tsunami of hate

A tsunami of antisemitic hate.

Oct 7 saw Hamas commit atrocities beyond description, but instead of support – Jews in the west are facing a tsunami of antisemitic hate.

Because I am public facing – I become a target of hate for our enemies. For those on the sidelines it is near impossible to fathom the level and intensity of hate that is thrown every day. I mean we all see the offensive messages thrown around, but little of it is targeted or personal. For some – death threats, sadistic promises – we see it all. I am taking a quick breather from ongoing investigations just to post this. What I have posted below are examples of the hateful messages I receive *all day, every day* . These are not public responses to my posts – but recent private messages that people have taken the time to send.

I am not posting them to elicit sympathy. It is done only to inform and to help create a public understanding of the tsunami of antisemitism we are facing.

This is not anti-Zionism, nor is it anything to do with helping Palestinians. It is just a raw hatred of Jews. This is what my inbox looks like right now – all of these messages are recent:

 

antisemitic hate

And it was Sunday – a quiet day. None of these examples are more than a few days old:

What I am posting is just a choice few. I am not even bothering to show the more predictable ones – statements equating Zionists with ‘Nazis’ or calls to ‘free Palestine’.

Some I receive are exceptional in their sadistic quality:

The above is from Twitter (and no, I don’t think the enviroment on the platform has got worse since Elon Musk took over – it has always been toxic). I have to leave my message streams open so those with news about antisemitic activity can contact me. My website is another avenue to send messages. Comments are open – and this allows for anonymous vindictive messages to be sent. This one was received yesterday:

I have been doing this a long time, and to be honest, these type of messages no longer affect me at all. I have simply grown accustomed to having sadistic abuse thrown my way.

And then there are the posts that make it all worth it. Like this one:

Posts such as these tell me I am doing exactly what I need to be doing. This is a battle that must be fought.

Time to get back to work.

 

Help support the fight against antisemitism in 2024.

2024 looks like it will be a difficult and long struggle.

My research is unique and hard hitting. It also depends on community support.

I battle back against those who seek to revise history, demonise Israel –  and I expose antisemitism wherever it is found. I fight when others don’t. The results speak for themselves and for nine years I have been exposing hate and creating headlines.

  1. We will never forget all the little Jacks and Janes who could barely contain themselves on 8/10 before taking to the streets to squeal with joy at the beheading of Jewish babies and the murder of Jewish children as they screamed for the genocide of Jews. We will remember their jubilation as terrified Israeli girls were still cowering in Israeli fields as Arab rapists hunted them down and ‘peace loving’ Gazan citizens spat on the bodies of elderly Jewish captives as they were dragged beaten and bloodied through Gazan streets. They will be foremost in our minds as we hunt down and slaughter the animals that they support as we flush them from their UN funded rat holes.

    Am Yisrael Chai to all the little Jacks and Janes. You went too early, didn’t you?

    1. I do admit that the pro Pal rallies are becoming a little bit tiresome

      I used to quite enjoy going into the city on a Saturday afternoon

      But that’s all in the past now

      You have to feel sorry for the business owners who must be losing money hand over fist as a result of these thugs as their so called protests always inevitably turn violent. And who wants to be around that? Best to just stay away and leave them to it…

      Meanwhile right wing politics is surging all over the world with Trump set to win by a landslide in November

      But I’m sure that is just a coincidence

      🤪

      1. Trump is a defender of the Jews, a personal friend of Netanyahu, and has a town in Israel named after him. He moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2017, something previous presidents had spoken about but never done. The Abrhaham Accords did more to secure Israeli security, isolating Iran, than 50 years of “peace process” had ever achieved. WIth respect, please look beyond the propaganda about Trump.

      2. I am not Jewish (although I am pleased to say that my extended family now includes Jews, to whom I have written with support.) I give a very modest monthly support to this site and donated recently. I am horrifed by a corrupt state which is tolerating monstrous antisemitisme on the streets and in our pathetic, degraded Universities. Thank you David for your work. Unlike most who claim to have received death threats, you actually publish your’s so we can judge for ourselves. Bret Weinstein has characterised the present situation, with ignornant brainwashed young people spouting open hate, as “pre-genocidal”, and it is difficult to disagree. It is pathetic so see my middle-classs friends equivocate and I do what I can. My very best wishes to you.

    2. Iain, animals are wonderful creatures. Please don’t compare the Palestinian Nazi Hamas terrorists to them
      The Hamas terrorists are a bunch of barbaric, perverted, sadistic demons

  4. Antisemitic hatred is unique in its depth of hatred. It’s a pathological illness that warps and deranges. Keep up your brave fight, David. You’re on the right side of truth and honor. The sick, depraved haters will never win.

