Just a thought &#8230;\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Yet the Israeli diplomats in Ireland must surely\u00a0know very well that, according to the Christian Gospels, it was actually the Sanhedrin who\u00a0pushed for\u00a0the crucifixion of Jesus: though the Gospels plainly depict the Roman Pontius Pilate as the author of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it clearly suggests in the following verses\u00a0that Pilate was subject to the incitement of the \u2018Jewish\u2019 Sanhedrin &#8212; <em>12: And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto Him Whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13: And they cried out again, Crucify Him. 14: Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath He done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify Him (Mark 15:12-14<\/em>).<\/h5>\n<h5>But I guess that the Israeli diplomats in Ireland\u00a0must have realised that their Hasbara attempt was counterproductive and would likely backfire, for they\u00a0were very quick to remove the above FB post and apologise.<\/h5>\n<h5>And yet, one possible explanation for their regretful Facebook post is projection. Psychological projection is commonly defined as a tendency to subconsciously deny one\u2019s own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to other people.<\/h5>\n<h5>Tragically enough, excommunication (<em>Herem<\/em>) and lynching are embedded in every form of Jewish political and cultural thinking, be it Left, Right or Centre. Every too often we detect a Zionist or Jewish \u2018progressive\u2019 campaign against those whom \u2018some Jews\u2019 regard as the \u2018enemy of the tribe\u2019.<\/h5>\n<h5>Sadly enough, the inclination towards lynching &#8216;a la Sanhedrin&#8217; is deeply rooted in Jewish political thought:\u00a0sometimes it is performed by Zionist lobbies such as AIPAC. In the last week, for instance, we followed the American Jewish Lobby\u2019s push for the political annihilation of Chuck Hagel. On other occasions, the exact same exercise is performed by the so-called \u2018progressive Jews\u2019 such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gilad.co.uk\/writings\/watch-human-rights-watch-a-tribute-to-prof-richard-falk.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">HRW<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2012\/10\/free-gaza-movement-twitter-controversy-leads-jewish-voice-for-peace-to-distance-itself-from-group.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">JVP<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/paltagefreiburg2011.blogspot.co.uk\/2011\/09\/video-gilad-atzmon-open-society-and-its.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">IJAN<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2012\/10\/if-only-it-was-just-one-tweet-one-activists-experience-in-the-our-land-facebook-group.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Mondoweiss<\/span><\/a> who also follow the Sanhedrin\u2019s <em>modus operandi<\/em>, trying to destroy their critics by means of political lynching or by proxy.<\/h5>\n<h5>And just like the Zionists, the so-called \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists will use every trick in the &#8216;tribal manual&#8217; &#8211; they would call for excommunication (herem);\u00a0they would demand disavowal, and like the Sanhedrin, they would search for their contemporaneous Pontius Pilate, who is stupid enough to agree to go down in history as their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deliberation.info\/ali-abunimah-and-gilad-atzmon-at-the-ok-corral\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Sabbath Goy<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n<h5>However, I do believe that both Zionists and \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists\u00a0should start\u00a0to consider very seriously what they are doing:\u00a0they\u00a0should\u00a0grasp that as time goes by, their opponents will gather a deeper understanding of Jewish culture and power.<\/h5>\n<h5>I myself take some credit\u00a0for this: my latest book helped many to understand the continuum between Jewishness, Zionism and power. I also managed to dismantle the imaginary distinction between the \u2018Zionist\u2019 and the so-called \u2018anti\u2019 Zionist, and\u00a0I guess that by now we are capable\u00a0of detecting the\u00a0controlled opposition within our ranks.<\/h5>\n<h5>Interestingly enough, it took the Israeli Embassy in Ireland just a few hours to realise that they\u00a0had\u00a0gone\u00a0one step too far. Seemingly, The Israeli foreign office was very quick to issue an apology. But our Jewish \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists are yet to apologise to Greta Berlin, Prof\u2019 Finkelstein, <a href=\"http:\/\/azvsas.blogspot.co.uk\/2011\/12\/richard-falk-expends-on-his.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Prof\u2019 Richard Falk<\/span><\/a> myself and many others for their relentless harassment campaigns against us.<\/h5>\n<h5>The explanation for it all\u00a0may be rather\u00a0simple &#8211; in terms of awareness, ideology and consciousness, the Israelis are probably slightly ahead of their \u2018anti\u2019 Zionist twins: at least\u00a0the Israeli diplomats were quick to realise that they were caught projecting their symptoms onto the Palestinian peoples. The Jewish \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists though,\u00a0are failing on that front because they are still saturated with their own sense of &#8216;progressive righteousness\u2019.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8216;Progressiveness&#8217; is a tribal inclinations and should be realised as a secular replacement for \u00a0&#8216;chosen-ness&#8217;. Being &#8216;progressive&#8217; implies that someone else must be \u2018reactionary\u2019.\u00a0 Jewish &#8216;progressiveness&#8217; \u00a0should be grasped, therefore\u2019 as a &#8216;kosher secular supremacy&#8217;. It stands in total opposition to the idea of equality, human brotherhood and universalism. The so-called Jewish &#8216;progressive anti Zionist&#8217; is subject to a self-imposed blindness and I\u00a0believe that he or she have a lot to reflect upon in those regards. Yet, \u00a0by judging their general reaction to criticism, I am not so sure that this is ever going to happen.<\/h5>\n<h5>The Wandering Who?
