There it is folks.

Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch

declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

      Exactly. Zionists believe they’re entitled to Israel just like Nazis believe “Aryans” were entitled to the Rhineland.

      Supporting either should be grounds for imprisonment.

      As a Jew with Zionist family in Israel and in the States, related to Holocaust survivors and victims, and student of other Holocaust survivors, I can confirm that you’re correct.

      During the early days of the Palestinian genocide, I overheard the following conversation between two old men at my mom’s synagogue:

      M1: They say that Israeli forces are using Nazi tactics in Palestine. Do you think that’s true? What do you think about that?
      M2: It’s been a very long time since the Holocaust and there has been a lot of healing. I think it’s time to admit that Hitler may have had some good ideas.
      M1: Hmmm… I wouldn’t go that far, but maybe it’s okay to learn a thing or two from the Nazis… From your enemies.

      These men also cry that we’re victims of the most violence and that our tactics are just to prevent another Holocaust. But I thought “tHeRe has beEn a LoT oF heALiNG.”

        Fuck that. Hitler was not “onto” anything. Neither are the current Zionists “onto” anything.

        All this fascism and racism needs to get exterminated.

      You basically lose any moral high ground by calling anyone Hitler/Nazi.

      Such a shit comparison. If Nazis were as benign as Zionists there wouldn’t have been a world war 2. No one would have given a fuck.

      If you want to criticize effectively, be more precise.

        Okay: precisely, Zionist dogma is equivalent to Nazi dogma where Zionist Jews are the privileged in-group. And what the Israeli entity is doing to Palestinians is equivalent in intent and practice to what the Nazis did to Jews.

        If I made any other comparison, I would be losing precision, because the comparison is so precise!

        How naive do you have to be to think openly killing people under the sun is the only kind of war there is?

        I accept that a Jew who wishes for a nation-state for Jews, based on civic nationalism, inclusive for people of different religions and ethnicities, and showing the due respect for the natives and their property and land rights, isn’t far right.

        But for the most part, Israelis are far-right now.

          How can it be “for Jews” but also be inclusive of non-Jews? That’s the whole problem.

          Unless you mean for Jews in that it’s for everyone who wants to live there and participate in such a society. But that’s not what they typically mean when they say “for Jews”.

            Wait would that mean everyone can be Jews? Is the criteria for this cutting off the skin on the tip of my dick? Kinda like a pledge?

              lol I meant like for Jews only insofar as it’s for everyone, and it’s for Jews because they are a subset of everyone. But that’s a stretch so I see why you were confused.

            Jews collectively decide to go to the same region, and in doing so give it a significant Jewish cultural character.

              And I don’t have any problem with that. The issue is when they decide to enhance that distinctly Jewish character by expelling or killing everyone who is different from them. That’s called fascism.

        Not literally nazis in the “claim the ww2 german nazi party as indicative of their personal identity” sense, but in the way that “Nazi” gets used in modern english as a synonym for “fascist”. And arguably that user has a point; trying to build a state based on a favored identity at the expense of another group who lives on that land, re-framing marginalization and conflict with that group as self defense, is one of the hallmarks of fascism. If it were just “national liberation”, then who would they be seeking liberation from? Israel isnt under foreign occupation or some kind of vassalage, the closest thing to that you could even argue for is that they have some dependence on the US for military support, and beyond that relationship not being at the level of the US controlling Israel, the US isnt who zionists are usually fighting against anyway. If this were still the era of the roman empire or something, that kind of line might make some sense, but under the current state of affairs, it does not.

        Look up the Lehi terrorist organization, which was folded into the IDF. They literally tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis, but you know, Nazis.

        Anyway, their philosophical wing adopted, and started pushing, Nazi race science with the races switched around. This is where the major push of people claiming “god’s chosen people” to justify their evil comes from.

        Also, the second leader of Lehi was eventually elected to Prime Minister, and was even more of an evil bastard by that point. He also was Netanyahu’s political mentor.

          Self proclaimed “God’s chosen people.” Has a ring to it. Kinda like the reason Lucifer fell from heaven.
