‘Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024

‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970

    Such is the nature of left antisemitism: you must always read between the lines.

    For example, a user by the name of Anarcho-Bolshevik once commented ‘Every Jew is like a precious lamb to me. (Except for Netanyahu and anybody who supports him… those people are awful.)’

    You shall see, gentlemen, that this is, without question, the single most antisemitic comment ever written, for a few simple reasons:

    • Calling Jews ‘precious’, which puts a price on them, so she or he is actually saying that all Jews are commodities. Strike one.
    • Comparing Jews to animals frequently intended for consumption, thereby implying that she or he wants to eat all Jews, as anybody could logically deduce from that. Strike two.
    • Saying that anybody who supports Netanyahu is awful, but supporting the war on Gaza supports Netanyahu, and 99.99% of Jews are Zionists, which means that they support the war on Gaza, so she or he is really saying that all Jews are awful. Strike three.

    Now you will understand the reasons which have led countries to persecute and isolate those leftists marked by the stigma of their antisemitism. The domination of such leftists within society is disturbing and dangerous for the destiny of the nation.

    “Antisemitism is a disease carried by barbarians” in “all civilized societies,” said Netanyahu.

    ‘All civilized societies’ except for the ‘State of Israel’, I presume?

    As much as I loathe antisemitism, the harsh truth is that it can manifest in formal ways as well as informal ones. Kevin B. MacDonald is a good example, and pro-Axis intellectuals like David Irving are almost notorious for frustrating Shoah survivors with difficult questions. Intellectual antisemitism is still bullshit of course, but it is a problem that has to be acknowledged; dealing with it is not as easy as it sounds.

    I know that this is not the most obvious issue with this conference, but it is an omission that too many overlook when Herzlians pretend to care about antisemitism. Acknowledging the complexities of a problem is a good indication that you take it seriously, which settlers like Netanyahu certainly don’t.
