Inhumanity

 

Nate Bear wrote an excellent piece on the ludicrous shrieking about "antisemitism" when a mentally ill man in the UK stabbed two Jewish men:

 

This fresh round of hysteria really ramped up after a man with a history of mental illness (and of stabbings) stabbed two Jews in north London last week. Neither died and both will live. Omitted from almost all state-corporate media coverage was the fact that he also stabbed a third man, a Muslim. Also omitted was his history of stabbings (he previously stabbed his own dog, a Somali man, and two police officers), and his history of psychotic breaks.

Despite the circumstances clearly pointing to random attacks by a person suffering an acute mental episode, the police treated it not just as a planned antisemitic attack, but as terrorism.

The terrorism threat level in the UK was raised to severe.

I remember when terrorism used to mean car bombs, political goals, manifestos and scores of dead people, not a mentally disabled man with a butter knife scratching a few people.

But the attack was perfect fodder for the British media and political establishment, who blamed support for Palestine and opposition to genocide for enabling antisemitism, and instantly began demanding pro-Palestine protests were fully outlawed.

Later, Bear mentions how this misuse of the terms "terrorism" and "antisemitism" led to the arrest of a Green Party candidate for posting online that an attack on a synagogue in Michigan, USA was an act of vengeance, not antisemitism:

Mairey posted that an attack on a synagogue in Michigan, in March, was revenge, not antisemitism. Which it was. Ten days before he attacked the synagogue, Ayman Ghazali’s family in Lebanon had been murdered in an Israeli airstrike. His attack against an open and proudly Zionist synagogue was revenge.

I've written before on the phenomenon of some Jewish people to genuinely feel threatened by criticism of Israel, because they genuinely feel that this criticism is antisemitic at its roots.  And I'll say here and now that with Israel's continued depredations and atrocities, I find this attitude to be increasingly tiresome, narcissistic, disgusting and stupid.  But Bear is talking about how the UK ruling class, including the loathsome Keir Starmer, are concocting an "antisemitism" and "terrorism" crisis pretty much out of whole cloth.  Because Israel is an important cog in the machine of capitalist imperialism.  And the fact that Israel is also a genocidal zio-nazi entity means that extraordinary measures have to be taken to attempt to normalize it. [More from Caitlin Johnstone.]

 

The thing is though, ... this has all made me feel that, once again, most "leaders" (people in positions of power) don't care about other people at all.  Look at it this way: The Roman Catholic Church is documented as having an across-the-board problem with their priests molesting children and the Church covering this up.  By "across-the-board" I mean that this was world-wide/systemic.  It wasn't some local scandal that was covered-up by those on the spot and when word got up to the Pope in Rome it was decided to go along with it and hope for the best.  That would have been bad enough.  But no.  This was a problem with the institution as a whole and it went on for generations.

But ordinary people, for whom their bullshit religious beliefs are integral part of "who they are" and whose individual fake religion was Catholicism, decided that a little thing like systemic child rape wasn't enough to make them change their lives and renounce that corrupt institution.  As long as it happened to other children, they apparently don't give a fuck.

 

The "Other."  Non-Hispanic US whites hating Latinos and Blacks.  "Old-Stock" white Canadians hating the First Nations.  Hindus hating Muslims.  Arabs hating Africans and South Asians.  Israelis hating Palestinians. Humans stupidly "other" people and make enemies of them in the blinkered hopes of being able to keep or take as much for ourselves.

And, if ordinary people are capable of such despicable behaviour, imagine what total psychopaths like Benjamin Netanyahu, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump, stephen harper, Mark Carney, Ben Shapiro, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, etc., are capable of!

To the extent that they're Jewish themselves, racist narcissists like Netanyahu and Ben Shapiro probably have some sort of genuine empathy for Jewish victims of antisemitic violence.  But make no mistake about it: Netanyahu cares mostly about himself.  He clearly knew about the upcoming Hamas action on October 7th, 2023 and conspired to make it far more deadly than Hamas intended.  It is documented that he ignored warnings from Israeli, US-American and Egyptian intelligence.  It is documented that the Israeli "rave" (dance party) was re-located to just across the line from the expected attack.  It is documented that it took hours for the IDF to respond to an attack that higher-ups knew was going to happen.  It is documented that when the IDF actually did respond, that it (in line with its "Hannibal Directive") slaughtered hundreds of Israeli civilians with tanks and helicopter gunships.

They were Jewish.  They were even Jewish Israelis.  But still, Netanyahu needs to stay in power to avoid going to prison for corruption charges that he will surely be found guilty of, and so they had to die.  Because he had to make Israelis completely lose their minds.  So "Bibi" Netanyahu slaughtered his fellow Israelis so that he could "justify" (in the minds of degenerates like Biden, Blinken, Starmer, Trudeau, etc.,) committing actual, literal GENOCIDE against the Palestinians.

Even if they don't really care about actual antisemitism, our psychopathic oligarchy does enjoy using it (or the threat of it) as a cudgel to beat the anti-genocide/anti-imperialist/anti-oligarchy side with.  Today, some zio-nazi doctor in Montreal is whining about how he's leaving Canada for the USA due to the rise in "anti-semitism" here.  And the shit-head Mark Carney had some speech to make some announcement about his government's response to this fabricated crisis.

Jewish advocacy group B'nai Brith Canada recorded over 6,800 antisemitic incidents in 2025, the highest number it has recorded since 1982. It points to those statistics as proof that anti-Jewish hatred is being normalized in Canada. 

But since B'nai B'rith Canada equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, this is all bullshit and they can go fuck themselves.

I have now decided that the mass-shooting of the racist fanatics of the Chabad group at Bondi Beach in Australia was probably organized by Mossad, or, at least, by Netanyahu.  Even if they were paid-up zio-nazi stalwarts, their deaths at the hands of Muslim gunmen would do a lot to whip-up hysteria to justify curtailing the rights of anti-genocide protesters.  Because Netanyahu and his scum allies simply do not care about other people's lives, Jewish, zio-nazi, or otherwise.

Lately, whatever Canada's foreign affairs ministry is actually called has been paying to run ads on Fazebuck about how Canada is heroically calling out Russia for kidnapping Ukrainian children.  I've dealt with this before.  Russia is evacuating children from war-zones.  Many of the children are ethnic Russians whose parents voluntarily sent them to safer locations, while other, ethnic Ukrainian children on the Russian-controlled side of the border complain about being taken against their will.  One child complained about having to live with a Russian family who tried to make her sing the Russian national anthem every day.  She (and one other child I remember) was complaining about this to a Western news outlet AFTER HAVING BEEN RETURNED TO UKRAINE by the Russian government.  Clearly, children in immediate harm's way, were evacuated from a war zone, and some of them were Ukrainian, and from the journalists' own stories, they were returned to their families once they were identified and the transfers could be effected.

But even if Russia is kidnapping Ukrainian children, for Canada to complain about it whilst enabling Israel to starve, torture, rape and kill Palestinian children is the height of hypocrisy.  Hypocrisy doesn't get any worse than that.  It's like Israel has shit its pants and Canada is complaining that Russia farted.

Canada doesn't care about Ukrainians.  Canada doesn't care about the Palestinians.  Canada doesn't care about the Iranians.  Canada doesn't even care about Canadians.

We are ruled by insane, stupid monsters.  And there is nothing that they won't do to us if they somehow, stupidly, think it will serve their insane agenda.
