Shocking anti-Semitic hatefest in downtown Seattle
JEWS DEPICTED AS EATING GENTILE BABIES AND DRINKING THEIR BLOOD.
As Hamas Rockets continued to rain down on Israeli population centers, a large anti-Israel rally took place in Seattle’s Westlake Center this Saturday, July 12. Protesters screamed anti-Israel slogans calling for the destruction of the Jewish state while waving signs and marching through the downtown sidewalks. But this was more than a rally in opposition to Israel or her defensive operations. The signs being waved and the chants hollered constituted a shocking public display of shameless Jew hatred right in the heart of Seattle.
Signs comparing Jews to Nazis were commonplace (see below).
Comparing Jews to Nazis was a common theme.
This sign (below) compares Jews defending themselves to the Nazi slaughter of Jews. “It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionist Jews do to Palestinian Arabs much of what the Nazis did to Jews“.
More comparing Jews to Nazis in downtown Seattle.
Comparing Israel’s defense against a rain of rockets to the systematic gassing and murder of European Jewry.
The truth was in short supply. Many posters asserted that Israel had halted food and medicine to Gaza during the current Hamas provoked conflagration.
While supplying one’s enemy in a time of war seems to The Mike Report to border on insanity, according to Ynet “Israel has allowed some 200 trucks to cross into the strip, including some 200,000 liters of fuel daily, in an attempt to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza”. Israel continues to provide medical services to Gaza residents. “Over 20 Palestinians, including eight Gazan children were treated at Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center, as part of Israel’s longstanding cooperation with the Palestinian Authority”.
Protesters spread the libel that Israel blocked food and medicine into Gaza
Classic anti-Semitic themes of Jewish greed were on display.
Classic anti-Semitic tropes were widely displayed like this one invoking Jewish greed.
While you may have thought that blood libel accusations are a relic of the past, in fact the slander was alive and well in downtown Seattle this past Saturday. The below poster depicts a Jew eating a gentile child along with a cup of blood to wash it all down.
Circled in red: Poster depicting a Jew eating a gentile child with a cup of blood on the side.
Another angle on the anti-Semitic blood libel poster.
Many signs asserted that old anti-Semitic meme of Jews purposefully killing gentile children.
The old blood libel that Jews purposefully kill children.
Another common theme at Seattle’s pro-Hamas rally was the accusation that Jewish organizations support murder. (below).
Accusing pro-Israel advocacy group AIPAC of supporting “the murder of children”.
This sign (below) accuses Israel of Genocide “Genocide is not justice” and then promotes genocide “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free“. The river is the Jordan, the sea is the Mediterranean and the goal is a Jew free Middle East.
This sign accuses Israel of genocide and then advocates for the extermination of the Jewish state.
This Hamas sympathizer hauling a sign advocating non violence at an anti-Semitic hatefest wins the 2014 irony award.
Hamas sympathizer advocating non-violence?
No violence sign at a pro Hamas rally.
What better way to depict the morally obtuse upside down world in which these “protesters reside” than this upside down poster.
Doesn’t know right from wrong or upside down from right side up.
Can you feel the love?
The pro-Hamas rally was organized by Voices for Palestine (Seattle) – Video below.

Pretty amusing that the racist “hatefest” you mention is only occurring in the comment section of your blog.
Ooh, look, a baby troll! They’re so cute when they’re young. Wudgy wudgy woo.
lol American values?
Pingback: Why Is The ‘Anti-War’, #FreePalestine, Pro #Hamas Crowd Almost ALWAYS Violent & Nasty?? | The Mad Jewess
You should be taken out and hanged for treason!! American values??? Since when is the murder and butchery of a defenseless population (in Gaza) of women and children part of “American values”???? The Ashkenazi Zionist Jews are the Anti-Christ! These people are land thieves, murders, terrorist, and liars. They are not “victims.” They are “criminals” and “tyrants” who try to suppress any and all “objections” to their “butchery” by using “corrupted politicians” and the media they own to propagandize against their crimes against humanity in Palestine.
Thanks Johnny – submitted as Exhibit A: But it’s about the “occupation” right?
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny… Those “defenseless” Gazan angels have launched 2000 terror missiles into Israel, each one targeting civilians (except for a few launched at a nuclear reactor, hoping to release radiation which would kill thousands of civilians). They have killed about two dozen well trained, well armed IDF soldiers (7 at once with an anti-tank missile). Apparently you expect Israel to just absorb the weeks of missile attacks and do nothing to stop them. That’s what you would do, if your neighbors were shooting at you, right? Poor little deluded, hypocritical Johnny…
Don’t take the troll bait, @garykatzjokesrgood4u.
You’re right, but it’s like trying to ignore a bully. Or an obnoxious pro-Palestinian demonstrator who’d getting right in your face.
I can’t blame you for it, I’ve done it hundreds of times, that’s why they keep trying. Just know that you won’t change their minds, but let them know that what they say (when they state “facts”) are easily refutable. Be brief and succinct and put a link to the information that refutes their narrative so they know their narrative is not the final word. If they’re really interested, they’ll go read and maybe learn something.
Honey, take a few minutes and go educate yourself on the history of PALESTINE
This video pushes the “flourishing Jews in the Arab world” lies; it’s like saying slaves were treated better in Arab-controlled lands than they were in European-controlled lands. Jews in Arab lands were still persecuted, controlled, and killed regularly just for being Jews.
