It's the Anti-Semitism, Stupid?
Trauma Symptoms Associated with Race Essentialist Beliefs are Dogging American Politics - "I'm being Persecuted Solely because of my Race, not Israel's Jewish Essentialist Policies!"
Exactly. For trump supporters that think the war in Iran is necessary (it wasn't), criticizing Netanyahu is "anti-semitism". Even though that means many Jews living in Israel are (under this definition) anti-semitic. Similar to how Americans that disagree with the trump administration are anti-American. Because not being anti-semitic means you have to support everything Netanyahu does. And not being Anti-American means you have to support everything Turd-2 does🙄
Gavin Newsom Wants Everyone to Know He Was in Michigan Yes, he was in Michigan, Not in California. Michigan,is not the state Gavin Newsom d= govern, has never governed, and will not govern unless something dramatic happens in the next two years and he decides Michigan is where he wants to be Governor too. He opened with a number. Almost $175,000 raised for the Michigan Democratic Party from nearly 6,000 donations, averaging under $30 apiece. It is also, coincidentally, the kind of number a national campaign operation likes to have on hand when it needs a receipt showing it cares about states other than the one it was elected to run.
It seems that Jewish People are now fleeing Canada to go to ISRAEL and that Canada has now become as antisemtic as the UK,and France . Whey you may ask? I really cant answer that , but it salso seems that Canada is being flooded with the same amout of Anti-semitic Muslims as the United States is! And Antisemitism among some Muslims seems to be generic with these people. But the reality is that Jews are being badly assaulted all over UK and FRANCE and even killed. I never would have NEVER guessed that Canada and the United Dtates are gettingt hat bad!! I grew up in a very Jewish/Christian city New York as a kid when I lived in the more central location of Brooklyn, When I was a little bit older and moved into a tougher part of town and even when I didn't know it or have many of either Jews or Christians in my school, the spirit of Good people Like the Man Once said, “Can’t We All Just Get Along
I don't know about you, , and frankly I don’t really care but I know that the last thing I want to see at an airport are Muslim men and women washing their feet in public restroom sinks! It’s disgusting, and Gross. Muslim groups are pushing for this to make it acceptable behavior. What has happened to this Country?
True practicing Jews, not the butchering genocidal Zionists) that actually practice their faith are not moving from Canada or anywhere else in the world to become a part of the Netanyahu butchering genocidal machine that id destroying th Jewish faith and creating great hate towards the presnt day Zionist state of Israel . So, once again ole jersey ass kissing joe is simply spewing his legendary ignorance. Or, is it just stupidity?
Bruce Blakemen Said” When I become governor, I'm not going to let him destroy the fabric of New York City. I'm not going to let him destroy the economy of New York City and I'm not going to let him make New York unsafe. Those are all things he's doing right now, and I will stop him."
Correct. Your rants do continue. As for "Democratic Party holocaust deniers", why don't you tell me who these people are? This is definitely not an official position of the Democratic Party. The Holocaust absolutely happened. There is a lot of anti-semitism in the world today. Maybe your comment is projection and it's you who believes those things?
I don't know what Mayim Bialik's personal experiences are. It seems she won't say either. At least not in this video. But it seems she thinks her personal experiences align with everyone else's personal experiences. aka her truth is THE truth. I support Israel and think the United States should continue to support Israel. Just not the Netanyahu government. Or any rightwing government that would continue the genocide in Gaza. But until Israel gets rid of it's rightwing government, I think the United States should definitely stop giving them money to kill innocent Gazans. Though, right now our government is also killing innocent people. Even US citizens. So we need a new government. I guess that makes me both anti-semitic and anti-american. I don't know as far as Mayim Bialik is concerned, because I really don't know what her deal is. If she wants to leave the Democratic party like James Carville, she is free to do so.
Minus: Hassan Piker, al-Sayed, Mamdani, need I continue? The Squad. All anti-semites.
You could continue with some more fake examples, I don't care. But I asked for real examples of Democrats who have denied the Holocaust. Obviously you can't give any. None of the people you've name so far have denied that that Holocaust occurred.
Sorry, anti Zionism is not anti Semitism. I'll believe the Rabbis who have stated this. Also the ones who state Israel has no right to exist as a state.
The ONLY ONE doing the ASS KISSING, IS YOU LES CARPENTER, And the Ass's that you are Constantly Kissing is Dave's s and Shaw's. . Deny it if you wish But it's very Obvious to us all.
