Yep. Precisely.

Ok, it’s too much, I need to address this. Telling me (or anyone else) that my posts are pointless because I’m preaching to the choir tells me one thing about you, you are totally ignorant about how social media works. If I have one follower, and I post something compelling, and that one follower shares it, I just accessed their friends and followers and exited my own echo chamber. Furthermore, the algorithms are working overtime to make sure that your content is viewed by the other side, because that is what gets attention and clicks. Think about how much anti-Israel content you see in your feed, and you’ll understand how hard the algorithm works to anger us all because they know that that will lead to more engagement on the post. It does exactly the same for the other side, it shows them all the pro-Israel content because it knows full well that that will get them to engage with that content. Since October 7th, my posts have had many billions of impressions, and based on the engagement and the messages that I get, it is safe to say that at least half, if not more, are not my echo chamber. It is for this reason that no one should think they can’t make a difference, that they can’t change minds because they’re only one person and they only have a small number of followers. Again, that’s not how this works. All you need is one friend or follower to share your content and you have just accessed an audience to which you had no access previously. Furthermore, to those telling me that I should not be writing these things because no one is listening, what exactly do you suggest? That we remain quiet and let our enemies own the narrative? Today, on multiple platforms, like TikTok, for example, there is basically only one narrative, the anti-Israel narrative. Why? Because so many people say that they won’t spend time on TikTok because it’s such a swamp. It’s a swamp because those people are not spending time there!! It’s a swamp because there’s only one voice on TikTok and that is the anti-Israel voice. Remaining quiet is not an option. So, to those who continuously tell me in my comments that my posts are pointless, perhaps you should educate yourself about how social media works and how the algorithms make sure that my content is reaching people far out of my echo chamber. 

Oh boy, is this gonna piss off a lot of people. But here’s the thing: That’s exactly the point of what I’m about to write. I’m going to try to explain why Jews and Zionists (same thing) live rent-free in so many people’s heads. I am going to explain why Jews piss off so many people now and throughout history. It’s a question Jews have been asking themselves for thousands of years. “Why do they hate us? After all, we’ve done more for the good of humanity than any other group, and we contribute good disproportionately to our microscopic size. So what is it?” Again, a question so many Jews have asked throughout the generations. Here are some explanations you’ll hear and why they’re simply false. * “They hate us because we control everything.” Well, that’s clearly not true. If we controlled everything, why are we the victims of such a high percentage of hate crimes? Why are the media and organizations like the UN so anti-Israel? If we controlled everything, wouldn’t that be the first thing we’d get rid of—the anti-Jewish bias? * “They hate us because of Israel.” Well, that’s clearly not true because there was no Israel during the Holocaust, so why did they hate us then? Why did Arabs massacre Jews in 1929 before there was even a modern State of Israel? * “They hate us because we are white colonialists.” Well, that’s clearly not true because in the Holocaust, “We weren’t white enough.” * “They hate us out of jealousy because we are rich and successful.” Well, that’s clearly not true because they hated us throughout the generations, even when we weren’t that successful. * “They hate us because we integrate into their society and try to influence everything.” Well, that’s clearly not true because they hated us when we maintained our Jewish identity and did not integrate. They called us parasites. Listen, we can go on and on with this list. When it comes to Jew-hatred, they’ve found every excuse in the book. In fact, their excuse for hating Jews changes every time. This time, they’re calling it anti-Zionism. Before we get to the real explanation, I’ll remind you that the vast majority of Jews believe they belong in their homeland, especially after everything we’ve endured. In other words, most Jews are Zionists. If you’re anti-Zion, aka Jerusalem, you are against the Jews having a safe haven—one state of their own in a world with tens of Muslim states and countless Christian states. If you’re against that, you’re against Jews. Besides, if it was Zionists they were after, why are random Jews being attacked everywhere in the West? Unless it is safe for those attackers to assume that all Jews are Zionists, in which case, “Anti-Zionist = Anti-Jew.” You can’t have it both ways. Are Jews Zionists by default, or is there a difference between Zionists and Jews? OK, now to the real explanation. If you make a list of accusations thrown at the Jews, now and throughout history, you’ll notice something very