Go read up on history, if you really care: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths3/MFroots.html
Only in your mind. You see only what you want to see:)
As some one who lived during this time, many Jews fled to Arab countries run from the Nazis. Most landed in North Africa many went on further to South Africa. There were many already in these countries because of the diaspora so they were nationally Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Egyptian..Persian etc even though ethnically Jewish. What was left of my family fled to Egypt in the middle of the war where we were welcomed and treated fairly and defended against the Nazis. However, after the war there was a big push for Jews to return to Palestine and to a new Jewish state that was literally established on disputed territory between the Arabs and the British. So, we inherited that problem as a new nation. Desperate for a homeland simply because there was nothing to return to in Europe or Russia..Jews didn’t care about the disputes and fought to resolve the disputed territories as their own and pushed further to secure land that would support the defense of the new state going beyond what Israel territories were supposed to be by the British. The Arabs and the young Israel made the mistake of fighting one another instead of looking at the British government who pitted them against each other with this territory mess. When this happened..the ’67 war really created problems for the Jews living in Arab countries…they were forced out and shunned. My family included..seizure of property..assets etc. So, we had really only two choices go to Israel or America. The British didn’t want us because they were still recovering from the war and had no resources to help their own citizens let alone “refugees”. Many returned to Israel and many went to America. It is easy to look at history from only one side because often that is the account we know first hand. However, there is a reason there are so many proverbs in the world that have the meaning..”there are two sides to a coin”..”there are two sides to every story”… it is because it is true and we should seek to understand both sides learn from it and take the only the good and do not repeat the bad.
In 2005, Israel GAVE the “Gazans” the Gush Katif for
peace’, Wheres the peace?
There is none, there will not ever be any.
This isnt even shocking anymore.
And, look at stupid liberal Jews.. THESE are the people you LOVE!
Wacko liberal Jews
Your article is biased and wrong. I was there. Simply Human beings protesting against an injustice.
Israel is committing Genocide.
There is no reason on earth good enough to kill innocent children.
What Israel is doing is inhumane.
“Israel is committing ‘genocide’
Sure..
Shut up already, Its OLD and tiring.
There are THOUSANDS of dead people in Ukraine in less than a year, no outrage from the pro-rocket-pali crowd.
10’s of thousands of dead whites in South Africa–the place where the same drek, ‘apartheid’ crowd that is for pali.
We can see where that went, if we are brave enough to look at the photos of dead Grandma’s, Grand-dads, Aunts, kids (Pali seems to only show children to tug at the world).
I feel zero for the rocket-hurling Hamas.
you feel so bad ‘someone?’
MOVE TO GAZA and wear a Jewish star.
As a reply to some of the comments up there, the majority of the people who went to this protest were as American as you are. If they have a different racial/religious background it doesn’t make them any less of Americans. In fact this country is made of immigrants at any point or another, whether it’s the British colonies, the African Americans, the Mexicans, etc… more so, those people pay taxes, do their duties as American citizens and they might as well enjoy their rights that form the backbone of our declaration of independence.
This country was based on standing up for what’s right even when there were groups who called for injustice, for example, the civil war, and how the dominant group discriminated against African Americans. This is exactly whats happening now, when you look at Palestinian lives as less valuable than Israeli lives. More so, you’re trying to dehumanize all the people who are expressing their opinion just because you don’t like it.
And mainly the reason you don’t like it is because you’re too ignorant to actually look into the subject and research it. Because if you do, you’d realize that Palestine was given to Israelis by Britain in 1947 in the Balfour Declaration, while it had no right to do so. Britain gave Jewish people SOMEBODY ELSE’S COUNTRY.
How some people would try to justify that is by saying “Oh, well the Jews suffered in the Holocaust they deserve their own country”
Yes the Holocaust was one of the most horrifying crimes in the history of mankind, YET, how does that justify Britain giving Jews SOMEBODY ELSE’S COUNTRY! The Islamic world was the only place where Jews where not discriminated against and if anything, that adds insult to the wound.
Referring to what you call “Anti-Semitic” .. Do you even know what that is? Since some of the people in the protest are of middle eastern descent you might as well know that Arabs are Semitic, so would that mean that you’re saying that Arabs are anti-self?
Zionism and Judaism are NOT the same thing. Judaism is a religion, and we the majority of the Americans or Palestinians are people of religion too. We don’t fight Israelis because they’re Jewish, we fight them because they stole our land and made us refugees and killed our families and continue to do so, while the world is complicit with them. If my own brother from my own religion and race kicked me out of my house and killed my children I’d fight him too!
In fact, you can check the latest protests in New York and see Jews standing up for Palestine and condemning Israeli acts and State.
30% of the people killed in Gaza are children. Israel is using illegal weaponry (Phosphorus Gas). Israel is targeting civilians. Gaza is the most dense place on this planet. And yet the bombs continue to fall on Gaza.
This country once stood up for what’s right, for those who couldn’t speak up for themselves. Our freedom is not complete without the freedom of those who can’t defend themselves. In fact we’re guilty. 3 BILLION DOLLARS from US TAX MONEY GO DIRECTLY TO ISRAEL. ISRAEL IS YOUR TAX MONEY AT WORK!
Moreover, for those who argue Hamas has no right to throw bombs at Gaza, resistance is justifies when you’re killing thousands of people by bombing the most dense place on earth. Israel is an ILLEGAL OCCUPATION! OCCUPIER AND OCCUPIED ARE NOT EQUAL !
Read how Israel was established so you’d realize they have no right to be on Palestinian land. Hamas is trying to defend itself against the occupation that created millions of Palestinian refugees.

Arabs have a land, you gasbag, its called the TRANSJORDAN.
BTW: Jew hating creep: This govt gives to over 30 countries, yet, you slobs only bring up ISRAEL.
