EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). Many social groups have in recent years tried to redefine America, placing themselves at the top, starting with BLM during the pandemic and all other, mostly minuscule “identity” groups. They have all failed because America is not about the “exceptionalism” or the “pre-eminence” of this or the other group. America is about equal rights for all citizens under the law – very much in the same concept first applied in ancient Athens and later fully formulated by Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.
Among the loud groups that think they are more special than the rest of us, the Jewish Americans excel. But first, let me clarify that I am not generalizing here because many Jewish-Americans are opposing such practices. As someone who studied ethnicity in-depth, I can assure you that generalizing hides bias and usually ends in false statements and practicing discrimination and racism or reverse racism. But this is mostly what we witnessed in Congress today as the House passed an insane “anti-semitism” bill, supposedly against discrimination but in effect practicing reverse discrimination, very much as the BLM and DEI practices did the last few years.
The “geniuses” of the House (most of them in the pocket of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee – AIPAC) rushed to legislate harsh punishments against anti-semitism without even bothering to define what they mean by the term “antisemitism”!! They left it to a nefarious organization, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) a private group who could change their definition anytime they choose.
This opens the door to great irrationality. Remember when they said that criticizing anything George Soros does is antisemitic? Do these Congressmen and Jewish organizations also take into account that the practice of canceling SAT tests and other objective admission practices has backfired, and now Ivy League Schools are re-introducing them? Do they realize that even the powerful Blackrock is forced to reconsider their DEI practices? Why do they think they can legislate opinions and feelings? Are they so arrogant? Yes, they are…
I think that global Jewish organizations are acting in panic. They spent over 75 years since WWII shoving down our throats that the Holocaust deserves special treatment than, let’s say, the Armenian Genocide or the Hellenic Genocides of Asia Minor or other genocides in Africa and Asia. In doing so, Israel, supported by global Jewish groups, demanded and received extraordinary compensation from Germany – even military equipment for free, supposedly to protect them, but part of which is now used to kill Palestinians or attack others in the Middle East.
Greece, in addition to having suffered genocides from the Ottoman Turks (note: Do not expect Elpidophoros ever to mention this expression), lost over 10% of its population or about 800.000 people during WWII and the German occupation. Hundreds of towns and villages were burnt to the ground. This is personal to me: I was born in a town of 90,000 people, mostly refugees from Asia Minor (Nikea of Pireaus). On August 16, 1944, the Germans gathered all males above age 12 in the main square and executed 200 on the spot. About 10,000 were made to walk to a military camp ten miles away. Two thousand of them were sent by train to the infamous Dachau concentration camp in Germany. Very few, less than one hundred, came back- physically and mentally ill… As I was growing up in the 1960s, I could see 40-year-old men wandering like zombies in the streets. I later understood why…
Yet still today, the Israeli Parliament, Knesset, refuses to recognize the Armenian or the Greek Genocide!! They are constantly reminded that the term “genocide” was first coined for the Armenian genocide, but they believe that recognizing it will take away from the focus on the Holocaust!! (The Jewish-American organizations did the same for decades, but recently, they finally saw the writing on the wall in recent years and recognized them). And they refuse to give a helping hand to Greece to recover the hundreds of billions of reparations from Germany. Well, when you see yourself as the only victim of crimes against humanity, don’t you think that others will eventually resent your arrogant attitude?
Arrogance is the worst of all vices. Without exception, life itself always punishes it, and the punishment is usually brutal. Not only this unjustified law will be demolished instantly by the Supreme Court, but the policy of Jewish “exceptionalism” will backfire; if the Jewish leaders do not come to their senses soon, the will pay an unbearable price. YOU CAN NOT LEGISLATE EMOTIONS; YOU CAN ONLY INSPIRE THEM.
As my mother and many of my teachers used to tell me: “Respect is not demanded and imposed – it is earned and inspired!!”

