Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Wednesday released a video condemning the rampant antisemitic protests that have erupted on the campuses of “elite” universities in the US.
“What’s happening on America’s college campuses is horrific,” Netanyahu said. “Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students and Jewish faculty. This is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s. It’s unconscionable. It has to be stopped. It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally. But that’s not what happened.”
“The responses of several university presidents were shameful. Fortunately, state, local, and federal officials – many of them have responded differently but there has to be more. More has to be done. It has to be done not only because they attack Israel, that’s bad enough, not only because they want to kill Jews wherever they are, that’s bad enough, it’s also when you listen to them, it’s also because they say not only ‘Death to Israel, death to the Jews,’ but ‘Death to America.’ And this tells us that there is an antisemitic surge here that has terrible consequences.”
“We see this exponential rise of antisemitism throughout America and Western societies as Israel tries to defend itself against genocidal terrorists, genocidal terrorists who hide behind civilians. Yet it is Israel that is falsely accused of genocide, Israel that is falsely accused of starvation and all sundry war crimes. It’s all one big libel. But that’s not new. We’ve seen in history that antisemitic attacks were always preceded by vilification and slander, lies that were cast against the Jewish people that are unbelievable yet people believed them.”
“What is important now is for all of us, all of us who are interested and cherish our values and our civilization, to stand up together and to say enough is enough. We have to stop antisemitism because antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine. It always precedes larger conflagrations that engulf the entire world.”
“So I ask all of you: Jews and non-Jews alike, who are concerned with our common future and our common values to do one thing: stand up, speak up, be counted. Stop antisemitism now.”

Yes. Those living in America are from Nazi Germany generations ago. Evil is that. Christians are evil enemies too. We stand alone those in blended families don’t come near me ever. You are filth. You knew not to blend you cared less shoved in our faces take your blends of Christian’s crap and leave Or leave them and return. Like Ezra’s time. No gentiles no Muslims
What Bibi’s governmnent did in 2021 is ALSO Reminiscent Of 1930s Germany.

Has the liberal philosophy of open borders, combined with the enormous financial contributions to Universities (Development offices, faculty seats, student scholarships, student clubs, etc.) allowed insidious agents of foreign governments and belief systems to capture the leadership of academia, using it for their political agendas? Do we follow the money, or the political ties, or who pulls the strings, or the organizational players in these protests to identify who the hyper haters are that push/influence our citizens to hate Israel, America, Whites, etc. When found what are the consequences? Jail, deportation, or is this the legal battleground of free speech, etc.?
The Zionist leader is spouting his usual lies and propaganda equating his Zionist State with Jews and at the same time purposely ignoring that it is his Zionist State and its big lie of its claim to be “Jewish” that is the cause of all this trouble for Jews everywhere.
The Zionist State is Zionist, not Jewish. Jews are in no way responsible for anything that the Zionist State does or does not do. Unfortunately, the Zionist Big Lie that its State is “Jewish” continues unabated, and that is the reason that gentiles incorrectly blame Jews for this latest Zionist war and the Zionists’ actions there, regardless of right or wrong.
Between the NK, woke, and anti-Semitic responders the enemies of real Jews will be emboldened to subjugate all of them. Pesach is the time of charess (freedom) over subjugation, and the march toward Kabbalas HaTorah. Increase your learning!
Hakatan
You cldnt’ve been more articulate. Every word holds true + a lot more.
Bibi Is a war monger and Jews globally suffer from anti-Semitism due to The Zionist State.
There’s nothing reminiscent of 1939. It’s the horrible war crimes of the Israeli government that is causing harm to us.
Only Bibis is responsible for the rise of anti-Semitism. Nobody else. We Yidden have to work harder to disavow any connection with the heretic Zionist State.
The world needs to know that Judaism is not Zionism and that Israel Is not a Jewish state. It is a evil Zionist state
It’s not HaKatan, it’s really Moishe Groys being holier-than-thou spouting his copycat NK script. The heiliger Satmer Ruv zatzal said that the goyim who say are “anti-Zionist” are really antisemites with another hat; so the onslaught by “anti-Zionists” from the umos ha’olam is really against Am Yisroel and HKBH. HaKatan, do everyone a favor and diminish yourself just a tiny bit more and disappear
YosefChaim:
The Satmar Rav never said that. That is also a silly and obviously non-provable assertion.
There is no source for such nonsense, of course.
In fact, the Satmar Rav wrote (in his Al HaGeula) that it is a mitzva gedola to let the goyim know that the Zionists do not represent the Jews. Any objective non-idolater should easily understand the benefit in doing so.
For anyone who cares about Jews the world over, as did the Satmar Rav, they would be wise to learn from the Satmar Rav and act accordingly.
So let me ge this straight. You do NOT endorse NK and their antics? A simple yes I do or no I don’t answer will suffice.
