Brilliant essay. Some of us got the memo three years ago. Some of us won’t understand the memo until the day they’re killed, and even then they’ll say there’s been a mistake.

Stephen, well done. It is a damned shame that a people that have been able to withstand their attempted destruction by the world's mightiest empires should have to be told to arm up, to protect themselves, to fight back. Is it because the Jews don't want to make waves so they fit into society, gain acceptance? Is it because of the liberal "good Jews" who think that their sole mission in life is to rid the world of evil and injustice? We don't subscribe to the Christian "turn the other cheek". We are not a religion of pacifism. We are not weak and compliant. We are a religion supported throughout history with the greatest of warriors. We have the same blood as young King David who slew Goliath with a mere sling shot and G-d by his side. We are the Maccabees. We are far from stupid so there is no reason we cannot see what the logical results of today's widespread anti-Jew, anti-Israel actions. We know that anti-Semitism by demonstrators lead to violence. Once that violence starts, it spreads-- rapidly. We know that government support of Jew hatred leads to attempted termination.

Israel cannot defend and protect us. Nor can Diaspora Jews defend and protect Israel. We must all fight together so that we survive. Isn't it time, actually past that time, to put on our offensive armor and fight back? The only way to combat violence is violence. It's time to arm ourselves, train and be ready. Buy guns, rifles please. Stock up on ammo. Buy hallow point rounds because they do the best job of ripping apart our enemies. The battle has begun. It's a matter of survival.

You are a healthier culture and have more scholars integrity than the antizionist minor intellectuals and frauds.

You are underestimating the Brown-Green alliance. Look at Tucker Carlson (who just started a 3rd party backed by Elon Musk's billions), Candace Owens, Alex Jones (he recently had an on air reading of the Protocols on his show), Megyn Kelly, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, James Fishback, who is polling quite high, especially amongst the youth, in Florida, the other Jew hating gubernatorial candidate in Ohio who got almost 20% of the Republican vote in the primaries, there was another Republican gubernatorial candidate in California who was equally Jew hating; you are ignoring Thomas Massie who campaigned with the leader of the American Reich, and how he only lost by ten points and is now part of Tucker Carlson's third party, American First. You are ignoring Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and the fact that 51% of Republicans under 30 do not believe the Holocaust happened.

Nonetheless, the main and overwhelming threat to the Jews comes form the left, from the so-called progressive wing of the Democratic Party and its easy echo chamber in the education system, in the arts, in the universities, with the invidious consequence that even young Republicans share their Democratic counterparts' animus against Israel. The Red-Green alliance that twists the liberal idea and conscience against liberal society and against especially the Jews is the far greater threat to Jewish existence than the Brown-Green alliance you mention. Concentrating on the latter only serves to justify to too many Jews their ongoing support of the Democratic Party, one they should abandon en masse and pillory pitilessly. The current mayor of New York should not be allowed to eat a meal in peace.

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

It is coming from both sides. The Right is rising with a speed and intensity that should alarm everyone. Even Senator Ted Cruz is sounding the alarm. Did I mention Kim Iversen, Theo Von, and countless other podcasters? How about Jackson Hinckle? Jack Posobiec has even gone in on the Jew hate. I left the Democrat Party in 2018 because I saw the danger coming from the Left. Then, last year, Tucker Carlson pivoted to making almost all his content about the evils of Jews. And, he had guests on, who have their own podcasts, or companies, or are politicians in their own right. Now he started a 3rd political party back by Elon Musk's billions. Do you know what Replacement Theology is? These guys are Replacement Theologists, and also talk constantly about Jews kill Christ, etc. They are very Medieval, very dangerous. You are in denial if you think we are not under attack from both sides. And the Right scares me more, because with the Left, I can convert to Islam, and pass; with the Right, there is no way to pass because it is about race.

Stephen Schecter's avatar

You are wrong about the Left offering you a safety hatch. In some respects they are even worse, as the history of the Soviet Union ought to remind you. It was the Soviets who allied themselves with the Muslims and taught the Palestinians the advantage of the Zionism as racism card. Jews tend to embrace liberalism and its socialist children, which makes the Left even more dangerous for Jews than the anti-Zionism of the Right, especially today. On top of that, left and right are hardly adequate categories to understand modern society, however useful they are to frame political choices in binary terms. Good luck converting to Islam.

