(The UN does not, in fact, have a 'right to defend itself', nor to slaughter Jews in brutal pogroms, nor to teach generations of children that the greatest thing they can do with their lives is detonate a suicide vest in a crowd of Jewish civilians using the money of the international community)

despite islamic terrorism literally, by definition, being right wing.

It's neither right-wing nor left-wing. This sort of claim always strikes me as fairly cheap politics by people on the left. 'When people do bad things it's right-wing, when they do good things it's left-wing.' etc

Let me give you the full sentence:

"Never again will the Jewish people put their safety and security in the hands of non-Jews."

Non-Jews were given a test with the Holocaust and we comprehensively failed.

From now on, the Jewish people will only ever trust themselves to protect them. Rightly so, in my view.

And yes, I do deny there's a genocide in Gaza. If they wanted to just eradicate them then this war would have been over many months ago.

If I believed that Israel was a genocidal "regime" (by which you mean democratic government) I wouldn't be defending it.

You don't know many Jewish people and the others have chosen not to interact with you.

My guess is that you said and did nothing for your Jewish neighbours and classmates and colleagues and friends on October 8th. I'm guessing you also said nothing when crowds gathered outside Sydney Opera House to chant "gas the Jews".

Jews have an intuitive sense of who would help them if the Holocaust happened again. People who didn't speak out in those days? They went on the "don't rely on them to hide us in their basement" list.

I assume you're going to go through the next few years very confused why Jews are scared of you.

Uhuh

What do you even mean by "support Israel"?

There are almost no Jews anywhere in the world who would oppose the existence of the State of Israel. As I just pointed out, an overwhelming majority of British and American Jews see Israel as a central part of their Jewish identity, have visited, have relatives there, and feel an emotional connection to it.

Naturei Karta are a tiny fringe minority. If you're thinking they represent some sort of larger phenomenon you're living in a bubble.
