The “Real News” of Fake Jews

Damning accusations about “fake news” have permeated the two Trump administrations. The president, who admittedly has no peer in political insults, is, nonetheless, not entirely wrong.

After all, the press went full-court press in blaming him for January 6 even though DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith ultimately could not charge Trump with incitement or insurrection. If the facts had matched the legal elements, the indictment against him would not have sidestepped the storming of the Capitol.

Perhaps even more egregious is the media’s propagandist stance on the “genocide” libel against Israel in Gaza. Any reporter who includes genocide and Gaza in the same sentence, without qualification, works for a “fake news” outlet. The following language must always be appended:

“Gaza is a warzone teeming with terrorists and civilians responsible for the October 7 massacre. The legal definition of genocide does not apply to casualties of war—no matter how many casualties there might be, a number that in Gaza is itself in dispute. Genocide requires evidence of specific intent to annihilate a people, which is simply not present in Gaza, where Israel warned civilians to evacuate, created humanitarian corridors and provided aid.”

Fakery in news is nowadays being surpassed by fakery in Jews.

Hannah Gann, a teacher in Philadelphia and a pro-Palestine activist, who purported to be both Black and Palestinian, has been revealed to be a white Jewish woman. She claimed her Arab family lived in the West Bank. A former classmate defrocked Gann of her multicultural and racial pretensions. Apparently, she used makeup and fake tans to darken her skin. And she adopted an African-American dialect.

In truth, she was never anything other than a longstanding self-hating Jew with Palestinian envy.

Talk about cultural and racial misappropriation! Gann buried all that white Jewish “privilege” under a mountain of virtue-signaling rot. One thing was true, however: Her actual family does live in the West Bank—but as Jews!

Elsewhere in the world of counterfeit Jews, a growing number in the entertainment industry are forsaking their silence (and integrity) and joining the treyf traitors of their tribe, like Jon Stewart, Seth Rogen, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jonathan Glazer, who are positively drunk on a toxic brew of Jew-hating Kool-Aid.

Adam Brody, the “Jewish” actor known as the “hot rabbi” on Netflix’s rom-com “Nobody Wants This,” placed an exclamation point on where he stands on Israel’s war in Gaza. In a recent interview, he stated: “Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.”

He has now surpassed all the other Hollywood Jews, save for Hannah Einbinder and Wallace Shawn, who agree with Brody that Israel is a genocidal nation.  Imagine that: doubling down in their disgrace—hating Israel and submerging their self-respect in a ritual bath of Palestinian love.

Brody plays a Reform rabbi on TV. Perhaps that explains it. Like many within that denomination, healing the world takes precedence over protecting their own. With such a blinkered view, Israel is always seen through hideously disfigured Hades-colored glasses.

Where and how did we end up with all these truly idiotic, morally obtuse celebrity Jews? Did none of them go to college, or is it that they didn’t know how to stand up to their antisemitic, Islamist professors? More likely, they just want to be liked and will say or do anything to preserve their seat at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria.

Brody must have had misgivings that a war in the Middle East—involving a Jewish state he had doubtlessly never visited and couldn’t care less about—had diminished his fame. More cynically, his outrageous response to the genocide charge could catapult him to the A-List.

He was quoted as lamenting his silence, which he has now punctured: “I’m not wearing a pin, … and perhaps I should. I really admire people who do.”

How grovelingly pathetic. Expect to see him at future red-carpet appearances donning “Free Palestine” accessories. Tabloids will photograph him beside Jew-hater extraordinaire, Javier Bardem.

The week was not all bleak. Turns out certain famous people not raised Jewish, only to one day discover that they have Jewish ancestry, are not writhing in self-disgust. British soccer legend, Wayne Rooney, revealed on the Disney+ documentary, “The Real Rooneys,” that he recently learned that his maternal grandmother’s family were Polish Jews who fled to Liverpool before the Holocaust!

Under Jewish law: he’s a Jew. Brody and Einbinder, faced with the same bad news, would have committed hara-kiri! Not Rooney, however, who was rather delighted by the news. This despite the rampant antisemitism coursing throughout the United Kingdom.

Ironically, this football-mad island nation would be lost without its iconic Jewish players.

David Beckham can bend both a soccer ball and a knee to Jewish prayer—his ancestral religion on his mother’s side through her grandfather. This information was not new to Beckham. As a boy he wore a yarmulka at bar mitzvahs, ate chicken soup, matzah balls, and latkes at his grandparents’ home. While never a practicing Jew, he still can recite the blessing over the challah.

Despite all that Hebraic backstory that would make Jon Stewart and Seth Rogen barf, he doesn’t feel the need to trash the Jewish state in order to retain his fame—even in an avowedly antisemitic country that still worships him!

All this happened while Ireland’s national soccer team reluctantly decided to play its UEFA Nations League match against Israel. Several of its players, however, including its goalkeeper, boycotted the game in protest.

The team’s manager said, “We’re playing against genocide. We’re playing against Israel.” The goaltender offered his own insight, no doubt a consequence of too many headers and too few books. “My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.”

Wow, what a deep and original thought. The goalie slipped through a rabbit hole.

What a lost tribe Jews really are. Those Jewish all their lives deny the association if it ties them to Israel’s defense of a homeland meant as a haven for them! In some demented exercise in low self-esteem, they desperately try to prove that they hate themselves even more than their worst enemies.

Meanwhile, there are those who came to their Jewish ancestry later in life—a soccer player and practicing Catholic like Rooney, authors Tom Stoppard and George R.R. Martin, and actresses Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba—who feel no impulse to erase themselves, blacken Israel, and take up arms with fashionable antisemites.

We now know that personal integrity, for a true Jew, does not depend on having become a bar or bat mitzvah.
