Updated Below. We all had hoped that the phrase “Never Again” would squelch massive outbreaks of antisemitism. Yet here we are a few short days after Hamas attacked and slaughtered Israeli civilians, and pustules of Jew hatred are springing up everywhere.

Carol wrote about how the Democratic Socialists of America held protests on Times Square in New York on Sunday. They attracted hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who rejoiced at the carnage in Israel, shouting things like this:

It is right to rebel! Israel, go to hell!

5-6-7-8, Palestine is ours to take!

Resistance is justified when people are oppressed!

But it didn’t stop in NYC, which has the largest population of Jews outside of Israel. Palestinian rage and antisemitism spread to Sydney, Australia, where protesters shouted “gas the Jews.”

We are on our way to a second Holocaust. They want to erase the Jewish population.

In London on Monday night, demonstrators in kaffiyehs who waved Palestinian flags and lit flares massed outside the Israeli embassy.

5000 Hamas supporters protest outside the Israeli embassy In London. Imagine protesting against Israel in favor of Hamas who just documented THEMSELVES murdering and raping Israeli women and children? Sick people

And here in the United States, two Congresswomen can’t contain their antisemitism, despite the atrocities occurring in Israel.

The Antisemitism of Tlaib and Omar

Rep. Rashida Tlaib has been flying the Palestinian flag outside her Congressional office for some months now. But despite the brutality happening now in Israel, the flag has remained. It’s a middle finger to decent people who are appalled at the actions of Hamas.

After the attacks began, Tlaib shed crocodile tears for “the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day.” But she didn’t condemn Hamas. Instead she continued with her “apartheid” labeling of the nation of Israel while defending her flag:

I’m proud to be a Palestinian American and I want the Palestinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid. No one can erase our existence.

But she would love the erase Jews from existence, as would her cohort Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar’s true colors came out on Monday when she said that the US sending military aid to Israel amounted to supporting a “war crime.”

The Israeli Defense Minister has called Palestinians ‘human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gaza.

This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order …

Instead of continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel, I urge the United States at long last to use its diplomatic might to push for peace.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) would have none of this nonsense. He fired back:

Israel was just brutally attacked by terrorists, funded by Iran, and you want to cut off funding and military aid and equipment. 

You are out of your mind and unfit to serve in the House of Representatives. This is why you were removed from the Foreign Affairs committee.

Antisemitism is also oozing from the hallowed halls of academia and the swamp of social media.

Academia Celebrates “Decolonization”

Writer Peter Savodnik, contributor to The Free Press, exposed the hypocrisy of academia who cried for George Floyd yet have no sympathy for butchered Israeli babies:

Decolonization is about dreaming and fighting for a present and future free of occupied Indigenous territories,” Jairo Fúnez-Florez, an assistant professor at Texas Tech, posted. “It’s about a Free Palestine. It’s about liberation and self-determination. It’s about living with dignity.

And …

Columbia student groups called the attack on Israel “an unprecedented historic moment for the Palestinians of Gaza, who tore through the wall that has been suffocating them.”

A joint statement issued by dozens of Harvard student organizations declared “the Israeli regime” is “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” 

“Shabbat shalom and may every colonizer fall everywhere,” wrote Barnaby Raine, who received his PhD in history from Columbia and now teaches at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research.

Savodnik concluded:

We should listen closely to these latter-day Bolsheviks and their many enablers. They are being honest. They are saying exactly what they believe and what they want to see happen.

Which means the next time some academic or media personality on cable blithely informs us that Palestine must be liberated “from the river to the sea”—that means from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, i.e., the whole of the Jewish state—we should ask them whether they are okay with all the girls who will be raped, all the old people and toddlers who will be mowed down or strung up. We should ask if they believe that as a “settler-colonialist” entity, the United States awaits a similar fate.

As Bari Weiss, editor of The Free Press, wrote on Tuesday: When People Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them.

Weiss appeared with Bret Baier and Dana Perino on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” calling out academics and celebrities who bleat that “speech is violence,” yet fail to acknowledge the butchery in Israel:

DAY 4: THE WAR ON ISRAEL – BARI WEISS REACTS

Fear grows as Hamas threatens to execute hostages, says they will show online. 1,000+ killed and 3,400+ wounded.

Antisemitism Lurks Among Alt-Right “Christians”

Unfortunately, the progressive Left doesn’t own antisemitism. It skulks on the so-called “Christian” right, too.

Take, for example, the hateful creature Nick Fuentes, who’s popular among the “Groyper” alt-right crowd. Fuentes claims to be Catholic, but his views towards Jews and Israel are hardly exemplary of Jesus’s command to love your neighbors.

Last November Fuentes showed up at Mar-a-Lago as a guest of Donald Trump, which raised a lot of eyebrows. I seriously doubt that Trump is an antisemite — considering his son-in-law is Jewish and his daughter has converted — but it wasn’t a good look for Trump to be hosting this person.

In addition, a so-called Lutheran by the name of Corey Mahler regularly spews his antisemitism at X. Mahler is also a white nationalist, believes that slavery is not wrong, that Adolf Hitler was a Christian, and that Jews … well, his pinned post says this:

You do not hate Israel nearly enough.

Mahler still considers himself to be a member of the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod, although his pastor and congregation excommunicated him several months ago. As a lifelong member of the LCMS — which formally condemned the antisemitic writings of Martin Luther decades ago — I’m pleased his pastor forbid him from partaking in the Sacrament. Unfortunately Mahler has many followers on X.

How Did This All Start?

I have recently begun following the Substack account of Ryan McBeth. McBeth, a US Army veteran, describes himself as an “Author, journalist, OSINT Intelligence Analyst, Programmer, Cyber Guy.” He’s also adept at analyzing disinformation on social media, as well as breaking down events in Ukraine, and now in Israel.

Recently he posted a five-minute video on the origins of the Israel-Palestine conflict. In short, you can lay a lot of the blame for the blood shed for land at the feet of the British in World War I (think “Lawrence of Arabia.”)

Due to these machinations, in some ways the Great War has never ended.

This current revival of antisemitism is beyond just the partitioning of land, however. It’s about hatred of the Jewish people, and the monstrous desire to see them wiped from civilization.

As Bari Weiss wrote:

Now we know who would have looked at Jews shoved onto cattle cars and said, “Well, they did undermine the German economy.” Those are the people today saying: “This is a justified response to the provocation of Israel existing.” Now we know whose politics are rooted not in conservatism or liberalism or anything else other than simply hating Jews. Now we can see exactly how people manage to always come up with a reason for why the Jews deserved it. 

UPDATE: 

On Tuesday evening, a reporter from Fox News confronted Rashida Tlaib about the atrocities committed by Hamas upon Israelis. The typically loudmouthed Congresswoman had nothing to say.
