Nykyajan inkvisitio: Cancel Culture

Juutalaisjärjestöt ja yksityiset Twitter-käyttäjät kohdistivat hyökkäyksen kirjakauppoja kohtaan, jossa vaaditaan poistamaan myynnistä 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' -kirjat.

'Elders Of Zion' book being sold by top booksellers

The antisemitic text The Protocols Of The Meetings Of The Learned Elders Of Zion is being sold on popular book sellers' websites, Jewish social media users were outraged to learn on Tuesday.

Top online booksellers such as Walmart, Book Depository, Thrift Books, Hudson Books, and Barnes & Noble are each selling dozens of versions of The Protocols of the Elders Of Zion. Of note, these retailers are also selling a version published by Book Tree in 1999 that is causing outrage on social media.

The overview on Barnes & Noble's version of Book Tree's Protocols argues that if "The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. "

The overview argues multiple times that the document may in fact genuine, as it contends that "we have not seen a clear and convincing version of it produced by those making the claim."

"Others maintain that it was and is absolutely genuine -- proven by the fact that all copies were destroyed in Russia in the early 1900s by the Kerensky regime. In the following years, anyone caught with a copy could be, and sometimes were, shot on sight,"  says the product description. "The Protocols were taken seriously by the Russians and by people in America like the famed industrialist, Henry Ford. This seems to give it validity, but people (and nations) have been known to be fooled."

"Why is Barnes & Noble selling a forgery responsible for so much Jewish suffering, as if it's a legitimate book?" Tweeted Melissa Braunstein. "If they want to sell it for courses on the evils of antisemitism, it should be summarized differently and  include an introduction that's clear this document is a forgery, and responsible for untold Jewish suffering."
...

Blackwell's, a UK bookshop, is also selling several dozen versions of the book, including the Book Tree version.

"This is what Blackwell's is pushing with the Protocols of there [sic] Elders of Zion," tweeted writer Tanya Gold, who encouraged others to read a synopsis of a version published in 2014 by On Demand Publishing.

"That there is an ancient and enduring rancor for the Gentile by certain Jews there is no doubt," reads the synopsis. "Similarly, that certain Jews have always and still do work to establish Jewish hegemony over the world is not doubted by informed researchers. But what is usually not understood is that Organised Jewry — the leadership of this Jewish ambition — has been in the thrall of a small cabal of men who have for many generations used the race of Jews for a far more sinister aim than merely the establishment of a One World Government under Jewry."

According to Twitter user Matthew John Patrick, Blackwell's copy of the Book Tree version of The Protocols originally had the same overview as Barnes & Noble, but the retailer changed the synopsis after Patrick called attention to the item.

"They consider the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - the most famous antisemitic conspiracy theory - might be genuine," Patrick wrote on Monday. "I'm Jewish. We have no plot to run the world, banks or media. Please sort."

Barnes & Noble removes 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' from its site

Following a social media outcry, Barnes & Noble has removed "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" from its website.

Twitter users began tweeting Jan. 25 about an online listing on the booksellers' site, which had been offering the famously fabricated antisemitic text for $24.95. The retailer said in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the book was fed automatically to the website from "standard industry databases" and that the company took "prompt action to remove" the title.

Twitter users also objected to the description of the book on the site, which summarized at length the book's fictional description of Jewish plan for global domination and suggested that its authenticity is still an open question. The description justified its sale as "an interesting book which deserves to be studied in the same way the 'War of the Worlds' radio broadcast duped many thousands.... We neither support nor deny its message, we simply make it available for those who wish a copy."

FBI aiheutti vastaavanlaisen kohun pari vuotta sitten, kun se julkaisi linkin kyseiseen dokumenttiin Twitter-tilillään. Sittemmin FBI poisti twiitin, mutta samainen dokumentti on edelleen ladattavissa FBI:n sivuilta saatetekstin kera. Kuva liitteenä.