You probably have said ZERO about the NAZIS in Ukraine.
I am a Jew, who lost most of my family in the holocaust. What is happening in Israel with the Palestinians is not right not by the Torah or basic humanity. It may not be as staggering now compared with the holocaust but to me exiling people from their land, controlling how they live and taking severe military action is how it all started. You cannot justify any killing of innocents. To say they are anti-Semitic for protesting for the family and friends back home is wrong. Are they not our half-brother? Semites themselves? I wish people held protests here so many years ago…it could have made a difference. If you are so concerned that their protests will lead to hatred to the Jews, then please join them and help them find a way to bring peace and safety to their families. We need to learn to help one another live in peace & harmony. Please do your part. If you are a Jew let this be you mitzvah.
Move to Sderot or Ashkelon and THEN tell us what you think.
You just want to be liked, so you align yourself with Jew haters, period.
You clearly don’t want any body to “like” you Jew or non-Jew. That is your preference to go through life like that. Just don’t impress that preference for others. Are you bigger than God who loves us all and wants all of us to love him and each other? Where do you think I live my dear? I spend half my days in Israel. Why do you think I am advocating peace and rights? It is my family, my children, their children I’m advocating the future for.
My wife, The MAD Jewess is not in a popularity contest.
You know very well that Sderot and Ashkelon are rocketed daily.
If you do live in Israel, you are a big reason why there is trouble.
Israel needs the far right and Torah abiding Jews in the Knesset.
And, before you ramble on (as do most Yenta’s) I am David Ben Moshe from the JTF.ORG.
Left wing Jews are a cancer in EVERY country they inhabit–including Israel.
It is clear you do not follow the Torah nor have been taught to be a civil or respectful to your elders. If you are Jewish than you should know this… “You should rise before the elderly and honor the aged”(Lev. 19:32) If you know Hebrew you should know what “zeh shekaneh chachma” means (a person who has acquired wisdom) and should have been taught this by your sava. The Talmud states that the respect we owe the aged applies to Torah scholars and non-Torah scholars, Jews and non-Jews (Kidushin 32b). I respect your youthful passion but it is misplaced. I urge you to speak to your Rabbi for guidance and the behaviors you should exhibit before tackling political matters. Please do not speak for your wife. I may be old fashion in some things but it is the 21st century and she should really have her own thoughts and speak for herself. Yes, I am fully aware of the rockets into Israel.I’m aware of the the 750 now dead in Gaza and I’m aware that Israel is loosing its support from everywhere the further the violence continues. If you love Israel and wish it to continue to exist then you know this cannot go on.
Thank you Mike. Keep doing your good work. Everything seems so upside down…unfortunately it is so hard to counteract brainwashing with facts, don’t seem to work.
Thank you Biffy, exactly.
Yehudit, my condolences to your losses during the Holocaust. I disagree with your statement that it started from “severe military action.” It started because Hamas refused to stop firing terror missiles into Israel. Israel asked them to stop over and over, and Hamas refused. Hamas wanted this fight, because they have become marginalized over the past year or two. They figured a bunch of dead human shields would invigorate their support and refocus attention away from Syria and Iraq, back to them. They were right, even if they are morally wrong. If their opponents weren’t Jews, Gaza casualties would be about 5000 dead by now. It’s hard to fight urban terrorists embedded among civilians. Israel is doing the best they can, under the circumstances.
I want you to think about what you just said, “Gaza casualties would be 5,000 dead by now”. Instead of what, 350 people in 11 days? You find this ok…acceptable collateral damage? If we don’t stop this it will reach 5,000 and more. Israel cannot do this alone and clearly cannot resolve this in a peaceful or casualty free way. They need the international community to intervene to stabilize the region. I see your comments about Hamas. Their actions are continuing the escalation of violence and their terms for ceasefire not focused on the freedoms of the Gazans rather their own political interests which is why most Arab countries do not support Hamas in this fight. Yet, when I say severe military action I mean targets that they know are full of people – like the hospital and the mosque. You may support Israel in their defense..it is their legal statehood right but there is one legal step before this and this is basic human rights, this comes first. If we recognize this and live this..we would not be talking about protecting statehood rights. I know people are deeply divided between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel…do you think God looks at these issues this way. He sees us all as individuals and as individuals we will be judge. Advocate for peace, advocate for humanity, advocate for individual rights and freedoms for everyone equally. I urge those who are taking sides to step back and see it this way. It is the only way to end this all.
@yehudit: Sadly, you’re preaching to the choir here about peace. As Bibi said, “The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.” Try talking about Hamas and the PLO laying down their arms to those who support Hamas and the PLO and see how much hate is heaped on your head by them.
The soft bigotry of pundits thinking Israel is the only entity responsible for peace is a sad turn for educated people. The Palestinians are treated like children without agency, like they have no choice but to act out, lash out, burn, kill, and destroy. Treat the Palestinian arabs like adults and hold them responsible for their uncivilized actions. The more soft bigotry that’s peddled about how the poor child-like Palestinians can’t do anything about big, mean, adult-like Israel, the longer this conflict will continue.
What do you know about my tears? My losses? Or any one else’s for that matter. You must learn empathy and it seems you will learn this the hard way unfortunately. We are not outnumbered, we have the support of the most powerful countries in the world. This will not last if we continue to act in a way that diminishes human rights and extinguishes innocent lives. My comments for equal rights, freedom and peace is about humanity. You are human before you are Jewish or Muslim or whatever. Want to be “Jewish” or “Muslim…start first by the basics –
1) I am the Lord thy God
2) Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
5) Honor thy father and thy mother.