  6. Turkey [Türkiye] Islamist oppressor Erdogan’s obsessive long record of Hitler Nazi comparison. All the while, he himself actually has a Hitler-problem…

    2016:

    Erdogan’s Hitler Problem.
    The Turkish presidency is seeking to clarify President Erdogan’s recent remarks in which he favorably compared his vision of an executive presidency with Nazi Germany. This is not the first time he has said outrageous things only to walk them back.
    Blog Post by Steven A. Cook,
    January 4, 2016 11:30 am (EST)

    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a Hitler problem. When he was asked last Friday to comment on his strong desire to establish what Turks call an “executive presidency” and how that might affect the “unitary structure” of the Turkish state, Erdogan replied, “There are already examples in the world. You can see it when you look at Hitler’s Germany.” In the firestorm of criticism that followed, the Turkish presidency sought to clarify Erdogan’s remark. The Guardian quoted an anonymous official stating, “There are good and poor examples of presidential systems and the important thing is to put checks and balances in place…Nazi Germany, lacking proper institutional arrangements, was obviously one of the most disgraceful examples in history.” The same official also accused the president’s opponents of purposefully distorting his remarks. Fair enough, but one has to wonder why Nazi Germany was the first example Erdogan could think of…

    Erdogan Calls Dutch ‘Nazi Remnants’ After Turkish Minister Is Barred

    President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey at a rally in Istanbul on Saturday. He threatened to retaliate against the Netherlands for denying the foreign minister permission to fly in.
    By Alissa J. Rubin
    March 11, 2017
    PARIS — The Dutch government on Saturday intensified a diplomatic dispute between Turkey and its NATO allies in Europe by refusing to let the Turkish foreign minister fly into the Netherlands to campaign on behalf of a referendum that would augment the power of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

    In response, Mr. Erdogan compared the Dutch to “fascists” and said they were “Nazi remnants,” echoing the description he used for the Germans last Sunday, after two Turkish politicians campaigning for Mr. Erdogan scrapped rallies when the German government told them it could not guarantee their safety.

    Mr. Erdogan accused Germany of using “Nazi practices” to block him from campaigning, drawing a rebuke from the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, who called the comparison “completely unacceptable” and said the remarks trivialized the suffering of the Nazis’ victims.

    BERLIN (AP) — Comments from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other Turkish officials accusing Germany of “Nazi practices” cannot be tolerated and need to stop, Chancellor Angela Merkel told Parliament on Thursday.

    In her strongest comments so far about Erdogan’s statement, Merkel said the Nazi comparisons were “sad” and “so incredibly misplaced that one really can’t comment, but they cannot be justified.”

    “We will not allow the victims of the Nazis to be trivialized,” she said. “These comparisons with the Nazis must stop.”

    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called the removal of Dostoyevsky’s works from academic curricula in some European countries a “Nazi mindset.” Meanwhile, social media users mocked Erdoğan for his pronunciation of Dostoyevsky as “Dostoviski,” as “viski” means “whisky” in Turkish.

    * The Palestinians, Khalil al-Sakakini, a .. Jerusalem educator, jotted down in his diary, ”rejoiced [as did ‘the whole Arab world’] when the British bastion at Tobruk fell .. to the Germans.” [Morris, 1999:21].

    (The same Ahmad Shukeiri helped with propaganda for Hitler [Congressional Record.. Vol. 107, Pt 24, 1961, p.5735 (p.35); Detroit Jewish News, 3-Feb-1967,9], with Jamal Husseini – both justified the holocaust in 1946 [B’nai B’rith, 12-Jul-1946], promoted neo-Nazis in 1962 [JTA, Dec.3.1962; JTA, De.4.1962; Congressional Record : Proceedings and…’ US Congress, 1965, PA15915-6], was associated with Issa Nakhle [Herut, Nov-29-1953 (Heb.)] – who glorified Nazi Germany [DAIA, Apr. 1958], denied the holocaust [Nov.13.1972 at UN; 1978 in his memorandum to Carter, Sadaat ahead of Camp David; etc.] and worked with neo-Nazis for most of his career.

    * 1941-1945: infamous Arab Palestine Islamic leader Haj Amin al Husseini, the Mufti: no. 1 Hitller’s active Arab helper, very close Himmler. Preached –on Nazi radio– for genocide and Jihad to the Arab world; oversaw schools for combining radical Islam and Hitlerism; mobilized SS Muslim units; plotted crematorium in Dothan Valey for M.E. and N.

One would say 70%, one would say 90% – that was the dispute.’ [Political Struggle: A file of speeches and documents. Vol. 1, Iss. 1, ch. 3. Moshe Sharett, Shifra Kolat, 2009, p. 56].

    * In 1944, ‘in secret ways, Nazi propaganda material, authored by Hajj Amin, was also stolen into Palestine.

