Very important perspective. And if this article makes some uncomfortable, I suggest Yes, All Jews from someone in the in-group. When the Sarkha says “a curse upon the Jews”, as Indi correctly points out at the end of this article, it is a description. It is not a prescription and does not need to be. Jews have already prescribed this curse upon themselves and it is on them to undo it. Certainly not on Palestinians, or Yemenis, or anyone else.
EDIT: I will add that the author himself is stating in the article that he will choose to not bother to de-collapse the distinction between Zionism and Judaism. I, personally, have not made that choice and do not plan to. I think it is still useful to distinguish Jews from Zionists simply because the Jewish identity is much older than zionism and was not created with zionism (unlike how the White identity was created with and for white supremacy and colonialism). And yes, I know a majority of zionists are not Jews. But a majority of Jews are zionists. So, in essence this repost isn’t a full endorsement - I don’t necessarily agree with every single thing said in the article. However, I do believe it is an important perspective to share. And if he chooses to not bother anymore with separating Judaism from Zionism because Jews have not bothered to do this themselves, I will affirm his right to do this. It is not “antisemitism” or more accurately judeophobia to not bother to do this work that most Jews themselves do not do and is on them to do in the first place.

Nah fuck that. Zionists are a multi-faith coalition of bastards and you’re letting US Christians, evangelicals especially, off the hook.
A major point of argument in the article is how the Israelis/zionists identify themselves as the Jews, and their politics/actions as judaism, and therefore we should as well. This is a bizarre argument. Do we as communists take bourgeois propaganda and self identification at face value as well? Of course not.
It’s CIA-idpol at its finest
Are the settlers in occupied Palestine not Jews? If they aren’t, where are the voices of real Jews to tell us that the genocidal violence being committed in the name of Judaism is actually a perversion of Judaism? I respect and avow any such voices. But such voices are fringe, few and far between. And that is the crux of the problem here. Most self-described Jews affirm and support the criminal violence being done on Palestinians by other self-described Jews in the name of Judaism. At some point you are going to have to take people for their words and actions.
This framing absolves Christian zionists of any responsibility. Balfour and Huckabee are not Jewish, and have done more to advance Zionism than 99% of Jews. It absolves the American Evangelicals who fly the Israeli flag and help organize junkets for conservative politicians. It absolves the various indigenous compradors who have tied themselves to the Israeli state.
All to adopt the same framing Zionists want us to adopt.
As an Iranian, no thank you.
Even some of mottos from the Islamic Republic refer to them as “Jews” rather than “the regime”, " the Zionists", etc.
I will not.
Many of the monarchist diasporoids, as well, who have a decent education, see mottos like that and think of them as uneducated bigotry and otherism.
This leads to misunderstanding of what the axis of resistance stands for, and as well as what it would do once victorious.
We are not stupid. We do not need a dumbed down message. Ours is the most intellectual of movements. The adversary are the Zionists; not innocent Jews, many of whom have made far greater sacrifices than myself in fighting this.
White supremacists blame “the Jews” for a conspiracy and then attack a synagogue, harming whole families including children. Since when the little girls engage in world-dominating conspiratorial plans?
When’s the last time you’ve seen a white supremacist attack a Zionist conference or building? They don’t. They’re directed not to by the narratives that move them and that they react to.
I have come to have tremendous disdain for my people, the evil we have wrought, and the demons we have become. Our craven hypocrisy, our holocaust handwringing, our selfish dissociation, our bottomless both-sidesing, our catatonic inaction, our feeble sign-waving, our condescending condemnations, our wallowing victim complex, our self-indulgent betrayals, our brazen self-centeredness, our exploitative careerism, our blood and soil racism, our liberal cowardice, our mountains of empty platitudes amongst mountains of Palestinian corpses that we annihilated in cold blood.
Girl these aren’t your people. They are an outgroup. You are not part of them.
The only cogent point she makes is about not tone-policing the victims.
White supremacists blame “the Jews” for a conspiracy and then attack a synagogue, harming whole families including children.
People on this very instance, and associated instances, have vocally defended synagogue attacks like this, as if regular people going to religious services in Michigan are equivalent to pro-war (pro-genocide) Zionist marchers in Colorado or Israeli embassy staff in DC. They reason that if the founders of the place of worship had Zionist opinions, then the congregants should have researched that and chosen not to attend. To them, guilt by association is absolute and transitive.
