"Benjamin Netanyahu is an Ashkenazi Jew of Polish descent, originally Mileikowsky. His family adopted the name Netanyahu on their arrival to Mandatory Palestine. It translates as Gift of God or God's Gift or Given by God. The action of a bunch of egotistical maniacs, surely? It appears to run in the family. "Is a bullshit. He's not born in Poland neither have polish heritage. | |||

"He lived in Warsaw but been born in Lithuania. Born in Warsaw (partitioned Poland) according to t'internet. According to the historical research is born in Lithuania. Then moved to warsaw." The OP says of Polish descent, what I posted, if you go back and look, was about the father and I checked it at the Jewish Library. | |||

"I see the Jew haters are strong on here 🙄" If criticising Netanyahu is hating Jews, calling out the Archbishop of Canterbury for enabling child abuse is hating Christians or Saddam Hussein for the Kurdish Genocide is Islamophobia. All of those things are obviously nonsense. | |||

"The name Danielle, primarily a French feminine variation of the Hebrew name Daniel, means "God is my judge". It is derived from the Hebrew words "dani" (judge) and "el" (God). The name carries a sense of divine authority and righteousness, stemming from its association with the biblical prophet Daniel. Self righteous much? | |||

"I see the Jew haters are strong on here 🙄" Don't be such an idiot. People just dislike expansionist warmongers who persecute their neighbours, who happen to have more of a right to that land than they do! Suppose in the mid 1930s you'd call us all German haters? | |||

"I see the Jew haters are strong on here 🙄" Where ? I see a lot of Israeli haters ( and justifiably so) but not Jewish haters. You are stoking a fire that isn't there shame on you 🥱🥱. | |||

"Did you bother to research the reason that his father ended up in Lithuania? " No… because that would spoil the effect of casting him as some itinerant parasite which was what our favourite Jew-baiting OP was attempting. Another day, another thread. | |||

"Did you bother to research the reason that his father ended up in Lithuania? " Benjamin Netanyahu, son of Benzion Netanyahu (nee Mileikowsky) who was born in Warsaw in 1910, grandson of Nathan Mileikowsky who was born in Belarus in 1879. I fail to see your point. As for the any accusation of itinerant parasitism or Jew baiting, can i please see some evidence? | |||

"I see the Jew haters are strong on here 🙄" There is nothing wrong with hating someone who is ultimately responsible for the death of many thousands of people - be that Netanyahu, Putin, Yahya. They are hated for the death and suffering they have caused - nothing to do with any religion. | |||

"“Benjamin Netanyahu has done this xxxxx - I totally disagree with xxxxxx - the evils of this regime xxxxxx - total disregard for human life in Gaza xxxxxx - Zionism causing so much suffering xxxxx… etc etc etc” These things are what any normal person who wants to vent about the conflict in and about Palestine can and does write if that is their opinion. Completely without anti-Semitism. It’s attacking Netanyahu and his fellow-travellers for their actions and attitudes. It’s targeting them because you think they are evil. It’s not trying to target them because they are Jews and you think Jews generally are evil - because you want to associate all Jewish people with Netanyahu’s hard-line Zionism. But you’ve never written anything in the Forum like that. Just as the nasty thread you started off about the Gentiles - full of completely fake info about the origins and use of the word - which you used to traduce all Jewish people as someone viewing you as inferior and how offensive you found Jews etc etc, here again we have you deliberately widening and conflating your contempt for Netanyahu into a wider contempt for Jews and Judaism. How is the fact Netanyahu is of Ashkenazi descent relevant as a rational critique of him and his actions? How is the fact that (like nearly every displaced Jewish family from Europe) he adopted a Hebraic style name celebrating his religion relevant as a rational critique of him and his actions? “The action of a bunch of egotistical maniacs, surely? It appears to run in the family.” We know what you think of Jews. So you tar everyone with the same brush. They’re all egotistical maniacs with their funny religious names and words like Gentiles etc etc. This is where your anti-Semitism seeps out. There’s a little posse of users who are always quick to back you bashing away at the Jews because they are in the bash the evils of Netanyahu and Israel camp. What I can’t work out is if they can’t see you have a clear agenda, or if being in the same camp of anti-Israel over this conflict is more important than the trifling issue of anti-Semitism. " Hogwash. How does criticising the actions and attitudes of a few individuals who happen to be Jews equate to criticising Judaism in it's entirity? So i think Netanyahu is an egotistical maniac, that does not fit the definition of anti-Semitism, which i think you know, yet in your self-righteous indignation you're still keen to jump on the bandwagon. I am not baiting Jews, i am baiting Zionists and it clearly appears to be working.  | |||

I am not the one that views this conflict in black and white. I have offered plenty of science based evidence to support my opinions but, please, do feel free to do your own research. | |||

"I see the Jew haters are strong on here 🙄 Not sure that is fair. What Israel, under Netanyahu has done is abominable but not all Jews support the war" Absolutely and exactly my stance. I've witnessed plenty of videos of Hasidic Jews in Israel being terrorised and beaten by the IDF and Israeli police for daring to speak out against the regime. | |||

"The inference about 'bashing away at Jews' was laughable. The religion of Netanyahu and his goons doesn't matter a jot to me. It's the way they treat their fellow human beings that is the issue." It's a relief to see that there are some on here that know the difference. | |||

"Chomsky is of similar descent to the monster as my memory recalls lol. What a great thinker Noam has consistently been. Pappe and the legend that is Howard Jacobson as well also have played a part in my life. Walter Benjamin a hero of mine. What an inspirational man and so tragic that he took his own life rather than let the Nazis capture him. There is no doubting the intellectual brilliance of so many Jewish thinkers and writers. It is perfectly possible to engage with them and still be critical of what Israel has done over the years and in response to the callousness of 10/7. " You might also want to check out Simha Flapan's 'The Birth of Israel: Myths and Realities' published on his death in 1987. An insight into the truth about it's founding. There has been a long history of Jewish intellectuals who have dared to speak out against Zionism, they number among some of the people i respect the most. | |||