FBI Twitter account tweets link to files on 'Protocols of Elders of Zion,' sparking anger and confusion

(JTA) — An official FBI Twitter account drew criticism for tweeting a link to a 139-page selection of the bureau's files on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the infamously anti-Semitic early 20th century text that accuses Jews of world domination.

The FBI Records Vault sent the tweet on Wednesday afternoon without context, and some Twitter users took it as a promotion of the message in the "Protocols." However, the Twitter account regularly tweets declassified archival FBI documents.

"Earlier today FOIA materials were posted to the FBI's Vault and FOIA Twitter account via an automated process without further outlining the context of the documents. We regret that this release may have inadvertently caused distress among the communities we serve," the FBI said in an email, referencing the Freedom of Information Act. "The FBI often receives information from members of the public, which is captured in our permanent files and released under FOIA law. The FBI must process historical files that were collected in the past some of which may be considered offensive."

The bureau added that "Per the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC § 552, the FBI makes records requested by three or more requesters available to the public by posting on the 'Vault.'"

The files in the link include different copies of the "Protocols" text, which claims it is "Proof that Communism is a Jewish world plot to enslave the gentiles and to seize power during the resulting chaos," as well as letters to former FBI head J. Edgar Hoover about it.
...

The tweet spurred thousands of responses: Some Twitter users cheered it, while others condemned it.

Bend the Arc, a progressive Jewish advocacy group, wrote on Twitter: "The @FBI is tweeting out the most famous, fabricated antisemitic text with absolutely zero context. This is the same anti-Jewish lie that inspired Hitler and the Nazi regime. Now it's coming directly from a white nationalist administration."

Cancel Culture: At the university, those who think differently will be punished again
Die Geschichte eines Sprechverbots: An der Uni wird wieder der bestraft, der anders denkt

Some people stubbornly claim that the cancel culture does not exist. What happened then at the University of Erlangen, where one of the most well-known ancient historians in Germany was just uninvited?
...
Two weeks ago, the ancient historian Egon Flaig was invited to the University of Erlangen to open a symposium on the subject of "freedom" with an evening lecture.

Flaig is one of the few representatives of his field who are also known outside of the professional world. Until his retirement he held the chair for ancient history in Rostock, and he is still regularly represented in major newspapers with articles.
...
Just a few months ago, he published a widely acclaimed text with which he interfered in the post-colonialism debate. Flaig pointed out in the article that the slave trade had not only white but also black perpetrators - and white victims as well.

A million Europeans led the Arabs into slavery, a number that shows that the desire for historic redress is not as easy to fulfill as some think.
...
A week before the planned performance in Erlangen, Flaig received a letter from the professor who had invited him, the archaeologist Andreas Grüner. With the greatest regret he felt compelled to withdraw the invitation, wrote Grüner.

What happened? Flaig asked himself the same thing and asked for a call back. On the phone: a contrite colleague who protested how sorry he was for everything. People were really looking forward to the lecture, but then the dean of the university asked if they really wanted to offer someone like Flaig a platform?
...
When Flaig pointed out that as a professor, Grüner was free to decide who to invite and who not, he again apologized. He must think of the young people.

If he persisted in his invitation, this would possibly draw circles and expose the scientific staff to reprisals. He would be terribly, terribly sorry, but he had no other choice.

Tällaisissa tapauksissa voisi yliopiston isopomo sanoa että "kerätkää adressi, todennetuilla allekirjoittaneiden opiskelijoiden tiedoilla, niin tiedämme ketkä ovat seuraavat pois potkittavat".
Merkillistä jos opiskelijat määräilevät mitä yliopistossa saa tehdä ja mitä ei.

Adidas canceloi kampanjansa Israelin painostuksesta johtuen. Israel ei voi sietää että palestiinalaista taustaa omaava malli Bella Hadid on mukana kampanjassa.