6) Thou shalt not murder.
7) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8) Thou shalt not steal.
9) Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor.
10) Thou shalt not covet anything that belongs to thy neighbor.
Ask yourself…do I live my life in observance of these 100%? If not, there is no way you can manage through life by the other commandments or traditions because you haven’t learned the foundation.
As usual, no tears for your fellow Jews, outnumbered by 300 mill Muslims.

If you cared about humanity, you would look at what is happening in Ukraine. What is happening in South Africa.
You should not be shedding tears over those who want your death.
But, what can I expect from a Liberal, mealy-mouthed Yenta..
I ask you to be respectful and civil in your comments as I have been with your wife and now with you. I am aware of those who do evil things and think evil things. I do not shed a tear for them but I do every thing I can to understand where that hate and evil is coming from to help them. Most are good human beings but they have been so hurt in life with no hope they do not know how else to be. Love, kindness and respect goes a long way to changing those people. Then, there are those who are let’s just plainly say it, from Satan himself. Those are the ones who are relentless in attacking others, provoking and aggressively violent. These I have no problem prosecuting and for them to take the judgement they deserve. However, I’m not talking about those people…I’m talking about children and whole families being blown to bits. I don’t know how to upload pictures on this page but it is on the news and we are being raised to the UN for possible war crimes so you know that by the time things funnel to the UN they are really horrific.
Remember something, Miss:
Israel GAVE the gush Katif to the Palis. It was for peace. Since then, how many Jews dead? How many baby Jews? Did you casually forget the Fogel family?
Israel should have NEVER, I repeat NEVER have given up the Gush Katif.
They are all victims of those who choose to take sides and not look for the common ground. I refuse to be a victim and refuse to take polar sides to contribute to the number of deaths. Those victims are a part of thousands who have been murdered over the dispute over this land and who should have rights over another. I have not forgotten nor do I believe we should hand any land over to any one group. This land is ancient and belongs to the world, so it must be shared and honored as a holy land of Jews, Christians and Muslims. Those who don’t agree with that..well, they are not a Jew, Christian or Muslim or understand the heritage of this land so they are clearly not from it so should not live it in.
We can’t stop it. Hamas can stop it by ceasing its rocket fire and tunnel infiltration of Israel. 350 people in 11 days in a densely populated land is surprisingly low. Israel has done what it can to avoid civilian casualties and Hamas has done what it can to increase them. Israel tells civilians to leave an area that is going to be a combat zone tomorrow, and Hamas tells them to stay put. In war there is always collateral damage. I don’t know of any wars where the superior army told civilians where it was going to attack, so they could leave. Does that make the casualties “acceptable?” I can only answer that question by posing another question: “Is it acceptable for Israel to do nothing, as terror missiles rain down from Gaza?” What is your answer to that?
I will answer you. Israel should recognize the Palestinians as citizens giving them equal rights to Israelis and where they have agreed on Palestinian territory allow those people to function freely like any other citizen moving through one country to another, stop the annexation of land already agreed to as Palestinian or occupied by the Palestinians already. It is all of these kinds of actions that incite resistance and violence. I have seen whole neighborhoods of Palestinians cleared for “Jewish” settlements. I have seen the brutal treatment of both Jews and Palestinians trying to live in peace together by protesting together done by the police and army. I have also seen the suicide bombings that killed Israelis in buses and restaurants. All of these actions are just the moral ammunition plus the bombings, “excuses” for Hamas to justify their actions and Israel to justify their actions to perpetuate an endless cycle of violence between the two. Stop finger pointing and each side must look in the mirror for what they are doing that is causing this conflict and crimes against humanity. Our duty, for humanity for the innocent individuals is to push the side we are closer to, to look in the mirror and stop. No more excuses..no more justification for harming each other.
The ARABS have MORE rights than the Jews in Israel, bolshevik.
Right wing Jews are thrown in prison for speaking out against their govt as Arabs can protest.
You chose an interesting name..it is clear you are not about peace. You talk about Arab rights in Israel…where are you talking about these rights in the West Bank, Jerusalem..Gaza? Do you even live in Israel?
Why didn’t you answer TMJ’s comment?
She spoke the truth.
Why are right wingers silenced?
You don’t care about that because they are nationalistic.
You dont care about rights..you don’t even care about fellow Jews that do not agree with you.
Consummate actress..
I’m sorry I missed her question. Any body whether they are right wing or left wing is a problem for the Israeli government. I saw just 2 weeks ago what you call a “Jewish left wing extremist” being beaten with my own eyes for protesting with the Arabs, then thrown in jail in Jerusalem. They didn’t even care he was a US citizen as well as an Israeli citizen. My cousins lived in Palestine before it was Israel and had many Arab neighbors in which they lived in peace with. They remained friends and their children are friends to this day. Last year, she was helping her Arab friend go to the hospital for cancer treatment and was harassed by Israeli soldiers..they pointed a gun at her..an 80 year old woman! This Arab woman she was helping granddaughter..a Palestinian Muslim girl donated one of her kidneys so that her great grandmother’s Jewish friend’s great grandson could live. I don’t understand how carrying out mitzvahs like these and wanting to live peacefully and fairly with other people is considered extremism. If you think I am an extremist and a cancer then what do consider the people who do not advocate peace and brutally fight each other over to take away the rights and peace from each other? I’m sure it is a very bad word.
