Open Season on Jewish Billionaires; And Viewing the IDF as "War Criminals."

 Phyllis Chesler Organization  

"In my opinion, the ghastly sight of Jewish blood on 10/7 simply opened the floodgates to all those who lust for more of same. That's why I urged people not to show Hamas's footage." 

He is only survivor: two babies killed by Hamas' bare hands

"Oh, this is too tricky to write about. Here I am, opposed to Jews criticizing other Jews, at least at this time, and yet, there is something very pathological about the lengths to which some Jews will go to defame and destroy other Jews.

"Criticizing Jewish Israel for one policy or another is fine; accusing Israel of committing genocide is crazy. Accusing Jews, who are allegedly "settlers" in their own homeland, for committing violence against armed-to-the-teeth Jihadists is also crazy.

"But here's what's on my mind right now. I was visiting a friend in East Hampton over Shabbos/the July 4th weekend and honestly believed that the most dramatic event was the thunder, lightning, and drenching rain that caused power outages, destroyed trees, stranded drivers, flooded roads, and gravely disappointed some of the most ardent firework fans, who had traveled all the way out to Montauk to see the sky light up.

"Silly me.

"As we sat there in the dark, our flashlights safely at our sides, I did not know that pro-Palestine activists had invaded and demonstrated against two restaurants, one in Sag Harbor, the other in Montauk.

"Why pick these two restaurants? I am not naming them, but they are both owned by a Jewish billionaire. Not just a billionaire but also a courageous philanthropist who funds those who are fighting against antisemitic anti-Zionism. Three for the price of one—an admirably self-made man, a true American success story, a supporter of both Judaism and Israel.

"I am not naming him either. Perhaps these protestors/demonstrators/invaders are not Jewish, not at all.

"I did not know this, but similar demonstrations had been held in Sag Harbor two weeks ago, in June of 2026, and in Southampton at Cooper's Beach. The situation in Gaza was linked to broader anti-war (which war?), labor, and anti-billionaire movements. ("No Kings, No Billionaires.")

"Between 2024 and 2026, these local and perhaps national groups gathered every week at Steinbeck Park.

"I am relieved. Not all of them claimed Jewish ancestry.

"However, last year in June, protestors demonstrated on Meadow Lane in Easthampton against the super-rich. They were powered by anti-Trump, No-Kings, pro-immigrant, anti-ICE, and pro-Palestine beliefs. One speaker claimed that the land belonged to her and to her people—the Shinnecock—not to the billionaires who currently own and have stolen it. Wealthy Jews, as well as non-Jews, happen to live on Meadow Lane." . . . More...