Holocaust trivialization is recognized as a form of Holocaust denial, specifically classified under the broader umbrella of "Holocaust distortion." Leading international bodies—including the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and the U.S. Department of State—categorize trivialization as "soft-core denial" because it downplays, minimizes, or misrepresents the historical reality of the genocide without necessarily claiming it never happened at all.
How Trivialization Relates to Denial
Experts distinguish between two main types of denial:
Hard-core Denial: Directly claiming the Holocaust is a hoax, asserting gas chambers never existed, or alleging the facts were entirely fabricated.
Soft-core Denial (Distortion/Trivialization): Acknowledging the event occurred but minimizing its scale, impact, or uniqueness through inappropriate comparisons or downplaying numbers.
Common Manifestations of Trivialization
According to educators and civil rights groups like the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), trivialization manifests in several ways:
Inappropriate Political Analogies: Comparing contemporary political figures, policies, or public health mandates (such as vaccine protocols or lockdowns) to Nazi Germany or Auschwitz.
Equating Unrelated Issues: Applying specific Holocaust terminology to unrelated social or environmental issues (e.g., calling modern agricultural practices an "animal Holocaust") to exploit the emotional weight of the tragedy.
Gross Minimization: Suggesting that the reported number of six million Jewish victims is heavily exaggerated.
Pop Culture Banalization: Using the atrocities as punchlines, casual metaphors, or fashion statements, which strips the genocide of its historical gravity
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Holocaust trivialization is defined as the act of making light of the Holocaust or comparing it to inappropriate Nazi and/or Hitler analogies.
The ADL views trivialization not as a separate phenomenon from prejudice, but as a dangerous form of Holocaust distortion and antisemitic discourse. It occurs when the unique, industrial-scale genocide of six million Jews is weaponized or equated to everyday political and social issues.
The ADL identifies several specific behaviors that constitute Holocaust trivialization
1. Inappropriate Historical Analogies
The Definition: Using terminology, names, or events specifically tied to the Nazi regime to attack modern political opponents.
ADL’s Stance: The ADL states that these comparisons are "facile" and "cheapen the memory of millions killed by the Nazis". It diminishes society's ability to address actual, contemporary issues on their own merits.
Examples: Comparing modern political strategies to Joseph Goebbels' propaganda, or equating contemporary government officials to Adolf Hitler.
2. Misappropriation of Holocaust Imagery and Symbols
The Definition: Exploiting sacred or historical symbols of Holocaust suffering to protest modern-day government policies or regulations.
ADL's Stance: The ADL strongly condemns the use of these symbols outside their historical context, labeling it deeply offensive and historically inaccurate.
Examples: Public figures or protestors wearing yellow Star of David badges to protest public health mandates or vaccine requirements.
3. Holocaust Inversion and Equating Modern Conflicts
The Definition: Framing contemporary geopolitical conflicts, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, by directly comparing Israeli actions to the behavior of Nazi Germany
ADL's Stance: The ADL considers the direct comparison between modern democratic states and the systematic, state-sponsored annihilation of European Jewry to be a malicious minimization of Nazi crimes.
4. Off-Hand Humor and Pop Culture References
The Definition: Using the horrors of the concentration camps, gas chambers, or Nazi figures as punchlines or casual references in entertainment and media.
ADL's Stance: The ADL warns that "making inappropriate and highly offensive jokes... serves to minimize the evil and inhumanity of Nazi crimes" while denigrating the suffering of survivors.
Sarah Unsicker: A former Missouri state representative who was stripped of her committee assignments and voted out of the House Democratic caucus in late 2023 after posting photos on social media with an individual cited by the Anti-Defamation League as a Holocaust denier. Unsicker denied sharing those views herself, but faced immediate ouster by her party colleagues.
Cynthia McKinney: A former Democratic U.S. Representative from Georgia who later left the Democratic Party to run with the Green Party. Years after leaving office, McKinney drew heavy criticism from civil rights and watchdogs like the Southern Poverty Law Center for engaging with and promoting individuals and material associated with antisemitic and fringe conspiracy theories, though she did not serve as a mainstream Democratic voice while doing so.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN): In 2011, during a House floor debate over healthcare reform, Cohen compared Republican messaging strategies to Nazi propaganda. He stated that the opposition's rhetoric was "a big lie just like Goebbels," adding, "The Germans said enough about the Jews and the people believed it and you had the Holocaust." He later walked back the statement after heavy criticism.
