Often jewish claims – often made extremely loudly and picked up by the mainstream media who act as a bullhorn for the weird nonsense claims from jewish groups – about ‘anti-Semitism’ and ‘hate crimes’ are so absolutely ludicrous that one wonders if jews don’t live in a parallel universe.
In fact, I’d argue they often do as a result of their apparently intrinsic – although often implicit – belief in the jewish superiority over non-jews and that what they believe to true actually is because they are the so-called ‘chosen people’.
One such instance occurred in May of this year in the San Francisco neighbourhood of Noe Valley where – as J. R. Stone of ABC 7 News – writes:
‘There is a battle brewing in one San Francisco neighborhood over a mural being called antisemitic.
Some are saying the mural needs to go while others are defending it.
"It's very one-sided. It's very violent, and it's not a call for peace," said Matt, who asked us not to use his last name.
He is giving us his opinion about a mural in San Francisco's Noe Valley. One that he walks by every day with his child and reads, "Stop the genocide in Gaza now."
He'd like to see a message conveying a ceasefire and the release of hostages. Matt showed us the section that angers him the most.’ (1)
Now it behoves me to point out that the claims that the mural is ‘very violent’ and is ‘not a call for peace’ from ‘Matt’ – who is probably jewish – are simply untrue as one can immediately see by actually looking at the mural concerned.
For the sake of transparency, I reproduce it below:
Clearly it is not ‘violent’ and implicitly calls for peace in Gaza – hence ‘Stop the Genocide in Gaza Now!’ – so how on earth does ‘Matt’ reach such a counter-factual conclusion?
Well helpfully J. R. Stone also includes his – and other jews’ – reasoning for these claims in his article:
‘"So that dollar sign replaces a Jewish star, historically for all-time replacing a Jewish star with money has been patently antisemitic," Matt said.
The Jewish Community Relations Council says they have received numerous complaints about the mural.
"The message is outrageous. It's a form of blood libel against the Jewish community," said Tyler Gregory who is the Jewish Community Relations Council CEO. "The bloody visuals droppings the Star of David, replaced with a dollar sign. It's a classic trope that Jews control the government or some form of manipulation, and it reads like textbook antisemitism."’ (2)
Right so ‘Matt’s’ rather lurid ‘interpretation’ of the mural is based around the fact that on the cartoon bombs the artist has replaced the star of David on the Israeli flag with a dollar sign and this is allegedly ‘patently anti-Semitic’. That this charge is just nuts is obvious from simply pointing out that it clearly references US funding – hence the dollar sign – of Israel’s war on Hamas and invasion of the Gaza strip.
It doesn’t reference jews in the slightest and the claim it is ‘patently anti-Semitic’ like ‘Matt’ claiming that broadcasting the Israeli flag onto say the Brandenberg Gate is ‘patently anti-Semitic’ because of the association of the Brandenberg Gate with the Third Reich.
It simply doesn’t make any sense, but then when did jewish claims have to make sense?
Then we move on to Tyler Gregory – the CEO of the ‘Jewish Community Relations Council’ – who claims more or less the same thing but in extended form:
‘The bloody visuals droppings the Star of David, replaced with a dollar sign. It's a classic trope that Jews control the government or some form of manipulation, and it reads like textbook antisemitism.’ (3)
Notice that Gregory doesn’t explain why replacing the star of David on the Israeli with the dollar sign nor how the ‘bloody visuals’ are ‘anti-Semitic’ but rather claims this references ‘jewish control of the government’ – which the mural never implies directly or otherwise but rather just US support for and funding of Israel – which we are presumably just supposed to ‘accept’ on the strength of the fact that Gregory said it in typical jewish fashion - rather than question such an identification that appears to be based on what Gregory (and ‘Matt’) think it means not what is actually means.
The reality is that this is simply an anti-Zionist political mural and has nothing whatsoever to do with anti-Semitism and claiming that it does shows why anti-Zionists are increasingly realizing that anti-Zionism will never succeed without anti-Semitism because the problem isn’t ‘Zionists’ but rather jews.