interesting, and that is that in almost all cases, the ones doing the accusing are actually guilty of that exact thing. Every accusation against Israel and the Jews is an admission of guilt by those pointing a finger at the Jews. Think about it. Take any accusation. Literally anything. * Genocide: The Jews are guilty of genocide? That’s cute. Want to know who is guilty of genocide? Hamas is. The Nazis were. Every empire that came after the Jews, all the way back to ancient Egypt, when there was a decree to throw all Jewish male babies into the Nile. Israel’s enemies are the ones guilty of genocide. * Apartheid: Israel is guilty of apartheid? That’s actually hilarious. There are millions of Arabs and Christians living in Israel with more rights than they have in their own countries. But it goes deeper than that. Want to know what apartheid looks like? Check out Israel’s enemies, the most obvious one being South Africa. South Africa accusing Israel of apartheid is actually hilarious. But it’s not only them. Want to know what will happen if I, as a Jew, enter a Muslim country or a Muslim town in Judea and Samaria? Well, assuming I’d even be able to get in somehow, I’d be lynched immediately. Each Arab town in Judea and Samaria has a sign by the entrance that basically says, “No Jews allowed.” That is apartheid. * Ethnic cleansing: Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing? Again, cute. Remind me, please, how many Jews lived in Muslim countries like Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and so many others, and remind me how many live there now? That is ethnic cleansing. * Indiscriminate killing? Israel is guilty of that? Funny. Do I need to remind you what Hamas did on 10/7? That is indiscriminate killing, and anyone who doesn’t support Israel now supports that. * Sex crimes? Again, comical. We know exactly what Hamas did to our women on 10/7 because they live-streamed it. We also know that the Nazis, among many other things, were depraved perverts. Israel’s enemies are the ones guilty of sex crimes. * Baby killers? Right. Now go watch the footage from 10/7, and you’ll see what baby killers are. The same is true for all of Israel’s enemies throughout the generations, again, all the way back to ancient Egypt. * White colonialists? I can’t help but laugh. In the Holocaust, we weren’t white enough for Hitler. Also, Israel colonizes? Israel is the size of New Jersey in a sea of Arab states that were indeed colonized. That is colonization. In fact, take a look at the countries that are the most vocally anti-Israel and notice how they all stole land and colonized. That is colonialism. * The Jews are evil. Judaism is evil. The Talmud is evil. LOL. Go read the Quran if you want to know what evil looks like. * Pedos? Yes, they accuse us of that too. Remind me how old Muhammad’s wife was? Remind me how many priests have been caught abusing kids? Remind me what Hamas did to kids on 10/7? That is pedophilia. * Jewish terrorists and violent settlers? Yeah, sure, it is Judaism that is the issue, not radical Islam, which is responsible for millions of deaths globally and well over 90% of global terror. Right. Want to know what terrorism looks like? Check out radical Islam. When a Jew says “Baruch Hashem,” you smile. When a Christian says “Praise the Lord,” you say Amen. When a Muslim says “Allahu Akbar,” you better run. THAT is a religion that supports terrorism. Listen, the list is long, but here’s the rule: Anything the antisemites blame the Jews for is exactly what they are guilty of. So, now that we see that, it all makes sense. I believe psychologists would call it projection. I call it a mirror. The Jewish people provide a mirror to the most immoral people throughout history. When they look at the Jewish people, they see a people that emphasizes things like the family unit, education, charity, and kindness—things that have become all but taboo in modern societies. When they see a nation that cares so deeply about human life, a nation that teaches “Thou Shall Not Murder,” and then they look at themselves, that pisses them off. No immoral person wants to be reminded just how immoral they are. The Jews are that reminder. While countries fail and turn into chaos, they look at Israel and the incredible, unparalleled success of this tiny country, and that pisses them off. They are reminded what a failure they are. When a person fails to succeed in life, they look at the Jew who is successful, and that pisses them off. When they look at the depraved society they’ve built, a society in which sex and all things related to sex have become immoral, they are reminded how Judaism sanctifies the commandment of reproduction, and that pisses them off. Whatever they accuse the Jews of is not only an admission of guilt, but it is also something they are deeply ashamed of, and the Jews just provide a mirror that they are forced to look at, which reminds them how morally bankrupt they are. Literally anything they accuse the Jews of is something they are guilty of but don’t want to admit to themselves or others. Why is Europe so obsessed with Israel? Why do they accuse Israel of genocide, racism, and indiscriminate killing? Um, open a history book and learn about Europe pre-Holocaust. They