Emil Durkheim wrote that Jew hatred is like slashing water with a knife. Here we are post Holocaust still slashing with that knife.  Today we are told that anti-Zionism; attacking the Jewish state of Israel, (Israel has 0.11% of the world’s population the only Jewish state in the world out …

A Times of Israel story recently reported festively, “YouTube removes Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam channel.”  According to the story, YouTube announced that it has “strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and [will] terminate any channel that repeatedly or egregiously violates those policies.”  Two lines later, however, you read …

Online antisemitism is nothing new but now it seems to be widely targeting our vulnerable youth more than ever before.  Hidden under false identities, haters freely reveal prejudice, bigotry, and antisemitic views across virtually all the unruled space of social media. Teenagers who identify as Jewish complain of constant hostility …

Let’s take another look at antisemitism. First the bad news: As long as there is one Jew alive there will be antisemitism. Now the good news: As long as there is one Jew alive there will be antisemitism. According to the number of Jews in Roman times, there should be …

The Covid-19 virus has produced sickness and death, turmoil and disruption, around the world. It is a silent stalker of human fragility. But it has brought with it another virus, an older but virile plague, one with no known cure, and no limits to the amount of dead bodies it …

For months now Britain has been roiling in its Brexit woes. Theresa May resigned (or was she pushed?) and the race is now on to choose a new Prime Minister. The internal voting amongst Tory MPs is now over and the choice is down to two men, one of whom …

In their zeal to avoid accepting any kind of Zionism ever, anywhere, any time or any place, the anti-Zionists (yeah, lets call them antisemites for short) are turning themselves inside out and devouring their own in their desperate attempt to not only deny any legitimacy to Zionism, but to avoid …

Just a hop, skip and jump from the Holocaust and here we are: Jew hatred; far and wide; through the ages and for all ages. Take a look at these two cartoons. See common ground? Look at them. Netanyahu as the Gollum; from the Lord of the Rings; a despised …

The incorrect spelling of both antisemitism and antisemitic is a pet hate of mine, as the correct spelling actually alters the meaning of the words. This is two previous items I’ve written on the subject joined. Unfortunately the spelling of the words have been Americanised!  I don’t recollect these incorrect …

In the aftermath of the murder of eleven Jews at prayer on the Sabbath in their synagogue, there was much sturm and drang about the cause/causes. We are all aware of the well-known Jew hatred from the far right-the white supremacists, the KKK the Neo-Nazis. Bless them. They don’t hide …

Pittsburgh was my home for 2 years. Although, it was very different from anything I’ve ever experienced in Moscow − from architecture, food, weather, lifestyle to the stubborn foreign language − one thing that stood out was its people. See, people are nice in Pittsburgh. And by nice I mean …

Antisemitism or anti-Semitism?  Which is it? Two plus years ago, I wrote an article called ‘Antisemitism v anti-Semitism’ in which I said that the incorrect spelling of antisemitism was getting to me more and more and I suspected it’s an Americanisation of the word. I might add it still is getting …

Does the punishment fit the crime? The Internet is humming over the story of Kevin Myers, veteran Irish columnist who received his marching orders for an off-the-cuff antisemitic reference in an article that he penned. Speaking as someone both Jewish, Zionist (chose to move to Israel as an adult) and …

What do antisemites and Jewish Progressives have in common? The internalization of a negative cultural meme.  Cultural memes are units of information; cultural units of DNA, which give us an understanding of being human.  Oxford University biologist Richard Dawkins describes two types of information that are intertwined and passed through the …

Many of us in the Jewish diaspora have been watching as antisemitism rises to new levels of vitriol. This isn’t quiet antisemitism. This is loud and proud ”Kill the Jews, eliminate Israel.” And now from a respected American as reported in Truth Revolt “Retired United States Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson and …

I had the opportunity to visit the Bath Abbey while on my recent trip to Britain. It is an outstanding place of worship. It has a very long and glorious history beginning in the 7th century. And it is very beautiful. I was taken aback though, when I came across …

Igor Sadikov,  a student union leader at McGill University urged people on Twitter to “punch a Zionist today.”  Despite calls for his resignation, something…anything…the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) decided to keep him on board the Good Ship Lollipop because it is acceptable to hate Jews at McGill and …

San Francisco State University is among the most racist and antisemitic universities in the United States, which is why it is partnering with An-Najah University in Nablus, which is among the most racist universities in the world. This is only fitting. Birds of a feather, and so forth. San Francisco …

The incorrect spelling of antisemitism is getting to me more and more of late. I feel the need to write about it in order to get people to spell it correctly by learning the meaning of the words and where they originated. Somewhere, somehow in recent years the spelling has …
