This is a very fair question to ask is
it anti-semitic to be anti Zionist? First,
when we speak of anti-semitism we’re not
speaking of just criticisms of Jewish
people that are valid and fair of
individuals or as Jewish people as a
group that are valid or fair accurate.
We’re talking about the demonizing of
the people as a whole, we’re talking
about spreading falsehoods about the
people as a whole.
So is it anti-semitic to be an anti
Zionist? If you have issues with the way
Israel treats the Palestinians but
recognize their right to be in the land,
if you recognize there are two sides to
the conflict but think that Israel is
often taking the wrong side, that’s
perfectly fair, and perfectly legitimate
to raise that question. On the other hand,
if you delegitimize Israel’s right to
exist, if you delegitimize Israel’s right
to have a homeland, if you demonize the nation as a whole
and say that it is as a whole genocidal
and apartheid, etc., if you spread the
lies about Israel such as that the
Israelis kill the Palestinians to
harvest their organs and things like
that, then yes, it is anti-semitic. And so
often it is the case that anti Sciences
anti-zionism is a cloak for
anti-semitism. Let me say again… valid
criticism of Israel and the Jewish
people is fine and it’s not anti-semitic.
Spreading lies about the people as a
whole or demonizing the nation as a
whole, that is anti-semitic. But there’s
an interesting verse in the book of
Zechariah… Zechariah the second chapter
the 12th verse, it’s a very interesting
verse, “…and the Lord will inherit Judah
and his portion in the Holy Land and
will again choose Jerusalem”, and in the
same context God says, “whoever touches
Israel touches the apple of my eye.”
What’s the point I’m making? God
dispersed the Jewish people into exile
because of sin, rejecting the Torah,
rejecting the prophets, rejecting the
Messiah. The Jewish people, I am a Jew,
the Jewish people, we have been scattered
around the world often under judgment
from God and then hate
for men and then Satan wanted to wipe us
out and yet God still has his hand on
the Jewish people. “And says whoever
touches them touches the apple of my eye”
and he said that even when Israel was in
sin and rebellion, just as you’d feel
toward your own child maybe had done
something wrong and you had to
discipline that child, but that’s still
your beloved child, so fair and valid
criticism of Jewish people, individuals,
people as a group, Israel as a nation,
fair and valid criticism is always fine.
Demonizing the people as a group, the
delegitimizing of the state as a state, as a
country, that friends is anti-semitic, so
sometimes anti-zionism is anti-semitism.

Note: Pay close attention to al-Husseini’s Nazi salute to Adolf Hitler.
Here is yet another photo, taken on another occasion, of al-Husseini giving the Nazi salute > www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/recruited.html
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini was also a notorious Nazi who mixed Nazi propaganda and Islam. Al-Husseini was wanted for war crimes in Bosnia by the government of Yugoslavia. Al-Husseini’s mix of propaganda with militant Islam was an inspiration to both Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein, the former dictator of Iraq. Al-Husseini was also a close relative of Yasser Arafat, the founder of the terrorist PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization). Al-Husseini was also the grandfather of the current Temple Mount Mufti. “Yasser Arafat’s actual name was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini. Arafat shortened his name to cloak his kinship with the notorious Nazi and ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini.” Howard M. Sachar, A HISTORY OF ISRAEL (New York: Knopf, 1976). The Bet Agron International Center in Jerusalem interviewed Arafat’s brother and sister, who described the Mufti as a cousin (family member) with tremendous influence on young Yasser Arafat after the Mufti returned from Berlin to Cairo. Yasser Arafat himself kept his exact lineage and birthplace secret. It is widely accepted that Arafat was born in Cairo Egypt, Aug. 24, 1929, not anywhere near ‘Palestine’. wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasser_Arafat
It should also be noted that Saddam Hussein was raised in the house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader in the Mufti’s pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941.
What is Jexodus?
