You forgot to mention the 5 billion dollar trust fund we all get at birth. I have actually had the experience of being confronted about this one. Crazy world.
I would love to know how to let the truth be enough - how not to need the reassurance of other people's understanding/education/open-mindedness/sanity. It's a scary world out there.
Reuben, boy can you write! One thought: D. Lipstadt had a policy of not debating Holocaust Deniers. For one thing, it gives them a platform- and second, they love to see their names in print. Then they can say “read what I wrote, he/she couldn’t rebut me.” Then you’re off to the races, arguing with a massacre denier. I don’t see the value of allowing them to “respond” to your columns. best wishes, etc.
I don’t agree with not debating idiots. I personally think your exchanges with Philistines are important because you always provide factual information and links, and I know from my own experience (feedback from readers) that rebuttals are extremely valuable to readers who may wonder where truth lies in these (often insane) exchanges! If they go to search something you stated… that can be a revelation of truth.
It's useless to argue with them, but I prefer to express my point of view so that they don't think that their nonsense is the only mainstream opinion.
And sometimes, to be honest, I'm just curious to watch how they get tangled up in lies, pseudo-theories, contradictions, trying to prove their moral superiority.
I hope that isn’t true. There are so many sources linked in this document. The commision are well respected professionals. There is no bias. Just plain simple truth reporting the course of events.
A few years ago, I finally had enough of ignorant shitwittery in my comment sections and simply will not allow it. I make this abundantly clear. Anyone who trolls is immediately silenced. People will engage in good faith and politely on all my articles or not at all. Still had one man going full dementia melt down at me yesterday because he could simply not accept that he's not Irish, he was breathless with rage and posted three separate comments before he had managed to fulfil his desire to sound as spittle lipped and slack jawed as possible. I removed his comments and banned him from commenting, because he does not have the right to stagger into my house and vomit on my carpet. Not all commenters are created equal.
People are small minded apes, for the most part, who thoroughly enjoy beating their chests and have no desire at all to learn anything resembling the truth. That's bad enough, day to day, I cannot even imagine how exhausting that must be when you are discussing something as important and terrifying as what the terrorists did to those Jewish people on October 7th, when it is something so important and so linked in to your very survival. I cannot imagine how you must feel when the violently hateful anti semites seek you out to spew their bile at you.
I'm sorry, I wish there was an answer. People are a failed species. At this point, I am hoping for divine intervention.
Well said Reuben! And well written. Keep orchestrating those conspiracies and distorting reality for the rest of us who are running out of patience for the knuckleheads and useful idiots spewing pro Palestinian propaganda. As Lucy Tabrizi said in her latest post: "These “activists” — whose biggest contribution to “Palestine” is testing the patience of everyone around them — truly believe a sovereign country called “Palestine” once thrived, until villainous European Jews stormed in, expelled the “indigenous Palestinians,” and have been brutally “occupying” them ever since, purely out of malice. Oh, and apparently, this is what creates jihadists like Hamas — as if terrorism is just an inevitable side effect of territorial disputes. None of this is remotely true, but why let facts ruin a good outrage spiral?"
What’s scary to me is how common it is to be rabidly, virulently antisemitic to the point that you are totally irrational and delusional. For example, I just had a conversation with ppl on Kendrick Lamar’s Reddit page who thought the Jews purposely started both World Wars. Why they would want to genocide themselves remains unclear, but it was shocking that these seemed like otherwise normal ppl. Maybe everyone else already knew this, but before Oct 7th, I genuinely had no idea ppl still thought this way.
in whut alternate reality are we ALL in when a self-proclaimed "crackpot" who also happens ta be a seat-a-the-pants think-fer-yerselffer AND an' actTRUSS is ACCUSED of bein' the follerin', JUST fer sayin' nize thangs 'bout us joos:
a. mossad shill (ha ha ha--no. nobuddy pays much fer crackpots on soapboxes!)
b. paid zionist troll (ha ha ha ha + oy... my income is near-zilch as a a canceled performer not diverse enuf an' full-out refusin' all countermeasures--WHO pray tell'd pay me more than a few sheckles like pennies fer my thoughts?)
c. racist "troll" (whut?! I write in tribute ta the likes of Al Capp, Mark Twain, Granny Clampett and a real-live Uncle from Kentucky--dat's racist?)
d. AI or a Zionist BOT (omg I just cain't!)
e. a doppleganger fer a known joo-hater whose name I won't even deign ta print here (say whut?!)
f. a "chaos agent" (nope, not even KAOS but I'd sign up fer "CONTROL" ta woik fer Mel Brooks any day lol)
g. a man (one reader who had nuttin' against we joos axchually said I wuz too funny ta be a laydee--oy)
Everyone's an expert an' yet we non-expurts seem ta "own" a monopoly on usin' our noggins... guess it comes with the territory (along with mandatory piana or violin lessons an' developin'--at least in NewYawk--an odd taste fer Dr. Browns Cel-er-ray soda...)
why sure! an' when the durn game's ovuh we don't git the prize! They seat us by the terlets (only the BEST seats in the jernt) an' instead of givin' us the As Seen on Teevee home "Kerry Yolkey" set, we're shown the door (often with aid of a 100% vegan pleather BOOT!)
at least it's exercise fer our jawrs 'n keyboards ;-)
I especially love the know-it alls that are experts in Jewish genetics, history, etc. We are not real Jews, but descended from some extinct Turkish area tribe that were converts to Judaism. Sephardic Jews are not, as are the Ashkenazy (or were they really Nazis?) Of course, the only real Jews are the Rothschilds who worship Satan. You know that all Jews are colonialist Zionists who aren't real Jews. Finally, Jews never lived in Israel. But, Reuben, you would know all this if you read all the testimonies of the online experts.
I'm grateful to all the Jew-hating, name-calling, Israel-bashing, fact-inventing, terror-promoting, uneducated idiots who feel free to weigh in on subjects about which they know next to nothing. It is because of their deeply held but uninformed opinions that I've been inspired to write over 80 Israel-supporting stories since October 7, 2023.
Brilliant yet entertaining! Seems I’ve been waiting so long to hear this premise articulated for public consumption. Your metaphors are repeatable, and your satire, delicious! 🤩

Sounds like solid policy. Thanks Ken

Thank you for the link. I’m so tired of the apologists for the savages of Gaza in full atrocity denial.
Needs to be shared far and wide.
I’m sure the usual suspects (Max Blumenthal etc) are working now to try to discount this document.
I hope that isn’t true. There are so many sources linked in this document. The commision are well respected professionals. There is no bias. Just plain simple truth reporting the course of events.
Then again…people chose to deny the Holocaust.
Well you know the truth is poison to these people. Since October 7 2023 they have being vomiting lies

Lol…I think we’re all waiting for that divine intervention.
Actually, I’ve read two articles, so there!
I've heard that about you - world renowned doesn't even come close to describing your expertise.
Ian Blackhall is not cognitively up to Substack standards.
That dude is a drunken imbecile.
I've never seen him say anything except these monosyllabic insults.

Reddit always brings out the nutjobs. Hmmm…that culd be said about EVERY social platform. Does Instagram have this issue? I know LI, FB, X do.