There’s a point to be made inside this article but it goes a little too far in painting Jews with an essentialistic brush, and overestimates the percentage of Jews who support the genocide. The Zionist entity wasn’t created singlehandedly by Jews, and it won’t be abolished singlehandedly by Jews either.
I would consider why it is that Israel would very much also like everyone to believe that all Jews and Zionists are the same. I don’t feel like doing my enemies work for them.
I agree that the responsibility to end zionism falls on Jews but anyone who sees any group bound by anything other than ideology as a monolith is no comrade of mine.
This smells of someone’s who’s only ever interacted with Jews on twitter.
Get the fuck out of here with this shit
“Just say Jews. Mossad and the ADL do.”
The foreign Press sometimes carries such twaddle as that the Red Army pursues the aim of exterminating the German people and destroying the German state. This, of course, is a stupid lie, and a senseless slander against the Red Army. The Red Army has not and cannot have such idiotic aims. The Red Army’s aim is to drive the German occupants from our country and liberate Soviet soil from the German-fascist invaders. It is very likely that the war for the liberation of Soviet soil will lead to the exile or destruction of Hitler’s clique. We would welcome such an outcome. But it would be ludicrous to identify Hitler’s clique with the German people, with the German state. The experience of history indicates that Hitlers come and go, but the German people and the German state remain.
Lebanese here being terrorized semi regularly so maybe my two cents are worth 2.00000000000002 cents.
I have always thought that part is unnecessary and perpetuates the entity’s narratives and founding myth. It makes whoever includes it look like a barbarian. The terrorism by the entity has syncretized with and perpetuated very real antisemitism, which is something the entity is more than happy to stoke to preserve its permanent war, and this is part of that system. We need the many non-Zionist Jews in the common fight for human rights, we need every possible Zionist, Jewish or otherwise, who can find it in them to break with the lie that a “peaceful”/“righteous” apartheid is possible. Jews are not born Zionists, nobody is born a criminal.
Including that stupid statement makes every last Arab look like a dog. (I like dogs, but like - “like a dog” in Arabic is an insult. That “like a dog”). I’m not even talking about polishing up optics to appease foreign observers, what does the complete banality of such a statement in our societies say about us?
Anti Zionism is for everyone. Zionism is antisemitism, just like it is Islamophobia, and just like it is inherently an apartheid / genocidal / white supremacist ideology. I am on the other side of those tanks and under those drones, and I am probably the luckiest and so far safest man this side of their weapons. Why does anyone even need to appease the possibility of a suggestion of the shadow of a doubt that what the entity is doing is transparently criminal?
The word critical is thrown around on here for a very good fucking reason, let’s not choose to act ignorantly
“Hmm I wonder how they’re going to justify telling people to do exactly what the Zionists want?”
>more of the same stale Hasbara.
There isn’t a word in this whole screed that isn’t exactly what Israel wants you to think.
How many Zionists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Four.
One to raise the funds to purchase the bulb.
Another to go to the store to purchase it.
A third to actually screw it in.
And a fourth to loudly proclaim that all world Jewry stand behind their actions.
Dunno about this one chief
I do not understand what this article is arguing for or against?? The correct response to “not all jews” isn’t “yes literally every single one” which this kind of sounds like? also “a curse upon the jews” sure doesn’t sound like a “description” or the slogan has been horribly mistranslated. “death to amerika, death to israel, a curse on the jews, victory to islam” at least three of those haven’t happened, they’re wishes, or a prayer or whatever, why is “curse upon the jews” suddenly descriptive?
It is stating that the work to de-collapse the distinction between Judaism and Zionism must be done by Jews and that this is not the responsibility of non-Jews. And it is not judeophobic for non-Jews to not bother to de-collapse the distinction between Judaism and Zionism - particularly victims of Jewish supremacy. The only valid phenomenon that I, personally, think represents actual judeophobia is when white supremacists knowingly launder the crimes of the West through Jews uniquely - rather than accurately stating that Jewish supremacy operates within white supremacy.
As for the Sarkha, “death to amerika, death to israel, a curse on the jews, victory to islam”. All of these things have already happened if you change your temporal frame of reference. :)

theres no way to disrespect one single religion/culture in a woke communist way
The article is awful and reactionary but religions can also be awful and reactionary. That doesn’t mean persecuting everyone who is a member of that religion or ascribing magical collective guilt to them the way that the article does.
It looks like the big dogs in each nation are trying to force Christian Armageddon. Thats why Israel is “at war on all sides”. Never forget Yahweh is a war god.
