Every hour, something is being said about Israel or Zionism, equally antisemitic.
Countries like Italy are now trying to cancel Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2026 or prevent their own countries from entering. This Includes Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, etc.
What I find problematic is that JD Vance continues to make controversial statements on Israel.
Is he just another antisemite or anti- zionist?
Recently, a Christian group of over 1 million members has decided to call Israel an apartheid country. This is so insane and has no basis in reality because Israel is comprised of peoples of a plethora of ethnic and religious backgrounds without suffering discrimination. You can find Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bahai, and so on, all working, studying, receiving or providing equal medical attention; just living side by side. How dare this group accuse Israel of apartheid? Everyone residing in Israel has access to the same busses, trains, medical treatment , and education.
Unfortunately there are groups comprised of so-called ‘Jews’ such as Code Pink who profess to love Palestinians (even the terrorists amongst them) and who want them freed even after the Oct 7 Massacre and the continuous terrorist attacks. “After this incident, only those who harbor antisemitic bias themselves can question whether Code Pink is an anti-Jewish hate group,” commented CJV Vice President Rabbi Ze’ev Smason.
We, the Jewish people are also confronted with other such groups as If Not Now. They also claim to be made up of Jews, while many of them are not They sing the same tune blaming Israel and Netanyahu now for what happened in Australia.
I think perhaps there should be in the Jewish religion a method to remove them from Judaism?.
As regards Zionism vs Antisemitism, it was made clear by the late Reverend Martin Luther King. He did not hesitate to label anti-Zionist remarks as antisemitic. On one occasion, when speaking to African-American students at Harvard, he heard an anti-Zionist remark from one of them. According to reports of the incident, Dr. King “snapped at him” and said, “Don’t talk like that! When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking about antisemitism.”
Several liberal-leaning Jewish groups, including J Street, a liberal Zionist advocacy and lobby group, condemned the expansion of the travel ban created by President Trump to prevent terrorists from entering the US.