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

I didn't mean the Left offers any kind of safety. I meant, that the Right wing views Jews through the lens of RACE and race is inescapable. Obviously, having to convert to Islam to survive is NOT a safety hatch; but it does mean the difference between life and death. I have been around both hatreds; was even raped by a Syrian muslim in a hate crime; but I also had a third grade teacher who was a literal Nazi, and the depth of hatred she had for me (I was the only Jew in the class) turned my third grade into pure Hell. She even stalked me. I also lost my job because of a Right wing anti-Semite; and was beaten up by a Right wing anti-Semite. Most recently, the farmer from whom I used to buy milk discovered I was Jewish and he went on insane tirade against us (He is a white Trump voter) and threw a jar of milk at me. Mind you, my only crime was being Jewish; recently a Right wing Christian street preacher at a local park asked me if I was Jewish; I said yes, and he chased me down the street, screaming that Ashkenazi Zionists are going to kill all the goyim, that we are killing babies in Gaza, etc. I ran to my car, got in, closed the door, and he pounded on the window shrieking about Zionists. Another Right Winger I know told me in person that the 'Babylonian Talmud" instructs us to kill all Goyim, and that the covid vaccine was invented by Jews to kill all Goyim. A week later, a nephew of a friend told me the same thing, and he is a Right wing white guy, too. Maybe you need to get out of your bubble. Jews are NOT safe in any group. We need each other and to stop seeking protection from politicians. C'mon, Thomas Massie literally campaigned with the leader of the American Reich. And what about Dan Blizerian? You are NUTS if you think the Right offers any semblance of safety or is in any way better than the left.

Margaret's avatar

My God I thought we were way past this ..it's a real shocker to me since Oct 7th. Is this true in Europe as well? It's happening in Canada, in Montreal and Toronto . I heard on CBC that one assault lately was traced back to they said, an organization . Haven't heard anything more.

How deep does the Islamic influence go? Are they behind boycotts and the real neo Nazi vitreol . I have a feeling yes.

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

OMG! Are you discounting Nazi Germany? Stalin was bad, but you are leaving out THE FINAL SOLUTION? Boy you are working for someone, or else you have lost all capacity for rational thought. Please, stop wasting your time on responding to me, it only depresses me to read such nonsense. In the meantime, go hug a Republican or something.

Margaret's avatar

How deeply did the Nazi influence sink into Middle Eastern Islamic culture?

Aimee Samana's avatar

Very deeply. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (appointed by the British) led a regiment for the Nazis and was anxious to extend and accomplish the Final Solution to the Middle East. He was only stopped by the Allied victory. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt even before WWII, and became radicalized in the 1930’s. P.S.- copies of Mein Kampf were found in homes in Gaza.

Meanwhile, on a positive note to give us hope, 40 organizations have come together to fight the information war globally. The mountains of misinformation that fuels antisemitism and antizionism is finally being challenged with truth. Includes Jewish Onliner here on substack. First target is the genocide lie. First post revisits Mamdani’s lies in October 2023 before the IDF entered Gaza on Oct 27.

Margaret's avatar

So agree from Canada.

It's actually a betrayal of liberal and leftist values imo.

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

You should repeated yourself. I am wondering if you are a propagandist for the Republican party? You’d have to be totally blind to not see that the Woke Reich poses a grave danger to Jews. I have had personal experience with both hatreds. And both are equally dangerous. Bernard Henri’-Levy wrote about this the other day; as has Tablet Magazine, Algemeiner, JNS.org, JTA.com, etc. One faction other than the Replacement Theologists is the Right Wing Catholic group. Just read lifesitenews or listen to conservative Catholic Radio, they are nuts with hatred of us. Please don’t think you are going to change my mind by repeating outdated information. I am convinced that Jews who only point the finger at the Left are propagandists for the Right; or else they are TOTALLY deaf, blind and clueless.

Margaret's avatar

How unique to the US are the Catholic and Christian extremists?

Dave's avatar

The right wing Republicans are scary but they aren't in power. The real threat is from the Left right now. The new membership requirement of the Democratic Party is Antisemitism.

Brown /Green. I'm thinking Ka Ka and vomit .

Margaret's avatar

The fact that these utter hacks and ignorant creatures have any media traction and popularity imo speaks to a serious cultural decline. Americans , you have to examine more than events themselves . You have to examine your ideology, your systems, the educational disparities and the quality of education. People like that, at least to my knowledge, have very little appeal to Canadians. We usually think they must be Americans! This is why Pollievre is not catching on, one reason anyway. Too American!

Jews in the diaspora are exactly like the German Jews who were certain that their own country would never turn on them.

Goodness people, just one year before I was born survivors of the camps were still dying, stuck on the Exodus in the Mediterranean, trying to get permission to enter Israel! How is this so quickly forgotten? How can any Jew be so naive??