Dick Harpootlian (Former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman): During the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Harpootlian mocked Republican Governor Nikki Haley by stating she was hosting press briefings "down in the bunker a la Eva Braun." The ADL publicly decried the remarks, stating the analogy "only serves to trivialize the Holocaust."
State Democratic Chairs (California and Kansas): Alongside the Harpootlian incident in 2012, the ADL singled out the Democratic party chairs of California and Kansas for publicly comparing conservative political strategies to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI): In a 2019 podcast interview, Tlaib drew intense media scrutiny when discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She noted there was a "calming feeling" in knowing her Palestinian ancestors provided a safe haven for Jews fleeing the Holocaust. Critics accused her of historical revisionism and insensitivity regarding the timeline and dynamics of the Holocaust. Mainstream Democratic leaders defended Tlaib, stating her words were being deliberately twisted and taken out of context by political opponents.
John Burton (California Democratic Party Chairman): The ADL singled out Burton for a public interview where he compared conservative political messaging and structural strategies to the propaganda methods of Joseph Goebbels.
Joan Wagnon (Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman): Alongside Burton, the ADL called out Wagnon for similarly invoking Goebbels to attack her partisan opponents.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): In 2019, ADL leadership criticized Ocasio-Cortez after she referred to U.S. migrant detention centers at the southern border as "concentration camps". The ADL urged elected officials to avoid using Holocaust-associated terminology to describe contemporary immigration policy.
Many international bodies and governments use frameworks like the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition, which lists denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination as an example of antisemitism.
United States law does not formally codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition as a criminal statute, but federal and state governments actively enforce it as an official administrative tool. By its own text, the IHRA framework is a "non-legally binding working definition". Rather than banning specific speech, U.S. policy utilizes it to evaluate intent behind discriminatory acts.
Federal Executive Branch
Executive Order 13899: Issued in 2019, this directive mandates that federal agencies—including the Department of Education—consider the IHRA definition and its contemporary examples when enforcing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This applies to investigations of alleged discrimination on college campuses receiving federal funds.
State Department: The U.S. State Department has formally utilized the IHRA definition since the Obama administration to track and evaluate global antisemitism.
National Strategy: The Biden administration explicitly reaffirmed the IHRA definition as a cornerstone of its National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.
Federal Legislative Progress
The Antisemitism Awareness Act: This bipartisan bill aims to explicitly write the IHRA definition into statutory law for federal civil rights enforcement. While versions of the bill passed the House with strong majorities, it has faced ongoing debates regarding its statutory permanent implementation.
State and Local Laws
Widespread Adoption: At least 35 U.S. states have formally adopted or endorsed the IHRA definition via legislation or gubernatorial executive orders.
State-Level Enforcement: States like Florida, Iowa, and Kansas have codified the definition into law to guide state agencies, monitor university curricula, and address discrimination in educational environments.
Legal and Constitutional Challenges
First Amendment Concerns: Free speech organizations, including the ACLU, argue that treating the definition's examples as legal benchmarks infringes upon protected political speech, particularly regarding criticism of the government of Israel.
Court Injunctions: Federal courts have intervened in specific applications. For instance, a U.S. District Court in Texas ruled that applying the IHRA definition to mandate campus free-speech policies likely constituted unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.
You pleading illiteracy, Derv? You gonna argue against the "experts"?
Experts distinguish between two main types of denial:
Hard-core Denial: Directly claiming the Holocaust is a hoax, asserting gas chambers never existed, or alleging the facts were entirely fabricated.
Soft-core Denial (Distortion/Trivialization): Acknowledging the event occurred but minimizing its scale, impact, or uniqueness through inappropriate comparisons or downplaying numbers.
Proof? You're not practicing the required affirmative semitism required of DNCe turds. You're practicing the anti-semitism of the DSA turds. Both are anti-white Neoracist parties, though. Unlike the former, the latter merely lumps Jews in with whites.
No, you've already plead illiteracy. By redefining Holocaust denial to include people who aren't denying it.
Nobody you named has ever downplayed numbers and the term "inappropriate comparisons" is subjective.
Meanwhile, there are examples on the Right that aren't "soft-core denial", but actual denial.
(Dec. 2, 2025 / JNS) Some 17% of GOP supporters are “anti-Jewish Republicans” with beliefs including Holocaust denial or the view that Israel is a “settler-colonial state” that drags the United States “into wars we have no business in,” according to a poll which the conservative Manhattan Institute released on Monday.