are ashamed, as they should be, so instead of facing their own crimes, they project them onto the Jews so they can calm their conscience. The Arab world knows full well how it kicked Jews out of their lands. They know full well how racist they are and how they want to destroy the West. They know full well how they’ve brought sexual perversion to the West. They know full well how all of their leaders, now and throughout history, were perverts, but instead of owning it, they deflect and blame the Jews for the exact thing they’re guilty of. The Jews are a mirror that reminds them how immoral they are. The liberal left today pretends to turn sexual perversion into a value, an ideal, and deep down they know how sick it is to bring drag queens into kindergartens so they can twerk in front of the kids. But instead of facing their own deviancy, they try to project that onto the Jews. The Jews are a mirror and remind them how broken their moral compass is. This is the reason for antisemitism throughout the generations. If you open a history book and look at the empires that came after the Jews, you’ll notice one thing in common: They first threw morality out the window. When you put people in the Colosseum to fight to the death for the emperor’s entertainment, you know deep down how immoral you’ve become. Then you need to cope with it somehow, and pointing a finger at someone who has not adopted your sick ways is a lot easier than admitting to yourself that you’re indeed sick. Why is the world so obsessed with the narrative that Israel somehow stole land and kicked the natives out? Gee, I wonder. Remind me how all of those countries came into existence? Yes, that’s right. They stole land and kicked the natives out, sometimes massacring them. Those countries can either confront their own evil ways, or they can just point a finger at this tiny nation that has done nothing but settle in its own eternal homeland. When a country so blatantly adopts false narratives, instead of facing its own shame, it accuses Israel and the Jewish people, who have a clear prohibition against lying. It’s actually amazing to see this. Literally make a list of things the Jews have been accused of in the past and are accused of in the present, and you’ll find that 100% of them are things committed by the accusers, who are ashamed of their own behavior, as they should be. Hearing Germany accuse Israel of genocide, South Africa accuse Israel of apartheid, Turkey accuse Israel of indiscriminate killing, Iran accuse Israel of extremism, the UK accuse Israel of colonialism, and France accuse Israel of racism, you can’t help but laugh. After you finish laughing, ask yourself why these countries spend so much time obsessing over Israel and accusing Israel of the exact thing they are guilty of. How do you explain it? The answer is projection. The last thing they want to do is look in the mirror, and the Jews are exactly that: a mirror. When you are as ugly as the history of these countries is, the last thing you want to do is look in the mirror. The last thing you want is a nation that is a constant reminder of how sick your society has become. And by the way, it’s not only morality that Israel shows the world; it’s also strength. When a politician or a country realizes how weak they are, they don’t want to be reminded how strong Israel is. When a country fights a war in the most immoral way, when it kills millions of innocent people, do you think it wants to be reminded how Israel sends aid into Gaza or vaccinates Gazans? That’ll just remind them how immoral they are, so they flip the script and accuse Israel of the very behavior that they themselves are ashamed of. When a country sees how its youth isn’t building the future—they’re not getting married, they’re not having kids—do you think it wants to be reminded of a country that has both a high GDP and a high birth rate? It just reminds them of their failure. When a country is plagued with mass depression, you think it wants to be reminded how happy Israelis are? When the Arab world realizes how little they’ve contributed to society (hijacking planes and using kids as human shields doesn’t constitute a contribution) and then looks at Israel and everything this tiny country has done to improve the world, that infuriates them, so they come after the source of their own shame and anger. When the west realizes that their countries are plagued with racism and discrimination, instead of acknowledging it and dealing with it, they just take the easy road and blame Israel of exactly that. So that’s it. That’s the secret of Jew-hatred. The more immoral a country becomes, the more unsuccessful an empire becomes, the faster Jew-hatred shows its face, because all the Jews are to these people is one gigantic mirror that they are forced to look into every hour of every day, and they hate that. As they should! Well, to all of those nations, I have bad news. The Jews are not going anywhere. Israel is not going anywhere, this mirror of morality is not going anywhere. So either get your stuff together, fix your own societies, address your own failures, or be prepared to continue looking into the mirror that is the greatest nation the world has ever known, the Jewish nation.
