The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate on the unhinged Yom Kippur sermon by Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch slamming young American Jews for opposing Israel's wars on Gaza and Lebanon, and protesting the country's system of apartheid.

Rejecting zionism and condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic.

kudos to all the jews whove turned their backs on zionism

"Most Zionists don't believe that God exists, but they do believe that he promised them Palestine." - Ilan Pappé

"When we told you to pursue justice, we did NOT intend you to see our crimes and hold us accountable. When we told you to pursue righteousness, we did NOT intend you to stand against our wickedness."

Two of the 10 commandments state: “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house”. And “Thou shalt not murder”. How can you call yourself a rabbi and support zionism knowing that it breaks both these commandments extensively.

"We didn't expect you to hold us to the principles we taught you!"

For the life of me I can't understand why a "man of God" would close his eyes to the horrors committed by Israel in the name of Zionism. It is beyond me.

I’m so sorry Rabbi - It’s unfortunate that learning about the Nazis ethno-nationalist ideology, and their tactics of fear mongering, vilifying & dehumanising Jews in order to justify and perpetrate a genocide; has affected my ability to support the state of Israel starving, slaughtering, occupying, displacing and trying to ethnically cleanse another group of people 🤷🏽‍♀️

He's glad that kids today learned sound moral principles, but upset that they didn't learn hypocrisy to go along with it.

You raised your children to be good people and when they become better people than you, you criticize them. Staggering!

[goldencalf]

Give me an ultra orthodox rabbi over a liberal rabbi any day of the week. At least they faithfully practice their religion and recognise Zionism for the idolatry it is.

*Never again" applies to all creeds and people because it is a universal call to prevent the horrors of violence, hatred, and injustice from repeating anywhere, to anyone. It reminds us that the dignity and rights of every human being must be protected, regardless of race, religion, or background. It stands as a commitment to learn from history and ensure that such atrocities never happen again to any group.*

[lasttarrasque]

Dude was like: when we taught you Tikun Olam we didn't expect you to apply it to Palestinians

[odayalame]

Im a lebanese muslim, im so happy to see people waking up. If judaism is the truth as they preach. Why is it for just a group of people!? We are all humans, and i dont understand how anyone can defend a religion that is exclusive? The truth exists for everyone. You just have to search for it? Doesn’t the sun shine for the good and the bad? But good people thank God that He gave them one more day to live. While bad people just feel that they deserve it. This war is between the collective and the ego. Simple, anything thats for the benefit of a person of a group that thinks he is special is from the demon. And anything that is really beneficial for all mankind and other creatures we share ou existence with is from God. Peace

A victory over Zionism is a victory for humanity

[chesterproudfoot]

I absolutely love it that two of t he most respected independent journalists happen to be jewish so that the zionist state can't use the antisemitic card against their reporting (though I'm sur ethey try). Max and Aaron are two of the BEST journalists we have today, and are a source of PRIDE. Keep fighting the good fight!

[justlooking]

No one is born hateful, someone like this guy teaches them, any kind of hate.

[haraldisdead]

He literally said "when we taught you social justice, we didn't intend for you to apply it to Israel!"

[saml]

Ammiel Hirsh is indistinguishable from Ben Shapiro. 🤮

[ImageNation]

The Jewish people of the world that is standing against Zionism.. I salute your courage!
