The hateful commentary towards Jews and Israel under Jane Eisner’s essay in CiF (Don’t be fooled by the applause, Binyamin Netanyahu), which, by the way, was highly critical of the Israeli PM, is a sight to be seen. We’re all too familiar with the fact that any CiF piece about Israel elicits a large degree of malice towards the Jewish community, but the level of vitriol following this piece (which now has over 400 comments) is especially egregious.
Here’s a sample:
Israel has compiled a “mound of [Palestinian] corpses” in the last several decades a hundred times worse than the damage done by terrorism: (628 Recommends)
American Jews who passionately support Israel are guilty of treason. (326 Recommends)
Israel will only make peace when they’re utterly defeated, as with Japan in 1945. Also, a furtive argument towards the end that Jews control Washington. (256 Recommends)
American Jews who support Israel are disloyal citizens. Israel is the tail that wags the “American dog”. Israel and her supporters will end up destroying America. (110 Recommends)
Congress are a bunch of sycophants who grovel at Israel’s feet. (63 Recommends)
Even liberal American Jews become “far right extremists”, who would even undermine their own President, when it comes to Israel.
This comment was deleted but is worth noting in its creative contempt. So much anti-Semitism packed in such a tiny rhetorical package.