Adidas removes Bella Hadid from ad campaign after criticism from Israel

Company says it is 'revising' work for shoe designed for 1972 Munich Olympics, where 11 Israelis were killed by Palestinian terrorists

Adidas has pulled images of the model Bella Hadid from adverts promoting a sports shoe first launched to coincide with the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.

The German-based sportswear company said it was "revising" its campaign after criticism from Israel over Hadid's involvement.

The SL72 trainers, described by Adidas as a timeless classic, were promoted by Hadid, an American whose family has its roots in Palestine.

The model, who previously drew the ire of the Israeli government for allegedly chanting the slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", has been accused of antisemitism.

Israel's official account on X said it objected to Hadid as "the face of [the Adidas] campaign" in a post that noted that "eleven Israelis were murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the Munich Olympics".

Hadid has repeatedly criticised the Israeli government and supported Palestinians over the years and on 23 October made a statement on Instagram lamenting the loss of innocent lives while calling on followers to pressure their leaders to protect civilians in Gaza.

Adidas said in a statement that the campaign for the SL72 shoe "unites a broad range of partners". It said: "We are conscious that connections have been made to tragic historical events – though these are completely unintentional – and we apologise for any upset or distress caused.

"As a result, we are revising the remainder of the campaign."
...

Members of the Palestinian group Black September broke into the Olympic village on 5 September 1972. Eleven members of the Israeli team were taken hostage and killed.

It is not the first time that the sportswear company has cut ties with celebrity ambassadors after accusations of antisemitism.

Adidas ended its partnership with the rapper Kanye West in October 2022, saying it "does not tolerate antisemitism" after the rapper was suspended from Instagram and Twitter over offensive posts.

Münchenin verilöyly

Ajankohta   5.–6. syyskuuta 1972

Iskutyyppi   aseellinen hyökkäys, panttivankidraama, massamurha
Kuolleita   17
Haavoittuneita   20
Epäilty/epäillyt   Musta syyskuu

Münchenin verilöylyn muistomerkki
Münchenin verilöyly tapahtui vuoden 1972 kesäolympialaisissa Münchenissä, Saksassa, kun palestiinalaiset terroristit ottivat kaksitoista israelilaista olympiaedustajaa panttivangeiksi ja surmasivat heistä yksitoista. Panttivangeiksi joutuneista israelilaisista ainoastaan Gad Tsobari pääsi pakenemaan. Lisäksi kaappauksessa kuoli saksalainen poliisi ja viisi terroristia.

Terrorismi kaikissa muodoissaan on lopetettava. Sitä ei lenkkareiden varjolla ujuteta kansalaisille.
Ja vielä palenatsin esittelemänä tehdään juutalaisten murhaamisesta ikäänkuin muodikas asuste.
Terrorismiin yllyttäminen on rikos.

Tähän(kin) tuli muutos.

Olimme ehtineet sopeutumaan ja tottumaan siihen että aina kun vasemmalta älähdetään niin oikealla nöyristellään ja pyydellään anteeksi. Väärinajattelija sai työnsä takaisin. Hemmo on (tai on ollut) täysi rasisti, mutta mitä sitten jos ja kun osaa työnsä ja duunikaveritkaan eivät järkyty? Mitä olen sivusilmällä katsonut, niin on tuolla DOGE:ssa intialaistaustaisia ja vieläkin tummempaa väkeä.

I cannot overstate how much I loathe this emotional blackmail pretending to be concern.

My kids, god willing, will be risk takers. They won't think constantly about whether a flippant comment or a wrong viewpoint will follow them around for the rest of their lives.

They will tell stupid jokes. They will develop views that they later think are wrong or even gross. I made mistakes as a kid, and thank God I grew up in a culture that encouraged me to grow and learn and feel remorse when I screwed up and offer grace when others did.

JD Vance @JDVance

I don't worry about my kids making mistakes, or developing views they later regret. I don't even worry that much about trolls on the internet. You know what I do worry about, Ro?

That they'll grow up to be a US Congressmen who engages in emotional blackmail over a kid's social media posts.

You disgust me.
