In addition to all the harmful and negative things Judaism has brought to the world - there is also no year-end rally on the Israeli stock exchange. The next time I ask to leave Judaism - I hope that Deri or whoever replaces him at the Interior Ministry (inshallah) will accept my request.
Translated from HebrewA BDS initiative that will probably make Zionist Israelis happy too - for a change!
Translated from HebrewRemember Lord—the Zionist Arab girl? (the girls’ Yosef Haddad") If you were wondering where she is today—I found her! You won’t believe where!!
Translated from HebrewRemember Lorde, the 18-year-old Zionist Arab woman who was dubbed (affectionately?) "Yosef Haddad as a girl" after she said on a television broadcast to Ayman Odeh that he and the Arab parties do not represent her? Surely you wondered where she ended up... I have the answer—and it’s surprising! If Eli Goldschmidt made a comeback, she has a chance too!
Translated from HebrewEli Goldschmidt may indeed be somewhat gray in terms of image, but politically he is a true pioneer. He was not only the first to move from the left to the right in order to get a reserved spot, but also among the first to move from the chair of the Knesset Finance Committee to the position of vice president for regulation and lobbyist for the Ofer brothers more than twenty years ago. Who had heard of a golden parachute back then?
Translated from HebrewI experienced trauma in Haifa!
Translated from HebrewOf all the opportunists who moved from left to right to get a job, Netanyahu chooses to reserve a spot specifically for a wreck like Eli Goldschmidt, who even at his peak had the vision of a teacher on sabbatical and the charisma of an entertainment evening at a Histadrut nursing home. Strange!
Translated from HebrewThe idea that Arabs will vote for Yosef Haddad is as logical as animals licking the slaughterer at the slaughterhouse.
Translated from HebrewI spent a sweaty evening in Tel Aviv with Hadar Muchtar and Netanyahu fans - but without Mordechai David. Check out a video!
Translated from HebrewMore on the elections in Saxony Anhalt. The far right (AfD) won because unemployed losers voted for it in the hope that it would lift them out of poverty. East Germany was always Germany’s backyard. This did not begin during the communist period but much earlier — read Max Weber. Economically, it is doubtful that West Germany had any interest in “German reunification” — they found themselves subsidizing a country that had always been poorer than they were, and only became even poorer. There is nothing there except an industry from another era, outdated agriculture, and of course Berlin and Dresden, which were and remain the exceptions. The West Germans wanted to annex Berlin and Dresden as well, but Berlin and Dresden — which do not represent East Germany — come as part of a package deal with Saxony and Pomerania. Territorial lust caused West Germany to swallow an expensive and unpalatable East German fish. It somewhat reminds me of the Israelis who want the Western Wall, and along the way subsidize unnecessary settlements in godforsaken holes in Samaria.
Translated from HebrewWhat happened in Saxoby Anhalt? The Israeli media interpret AfD's victory in the local elections as the response of the German masses to immigration, and hint that if the Germans had done to immigrants what we did to the Palestinians in Gaza, none of this would have happened. Reality is entirely different. Saxony Anhalt is not a state that attracts immigrants. The share of immigrants there (8%) is not much more than a third of the share of immigrants in large cities like Berlin. Anyone walking around there — and I did, because I had a partner whose family lived there — sees mainly elderly people, unemployed people, drunks, and empty apartments. The share of alcohol addicts there is among the highest in Germany — 40% higher than in Bavaria despite the Bavarians' fondness for beer! Saxony Anhalt is the oldest state in Germany. There is no high-tech sector — those who work are employed in old-line industry, especially chemicals. How unsurprising that it is also the state with the lowest life expectancy for men in all of Germany. So who voted for AfD? Losers. People who failed to find work in Berlin or Munich and stayed home. It is convenient and easy for them to latch onto the slogans of a fascist party that blames immigrants for their failure instead of admitting the truth: they are simply less capable — like an Israeli who lives in a development town, works on an assembly line, blames the Palestinians and Arabs for not making it into high tech or studying medicine, and votes for Ben Gvir. At least Germans do not rush to ask a priest for a blessing, unlike Ben Gvir's voters, who also take the baba's travel blessing with them on the road. In Germany's richer states there are many more immigrants and nevertheless far fewer AfD voters, just as in Tel Aviv there are far fewer Ben Gvir voters despite seeing many more Sudanese and Eritreans working in restaurants in Tel Aviv than in the Krayot.
Translated from HebrewThe similarity between the elections in Israel and Germany is amazing. The AfD, which is a kind of Ben Gvir meets Feiglin, is very close to achieving an absolute majority in Saxony-Anhalt, which is the German equivalent of Ashkelon and Kiryat Malakhi. Everything depends on whether BSW, which is the German version of Hendel-Zelekha, a kind of populism that mainly charms college graduates (because university graduates understand that you cannot have both subsidies and a free market), is very close to the electoral threshold. If they fall below it, the AfD has a majority and forms a one-party government, meaning a comeback for the neo-Nazis. If they pass the electoral threshold, all the parties together will probably form a broad coalition to block the neo-Nazis. That is the difference between Israel and Germany: in Israel they do not boycott Ben Gvir and Feiglin but arrange them in the bloc.
