I wonder whether Israeli hasbara and smear campaigns will become increasingly subject to the law of diminishing returns as the world finally recognises the criminal, racist entity for what it is?
At the end of the day voting does count for something, which is why both Trump and Israel would really prefer authoritarianism. Democracy is not helpful to genocide...
Caity Johnstone teaches us that if you are not called an "antisemite" at least three times a day, then you're doing it wrong.
I get called an antisemite plenty enough, even though my views have not changed from the times I was in physical confrontations in Kiev, ripping down the antisemitic posters put up by bonafide Nazis, who now are labeled "freedom fighters".
Recently I referred to the old song that says «You ain't been doing nothing if you ain't been called a red». Well, you ain't been doing nothing for Palestine if you ain't been called an anti-Semite.
The Ukraine is indeed a cesspit of neo-Nazism. The Western media reported this fact frequently until the Ukraine became a Yankee puppet and proxy for the US’s ill-considered war against Russia; then suddenly not a word more.
To be fair, when I lived in Ukraine, nationalists were seen as freaks and losers, before the nationalist ideology was the key to getting to join The Club.
The irony is that Zionist demands for double standards and special pleading, their insistence that anyone who utters the faintest criticism of Israel is an antisemite indistinguishable from a Hitler or Himmler, has created more genuine antisemites than all the inbreds ever to post on Stormfront.
From the Zionist perspective, this is a feature, not a bug, as it provides a pretext to demand more double standards and special pleading.
Exactly. The Zionist entity craves anti-Semitism. It's the best way to promote further settler-colonialism in occupied Palestine.
Of course, gathering the entire Jewish population (whatever «Jew» may mean) in a small place would play right into the hands of those who would destroy Jews. Don't expect consistency from Zionists.
Like the boy who cried «Wolf!» in the fable, the Zionist entity has overplayed its hand and left many people jaded by its incessant defamation of anyone who utters a syllable against it.
illegitimacy and threats of violence and death have become no more than an irritating background hum, like blowflies hovering above a rotten corpse.
The crowning irony is that Israel,even as it invokes the Holocaust as justification for its unconscionable brutality and destruction, is digging its own grave. Something that Jews and others were forced to do during the Shoa itself.
It is sometimes quite difficult to come to terms with the depth of “doublethink” required to maintain the opinions that the apologists hold.
Israel and its American thug will violate the ceasefire as soon as Israel has time to reload. Iran will be ritually blamed. This is just regrouping, that is all.
Expect Cuomo to run in the general to make sure Mamdani loses (by splitting the Team D ticket) combined with an all-out propaganda blitz, much of which will have no obvious connection to Israel or Palestine.
Far as I can tell, 'twas ever thus. Just the identity of the sacred cows changes.
Karl Lüger (the surname means "liar") was the very popular and very populist mayor of Vienna in the late 19th/early 20th century, and owed much of his success to his rabid antisemitism. Apparently in private he was far more mellow, but he knew what the crowds wanted.
Agree somewhat FF but you can’t deny that social media has only helped to amplify this. Also digital media has certainly shortened users attention spans, people quickly form opinions based on their biases which the algorithms have fed them. My own slightly biased take on our current state of affairs is that the majority of people think of politics as analogous to some sort of game show, they can just passively watch and don’t really have to take part. Then occasionally they get to vote for the most charismatic contestant.
Politicians know they’re competing for attention in an oversaturated media environment, so they lean into spectacle.
Yes, there is still a general election in november and it is a guarantee that the ruling class will pull out all the stops to make sure the people's representitive is destroyed. Expect false accusations of antisemitism to be hurled at him nonstop. The right wing capitalist and zionist democratic party establishment would much prefer that republicans win than to allow anyone that puts people before profit and who isn't loyal to the ruling class to get anywhere near power. https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/the-anti-zionist-candidate-wins-the
I would not be surprised if the smears that will be used have nothing to do with zionism. From the zionist perspective, it doesn't matter what they smear Mamdani with, as long as the smears convince his supporters not to vote for him.
We’ll see how it goes. He is the son of Mira Nair, an amazing Indian film maker who is a keen observer of society and a critic of it. I have hope for him.
It seems Israeli society truly lives in a delusional bubble. Military and political analysts have pointed out that it was Israel that wanted the ceasefire. Also, as has been the case since October 2023, Israel did not achieve any of its stated objectives. The regime in Iran still stands and the nuclear program still exists. Furthermore a country in West Asia was finally able to hit back hard against Israel’s aggression. Despite the loss of high ranking military leadership, nuclear scientists and destruction, from where I sit it seems to me it is Iran has come out ahead. The myth of Israeli military invincibility has finally been broken, and the IDF can no longer do what it wants, where it wants and when it wants. Decapitation of leadership, mass murder sprees and mass destruction do not necessarily lead to victory. The armed resistance in Gaza is still operating with command and control intact and inflicting major pain on the IDF ground troops. The IDF failed in its attempt to reach the Litani River despite murdering the leadership of Hizbollah and eventually had to ask for a ceasefire. The attempt at regime change in Iran has also failed miserably. According to the well known cliche - only crazy people do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. Only a genocidal society would see a high number of civilian deaths as a ‘victory’.