According to Jexodus.org, the group is comprised of Jewish Millennials who reject what leftist politics has become. They reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left which is permeating Progressives and Democrats. Jexodus’ rallying cry is that it is time to break free from the tradition that “Jews vote Democrat”. Jexodus understands the connection between anti-semitism, anti-zionism and the BDS Movement stating that they would “rather spend forty years wandering in the desert than belong to a party that welcomes Jew-haters”. This sentiment has been echoed by Jexodus’ newest spokesperson, model Elizabeth Pipko whose comments during a Fox TV interview were tweeted by President Donald Trump,
“‘Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party,’” Trump tweeted, quoting Pipko. “‘We saw a lot of anti-Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worst & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.’”
Elizabeth Pipko goes against the grain of not only the Democrats but the entire modeling industry by supporting her president as evidenced by her courageously wearing the red ballcap with the 2016 Presidential election slogan, “Make America Great Again”.
Pipko has also been interviewed regarding Jexodus by:
- Arutz Sheva: 03/08/2019 > ‘Time for a Jewish Exodus from the Democratic party‘
Elizabeth Pipko and Jexodus are not alone in their observation that the Democratic Party no longer represents the interests of Jewish people as a whole. In a recent DailyWire article, columnist Jeremey Frankel writes,
“As Jews, we must open up our eyes to this frightening trajectory. The Left and the Democratic Party are not our friends. They do not support our core beliefs or our people. And it is indeed time that we, as a community, came to the realization that we must walk away.”
The Meaning of “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free”
What is the meaning behind the slogan “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” being chanted at Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) events? Where did it originate?
The phrase originated with Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of countless innocent people, mostly Jews. The PLO recognized that it was unable to escape its murderous history, which includes these terrorist acts committed by member organizations of the PLO were:
- The 1970 Avivim school bus massacre by the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), killed nine children, three adults and crippled 19.
- In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the second-largest PLO faction after al-Fatah, carried out a number of attacks and plane hijackings mostly directed at Israel, most infamously the Dawson’s Field hijackings, which precipitated the Black September crisis.
- In 1972, the Black September Organization carried out the Munich massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes.
- In 1974, members of the DFLP seized a school in Israel and killed a total of 26 students and adults and wounded over 70 in the Ma’alot massacre.
- The 1975, Savoy Hotel hostage situation killing 8 hostages and 3 soldiers, carried out by Fatah.
- The 1978, Coastal Road massacre killing 37 Israelis and wounding 76, also carried out by Fatah.
Recognizing that its global reputation was stained, the PLO re-branded itself as the ‘Palestinian Authority’ or PA, now headed by Mahmoud Abbas.
The slogan, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” is a call for a Palestinian state in the territory where Israel exists, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, which is nothing more than the same call for the complete destruction of Israel as repeated by the Islamic government of Iran so often. Anyone who still questions this can simply refer to any number of clip art websites which disseminate graphics depicting the geographic region of Israel covered with the Palestinian flag.
So why are the Democrats tolerating such antisemitism?

What we’re seeing happen is the infiltration of the Democratic Party by far leftists who affiliate themselves with new groups like the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) movement, the so-called ‘Progressive Democrats’ and ‘Democratic Socialists of America’ (DSA). This rapid trend is expected to lead to some radical changes. Many questions will only be answered in time.
Will American Jews, who have traditionally voted as Democrats, leave the party which is turning on them and their traditional values?
Only time will tell.

Could Radical Islam be the Curse of Genesis 12:3 ?
In the book of Genesis, G-d made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants (the #Jewish people) in which He unconditionally promised Abraham several things including many descendants, a specific area of land in the Middle East known as Israel and in verse 3, He also promised to reward those dealing with Israel and the Jewish people according to their behavior, as we read: “And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will #curse.”
This promise from G-d isn’t an empty one as we can track through biblical history how He caught up with those who mistreated Israel. It didn’t take long for G-d to punish Egypt with the death of all their firstborns as the tenth plague inflicted on the Egyptians whose Pharaoh–who didn’t know Joseph– had ordered the death of all male children of the Jewish slaves he controlled (Exodus 1:8-22; 11:1-7). A curse for a curse!