============
House Rushes Through Insane “Working Definition of Antisemitism” Bill That Says “Anti-Zionism Is Anti-Semitism”
That four-eyed cocksucker Mike Johnson refused to explain whether or not there is any form of protest against Israel that is not “antisemitism.” He wouldn’t say with a straight face, in his interview with Erin Burnett, that it’s his belief that all opposition to Israeli policy is “antisemitism.”
Now, he’s gone ahead and rushed through a bill making it into law that any and all criticism of Israel is “antisemitism,” which is apparently now illegal in America.
The US House of Representatives has voted to pass an antisemitism awareness bill, a controversial measure sponsored by a New York Republican amid controversy over pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses in Manhattan and across the US, as Israel’s war with Hamas drags on.
The bill passed 320-91 with some bipartisan support.
Mike Lawler’s bill will “provide for the consideration of a definition of antisemitism set forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws concerning education programs or activities, and for other purposes”.
These Jews have been pushing the IHRA definition for years, and it’s been ruled illegal in the United States.
It basically goes through and says that any form of criticism of any action by any Jew is a hate crime. This is, of course, how the term has been used by Jews since forever.
Remember when they said that criticizing anything George Soros does is antisemitic?
The entire concept of “antisemitism” is a hoax. No one in history has ever hated the Jews for no reason. The reason people dislike or criticize Jews is always a result of Jewish behavior.
The IHRA definition basically just admits that, while vaguely claiming that people don’t really disagree with Jewish behavior, they just claim to disagree with Jewish behavior because they hate Jews for no reason.
That is what all of these Jews and government officials are saying right now: no one is actually opposed to the genocide in Gaza, they just claim to be opposed to it because they hate Jews for no reason. That’s real. That’s actually what they’re saying.
Democrats opposed it as a messaging bill meant simply to boost Republicans on a hot-button issue and trap Democrats into taking politically awkward votes.
The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the bill, telling members: “Federal law already prohibits antisemitic discrimination and harassment by federally funded entities.
“[The bill] is therefore not needed to protect against antisemitic discrimination; instead, it would likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism.”
Well, at least there are some Jews who see the way this is going to spiral out of control and lead to mass pogroms.
The Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP), which “works to ensure a just, secure and peaceful future for Palestinians and Israelis”, has defined the shifting meaning of “antisemitism” in US political discourse.
“Traditionally,” the FMEP says, “‘antisemitism’ has meant hostility and prejudice toward Jews because they are Jews – a scourge that has imperiled Jews throughout history, and is a source of resurgent threats to Jews today.
“In recent years there has been an energetic effort to redefine the term to mean something else. This new definition – known today as the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s ‘working definition of antisemitism’, is explicitly politicised, refocusing the term to encompass not only hatred of Jews, but also hostility toward and criticism of the modern state of Israel.”
Why would anyone be against Jews “because they are Jews”?
It doesn’t make any sense.
I’m supposed to be the arch antisemite, and yet I have no issue with Norman Finkelstein or Glenn Greenwald (actually, with the latter I take issue with him being gay).
No one, ever, at any point in all of history, has been opposed to Jews “because they are Jews.” That has never happened, ever. All opposition to Jews has been the result of Jewish behavior. Period. Zero exception.
“Antisemitism” is a gigantic scam, designed to allow the Jews to claim victimhood when people respond to their heinous behavior with outrage.
To be clear, this doesn’t make my website illegal – although that is presumably coming soon.
What this bill is designed to do is cut federal funding to any university that allows students to protest against the Israeli military actions.
This is very, very extreme. It is actually nonviable. There is no amount of force that can stop these protests. People are very angry about this ongoing massacre.
Bibi is saying that he’s going into Rafah soon, which will more than double the civilian casualties. He’s also saying he’s planning to invade Lebanon. As you know, this is all about escalating to a US war with Iran – that’s the reason Bibi let October 7th happen in the first place.
The idea that the government can use force to shut down protests to all of this is simply insane. It’s possible that Israel didn’t foresee this kind of a backlash in the US. I don’t know. This is all very sloppy. If I wanted the protests to escalate, this is what I would have done. But the Jews and the US government feel that they are invincible, that they can force anything on anyone, and that is the working assumption for every action they take.
It’s not going to work.

Taylor Greene: Antisemitism bill rejects ‘Gospel’ that Jews handed Jesus to executioners | The Times of Israel

Why did the people choose Barabbas over Jesus? After so many centuries, are we still choosing Barabbas over Jesus?
[VIDEO] Jesus Barabbas or Jesus The Christ (youtube.com)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPQaNU4Vj1k
Why is the character of Barabbas so offensive to people who identify as Jews? It seems as if anyone who posts a negative view of them is immediately silenced.
Why is that?
Under Pontius Pilate, the Jews were given a choice, free Barabbas or “Jesus who is called the Christ.”
The Jews chose to free Barabbas.
MTG Cites Antisemitic Fable Jews ‘Handed Over’ Jesus To Be Killed (talkingpointsmemo.com)
“Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” Greene wrote.
Etymology
Christ comes from the Greek word χριστός (chrīstós), meaning “anointed one”. The word is derived from the Greek verb χρίω (chrī́ō), meaning “to anoint.”[13] In the Greek Septuagint, χριστός was a semantic loan used to translate the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, messiah), meaning “[one who is] anointed”.

Headline” Israeli Apartheid” compared to Holocaust …Declaration of the Presbyterian Church of America ….
The resolutions called “Christian Zionist doctrine heretical and idolatrous and compared Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.”
The US Presbyterian Church’s International Engagement committee voted overwhelmingly to recognize that “Israel’s laws, policies and practices regarding the Palestinian people fulfill the international legal definition of apartheid,” as they had determined that Palestinians were systematically oppressed through inhuman acts for the objective of racial domination.
The resolution claimed that there were two sets of laws for Israelis and Palestinians, which are preferential for the former and oppressive to the latter. It also asserted that Palestinian land and water were stolen for use by “Jewish-only settlements” and that Palestinians were denied freedom of residence and movement, living in “separate reserves and ghettos,” echoing language used in the resolution passed on the same subject at the North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) state convention on June 18. 2023.
