"Every Time Someone Says That the Jews are Horrible, are Criminals and Thieves, One Thousand American Jews Applaud"

Who's a bigger threat to Israel--a nuclear Ayatollah, or "Haaretz" Jews?

Don't answer that until you read the following, an excerpt from gonzo journalist Tuvia Tenenboim's latest book, The Lies They Tell, which details some of his adventures in America. In this snippet, Tuvia, a non-"progressive" Jew, stumbles into something dark and ugly--an event co-sponsored by Israel's house organ for the usefully (and malevolently) idiotic:

I’m in New York, I am invited to countless parties and events, but say no to all – except one. US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power is to speak at the Roosevelt Hotel as part of a conference organized by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and an American Jewish organization, New Israel Fund (NIF), both avowed progressive liberal institutions. 

I enjoyed listening to Samantha months ago in New York, at Abe Foxman’s tribute at the Waldorf-Astoria, and I’d like to hear her again. I go to the conference. I’m not alone. About one thousand people, almost all of them liberal American Jews, are in attendance. 

Speaking to governors at the White House on Monday, US President Donald Trump announced a sharp increase in the military... 

I’m a little early for Samantha’s speech and so I stand outside and smoke. Near me is a top NIF official and we talk a bit. She tells me that about 70 percent of American Jews hold the same views as NIF, and she also tells me that there are fifty speakers at this conference, forty-nine of whom are liberals and one of whom is conservative. 

What happened to the liberals? They are progressing, it seems, to the Stone Age. Be that as it may, it does arouse my attention and I go up to hear some of the forty-niners. 

What a show! Here I hear a lady, by the name of Suhad Babaa, who talks of  “Palestinian  boys  killed  in  broad  daylight by Israeli soldiers” as an example of the brutal and lawless Jews. The audience, liberal American Jews, applaud. Don’t ask me to explain. 

Amira Hass, a Haaretz columnist, tells these American Jews: “Anybody who intends to emigrate to Israel is about to commit a crime.” The Jewish state, if you didn’t know, is a criminal state. 

The Jews applaud. 

Bridget Todd, a black lady who is associated with Black Lives Matter, shares the stage with Amira. What is she doing here? I can’t tell, but it’s definitely an effective visual tool to illustrate to Americans what the Jews are doing worldwide: murdering non-whites. 

What else do I see here? Roger Waters is sitting in the front row of the main hall, being glorified by a Haaretz fellow who tells him how pleased he is to see such an important man at this conference. Roger, co-founder of the old favorite English rock band Pink Floyd, is still in the music business. But besides music, he has some other things on his mind, such as comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and engaging in endless activism against Israel. 

The Jews here love him for that. And they applaud at the mere mention of his name. 

This conference is called HaaretzQ, where the “Q” stands for question, but nobody is questioning anything. Everybody here has the answers, all the answers. And they talk.  

The forty-niners say, for example, that Jewish Voice for Peace, whose activists I met while in DC and by whom I was told that I’m a fat, filthy Jew, is an exemplary organization. 

All in all, it is bizarre to watch...

Israel sucks because of its wicked, murderous ways?

Not so bizarre, really. Just a typical news day at the New York Times (rimshot!).

Oh, and that "Q" in question?

It stands for quislings.