If I do care about Jews whose opinion differs than mine. If not, I would waste of breath or time on responding to what I believe is not beneficial to humanity and advocate for what God wants from us in our short lives. We are to be “a light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6) not burn up other nations. I care about all Jews and all humanity. It is our obligation to hold ourselves to a higher standard for humanity. I spent my whole life teaching Jewish children and have 12 adopted children who lost their parents in the wars with the Arabs. So, I am fully aware of what it means to standby and love my fellow Jews. I also know the pain from both sides too well to stand and watch Israel and Palestinians go on like this.
The problem with granting them citizenry is you can’t have citizens who don’t recognize your country and want to destroy it. Israel doesn’t need a Fifth Column of 2 million potential terrorists. In case you think I’m giving Palestinians a bad rap, a recent Pew Opinion Poll disclosed that they favor suicide bombing more than any other Muslim population on earth (beating closest runner up Lebanese Shia by 63% to 39%). Another recent poll showed that two-thirds of Palestinians are against a two-state solution. If they are against a two-state solution, I doubt they will favor a one-state solution. Throw in the fact that the young children are brainwashed to hate Jews, and what have you got? 2003 Baghdad, with car bombs around every corner. Maybe there’s some middle ground, where Palestinians are offered probational citizenship, if they sign a loyalty oath and agree their citizenship can be revoked if, within 10 years, they attempt any terrorism. I’m just brainstorming, mind you. P.S. – If some Palestinians accepted citizenship, would they be branded “collaborators” and murdered by their brethren? Certainly the Palestinian law which requires the death penalty for Palestinians selling land to Jews would have to be abolished!
A two state solution is not an option because well look at the map. Two disparate pieces of land in which you must have a permit to travel back and forth to. Have you been to the borders and see how we manage those and treat those people? A one state solution will be greatly opposed if the government is all Israeli. It has to be a blend of both. So, there are laws in every country that arrest, prosecute and jail or give death penalties to its citizens depending on the crime. I have no doubt there are Palestinians who prefer all of us Jews dead as there are Israelis who feel the same way about Palestinians. As citizens, if either of them act on it, it is punishable by law. The children of both sides are being conditioned to hate each other for one reason or another as a result of all the violent acts. We have to find the humanity in this situation to see absolution and when our children see us do it they will in turn do it no matter what their age.
You are wasting your time.
Apartheid Palis have no Jews in the P.A.
But, there are Muslims and Arabs in the Knesset.
Human rights violators, these Palis
Many perhaps even most civilians in Gaza are not members of Hamas and in fact do not support Hamas or have suffered at their hands, yet these are the people who are dying.
One can decry the destruction on both sides without hating. Remember, though, that Israel already occupies Gaza, that even in peace-time Gazan people are harassed by Israeli soldiers and suffer from Israeli sanctions. They also suffer from Hamas actions. It is not anti-Semitism so much as anti-leaders on both sides I think. And right now the civilians of Gaza live in constant terror.
Actually, H Appel, Hamas was elected to power in 2006 by a clear majority of Gazans, so the majority of Gazans do think like Hamas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, so Gaza is not occupied by Israel at all (when not at war, of course), so the citizens are not normally “harassed by Israeli soldiers.”

They tend to get a lot of pro-Israeli commenters arguing there, so you won’t be alone.
Wow, I just took a look at the main page of this blog. You’re a bunch of raving fanatics. Later.
@godoggo, Since you didn’t request a breakdown, and didn’t say if a breakdown would make a difference in your opinion about the current situation, I think I’ll not waste my time.
Having looked around a bit I’d say the fact that you’re presumably a regular here indicates that you’re a raving lunatic, so that’s fine.
Seeing as this is the first time I’ve visited this blog, your insights are pretty poor. I think we can extrapolate that to your world view, as well, @godoggo.
Not really. I just made a mistake.
But this blog is pretty damn frightening.
I’m far more worried about the people who casually back genocidal terrorist groups over liberal, secular democracies. That’s a mental disconnect I don’t understand at all.
Getting back to Crooked Timber, I guess I should have answered what makes it different from this is that it is NOT a propaganda source, unlike this site. It’s a place where people can discuss things. See the comment at the “Bullshitting” post, and take a look at a few of the posts in the “Israel” search I did.
I personally have decided that I don’t wan’t to spend my life arguing about Israel on the internet. But if it’s something you want to do, that would be a better place to do it than here.
Nah, who wants to argue about things you can’t change? I think Mike pointed out an important event, showing that hundreds of people came out against Israel while many demonstrators chanted slogans and used signage that was clearly anti-semitic and contained verifiable lies. Good on Mike for pointing this out.
Thanks donkeyrock!
Meanwhile, here’s genocidal Jew-hater Jon Stewart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40R3Yb7DTzo
So you DO want to keep arguing about it. Interesting.
Or lay it out here. As you wish.
donkeyrock: I supposed you could tell them in comments there. I’m personally not really keeping up on things.
Yeah ,your right Israeli traitor duel citizens should be not only deported but tried for treason.
As long as those who are involved in these protests understand that God will bless those who bless Israel and those who curse Israel God will curse. http://483years.blogspot.com/

I am from Seattle & I was also Pro-The Underdog for many years while living there…Now I live in Israel & have drastically changed my views of the situation here after living here & living in Peace with both Arabs & Jews – Israel has given the Arabs living here Electricity, Water, Jobs (Income), Health Insurance & many other benefits which they enjoy & many Arabs & Jews live here together in Peace as friends, doing business together, etc. There are just unfortunately those few EXTREMISTS that want to bomb one another that are hurting innocent people & children, who just want to live their lives like the rest of the world. I teach my children not to hit or kick, but to talk nicely. Grow up already extremists adults that can’t talk but can only bomb & hurt innocent people. And for all you peeps holding signs comparing Gaza to Nazi Germany – you just have no clue – you are blind and want to believe something that doesn’t even exist.