I’m so happy for your stance on paywalls. There are a number of people that I have stopped following because they either limit what you can access or won’t allow you to comment, which I think is a rather parasitic capitalist approach! If I could I would definitely pay to subscribe but the choice should be up to each individual! Forcing people to use pay subscriptions, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of spreading important messages and smells sadly of putting financial gain ahead of decency.
Thank you. I think it is an insult to humanity that we monetise everything. I too have had the same experience with some writers on Substack where I realised I couldn’t comment because only paid subscribers were given the privilege… So I just restack with a comment sometimes instead of commenting directly on articles. Some people have actually started to make a living out of Substack. I can’t tell people not to do it. It’s their business. But I don’t participate in this. The new series of podcasts that I started which is about psychotherapy is also completely free of charge.
Easiest is to go to my website: fullyhuman.co.uk and it’s under Videos. They’re also on Spotify and on my YouTube channel. The name of the series is ‘Taking the mystery out of therapy’. I have just started so it’s all quite rustic, but I think it’s still clear and accessible. I have uploaded the third episode yesterday. 🙏🏼
I was hoping that Iran would continue to destroy Israel's vital infrastructure. I hoped that this might collapse the State of Israel. I am sick at heart to hear "Israel is collapsing". I want to yell at the computer, "Collapse! When will it collapse!!??" Not soon enough, however soon. I spent many years earlier this century in love with a woman who damaged my life severely because of her narcissism. When I finally was able to detach myself from her I researched all I could find about narcissism, trying to get some objectivity about what had happened to me and why. From what this woman told me about her own history and from her behaviour, she checked almost every box of Dr Hare's psychopathy checklist. it gives me the creeps now to recall how deeply I was hypnotized by her. My innate need to be kind was used against me. You know how it goes. I believe I began to apply the NPD concept to Trump before I read your ascription of him as a probable NPD.
The experience of being charmed out of my wits and then suddenly seeing that I had been literally duped and robbed had this upside.
I’m so sorry James. The impact of people with PDs on others can be devastating. I work with victims of this all the time and I even run a closed support group of clients who were all affected by someone with a PD. People need support often because others tend to minimise or dismiss this so victims can’t always talk to others about it.
People with PD are often really good at what they do, and anyone can fall victim to them. It’s completely normal for people to be angry or disappointed with themselves and there are good reasons for feeling this way. But it’s never the prey’s fault that they got caught.
People with PDs are the predators in humanity, and I am guessing they had a role to play in our species’ survival, which is why about 20% of humans are born with a genetic predisposition to not develop a prefrontal cortex properly. There is always a genetic component in PD.
But either way, successful predators are often very attractive in some way and they can be very seductive. If they weren’t, they would ‘starve’. So, while everything you feel is totally valid, none of it was your fault.
I give my clients two medals sometimes. One for sticking with the relationship for as long as they did and trying to make it work, and the other for getting out when they did. I am glad that you were able to disengage, and thanks for being honest and telling your story.
Jewish supporter of Mamdani here. Here is why he won https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/the-anti-zionist-candidate-wins-the unlike what right-wing capitalist pro-billionaire democrats usually do, he actually ran on a pro working class, pro people platform, (not pro corporate profit and pro elite as democrats usually do) and he got massive support for that. This is what people are hungry for (this is why people ran to trump and other fake "populists" when the democratic party panders to billionaires and not to the people)
However, there is still a general election in November and it is a guarantee that the uber-rich ruling class will pull out all the stops to make sure the people's representitive is destroyed. Expect false accusations of "antisemitism" and "pro-terrorist" and "anti-american" to be hurled at Mamdani nonstop (the billionaires' favorite weapon to destroy any uprising by the people).
The right wing capitalist and zionist democratic party establishment would much prefer that republicans win than to allow anyone who puts people before profit and who isn't loyal to the ruling class and who isn't zionist to get anywhere near power (cuomo will almost certainly run as independent to split the democratic vote and give the mayor sit to republican capitalist billionaires, the buddies of the right-wing zionist and capitalist democrat establishment)
Thank you for reading my essay and for your comment. I still hope that he wins the elections, but I know that Israel and its helpers will do everything in their power to block him. I am hopeful because people are clearly fed up and Israel’s unfathomable depravity is laid bare for everyone to see.
Where else would a newspaper report on a municipal election on the other side of the world? In the US, it would be surprising to read anything in a newspaper about a mayoral election in London or Paris or Beijing, never mind a lengthy screed that attacked certain candidates head on.
It is true that settler-occupied Kanón:no (colonially «New York City») has a large Jewish population, but that doesn't make its elections any of the business of the settler-colonial population occupying Palestine. As Avigail says, everything in the Zionist entity is all about Jews, to the point that others exist only for the sake of advancing the Zionist agenda. It's sick and certainly racist.
Avigail, again a much-needed insightful piece. You know, when you wrote "Israel frames the election of a city’s mayor—not a head of state—who isn’t an Israel sycophant, as an “emergency” not just for Israel but for ‘the Jews’." --- indeed, not having heard of Mamdani as of a week back, the news cycle capture had me reminded of this tweet which I totally relate to (being neither in the US or in any geography connected to this topic). The only rephrasing I'd do is to replace "american imperialism" with "jewish narrative monopoly"