The survey defined current GOP supporters as either registered Republicans or voters who backed U.S. President Donald Trump in 2024, regardless of formal party affiliation.
It found that 37% of these Republicans believe the Holocaust “was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe,” with 77% of Hispanic GOP voters, 66% of black GOP voters and 54% of male GOP voters under 50-years-old holding that view.
Source: JNS/Jerusalem News Syndicate... an American non-profit news agency and wire service that covers Israel, the Middle East, and Jewish-related topics.
Minus: And Israeli's were and still are being killed by Gazans, with the help of Iran since long before the Oct 7 attack on Israel.
They aren't. The killers are members of Hamas. Most citizens of Gaza aren't members of Hamas. Obviously you strongly believe that 2 wrongs do make a right. Hamas kills innocent Israelis, so the israeli military is justified in killing innocent Gazans. Tit-for-tat, right? Except most people don't agree with that logic.
International law rejects that logic.
Gemini...
International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
International law explicitly rejects the concept of reciprocal law-breaking or collective punishment.
No Reciprocity in War Crimes: The Geneva Conventions state that violations of the laws of war by one side do not justify violations by the other. War crimes committed by a non-state actor (like Hamas) do not legally authorize a state military to bypass civilian protections.
Distinction and Proportionality: The core pillars of IHL are distinction (combatants must always be distinguished from civilians) and proportionality (military actions must not cause civilian harm that is excessive in relation to the concrete military advantage anticipated).
Killing civilians as a form of retaliation violates both.Collective Punishment: Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly prohibits collective punishment. Targeting or disregarding the safety of an entire population for the actions of a specific militant group is a violation of international law.🛑
Minus: you take orders from the anti-white Neoracists in the Democratic Party & DSA.
False. There aren't any Neoracists in the Democratic Party & DSA for me to take orders from. And I'm not a member of the DSA. I take zero orders from the DSA.
Semantics is the literal, dictionary meaning of words and sentences. Pragmatics is the hidden meaning of words based on the situation and speaker. Semantics ignores context, while pragmatics depends on it.
Key Differences
Definition: Semantics looks at pure grammar and vocabulary. Pragmatics looks at user intent and social clues.
Context: Semantics is context-free. Pragmatics is context-dependent.
Focus: Semantics asks "What does this word mean?" Pragmatics asks "What do you mean by this word?"
The "hidden meaning" selected (aletheia) always reflects a Foucaultian power differential favouring the perceived less powerful individual or group.
btw, you asked for proof of something in a prior comment. I didn't know what you wanted proof of, so I ignored that comment. Did you mean proof that Gazans are dying due to the actions of the Israeli military? Watch the news, there is plenty of proof there. You think bombs are dropping, buildings are being leveled, but everyone is fine?
You denounce the ADLs definitions to exonerate Dems, then invoke them to condemn Republicans? If not for double standards, you'd have no standards at all...
You're the one who consistently criticized the ADL, not me. And I didn't denounce anything. I only pointed out that not everyone agrees.
FYI, the article I referred to has nothing to do with definitions. It concerns people on the right outright denying the Holocaust occurred. Or claiming it wasn't as bad as the historical record says.
I have backups in case g00gle locks my blog due to your false reporting, a-hole. But my blog is currently online. You're warning me it's about to get locked again? I am sure you file multiple false reports daily. I am not "hiding" anything, a-hole.
Why the fVck would I change the URL of my blog to call myself a "stinky butt troll"? You're the one trolling, dipsh!t. That's a URL you came up with, Mystere.

Soft-core Denial (Distortion/Trivialization): Acknowledging the event occurred but minimizing its scale, impact, or uniqueness through inappropriate comparisons or downplaying numbers.
And Israeli's were and still are being killed by Gazans, with the help of Iran since long before the Oct 7 attack on Israel.
And you take orders from the anti-white Neoracists in the Democratic Party & DSA.
Proof? You're not practicing the required affirmative semitism required of DNCe turds. You're practicing the anti-semitism of the DSA turds. Both are anti-white Neoracist parties, though. Unlike the former, the latter merely lumps Jews in with whites.
No, you've already plead illiteracy. By redefining Holocaust denial to include people who aren't denying it.
Nobody you named has ever downplayed numbers and the term "inappropriate comparisons" is subjective.
Meanwhile, there are examples on the Right that aren't "soft-core denial", but actual denial.