The truth is a rare commodity. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
“Now I live in Israel & have drastically changed my views.” Color me skeptical.
@godoggo, all I want to know is what *specifically* you find wrong with Israel. No talking points, no generalizations, give me specifics of what made you dislike that country. Was there an article that crystallized it for you? Certain works by an author? Was it a movie or video, and if so, which one?
See, I don’t understand how people argue about “apartheid” or “genocide” or so many other big concepts that get thrown around. Israeli supporters can throw back counter-arguments about every point made, but if you really wanted to know, you’d look for yourself.
So what I want to know is about you specifically, and only you… why do you fight against Israel?
Many things. Most useful books I’ve read are One Palestine Complete by Tom Segev and Righteous Victims by Benny Morris (written before he started going on about how we had to “clear the hinterlands.” ) Various blogs I read, although I’m a little leery of mentioning them here because I don’t want them to be swamped with Arab-hating trolls. I was raised with a steady stream of pro Zionist propaganda at Hebrew School and summer camp. But I’m not exactly “fighting against Israel.” I simply happened upon this post by clicking a link in memeorandum, and what I came upon was this completely over-the-top crap about an “anti-Semitic hatefest” based on practically nothing, and a comments section with seemingly no-one noticing that there was almost nothing there.
Oops, sorry, “cleanse the hinterlands.” I’m not the best typist.
Thanks for your reply. I think these kinds of clarifications can help people talk with each other about opposing viewpoints. Knowing where you get your viewpoint on Israel and Palestine might allow others to see your point of view as more than just faceless talking points and more about a process of coming to a conclusion.
As a cultural Jew myself, with a similar story to yours about how I was raised, I came to a pro-Israel point of view not from the propaganda, but because I compared the two sides to my own moral compass and found Israel to be worthy of support. I further rejected the Palestinian narrative because of the provable lies I’ve seen them espouse on a near-constant basis. Also, if I supported the Palestinian narrative, it would mean I support the death of possibly millions of Jews based on what the PLO/PA and Hamas have written about where they wish to end up; a theocratic Islamic society that doesn’t accept Jews as equals. I simply can’t support that path in any way.
If you have anything to add, @godoggo, please let me know, and thanks again for your response.
Well, here’s a blog post on the current situation, and I think this one has enough commenters that they probably won’t get swamped. http://crookedtimber.org/2014/07/13/bullshitting-about-gaza/
Looks like the same stuff that’s repeated on thousands of blogs around the globe. Is there a reason this one is special?
Your call. http://crookedtimber.org/?s=israel
It’s popular and I read it regularly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crooked_Timber
Doesn’t seem to be doing well anymore, though: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/crookedtimber.org
And of course in the post “Bullshitting About Gaza” I or any one of these Pro-Israel commenters could take apart what was written point by point, but I doubt it would make a difference in your opinion. Let me know if you want the breakdown of the article or not, and tell me if you think the breakdown would change your mind about the current situation.
I see so much insane Jew hatred on the internet that I was quite prepared to believe you had evidence to support the headline. but the truth is, you don’t. You’re simply asserting that anti-Zionism=antisemitism. This kind of crap just makes it harder to fight against real antisemitism. And, yes I’m Jewish (culturally, that is, although I’ve always been an atheist, even when I had my bar mitzvah).
I will avoid the obvious perverse Jew hatred and Shoah denial that would compare the Jewish State to Nazi Germany. Let us merely review the depiction of a Jew feasting on a gentile child with a cup of blood on the side to wash it all down. The presence of this bigoted display with nary a word of objection or gasp of horror from those present rebuts your assertion and then some. I would question the Jewish bona fides as well as the sense of decency of anyone not reviled by such a horrid display. Thanks for commenting.
Eh, one point for that one sigh, but the rest of this article (including the headline), is completely over-the-top inflammatory BS.
The recent attacks on synagogues in France aptly demonstrate how anti-Israel closely overlaps anti-Semitic. The French hordes weren’t going after the Israeli embassy – they were going after a bunch of praying Jews. When an anti-Israel demonstrator carries a sign saying “Hitler was right,” it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s at the heart of their hatred of Israel. I would add that the Palestinians are not exactly the most cuddly victims in the world – they extol terrorism, repress human rights in the areas they control, intimidate Christians and women. They certainly have some legit grievances, but no more so than a hundred different people around the globe. So I have to question why so many people are obsessed with the plight of the Pals (how’s that for alliteration?)? Some of the people who comment on articles like this seem to make a living attacking Israel. If this was a Sunni-Shiite conflict, instead of Jewish – Muslim, what percentage of these anti-Israel specialists would even care? The answer is suggested by asking what percentage of those people ALSO spend hours a day writing commentary about the Syrian civil war, ISIS tearing up Iraq, Muslims being treated horribly in Myanmar, Coptic Christians seeing 40 churches burned in Egypt, kidnapped girls in Nigeria, Taliban atrocities, etc. ad infinitum. Most of us know what that percentage probably is.
There are anti-semites who are anti-Israel. There are anti-semites who are pro-Israel. There are also good liberals with an interest in a wide variety of interests who are appalled by the Apartheid-like policies of Israel, like me. And there are Palestinians with very legitimate grievances against Israel who may prove to protest. And to reflexively smear the lot of them as anti-Semites is… well, I see it a lot. And I see people on both sides who spend all day arguing about it on the Internet. I don’t want to become one of them. Bye.
Numerous typos. Sorry.