Dave's avatar

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorists were armed, the Israelis massacred were defenseless. The unanswered question is why did Israel disarm its citizens most of whom are IDF veterans and leave them vulnerable to mass rape and murder by Hamas? An incredibly stupid decision and the Israeli government was clearly culpable. Every Jewish family in Israel (and the US) should have a 9 mm handgun for every adult, an AR15 rifle and plenty of ammunition for both. Every adult and teenage member of the family should be proficient in their use. Every adult should carry their handgun concealed at all times. Have anti-gun Jewish politicians in both countries learned nothing from the Holocaust and the continuing attacks? Isn't it time for the Jewish people to tell them to go fuck themselves?

Alan, aka DudeInMinnetonka's avatar

Ben Gvir started a civilian defense corps and is arming civilians.

I'm uncertain to the irrationality of the gun laws compared to the clarity of Americas in comparison to Israel's, soldiers are in possession of weapons and that explains the instantaneous ceasing to breathe of most of the attackers, they're dead within seconds when Street attacks occur, but I'd like clarity as you suggested

9mm don't hit hard enough. .40's are better at stopping people.

Jules's avatar

Unfortunately I’ve come to the same conclusion. I’m now seeing open calls for the genocide of Jews coming from Americans in their teens and twenties with little pushback. I’m not Jewish (or Christian or Muslim), but I’m terrified of the growing number of Muslim Brotherhood socialists gaining political power. Everyone just shrugs and says “better than Trump/AIPAC.” It is beyond horrifying and I’ll never stop backing Jews, the scapegoat of the morally weak and intellectually lazy.

Israel must drop the ambiguity about her nuclear program and state that if going down to her destruction, she will take as much of the world as possible down with her.

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

The Samson Option is known, maybe not by the general public, but by other govts.

דָּוִד יוֹסֵף's avatar

Definite truth. Every civilized nation that ignores the signs are accomplices. Every individual on this planet needs to fight for and with Israel. The insanity is unparalleled and must be eliminated.

I guarantee that my soul will die fighting for the free state of Israel by all means necessary.

The Red-Green alliance has infected humanity with Islam as the primary instigating party with the useful idiots aligned with them in their hatred and ignorance. Their usefulness will be their death. Their open-border beliefs will destroy them.

The conquest of Islam is far from over and unless the world strikes back there won't be a single infedel left.

The UK, France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Australia and others have fallen via their conquest and America is right behind them.

Islamic countries pushing their conquest of the West must be eliminated immediately.

The modernism comes from the Fabians

Gnosticism is the root of modernism

Gnostic ideology is implicitly anti-Jewish

Lloyd DeJonhg on youtube has excellent vids on gnsticism. Gnonscence and Ghosticism I think. I also have an excellent book about gnosticism in ancient Egypt. What if the pharaohs controlled thew people through fake alien invasions. Or visitations?

When you know what to look for, the entire bible turns into a giant warning about how not to get sucked into cults controlled by people. It's kinda obvious

Alan, aka DudeInMinnetonka's avatar

James Lindsey did an episode modern gnosticism too, the episode you recommended was great

dave's avatar

That video is when I realized what gnosticism was. Up until then, I knew evrything about it, except that it was an actualy named thing.

Until the Lindsay video, I thought it was the Nazis and found the JL video from a tkhistory. ?This video is good also,

Luna Basheve-Singer's avatar

The whole trans thing is gnostic, right?

dave's avatar

Yes. Gnosticism is a dualist ideology. There is no one gnosticism, but generally anything opposing the Jewish worldview, eg God created man and women, so gnostics believe that spirits are androgynous and trapped in material bodies. Ultimately, they believe that there should be no material universe...so it's a death cult

Says it exactly as it is

Thank you.

Why all this equivocating?

"Never Again" died on October 7th, but had long been on life support.

The only response you need of anybody is their view on October 7.

The acid test.of anybody's character and trustworthiness.

You covered everything that matters. My eyes were open knowing my parents' generation history. In the aftermath of WWI most Jews were Bundists. It was the most popular ideology in Europe. Bund believed they could preserve their Jewish identity, heritage, traditions, culture, Yiddish as a Jewish national language and “coexist” with non-Jews. Bund was legal. The cruel fact is, Bund proved to be a failed ideology, mistakenly believing in coexistence, that Jews were safe in Europe.

How do we resist? Buy more guns? We need to band together and take it to the streets. We need leaders.

Margaret's avatar

Stephen , the antizionist campaign is a genocidal campaign. The so called Palestinian resistance has a genocidal goal. Every military and propaganda operation has as its ultimate or primary goal, the annihilation of Israelis. This in the Charters, in many public statements, in the massacres perpetrated by their militias.

This should be addressed as an international criminal matter, imo. There is far more solid evidence of Palestinian 'intent' to commit genocide, than South Africa has against Israel, imo as a non lawyer.
