The Times, which used to be "All the News That's to Print" is now "All the Anti-Semitic and Anti-Zionist News, whether it's Ai, fit to print, or not". So long as they can say something negative about Israel or the Jewish people, they'll print it. Truth is not an issue.

It makes sense that our progressive aristocracy has adopted Critical Anti-Zionism as one of their sacred beliefs, it was pretty much inevitable after they pledged their souls to Critical Race and Gender theories.

The main difference is that Critical Race and Gender are about supporting racial and sexual minorities (however simplistic their theories and mixed their results), whereas Critical Anti-Zionism posits Israel and all Jews (unless they publicly perform their opposition to Zionism) as essentially Satan and his demons, the condensed symbol of all the things they've been taught to hate—settler-colonial imperialist capitalist apartheid genocide etc—and demands Jews be constantly attacked and denounced.

Just as the marriage between globalist progressives and Critical Race theorists was consecrated by the blood of George Floyd, the ceremony uniting them with Critical Anti-Zionists was sealed by the blood of 10/7 and the subsequent Gaza War. This was the time for choosing sides and making loyalties clear and now our progressive overlords no longer hide or deny that they ratify all the narratives that have been painting Israel as a monster for decades as well as the Anti-Zionists' ultimate goal of dissolving and/or destroying the Jewish state.

It is also unsurprising that the latest narrative missile aimed at Israel comes from a Times writer named Emma Goldberg. The NYT has been the home of anti-Zionist Jews for a century and they earn their exalted salary and social status by constantly performing their hatred of those other BAD Jews who don't believe in universal egalitarianism, as a way to signal their loyalty and obedience to their class of Diapsora aristocrats and larger Christian society.

Our GOOD Jews now know they must hate Israel and perform this publicly to keep their place in progressive insitutions and they'd be happier than Hamas if Israel was erased someday. Then they'd no longer have to be asociated with it and could enjoy peace on campus and at UWS dinner parties.

Its amazing or maybe not how many of the "as a Jews" on the NYT left are now breaking bread with the "far right " podcasters that will have them like Carlson.

"What joins men together is not the sharing of bread but the sharing of enemies."

Cormac McCarthy

The Jewish scapegoat is a tried and true way of getting disparate groups of people together to set aside their differences and focus on what they have in common. Once again the Jews will be sacrificed so others feel safer, less anxious and more sure of themselves.

Both sides see the erasure of Israel and the demonization of Zionists as crucial to their political projects and visions for the future, so both sides will start here.

Wish Larry would purchase that one too and reform or dismantle it.

Haven’t you noticed that Bibi’s threat to sue Kristof over dog-rape was a bluff? There’s no lawsuit. There will never be a lawsuit: discovery would be a disaster for Israel.

I’m sorry your bubby’s vision of Israel is not being realized. Nor mine. But we have to deal with the world as it is.

Israel is doing the marketing work itself.

I'm a 67-year-old hard core conservative. Israel is as much of a terrorist nation as Iran is. Frankly, I wouldn't mind Israel and Iran nuking each other out of existence.

Yeah. Those damn jews. Wait, I mean Israelis.

Listen, let’s not lump the Iranian leadership in with the Israeli terrorist government.

Iran, with their frequent elections where governments often change hands, their robust opposition press, their government’s generous toleration of peaceful protests by citizens, their flourishing tech sector and growing economy, is nothing like Israel.

Oh wait…

Never mind.