I could find any number of about Arabs by Israelies that are at least as offensive as that one sign, if you like, but the point is that actual human beings are being slaughtered. I imagine if I were Palestinian I’d be a bit ticked about that, aside from my land having been stolen and everything.
The pictures are always of the palestinians even though they’re so ugly.
Not sure what that means.
9092 children killed in syria in 2 years 170000 massacred in the same time frame, christians burned alive and crucified by the Assad regime. ISIS tears up half of Iraq to pieces killing scores of innocent people do we see one protest/demonstration in the western world? Just one? No. Reason – the world is still full of hateful people who are very anti semitic and its very sad to see pure jew haters so rampant amongst us, sad sad bunch of racists.
Well said AK REC, thanks for commenting!

Mike, could you tell me how many protesters were there? I can’t tell how big this rally was.
Certainly a few hundred. Here is a video of the event, you can get an idea from that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPvFr4dxMho
Thanks. Good to know the strength of the community who supports this.
Even though this occurred in an American city, it was not Americans doing the protesting. The slogans and pictures are all from muslim hate mongers. The small m in muslim is intentional. These are small minded, hateful people who put no value on life, yours, mine or even theirs.
I would only hold responsible those folks who were at the rally. Their religious background or legal status is unimportant to me. I only care about behavior, and the behavior of those at this rally was prejudiced and vile.
And here I am a Jewish Zionist who supports food banks in Seattle. Great.
Pingback: Paris Synagogue attacked | Anti Israel | Palestinian Protest
I live in Seattle. I recognize many of my food bank clients in the crowd. I have tried to help them find translators for their children when their sons rob and rape. Many of these people were given US citizenship because they were supposedly fleeing violence. They live in public housing (skipped to the top of the list), speak very little English (because they do not have to learn it), get their food, medicine, and electricity free. Gosh… sounds like the Palestinians… I am tired of making excuses for people. These people are racists. They are advocating the same thing that they claim to be protesting. Too many sheeple that live here believe it because this area loves to support the underdog and the big lies told by the Arabic / Muslim world are very rarely refuted. Every time I try and tell someone local the truth…. I am immediately told that it is racist to question anything an Arab or Muslim says. Infantilization at it’s worst.

It’s funny how the fourth picture down is a quote by Albert Einstein. The deceptive photographer clearly cut out the bottom if the sign which read “-Albert Einstein”. Just goes to show how honest this insignificant, joke of a blog really is.
There is no recorded evidence that Einstein ever said this quotation. Perhaps when making accusations of chicanery you should consider looking in the mirror.
The motivation for this fake quote should be apparent. It would be beneficial to pro-Palestinian activists to show that a paragon of wisdom, and a Jew himself no less, was also pro-Palestinian and/or anti-Israel.
“This fake quotation also compares Zionists to Nazis, which is suspicious because Einstein was a supporter of Labor Zionism.” http://skepticaesoterica.com/debunking-fake-albert-einstein-quotes/
When these type of comments appear, it shows a blog has more effect than an insignificant joke.
At least learn to spell Israel…it is not Isreal.
Deported??! Haha I’m sure your “American values” say deport anyone who says something you don’t agree with. Besides, almost all of these people are just as American as your hateful self, if not more.
Islam is using democracy to enforce it’s sharia law, it might not happen today but it’s happening all over Europe now. It’s not about democratic debate silly, it’s about different way of life – stone age vs western world. Islam don’t accept other religion (as basic law) and don’t respact life and worship death in the name of Allah. Islamic wishs to enforce it’s law on all the ppl in the world. No other religion in the world hold such values. They support terror organization. they don’t call for both side to stop the violence, they are just racist against a country we share the same values of life with.
I would say you are over-generalizing.
Michael; for starters there was a large poster of a Jew eating a gentile child (with a blood chaser) bobbing above the crowd. You may be unaware of historic anti-Semitic themes, but the blood libel is the mother of anti-Semitic tropes. Look it up on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel .
Any person that would see this and not demand it’s immediate removal is in my mind as culpable as the bigot holding the sign.
The Mike Rerpot,
Maybe you should read Ariel Toaff’s “Pasque di Sangue” before claiming that “blood libel is a meme and a trope and never happened”.
Remember, if you disagree with an Israeli historian, you are an anti-semite, so be careful!
For those who say there is no connection between Jew hatred and anti Zionism please read the above comment by a person who claims The blood libel is true. Sick. Makes me ashamed to be of the same species.
Thank you Mike. Great coverage, very good photo captions. Thumbs up to this response. We know that [Islamists] are kidnapping and enslaving African Christians in the Sinai, through which the ransom money funds Hamas. The coffers of Hamas are full of tortured and murdered Christian’s blood.
You must go to a psychologist urgently!
Ariel Toaff would refute the idea that his book could be used to indicate the blood libel was real. He even pulled his book from circulation so that he could edit it to make clear that the reader should not make this inference. You should read his book more carefully.
This has to be the funniest garbage I’ve ever read. While the Palestine movement supports were trying to let there voices be heard from all the killing of innocent children/humans in Palestine the only 3 Jews that were there were hitting and calling the supports all kinds of evil things. How dare you make an article like this. Stop lying to the public. Free Palestine!
Actually, Einstein never said that. Palestinians need to be freed, all right. They need to be freed from Hamas and the corrupt Palestinian Authority. Israeli Arabs may protest and riot, but the majority of them prefer Israeli governance over either of the current alternatives. I don’t blame them!
