“The Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli and Elan Carr, former United States Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and CEO of the Israeli-American Council, engaged in a discussion on antisemitism with Jerusalem Post editor-in-chief Zvika Klein at the Jerusalem Post Conference on Monday.
Chikli reported on the ministry’s activities since the beginning of the war. “We sent twelve delegations of families of the hostages across the globe, including Australia, Japan, Mexico, to heads of state, to put pressure, and to raise the awareness of the issue of the hostages and what happened on October 7,” he said.
Second, the ministry was responsible for over 100 civil initiatives drawing attention to the hostages’ plight, including bringing the Nova Music Festival Exhibition, “The Moment Music Stood Still,” to New York, attracting close to 100,000 visitors per month since its opening.
Chikli explained that to combat antisemitism, one must first define the term. “We’re not speaking about classical antisemitism,” he said. “We are speaking about mainly anti-Zionist activity.” He added that the only definition of antisemitism that the ministry uses and advocates throughout the world for its acceptance was developed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and is based on the “three Ds” formulated by Natan Sharansky to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism – delegitimization, demonization, and double standards.” [i]
The Diaspora Affairs Ministry announced that it would end all cooperation with the Haaretz newspaper group following allegations voiced this week by the publisher of the Haaretz newspaper and the head of Haaretz Group, Amos Shocken, that Israel enforces an “apartheid regime” over Palestinians.
The Ministry’s Director General, Avi Cohen-Scali, asserted that the ministry, along with the Bedouin Authority under its auspices, “will suspend all existing agreements” with Haaretz and halt any future partnerships with the organization. On Thursday, the Interior Ministry announced it was taking a similar step. Like Goebbels, they see themselves as the protectors of the state.
“I have the natural intention to be and to remain the warm-hearted protector of the German press.” These are the words Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels used when he introduced the so-called Schriftleitergesetz (Editor’s Law) on October 4, 1933 – a law that fundamentally changed the work of journalists in Germany. The Nazis chose the term “Schriftleiter” to refer to journalists because it sounded more German”[ii].
“Zionism is still a justified idea for the Jewish people, but the conduct of successive Israeli governments has distorted its meaning beyond recognition. Israel needs to be put back on the right path, and unfortunately, the main way to do it, I think now, is by international pressure,” Schocken concluded.
Thus, if Haaretz is defined as anti-Semitic, we can conclude that any criticism of the Zionist war crime, according to the ministers of Israel, is anti-Semitic according to the Zionist monster. Needless to say, the growing Anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the eyes of the Zionists are anti-Semites
Let us remember that the Nazis called the Jewish Warsh freedom fighters terrorists.
Down with the Zionist Monster!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