"It's pretty hilarious to watch all the people who lectured us on democracy and droned on about how we should "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" have suddenly decided that ACTUALLY the best course of action is to refuse to accept the outcome of the election (Cuomo) or to sabotage the party's nominee so the guy who left the party a couple years ago can win again."
The article you quoted cites an Emerson poll of June 24, which has Cuomo at 35% and Mandami at 32%, when in fact Mandami won with 44% and Cuomo had 36%. How did the poll get it so wrong? Are they being done with AI now?
Polls often get things wrong. When I studied political science I remember learning that the very act of polling has an impact on the results. For example, if a poll shows a candidate ahead, then voters who would otherwise support them, might not turn out to vote because they assume that the candidate is safe.

Possible. Screaming "antisemite!" at anyone who points out your crimes has a tendency towards diminishing returns.
Your line starting, “screaming ‘antisemite!’… reads to me like a poem.
I'd prefer to write less unpleasant poetry.

How did things get so so dystopian?
How can you have proper political dialogue when candidates know they are walking through a virtual minefield without a detector.
It’s toxic.

Israel is well and truly behind this as you could read in the article I translated.
To be fair "vote blue no matter who!" is a trope in every US election.
The real emergency is Israel targeting and killing tens of thousands of little children. That’s where all eyes should be focused on.

Very interesting observations. Thank you. That goes along with "push polls," which are created to influence voters.
Time to primary the fuck out of Schumer in Brooklyn. Truly one of the worst the Dems have on almost every issue.