(Dec. 2, 2025 / JNS) Some 17% of GOP supporters are “anti-Jewish Republicans” with beliefs including Holocaust denial or the view that Israel is a “settler-colonial state” that drags the United States “into wars we have no business in,” according to a poll which the conservative Manhattan Institute released on Monday.
The survey defined current GOP supporters as either registered Republicans or voters who backed U.S. President Donald Trump in 2024, regardless of formal party affiliation.
It found that 37% of these Republicans believe the Holocaust “was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe,” with 77% of Hispanic GOP voters, 66% of black GOP voters and 54% of male GOP voters under 50-years-old holding that view.

Minus: And Israeli's were and still are being killed by Gazans, with the help of Iran since long before the Oct 7 attack on Israel.
They aren't. The killers are members of Hamas. Most citizens of Gaza aren't members of Hamas. Obviously you strongly believe that 2 wrongs do make a right. Hamas kills innocent Israelis, so the israeli military is justified in killing innocent Gazans. Tit-for-tat, right? Except most people don't agree with that logic.
International law rejects that logic.
Gemini...
International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
International law explicitly rejects the concept of reciprocal law-breaking or collective punishment.
No Reciprocity in War Crimes: The Geneva Conventions state that violations of the laws of war by one side do not justify violations by the other. War crimes committed by a non-state actor (like Hamas) do not legally authorize a state military to bypass civilian protections.
Distinction and Proportionality: The core pillars of IHL are distinction (combatants must always be distinguished from civilians) and proportionality (military actions must not cause civilian harm that is excessive in relation to the concrete military advantage anticipated).
Killing civilians as a form of retaliation violates both.Collective Punishment: Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly prohibits collective punishment. Targeting or disregarding the safety of an entire population for the actions of a specific militant group is a violation of international law.🛑
Minus: you take orders from the anti-white Neoracists in the Democratic Party & DSA.
False. There aren't any Neoracists in the Democratic Party & DSA for me to take orders from. And I'm not a member of the DSA. I take zero orders from the DSA.
Anti-racists, much like anti-semites, are never semantically honest. Their scorn is pragmatic (contextually dependent).
Semantics is the literal, dictionary meaning of words and sentences. Pragmatics is the hidden meaning of words based on the situation and speaker. Semantics ignores context, while pragmatics depends on it.
Key Differences
Definition: Semantics looks at pure grammar and vocabulary. Pragmatics looks at user intent and social clues.
Context: Semantics is context-free. Pragmatics is context-dependent.
Focus: Semantics asks "What does this word mean?" Pragmatics asks "What do you mean by this word?"
The "hidden meaning" selected (aletheia) always reflects a Foucaultian power differential favouring the perceived less powerful individual or group.
🐂💩
Your simply projecting your own ass kissing of your MAGA Fuhrer trump and his filthy lyong MAGA scam.
So, jersey joe whittle "man", blow out your a**.
btw, you asked for proof of something in a prior comment. I didn't know what you wanted proof of, so I ignored that comment. Did you mean proof that Gazans are dying due to the actions of the Israeli military? Watch the news, there is plenty of proof there. You think bombs are dropping, buildings are being leveled, but everyone is fine?
It's too bad that El-Sayed didn't finish her off. He would be a big hero to worship if he did.
Tell me you didn't say that, Leslie Elden Carpenter III.
Hey DerFuher, what happened to your Whoz Your Mama blog? The links on your other clown blogs indicate it's M-I-A.

Looks like it took a blog dump, DerFuher.

hiding your hate, DerFuher?
You denounce the ADLs definitions to exonerate Dems, then invoke them to condemn Republicans? If not for double standards, you'd have no standards at all...
You're the one who consistently criticized the ADL, not me. And I didn't denounce anything. I only pointed out that not everyone agrees.
FYI, the article I referred to has nothing to do with definitions. It concerns people on the right outright denying the Holocaust occurred. Or claiming it wasn't as bad as the historical record says.
I have backups in case g00gle locks my blog due to your false reporting, a-hole. But my blog is currently online. You're warning me it's about to get locked again? I am sure you file multiple false reports daily. I am not "hiding" anything, a-hole.
What happened to your blog, DerFuher?

Did you write something naughty and get your monkey spanked, DerFuher?

Is this some kind of joke, DerFuher? Did you change the URL of Whoz Your Mama to this?
Why the fVck would I change the URL of my blog to call myself a "stinky butt troll"? You're the one trolling, dipsh!t. That's a URL you came up with, Mystere.
Oh, you mean holocaust trivialization... @@
