contempt. Stop with the “my deaths were more important than your deaths.”
“Actually, Jews were a MINORITY of victims of the Holocaust.“
“how many russians died in WW2,, take a guess. yet we continue to harp on the so called 6 million,,why,, because its good for business thats why,,what business you ask,,the Israel business.,,as long as we continue to throw 6 million at the common people,,those same people will support israel and to me thats a tragedy..“
“Why the focus on Jewish dead? There were a lot more Catholics, Protestants and Russian Orthodox Christians killed in the Twentieth Century than Jews. Also, more than a few of the killers were Jews.“
“more the better! you turds perpetrated one of the biggest hoax’s ever ww11 holocaust.”
There is a powerful message in pulling these comments together as a blog article. Go through the comments again and think about them! What is the message? What is the ignorance or propaganda that drives these comments? What drives the hate behind these comments? How do we stop this without becoming haters ourselves? Silence is not the answer! So what is the answer?
In reading the comments, my first reaction was to get angry, but as more comments came in, I realized the comments represented precisely what would be expected in response to my blog article. These comments confirm the hypothesis that dead Jews are an accepted norm. So I began to look at this as part of my own experimentation and education.
I have my own thoughts on how we, as Jews, face this continuing world of antisemitism or, as I call it, Jew hate. I have ideas, building on what I learned from my parents and other Holocaust survivors and their stories of the hate they faced.
The answer is directly addressing antisemitism, and Jew hate head-on. Every Jewish Federation should have a formal effort to face and address antisemitism within their communities. The learnings of the Holocaust and the testimony of survivors can be built into this. There should be an “Antisemitism Work Group or Committee” in every Jewish Federation.
The best way we can “Never Forget” or honor the memory of the 6 million that perished and those that survived is to focus our efforts on ending antisemitism. Before, during, and after the Holocaust, the Jews of Eastern Europe, my parents included, yearned for a world where Jews were not hated. Jews will never be safe and secure until we focus and succeed in reducing and then eliminating the hate of Jews. That will never happen without focused efforts in each and every local community.
I’m discouraged. I don’t think anti semitism will ever go away. Every day there is more bad news.
Yuck. I’d like to stick my head in the sand
Those mamzers are not fit to be considered human beings.
