Tell me about it, the N is way to small, you just read the same thing over and over again, nobody engages, and there is widespread Jew hatred on the platform

Isn't it odd that so many people who can recite that it is racist to demand that a Muslim renounce an Middle Eastern State or understand that token Blacks for Trump do not remove Trump's racism and yet here we are....

I envy you your confidence, between those two events I have lost all hope in modern politics.

I cannot believe I have lived to see Democrats saying this to Republicans. For decades the Right lectures everyone else about limited government and state rights, until here we are.

Certainly religious hate crimes are half as common as race hate crimes, but the US is about 40% non-white, while Jews make up 2% of the population and make up the majority of religious based hate crimes. www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/h...

I think you really need to educate yourself on how vast anti-semtitic attacks had become even before Oct 7th 2023. www.statista.com/topics/4178/....

Okay instead of telling me what to read could you tell me how you measure marginization? How do you make your determination that say a Female Jew from Israel today is less marginized then a African American or a Trans?

I am sure the entier staff at Fox News eats Mexican food, if they need work around the hose done they go to find day workers without demanding residency information, and they would date a migrant if they could. Hatred is always hypocritical

I simply have to note that you posted this about a week ago, one of the few people who did. Nobody followed up on it, nobody seems to have reposted it, no discussion no concern for the genocide UAE is carrying out with US and UK arms.
Seems non-Jews are free to carry out genocides
comment in response to

And all of it being backed by UAE, which gets 100% of its military from US and UK.
But remember, there are no Jews involved, so most people could care less.
comment in response to
post
Actually bullsh:t, you utterly ignorant and wrong. It has been next to impossible to get aid into Sudan and UAE, which gets all its military supplies for the US and UK, is a principle part of that.
This just shows the extent to which people blieves non-sense to hate Jews, pure and simple.

Well most Zionists are Christians because Zionism is perfect valid point of view and there are vastly more Christians than Jews.
But perhaps you could point me to an example of Christian church or institution or even person being attacked for being Zionist?

Once again I use the term tw@t for both gender, for example you are a tw@t, for father was a tw@t his father was a tw@t and I am sure that going back to the first seuxal reproducing organism is a unborken line of male tw@ts

I have mixed with hundreds and hundreds of Jewish people since Oct 7th and spoken to them about their concerns of exploding anti-semitism, I have called almost ever temple in London to hear what they have to say, I don't need YOUR approval
comment in response to
post
Right now, statistically, Jews in America are the number 1 victims of hate crimes. I am not entirely sure what 'marginalized' means and I like to use terms I can define and measure, and victim of hate crime can be counted
comment in response to
post
I hear over and over again from people openly supporting and promoting anti-semitism that 'they know some Jew somehwere' I am as impressed by this as I am by Blacks for Trump.
There are always self haters in every ethnic group, I hate being Catholic myself, I don't make a career out of it.
comment in response to
post
There is simply no question that after Oct 7th the massive western obsession on Gaza has resulted in a massive increase in violence against Jews. We even have a man who just murdered 2 Jews chanting 'Free, Free Palestine.'
comment in response to
post
So the fact I am talking to you means I am at the kids table? That would explain it.
Again wondering what you think about Black people who support Trump, some of them have pretty impressive CVs.
comment in response to
post
Do you think I give a f@ck about some people who watch Jews being hunted on the streets of American by Gazan protestors and say 'its equally Zionists faults'
As I said, I don't respect Blacks for Trump either do you?
comment in response to
post
Thank god I don't know here, I don't personally know any Blacks for Trump but I know they are full of it and I don't respect them.
She said that antisemtism is equal if not worse on the Zionist side in this conflict, I don't want to know more
comment in response to
post
I am not going to apologize to her, I did but I take it back, she is deeply dishonest. She wants people to think that she is deeply conerned about antisemitism while still holding that it is not higher on the Gazan side, I would not aplogize to a Black for Trump and I won't apologize to her,

In the UK I have been covering this issue for 15 years, as one would expect CoVid triggered latent antisemitism, but Oct 7th really set it on fire.
comment in response to
post
In the US in the year after OCt 7th antisemtitic incidents increase over 350% with 1 in 3 Jews reporting being victims of antismeitism. So why was this? Pro-Israelis being made at Jews?

comment in response to

Its not even as if Oct 7th is an isolated incident. July 2014 was the last major Gaza issue which saw the last dramatic explosion. So you tell me why does antisemitic hatred spike in the UK when something happens in Gaza? Is this Zionists attacking Jews?
comment in response to
post
These are the number of monthly antisemtiic incidents reported in the UK, explain the extreme spike?
comment in response to
post
Let me make my assertion very claear. Since 2010 there has been a dramatic increase in anti-semitism in the west. But that since Oct 7th 2023 there has been a massive increase in hostility against Jews, with large number of people thinking that Zionism excuses hatred towards Jews
True or not?
comment in response to

As I said I am utterly unimpressed, I have been told false things by academics all my life and every professor I ever had could tell you a stroy of being told something wrong. I remember being told that Machine Learning would never be able to process NL, that the USSR would never collapse....

