At the United Nations, several countries, many among them being Muslim ones at no suprise, are indulging in an incessant Israel-bashing that is just a front for a clear and non-equivocal racism. Because folks, don’t be fooled: Israel-bashing is the new form of anti-semitism. You won’t see the old version of it anymore or very rarely, the one that we saw in the Middle Ages or during WWII. No. It has evolved like everything else evolves, and now it veils itself behind the scarf of « criticism » of Israel. The people who criticize Israel are not anti-semites, no. But they just can’t stand those f——– goddamned Israelis… In effect, you have to realize that since the end of WWII, everybody has become better at propaganda.