We can also look at the story that unfolds in the Book of Esther. Haman, the arch-enemy of the Jewish people wants to get rid of Mordecai and all his people, so he fabricates a story and builds gallows to hang Mordecai. By the end of the book, it is Haman who is hanging dead on the gallows (Esther 3:5-15; 7:7-10), again…A curse for a curse!
But the #Genesis 12:3 principle doesn’t stop with the biblical narrative. It continues through time as we can see with the Spanish empire that had been leading Western Europe for close to 600 years until the late 1400’s. That era was known as the “Golden Age” of Spain and it lasted until 1492, a date that according to most historians and scholars isn’t only the time when Christopher Columbus “sailed the ocean blue”, but also the year when Queen Isabella chose to drive out all the #Jews of Spain. Subsequently, 1492 became known as the start of the decline of the Spanish empire.
Genesis 12:3 could be labelled “G-d’s foreign policy as it pertains to Israel.” And if indeed G-d keeps his word, He will catch up with all the enemies of Israel sooner or later. Sometimes sooner, sometimes not, sometimes with a similar curse, but not necessarily always with matching curses.
Looking at the situation in Europe today, it is hard not to connect the impact of #radical Islam to the behavior of certain countries towards Israel. All or most of the countries of the current #European Union have had a history of #antisemitism that, one way or another, can be traced back to the second Century BCE. Consider just a few of the European countries who expelled their Jewish communities over the last 600 years (several more could be listed):
England: Expelled the Jews in 1290
France: Expelled the Jews in 1306, 1321-22, 1394
Spain: Expelled the Jews in 1492
Sicily: Expelled the Jews in 1492-93
Lithuania: Expelled the Jews in 1495
Portugal: Expelled the Jews in 1496-97
Germany: Expelled the Jews in 1510, 1610, 1885
Bavaria: Expelled the Jews in 1551
Italy: Expelled the Jews 1567, 69, 1593
Austria: Expelled the Jews in 1670
Czechoslovakia: Expelled the Jews in 1745
Russia: Expelled the Jews in 1891
This doesn’t include a record of other major events in the annals of Jewish history that have punctuated the Jewish people’s story with horrific acts of antisemitism such as the Crusades, the Blood Libels, The Host Desecration accusations, Talmud burnings, the Inquisition, the Pogroms and of course the Holocaust. Without performing an in-depth socio-demographic study of all these countries, we can still speculate that there might be a connection between the treatment of their respective Jewish communities and how G-d might be responding in the twenty-first century.
Radical Islam had already almost impregnated all European countries until very recently. People like Bat Ye’or saw the hand-writing on the wall of European civilization as early as the mid 1970s in her seminal work Eurabia. Mark Steyn understood the demographics “point of no return” in 2006 in his book America Alone. I wrote about it as early as 2000 in my first book They Have Conspired Against You.
With the advent of the migrant crisis in the last two years, Europe has now been placed on a collision course. Germany and Sweden are leading the way in what could become to the first country wide cultural suicides. They are plagued by a brand of #political correctness that has crippled them. They have lost their ability and in some cases their willingness to fight for their native sovereignty and established law of the land. Belgium, England and France are not far behind.
While we cannot dogmatically ascertain the connection between Jewish expulsions and #God’s curse, there is a strong possibility that the steady, exponential and irreversible decline of Europe might be a result of these nations disdain for the chosen people of G-d. This certainly doesn’t place all Muslim as a curse to Europe, just like not all Germans were Nazis, but one cannot ignore the on-going cultural and demographic jihad happening in Europe. “G-d’s foreign policy as it pertains to Israel,” doesn’t allow for any grey areas. You bless or you curse and the results, while not always immediate and similar, have always been in kind– a curse for a curse and a #blessing for a blessing– The wake-up call is imminent and many will be surprised!

Anti-Semitism
Antisemitism (also spelled anti–Semitism or anti–semitism) is hostility, prejudice or discrimination against Jews. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite.
The following image gallery includes a variety of historical as well as contemporary journalistic images which demonstrate that anti-semitism in it’s many forms is alive and well. When will the hatred stop?