    Throughout the country his supporters drank in his words with thirst, and the phenomenon of the years of the rebellion returned: in the Arab circles they were already debating the distribution of Jewish property after the victory; And in Jerusalem and Jaffa, in Tiberias and Safed, the fate of the young Jewish women has already been determined: for each one, her future Arab rapist has been determined. [Lebl, 1996:98 (Heb.)].

[Julius, Huffington Post May 25, 2015]. And the Jenin born poet Bohan al-Din al-Abushi called for genocide [Shasha, 2008:6]. He also wrote pro-Hitler poems in 1942-1940. [Hazkani, 2021].

    * Ahead of the Nuremberg Trials, the Falastin defended Nazism, saying that “Nazism which is — as much a way of life as democracy and — socialism” in a leading article. [The Palestine Post, 31 October 1945].

    * An Arab newspaper elaborates about “Hitler the Great (sic) Leader”. “Adolf Hitler, the lost European man” – an article of this name with a picture on “the greatest [sic] leader who rose in Germany” was published in the latest issue of “alwahda” (الوحدة) the Arab weekly in Jerusalem. [HaMashkif, June 4, 1946].

    * According to Edward Said, the pro-Nazi mufti represented the consensus of the Arabs of Palestine. In his book (1983:7): “The Arab Higher Committee; It operated… especially since 1946… This committee, headed by the national leader of Palestine, Haj Amin al-Husseini, represented the Palestinian Arab national consensus, backed by the parties The Palestinian political parties that operated in Palestine, and were recognized in some way by Arab governments as the voice of the Palestinian people, until the PLO…”

    “The Forgotten Ally.”
    By Rev. Eric D. Errey, (Brandon, Mann)
    (United Church of Canada).

    …The world has never been adequatly informed about the many Jews who fought with the British 8th Army from Alamein and on. When the great offensive was planned to begin at El Alamein, General Montgomery felt that it would a useful strategy to deploy a group of commandos behind the enemy lines at Bardia, So 85 commandos were chosen for this arduous task, and every one of them Jew! These 85 Jewish commandos were taken by British warships to the chosen spot, set ashore, and within a short time, and coinciding with the attack of the 8th Army, these 85 Jews captured Bardia with 9,000 prisoners! Holding on long enough to hand over the great booty – the to the victorious 8th Army as it raced through.

    Time does not permit tell of all the other exploits of Jewish soldiers and guerillas, of the capture, for example, of Fort Courand in French Syria by a handful Jewish civilians armed with rifles and other …small arms, thus opening the way to Australians in their offensive against Vichy Syria.

    All the world over the Jewish people have suffered at the hands of Hitler and all other people everywhere who are moved like Hitler by racial intolerance and sometimes very hatred.
    And all the world over, no people have been more ready to fight against Hitlerism than the Jews. And yet, these people continue to be misunderstood and misused by those who ought to be their friends, which the Jewish people of the world seek.
    First, they seek a Homeland… It was promised to them after the last war. On the basis of that promise some half a million Jews went into Palestine following the last war. They made Haifa into the third largest harbor in the Mediterranean. They built Tel Aviv into a city of 200,000 where thirty years before nothing but sand dunes lay. They transformed the agriculture of the country and reclaimed the desert. Surely a stirring story of two decades of hard work to turn the desert into a garden. But those were the decades, too, especially towards the end of the period, when appeasement was going strong.

    And the final act of appeasement was done in May 1939, when the British government issued its White Paper, to appease the
    Pro-Nazi elements among the
    Arabs, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, who even now is, cavorting somewhere in Germany with his other Nazi friends
    .

    Surely the time has once and for all we should be done with all policies of appeasement. After the last war, the Arabs received sovereignty over more than 1,200,000 square miles. The Jews were promised their ancient homeland of Palestine, a small area of 10,500 square miles west of the Jordan. There is no justification whatever for Arabs or anyone else trying to deny this small territory to the Jewish people.
    Dr. Walter Lowdermilk, the noted American agricultural expert, recently stated that in the Jordan Valley alone, room could be found for at least 4,000,000 new immigrants, without disturbing in any way Palestine’s present population. The stumbling block has been right along the effort to appease a nazi-loving minority and perhaps too, the imperialistic dreams of a few people in high places. In a world that everywhere reluctant to admit or to keep the Jews in large numbers, surely the logical and the right course would be let hem re-establish themselves in their historic Homeland in an adequate way.

    The Jewish people also, I am sure would welcome the day when other people come to see them as plain, ordinary citizens like the rest of us, having the good qualities that are found in all men, and sometimes the stains that all. The world needs more sympathy and more understanding between its various peoples and racial groups.
    Speaking the other day to a friend in this city, he told me that in the many years during which he has worked for Jewish employers, he has always found them kindly and sympathetic…
