Alon,

this is a conversation we have been having in many different circles. “Why aren’t enough Jewish people and leaders around the world are quiet?”.

besides everything you said, in the future, real white supremacist anti-jewish hate is just bubbling on the surface and at the end once they take power, they will blame the jews for everything using the genocide as an excuse.

Thanks Alon, you are spot on. If Jews can come together as they did in 1933 to create a global boycott of Nazi Germany, they sure can come together today to defeat fascist Israel.

Thank you Alon. ❤️ Good, if really heartbreaking and tragic, to hear your thoughts. Israel is clearly committing suicide, in who's name and interests, I don't know. I have good, beautiful friends there , talented intelligent people, musicians and artists, all of whom I met in India. Just praying for them, and for all that madness to stop. Big hug from Sweden ❤️

It’s sickening . The whole disastrous trajectory is the vision over many decades reaching its apogee . This is the dream of the Messianics coming into being . Damn them all akhi .

I think the word "vampiric" used here is telling... As a fellow expat I fully support the sentiment expressed here by Alon. People need to realise how difficult this may be to create such content. I don't only mean just to have the nerve in saying this publicly but also the topic in itself isn't easy...

People outside Israel can't fully understand how crazy Israel is. I don't just mean their attitude towards Palestinians and Arabs. One simply need to understand that we have here a unique psycho-social experiment that may have never been done in history - the artificial creation of a "Jewish" soldier nation...

The world needs to pause for a moment and just imagine how something of this magnitude (for so long) can evolve and what might be the damages in various aspects of life.

The greater Jewish community should be wary of anything to do with Israel as this "project" is nothing of what you imagine it is. The professional people from psychology and psychiatry can't really say Israelis are sick - the world is not ready for this truth. But this will have to be acknowledged at some point. Maybe when the horrors of the genocide will come to light.

I'm not saying this lightly, this is a specific set of conditions applied for many years on large amounts of Israeli Jews. There are obvious trauma issues here and we simply need to be aware that this is not merely a social/political issue but this has (long time ago) crossed into the mental health realm without a doubt.

I strongly disagree. All over the World antisionist jews are against Netanyahu and the genocide in Gaza

Thank you Alon,

Some activists took up your call for people to hold a vigil at the Israeli consulate in their city. The response in Montreal was extremely aggressive and negative from residents who support Israel. I can only conclude they have lost their minds. But we continue to call for an end to the genocide in spite of them.

Thanks for telling me, Brenda. Such a response from Israel supporters is quite understandable: so much denied guilt there, so much fear and anxiety that the whole thing may collapse soon. Sending you all my support and good vibes to carry on with your urgent mission. Be strong and round in what you're doing

What does pointing the finger at World Jewery accomplish? How doesn’t it help?

Denying it may save innocent people from persecution and abuse. Especially, if is true that there are innocent Jews. You don’t seem to understand the categorical implications of the charge. Perhaps trot out the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to help your case?

Excellent analysis. I've been thinking a similar thing for a few years. I was at a protest for Palestine a year ago and the director of the UJFP the union of french jews for peace made a speech where she said similar things to you. She said that for the entire future for us all was in the balance, and all jewish people must resist genocide and zionism by any means necessary. Any means necessary. Zionism has now become an existential threat for jewish people and even the planet itself because of the number of nuclear bombs they have. I'm jewish but I have to admit that I can't even look at an israeli or an israeli flag without feeling physically sick. I have to be honest! I live in Paris and I see Israelis sometimes on the street and I feel sick. Most other people in the world have a much much stronger reaction than that! That's a serious problem. The mistake of destroying all international law, all international bodies and killing 2 million people to steal a tiny piece of land smaller than an airport. That's insane. Now they're going to start a war against Iran, an unbeatable country that will destroy them very easily in a matter of days and will completely crash the world economy. The stupidity of the zionists mirrors the stupidity of the political elites in far right political parties around the world. So I don't blame only zionist for this situation but unlike other fascist parties, the Israeli government had unlimited weapons and political cover.

It is enormous and I have no illusions that the majority of Jews worldwide have lost their moral understanding, but all people can be victims. The point has been spelled out above. The architects of this genocide want us to become like them. Let's not.

Good analysis, about the Netanyahu-MAGA deal, I've been thinking similarly. Now, as a practicing believer, this weak servant tends to look for the Divine Wisdom, as It moves things and along the routine of cause&effect rule in common practice of this Creation, we're being taken to where Allah Almighty wants us to arrive at: the Armageddon.

Two infos from Islam perspective:

- Allah Almighty revealed in His Last Testament (the Holy Qur'an) that there would be no more divine punishment on rebellious people by heavenly means (read: natural catastrophies) after Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but that humans would punish each other and bring upon them destructio (the Armageddon) by themselves and their own means (read: nuclear war).

- Survival will be by faith. In Noah's times, an ark saved the believers from a flood of water, but now a flood of fire is coming, and the ark is going to be sincere faith. Muslims who don't prostrate, humans who don't believe in the Oneness of God, cruel people and extremely envious ones, will be sent to the Hereafter, "for further treatment".

How is it that no one learns anything from history? America swallowed the lies about Iraq and now about Iran

This is good and valid point. There is a hidden assumption in Alon's words here that most people are: open, thoughtful and honest. None of those 3 exists in abundance with the majority of people. Most people are mean and small minded. They see little value in openness, it is potentially embarrassing. Same is true for honest and meaningful conversation. Majority of people want fun and light entertainment. And they would rather die than engage with other people in this way. So, for a large section of humanity all this is basically meaningless waste of time. I suspect, sadly, this is true.
