Henry Herskovitz's Report on Beth Israel vigil 12-23-23

 

Hostility increases but our support remains constant

Retired Ann Arbor Doctor Dave Chernin has taken to counter-protesting our weekly vigils, and exposes his Jewish supremacism by the threatening words and gestures he uses. On December 9, three men emerged from the synagogue to harass us. After a few minutes of heated exchange, Dave – the one holding the flag and now bolstered by these racists – joins in and threatens us. One of the three has been identified as Richard Cascarelli, a Partner Associate at Tim Singer South Florida - Coldwell Banker in Fort Lauderdale. Watch the six-minute video here.

The defeated Jewish attorney Marc Susselman lowers himself by bringing a couple thugs from West Bloomfield, Michigan, to taunt us throughout our entire vigil on November 18. We submitted the video to the Ann Arbor Police Department for their opinion as to whether a threat was made. Please make up your own mind as you view this video here.

On December 23, a potty-mouthed woman approaches us and threatens to take one of our signs which she found upsetting (Gas Chambers? Really?!!). When we inform her that we will call the cops and put her on film stealing our property, she experiences a change of mind. And goes curiously silent when her world-view gets challenged. Watch this video here.

Challenging Ann Arbor City Council

On December 18, we asked Council members to imagine the world reaction to any other ethnic group – other than the Jews – who could get away with a 75-year-old ethnic cleansing operation. At this particular meeting almost all the 58 speakers asked Council to pass a resolution calling for a cease fire in Gaza. Fast forward to 4:10 to watch our presentation from this video, and view text of the presentation following signature

Beware the Controlled Opposition

Many Jews spoke at this Council meeting, some declaring themselves “a proud Jew”, some identified as members of Jewish Voice for Peace.
Regular readers of these reports know that we recognize the efforts of JVP as those of a controlled opposition.  The racism that motivates the Jewish state is born and nurtured in the Jewish community. For activist Jews to be effective in liberating Palestine, they need to confront the racism that exists in their own home communities.

But they never do. Instead, they wear keffiyehs, control Palestinian activists (think: Rashida Tlaib) and assuage their own guilt by palling around with the oppressed. Please read “The Role of Jews in the Palestine Solidarity Movement” for expanding this argument.

Not only do these closet Zionists (we define “Zionist” as anyone who does NOT call for an end to the Israeli state) control the opposition, but watch here as they flee before we rise and challenge their Jewish supremacism.

Which member of JVP is willing to carry our sign? After 100 Jewish Israeli doctors signed a document that supported the IDF strategy of bombing hospitals, we couldn’t resist:

Topic: Holocaust Education in AAPS

Good evening,

20 years ago my friend Paul Eisen made the following observation. It’s as true today as it was then:

The crime against the Palestinian people is being committed by a Jewish state with Jewish soldiers using weapons displaying Jewish religious symbols, and with the full support and complicity of the overwhelming mass of organized Jews worldwide. But to name Jews as responsible for this crime seems impossible to do.

Israel itself claims, in its 2018 Nation-State Law:

The LAND OF ISRAEL is the historical homeland of the JEWISH people, in which the STATE OF ISRAEL was established.

The racism in this statement is made clear by the changing a few words:

AMERICA is the historical homeland of the WHITE people, in which the UNITED STATES was established.

Who here would be happy with that definition of OUR country? I wouldn’t

Imagine any other ethnic group committing this ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people

Imagine if American Blacks, unhappy with Jim Crow in 1948, decided to ethnically cleanse Palestine to create a Black nation

The world wouldn’t tolerate it for a minute

The world does tolerate this ongoing genocide because it’s being committed by Jews

And the world – believing the Holocaust Narrative as presented by Hollywood – turns its eyes away from the Palestinian victims in their struggle for liberation, because their perpetrators are Jews. And Jews are the ultimate victims.

But are they? Holocaust revisionists believe a full vetting of the events of World War Two will strip Jews of this ultimate victim status. The truth must be known, because Palestinians today are paying the penalty for the world’s ignorance.

Thank you