You are incredibly ignorant and misinformed, Mike. Maybe you should look at history and the recent beginning of the current conflagration. First, guess who came in and just took what they wanted and kept taking what they wanted back in the 1940s. (The Zionists with the backing of the Rothschilds- look into them.) You should also look at the statistics of who is killed in these exchanges. Google “israel palestine infographic.” You will see the numbers of deaths/injuries/tortured/imprisoned. Long story short- guess who has higher numbers of everything?! The “rockets” Hamas has are pitiful and miniscule and rarely if ever do damage. Hamas might be in on it. Maybe they don’t care about the people of Palestine. (Probably not.) But the normal Palestinian people are not to blame. You should look at some international news that shows and tells what happens in the world. Would you like you hipster apartment shelled, Mike?! Your baby daughter bleed out in your arms as you run for help? Aaaaaannnnggggg sorry. Doesn’t happen to the Israelis. And if you want to compare numbers, see the infographics. As for the catalyst for the current Operation “Protective Edge” OMG!!!! Bibi’s justification for it is that there were 3 Israeli teenagers allegedly kidnapped and killed by Hamas. (They had no evidence, mind you. Still none.) And actually some other Palestinians supposedly confessed to it. And then some Israelis took revenge in their own hands on a few other Palestinian kids and killed them- One, they burned alive. Yup. Made him swallow gasoline before they did it so he basically exploded. Ooops. You kind of glazed over that one. But it’s not your fault. You live in America, and the news there doesn’t cover it. All the media is actually owned by Zionist Jews. That’s a fact. You can look that up too. Hmm…what else. Oh yeah. Current assault is not justified. It is a trumped up pretext as our beloved Secretary of State would call it. I agree that some of the posters were perhaps not the best choice. But these people are justified in their protest. There are many really great Jewish people. Unfortunately they are not running the Israeli government. There are bad Jews and there are good Jews, just as their are good Mikes and bad ones. A person is not anti-semitic just for pointing out bad Jew behavior. It’s called having some independent thought.
Have fun at the IDF wine mixer fundraiser! They don’t really need your money though. Nooooo, not because they’re “rich Jews.” You are so anti-semitic for thinking that. They don’t need your money because they get $3 billion per year from the US taxpayers! Awesome huh? They call it “aid.” Funny.
If the Rothschilds bought the lands of Israel, what is wrong about it? ( it was way before 1940) You wish to trade with Israel? you’ll take Hamas and ask them to shoot rockets at your home town and then lets hear you say “of it’s nothing, maybe I will die today, maybe not”.
“And then some Israelis took revenge in their own hands on a few other Palestinian kids and killed them” Few? only one poor teenager, but the HUGE deference is that Israel already capture these brutal murders and they will spend their life in jail. The Palestinians on the other hand will give money and honor to the Palestinians who killed the 3 kids. Clashes of civilization as I have said before.
Now who u support? ppl who honor despicable murders or ppl who puts them behind bars?
You don’t belong to the US, go back to your country and don’t preach us your immoral values.
Yes, there is always justification for Jew hatred by some.
Does not matter that there is NO justification. It is wrong in and of itself. If the same was directed at Muslims, I suppose it would matter.
Or perhaps the conduct of the heroes of these protesters, the courageous gents who hide among their own civilian population and send rockets down on the civilians of others. War crime and war crime.
Zionists would have lived in peace with the Arabs, the latter of which did not own the land either. But you know your history, don’t you? Arabs are just angels, we get it.
Go lecture someone else. Israel’s behavior under the circumstances is exemplary and fully observant with international humanitarian law.
I would just like to reply to the person who said allegedly Hamas kidnapped three teenagers and Israel has no evidence. Hamas officially took responsibility for the kidnapping and promoted the success and celebration of their deaths through a directed and official social media campaign. That was also not the reason Netanyahu officially gave for Operation Protective Edge. Officially the reason was three straight weeks of shelling rockets. It was nearly three weeks until the op started and he stated no other operation to get the shelling to start.
Thanks David for jumping into the conversation and sharing the truth.
that’s not true David. Not even the Israeli government is saying that lie anymore. And its really sad to a reporter misrepresent the truth. Not one person was advocating for anything “evil”. All I saw was large groups of people advocating for peace. Mike, you should be ashamed of yourself. It is interesting to go to a Israeli rally, that was highly homogenous, and hear so many people say such racist things while the event you just wrote about was made of a highly diverse group (including lots of loving and peaceful Jews) advocating for peace – And you labeled them as “haters”. Shame on you Mike for not telling the truth.
Such Ignorance….. but that is our world nowadays…. Perception becomes truth….people don’t research and find out the truth for themselves! Americans are being brainwashed since this POS so called “President” and his vermin administration. He is destroying American’s core values and the Liberal Media is causing more harm to our country than anything else. but…here in Los Angeles today 7/3 there is a great counter protest…THIS IS HAPPENING TODAY IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
SUNDAY 7/13 @ 4PM Corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Veteran in front of the Federal Building. PLEASE, JOIN US! Peaceful rally demonstration in support for Israel and the Israeli Defence Forces. Please share on your FB and with all of your friends…. Please come today for Unity, Support and Prayers for Israel!!
Never again, means NEVER AGAIN!

Marry me Jenny 8) it’s true that most Americans are ignorant but there are a couple of us that actually take initiative to figure out what’s really going on.
Damn. I wish that I had known about this march. There really has to be some kind of count-protest when these things happen.

Israel? Is that even a country? NO IT ISN’T. It doesn’t have a constitution, an official capital, defined borders. They are taking out tax money from us. We can’t provide water for people in Detroit, yet we give $3.1 billion a year to Israel?!?!
