From Moon of Alabama Blog:

From Caitlin Johnstone article this morning:

“Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has published an explicit statement of genocidal intent toward the people of Gaza, threatening civilians in the enclave with collective punishment in the form of “total devastation” if they do not find a way to overthrow Hamas and free all Israeli hostages.”

Here is Katz’ statement:

“Residents of Gaza, this is your final warning. The first Sinwar destroyed Gaza, and the second Sinwar will bring upon it total ruin. The Israeli Air Force’s attack against Hamas terrorists was only the first step. What follows will be far harsher, and you will bear the full cost.

“Evacuation of the population from combat zones will soon resume. If all Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not kicked out of Gaza, Israel will act with force you have not known before.

“Take the advice of the U.S. President: return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open up for you — including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation.”

This is the second Jewish Holocaust.

During WWII Jews lost their physical bodies.
Now, with the Gaza Genocide, Jews have lost their souls.

Which is worse, losing your body or your soul?

…but kindly please explain why do the Zionists want to ‘increase world wide anti-Semitism”?

Your question was posed to Polli, but I will make my own quick contribution.

I am assuming that you question is rhetorical.

“Israel” has always sold itself as place of safety for Jews.
The more “antisemitism” (real or imagined) that there is worldwide
the more fear “Israel” can stoke in Jews the more colonists it can attract to itself.

Here is a contribution from Caitlin Johnstone,
who writes about “antisemitism” being wielded as a whip by Zionists and pro-Zionists.

I write so much about the fake “antisemitism crisis” not only because it’s being used to destroy civil rights throughout the western world, but because it’s one of the most dark and disturbing things I’ve ever witnessed. 

It’s been so intensely creepy watching all of western society mobilize around a complete and utter fiction in order to stomp out all criticism of a foreign state. It’s about as dystopian a thing as you can possibly imagine, all these pundits and politicians pretending to believe that Jewish safety is seriously being threatened by an epidemic of antisemitism which must be aggressively silenced by any means necessary. All to shut down opposition to the worst inclinations of a genocidal apartheid state and the complicity of our own western governments with its crimes.

And we’re all expected to treat this scam seriously. Anyone who says the emperor has no clothes and calls this mass deception what it is gets tarred with the “antisemite” label and treated as further evidence that we’re all a hair’s breadth from seeing Jews rounded up onto trains again if we don’t all hurry up and shut down anti-genocide protests on university campuses. They’re not just acting out a fraudulent melodrama staged to rob us of our rights, they’re demanding that we participate in it by pretending it’s not what it plainly is.

It’s not just tyranny, it’s tyranny that orders people to clap along with it. It’s such a disgusting, evil thing to do to people. Such psychologically dominating abusive behavior. The more you look at it, the creepier it gets.

 

Which is more potent,
real or imagined “antisemitism”?

“Bring it on!”, ‘Israel’ shouts.
