Our fear of being antisemites...

December 14th. It is the 68th day since the genocide in Gaza began. Israel has killed more than 22,000 civilians, with over 8,000 being children. In Gaza, there are 7,000 missing or unaccounted for, and the number of casualties is staggering, with hospitals overwhelmed and more than 50,000 injured awaiting treatment. For the past two months, Gaza has been without electricity, and access to water, and over 2 million surviving inhabitants are unable to access food and essential supplies. Israel restricts humanitarian aid to Gaza from entering.

Searching 'Jew-hatred' on Google brings up Wikipedia's 'Antisemitism' entry.

Here's the definition: "Hostility, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews as a group. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite. Antisemitism is generally considered to be a form of racism."


What crimes must a person commit to be considered antisemitic? Antisemitism, a crime beyond imagination, ranks as the gravest and unforgivable crime against humanity. I write this with the awareness that I am not committing a crime and with the hope of breaking down one of the fear walls constructed in front of humanity. Because without breaking down this wall, the genocide in Gaza won't stop.


The first cracks in this wall have emerged. President Joe Biden, a staunch supporter and accomplice of the genocide in Israel, expressed caution during a White House reception for Hanukkah, saying, "We must be very careful. The world's opinion can change overnight. We cannot allow that to happen." Biden's reservations should be interpreted as the fear that the rising global anger against Israel and the United States, especially in Europe, amid the Gaza genocide, could turn into a lasting opposition.


America is aware that it has passed the point of no return and is now entering an irreversible path. We witness how John Kirby, the White House Communications Coordinator, struggles during press conferences, stumbling when faced with questions about genocide and war crimes.


It seems that America intends to start a repair process while believing that their most potent weapon is the 'Holocaust Industry.' Let me state this clearly: they are wrong and desperate.


Two concrete examples surfaced in the public eye this week. Harvard University, America's most prestigious school, labeled pro-Palestinian and Gaza genocide awareness actions on its campus as a "crime against Jews" and forced an apology from Rector Claudine Gay to the U.S. Congress.


Similarly, Congress considered the protests by students at the University of Pennsylvania, demanding an end to the massacres of civilians in Gaza, as antisemitism, and pressured Rector Liz Magill to resign.


It is evident that the 'Holocaust Industry' is attempting to extend its emotional influence over humanity into the scientific world through genocide museums, the film industry, and information networks.


The Jewish lobby in America is trying to dominate the academic world through political circles and donors, preventing the transformation of anti-Israel sentiment into societal backlash through universities. However, they are making mistakes upon mistakes. In the past two months, we have observed that the new generation of Americans and Europeans, living in the age of social media, have become anti-Israel as they watched the Gaza genocide. Now, they are getting more informed through sanctions.


Is opposing the genocide in Gaza, objecting to the killing of babies and women, considered antisemitism? According to Wikipedia, depicting Israel negatively or accusing it of genocide, for example, is considered antisemitism. It is that sharp and clear.


We need to ask loudly:

If we won't be enemies to Israel, then who will we be enemies to?

If we won't be angry at Israel for killing more than 8,000 children in Gaza, then who will we be angry at?

Condemning Israel after attacks that destroyed hospitals, schools, convoys, and camps, where there is no safe place, is not Jew-hatred. We must now break down the fear walls that America and Israel have erected in front of all humanity.
