Thanks Chas – great video. Wonder if I can get my family to watch it before we site down for our 1st Seder night?
O/t but have you seen the disgusting BDS tweets. I am feeling physically sick reading some of this filth. We must fight back or the Jewish people will be be destroyed as the propaganda becomes the ‘truth’ in the minds of the ignorant
No one can defeat the truth with lies. If we focus on getting closer to the truth, these liars cannot touch us.
@ Jaykay..when it comes to Israel propaganda already has become the ‘truth’ in the minds of many
Horribly accurate
Indeed and now that other Jew hater Gallloway has won a seat in Parliament, I fear it will only get worse.
he forgot the chinese and others around that area
Speaking of being inspired, Chas, I came across these posts about Israel by Trinny and Susannah, UK fashion experts extraordinaire:

I was quite startled to see them there but found it really interesting.
cheers
Nice video.
Hey Chaz it feels as if you do not update your blog so often anymore.
What gives?
The video describes the Jewish ‘holocaust’ as “exponentially the largest slaughter of any people in human history.” Let’s look at that:
(figures are estimates of course)
Mao Ze Dong’s “Great Leap Forward” – 49,000,000 – 78,000,000 people killed.
Joseph Stalin – 23,000,000 (the purges plus Ukraine’s famine)
Congo (1886-1908) – 7,000,000 killed.
Non-Jews killed in the Holocaust (Roma people, Soviet POW’s, Homosexuals, Disabled etc): an estimated 5.9 million.
Number of Jews killed in the Holocaust: an estimated 5.9 million.
The video describes Israel as a beacon of universalism – “Jews from Ethiopia, Africa, Asia, North America …” yet neglects the fact that universalism refers to diversity of religion moreso than country of origin.
I think you perhaps misunderstand the word ‘exponentially’
Actually I thank you for bringing that up, as the word was used completely outside its proper context. Exponential is a word used to describe growth, not to compare abstract figures.
Could you explain to me how I misunderstood the statement? From here it seems it’s not I who is misunderstood.
Millions of Jews died yet you are more interested in a pedantic point on use of language.
Again, nobody will think you are an idiot.
It’s tragic that millions of Jews that died in the holocaust. What’s even more tragic is approximately twenty times that number of Chinese were killed at the hands of Mao.
Propagating this false idea that the Jewish holocaust is the “largest slaughter” … where does that leave the victims of Mao and Stalin, if not erased from the chronicles of history?
They deserve just as much recognition for their suffering as the victims of the Jewish holocaust.
Thomas, I dont think anyone wants to diminish any other tragedy and you are right regarding the total number of people murdered in China, Congo and Russia being higher. you can also add Cambodia, Sudan and Armenia as genocide locations as well as many other countries which suffered huge numbers of deaths through fighting such as Algiers, Sri Lanka, Iraq and unfortunately many more…
Where I believe the difference lies is in the manor and reasoning behind these terrible acts. While Mao, Stalin and others were ruthless mass murderers and their victims innocent, they perpetuated these crimes not against a particular group and not in a way that was so systematic and researched (ex. the lengths the Nazis went to in order to prove Jewish blood, researching the fastest and cheapest method to gas people etc).
Their main reasoning (as untrue and unjust as it might be) was regime survival, political doctrine etc and not hatred of a specific ethnicity or religion (Stalin murdered Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Catholics, Orthodox, Jewish etc.).
Again, we shouldnt get into a competition of whose genocide is the worst but should agree that it shouldnt happen ever again to any people.
Never again. That is why the US-led NATO genocide of Islamic nations must be stopped, and also the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.
Inspired by colorization, ethnic cleansing and violating international law, not to mention racism and apartheid. I know the 1980s are back in fashion, but 1980s South Africa style is not.
A pro-Israel video that has a US accent and plays on biblical promises won’t win over anyone in Europe. Also, other ancient Semitic peoples still exist in the region but they are ignored.
Mandeans come from the Babylonians, Nestorians come from the Assyrians, Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Melkite Catholics, Maronite Catholics and Antiochian Greek Orthodox all come from Arameans.
…Chaldean Catholics are also Assyrian.