I want a ceasefire as well, but there is a massive difference between wanting a negotiated ceasefire with makes sure the hostages are released and Hamas can never again attack Israrel and shouting Free, Free Palestine now isn't there/

There is a funny thing about Evangelicals. Yes Evangelicals are even more Zionist than Jews in America. But you tell me, has a single Evangelical Church, or Frat house, or convention or event or even person been targetting by Pro-Gaza radicals for being Zionist?
One anywhere?
comment in response to

In the 2024 election Turmp got roughly the same African American vote as the percentage of American Jews who are anti-Zionists. So are we suppose to believe them as well? Actually Jewish support for Zionism is one of the highest ethnic identity beleives of any community in America
comment in response to
post
And the term Blacks for Trump means they have a community as well.
Just wondering how either you are different than a Black for Trump, or do you think the rest of us should be impressed by a tiny minority of Blacks who support Trump?
comment in response to
post
In fact I am sorry that I said I am sorry to you, and you are beyond just a liar you lied to me. You are dismissing the explosion in Jew hatred by the Gaza supporters, you are not only a Black for Trump Kappo, but you are a liar and a fraud
comment in response to

I just read Mia saying that the antisemtisim on the side supporting Israel in this war is as bad as that against Israel.
I would be interested in hearing how this is different than Blacks for Trump OR how Blacks for Trump have valid opinions.
comment in response to
post
Actually I take it back, you are utter trash, I know what 90% of the world's Jews think about you, I can only imagine what your own family thinks about you because, unlike most of the people you engage in here, I actually have lots of Jewish contacts. Your just a Black for Trump.

Well Kants categorical imperative was always an interest of mine in Uni. My Masters Degree was in Agency formation on Social Media in a Global context, and I am currently working in Agentic AI. So you could say I am a 'scholar' on agency.
I would never dream of using that as an excuse though
comment in response to

To give an analogy in the 1990s I was at a conference in AI with Marvin Minsky as the keynote speaker. Minsky and everyone at the conference agreed, Deep Machine Learning was a fraud and would never get anywhere.
So does that mean ChatGPT does not work?
comment in response to
post
Hmmm well you see I have a MA degree and have spend much of my life with all kinds of reaserchers, and one of the things about researchers is that any opinion you want to have you can find a PhD which hold that opinion. So the 'they are a scholar' oinion does not hold much water for me.

Junior, I have been tracking the rise in Anti-semtiism closely since the early 2010s when I worked a a journalist in London covering Leftist politics. I saw the massive rise under the Corbyn leadership and then saw the levels of violence inclrease during CoVid, this is a subject I know well
comment in response to
post
I am not denying Jew agency, in fact I think you don't understand what that word means. I am saying that ANYONE who denies that the Gaza protest movement is causing an explosion in Jew hate in the West is a tw@t (which i use to men and women by the way) , its only a Jew who does it make me mader
comment in response to
post
The explosion in hatred towards Jews since Oct 7th is a singular event in my lifetime, I remember 9-11 and I have never seen anything like this. In one week 2 terrorist attacked happened in the US aiming to kill Jews because of Gaza. In 1 f@cking WEEK.
comment in response to
post
Its not a complex claim: Oct 7th happened, right away the number of anti-semtitic attacks in almost all western nations doubled. The man who set the Jews on fire in Colorado was not made about them owning the banks or the guy who shot the 2 Jews in DC was not mad they owned the media.
comment in response to
post
I went through my mind today and counted the number of Jews I know very well who are still alive, the mumber is about 35. Some of them are very hostile to Israel, some are not, most are indifferent.
ALL, and this should include all JEWS, are AWARE people are targetting them becuase of Gaza
comment in response to
post
Well if you going to push it, any Jew who does not make utterly clear that this obsesson with Gaza in the west is 100% antisemitism and that it is 100% behind the current explosion in antisemtisim I have no respect for them and see them as, well as Blacks for Trump essentially.
comment in response to
post
Do you promise to make the same rule for everyone else? So Blacks in America who support Trump need to be respected and not opposed? How about Muslim Converts who want to outlaw islam? Does this apply to any minority or are jews special.
comment in response to
post
Well actually I don't give a fuck about you, looking over your thread you are extremely vague and I am 100% certain that lots of people who want to believe that their Gaza obsessions are not fueling antisemitism take comfort in you 'Good Jew' posts so you ain't getting any more than that.
comment in response to
post
Well if you are going to push that YES. Any Jew who is ANY WAY denies that the current explosion of Anti-Semitism since Oct 7, beyond its previous CoVid raise, is somehow not related to Gaza protests is a KAPO. Yes I will stand by that.
Its simple objective reality.