Translated from HebrewYoseph Haddad does not bring in Arab voters. For those who do not understand why—I suggest they ask themselves how many German Jews voted for Hitler back then. Granted, not all Palestinians are geniuses, but only a few will voluntarily choose a party whose aim is to expel their people from their land. By the way—as the Israeli right has Yoseph Haddad, Hitler had Max Naumann—a German nationalist (but Jewish) activist who headed a ridiculous organization called Verband nationaldeutscher Juden that openly supported the Nazis until Hitler eliminated it in 1935. Leibowitz was not talking about them, of course, but they really were Judonazis.
Translated from HebrewNot an easy evening in Haifa: I went to an (apparently) Arab restaurant in the port called Rasif 33 to film a restaurant review video with an anti-Zionist touch. They told the girl filming with me that she was welcome to film alone, but they don't want to be associated with my views. At most, I can eat at my own expense. Yosef Haddadism is taking over the sector!
Translated from HebrewI admit that there are also small moments of charm in the fascist Zionist right, which do not exist on the left. On the other hand, the left commits somewhat fewer war crimes.
Translated from HebrewWhat do you think of Giv'atayim's architectural charm?
Translated from HebrewYair Lapid was on television for so many years, and he still refuses to understand that his series is over. Is it really so hard to grasp? If Savri Maranan went off the air, why should he stay?
Translated from HebrewBecause I am appearing tonight, I will have to miss the campaign launch conference of Sharan Haskel's party. Is someone willing to film or record it for me?
Translated from HebrewCan I get an update on Eli Goldschmidt’s party? I’m curious to know who he is joining forces with!
Translated from HebrewWho doesn't know the sensational mentor and businessman Matan Nistor! As you may recall, he recently left Israel with a bang and opened "The Portal"—a website that lets anyone open a successful business, even if they don't have the slightest idea about business! In the video, we'll get to know less familiar sides of his life and his opinions on various and complex topics. For example: 1. How much of a tip does he leave when he orders a cup of coffee? 2. Does he prefer cash or a credit card? 3. What does he think about Zionism and wars? 4. What is his opinion of school? 4. And above all—where does he recommend not investing the money (real estate and stocks), and where is it worth investing (in a private business one opens after studying at "The Portal"). Enjoy watching!
Translated from Hebrew"Encouraging emigration" is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the 1930s. It did not entirely succeed, and then they moved on to the "Final Solution." Of course, I have no idea what Winter-Feiglin-Ben Gvir-Smotrich intend to do to the Palestinians if encouraging emigration does not succeed, but from my familiarity with the people involved, it will not succeed. What is also clear is that their proposals cross the line between war crimes and crimes against humanity, because they are planning to expel a large civilian population when there is no war.
Translated from Hebrew"Encouraging emigration" is a crime against humanity. Otzma Yehudit too, certainly Feiglin, as well as Winter and to a large extent also Smotrich, are proposing fascist solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This brings us to approximately 15 seats for the Judeo-Nazi bloc. 12% of voters, somewhat more when speaking only about Jews, vote for parties whose platform is crimes against humanity. Not that Likud and other Zionist parties are free of fascist elements, but for them war crimes happen along the way and not as the goal. In any case - the State of Israel belongs entirely to the fascist bloc.
Translated from HebrewThe connection between a (ret.) police commander and the Islamic Movement makes about as much sense as a hot romance between me and a Haredi single mother of seven brats - but that is not the purpose of the casting. The purpose is to legitimize a government with Ra’am. It will be very difficult to disqualify Segalovitz as a minister on the basis of Zionism or loyalty to the state. This is how the path is paved for the first Jewish-Arab government.
Translated from HebrewHow to deal with antisemitism abroad? Probably quite a few Israeli war criminals feel uncomfortable when they travel abroad for an "all-inclusive" vacation and discover that it also includes firm opposition to their war crimes. I can tell you what I do—and it always works. When people ask me: "Where are you from?" I answer: "Israel, but I am anti-Zionist and oppose all of Netanyahu's wars. Furthermore, I would be happy to help in catching war criminals and bringing them to trial in your country". To my credit, it should be said that I am telling the truth, but it seems to me that even if you cut corners, it will be hard to catch you. Good luck!
Translated from HebrewCongratulations to the Mizrahi economist, (former) Likud primary candidate, Shlomo Maoz, on his promotion to “professor” on Channel 15, which boycotts me. Congratulations, Shlomo!
