Accusation of Terrorist has Surpassed the Obsolete Accusation of Antisemitic

Mike Johnson  has called Democrats ‘terrorists’ over the dispute on government shutdown. He could have accused them of being antisemitic because there are Jewish Republicans in the Congress, and the shutdown is hurting law-abiding Jewish Americans.

But "antisemitic" has been brandished every which way, including against a Lebanese sheep that strayed across the border from south Lebanon into the Galilee, that it has become stale and obsolete. Anyone who uses the words "Jew", "Israeli" or "Zionist" in a sentence with a whiff of negativity, no matter how justified it might be, is an Antisemite. If a country recalls its ambassador in Israel because of a disagreement over barbaric genocidal policies by Israel, that country is immediately and conclusively labeled "antisemitic". 

I was recently accused of being an antisemite because I refused to watch yet another bullshit American TV story about Anne Frank while tens of thousands of Palestinian Anne Franks were being exterminated by the Zionist terror army. The Dutch Anne Frank spent 2 years in a cozy attic being served food on silver platters and having the luxury to tell her diary about her first periods in such "difficult" circumstances, but thousands of Palestinian Anne Franks have been starved, maimed, and killed, and mistakingly believed their periods were from wounds caused by Israeli bomb shrapnel. Animals, people, countries, buildings, cars, remote controls, stones, waterways.... anything that somehow remotely suggest a split-second negative thought about "Jew", "Israel" or "Zionist" is eligible for the passe-partout label of "antisemite".

Having been used successfully over several decades, mostly in the West (where Antisemitism was born and is still alive), the accusation of antisemitism has sent shivers down the spine of almost every European and American: If tagged with being an antisemite, you are associated with the Nazis, Hitler, and all the losers of World War II. Being an antisemite means that you hate Jews because they are Jews. Even indifference to Jews is "indirect antisemitism", because we all have been brainwashed to worship and love Jews, regardless of their actions, because they were victims of hatred. You cannot not be indifferent. You must blindly love. Which is why Israel is pretty much getting away with large-scale murder of innocent people.

But after Gaza, "Terrorist" has supplanted "Antisemitic". "Terrorist" has so far been used to describe people fighting occuation, brutal regimes, colonialism and state-sponsored violence. Bust as the adage says, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Therefore, feel free to label anyone with whom you disagree a "terrorist".

The scintillating Trump-Butler Speaker from the backward slavery secessionist state of Louisiana, Mike Johnson, has referred to Democrats as ‘Terrorists’ because they want more Americans to have affordable healthcare. To which House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) reacted on Thursday by saying that Johnson is “going to get someone killed” with his violent rhetoric about the current government shutdown.

Elsewhere, as if trained to use the word "terrorist" by Trump himself, Johnson again referred to Democrats as “legislative terrorists” in a CNN interview.

“We’re not going to allow Chuck Schumer to play selfish political games and hold the American people hostage,” he said. “We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists.”

The position of the Democrats is that an extension of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) subsidies should be included in any plan to fund the government, which Johnson and his MAGA criminal gang reject.

With Johnson accusing Democrats of being “terrorists”, he joins the violent verbiage and footage that Trump and MAGA have been flooding America with ever since the Orange Moron joined the political fray, thus encouraging violence. Jeffries responded by rightfully asserting that Johnson is recklessly using inflammatory language at a time of deep political division in the country.

Jeffries said:

That type of language is reckless, it’s irresponsible, and it’s going to get someone killed. What do these folks not understand as it relates to the language that they continue to use? We should be able to battle it out in the contest of ideas as opposed to trying to use these extreme terms that have been unleashed on the American people from the very beginning of this presidency, and, as a matter of fact, for a long period of time, by the current president and those sycophants who continue to do nothing more than rubber stamp his extreme agenda and hurt the American people. These are folks in the house in terms of the Republicans, they’ve been on vacation for the last four weeks. They have actually canceled votes four consecutive weeks in a row. And as Democrats, we’ve been here, leader Schumer, Senate Democrats, House Democrats making clear we are ready, we are willing, we are able to sit down with anyone, any time, any place in order to reopen the government, enact a spending agreement that actually improves the quality of life for the American people, that actually lowers costs for the American people.
