(The Algemeiner) Lars Fischer, a “prominent” Jewish scholar at University College London, has had a temper tantrum and resigned “in disgust” after the college’s Academic Board demanded the administration rescind its pro-forma adoption of the pro-Zionist IHRA definition of antisemitism:
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance [IHRA] Working Definition, which has been adopted by governments and educational institutions worldwide, is opposed by some in academia for including antisemitic ideas and rhetoric that attack Israel and Zionism.
The Board called on the university to “replace the IHRA working definition with a more precise definition of antisemitism.”
In a Feb. 9 blog post entitled “Saying Farewell to the Antisemitic Cesspit That Is UCL,” Lars Fischer, a scholar of Hebrew and Jewish studies and editor of an academic journal on Jewish history, wrote, “I have now become aware of the prominent role colleagues from Hebrew & Jewish Studies have played in spearheading the appalling assault on the IHRA definition currently being mounted at UCL.”
“When I embarked on the academic study of antisemitism, it was still taken for granted that one did so in order to combat antisemitism,” he said. “These days have long gone, and the academy is now full of academics who specialize in explaining why only some forms of antisemitism are harmful and others are not actually forms of antisemitism anyway.”
“Whatever they may believe their subjective intentions to be, they are doing wonders for antisemitism promotion and the fact that nobody can evidently curtail their criminal conduct is one of the greatest problems the planet currently faces,” Fischer said.
“Not being able to stop these reprehensible people in their tracks is bad enough, but each and every one of us has a duty at least to avoid becoming complicit in their antisemitism-promoting activities,” he continued. “I am therefore left with no choice but to resign my affiliation with Hebrew & Jewish Studies, even if this decision does amount to a likely fatal blow to my ability to function as a scholar.”
“To my former colleagues I say: You are all going to hell!” he concluded.
On Monday, Fischer told The Algemeiner that he would advise Jewish students at UCL “not to succumb to the gaslighting.”
“They may not always be able to do something about it but it’s important they maintain a clear awareness of the fact that the antisemitism they encounter is unjust and reprehensible and that they are not to blame for it,” Fischer said.
“They should stand up for themselves whenever possible. Antisemitism thrives on intimidation and the antisemites need to know that others, however few they may be, emphatically disapprove of their antisemitism,” he said.
The UCL Jewish Society and the Union of Jewish Students also spoke out against the Academic Board, saying they were “disturbed” by its actions and asserting that “Jewish student voices will not be silenced, nor dictated to by a small group of academics, who are more interested in theoretical discussion of antisemitism than practically supporting their students.”
Of the IHRA standard, the groups said, “Jewish students have consistently demonstrated that this is the definition that should be used in order to protect them best.”
“We are confident that the Provost, Dr. Michael Spence, will make the correct decision and reject the recommendation of the Academic Board and maintain the use of the IHRA definition within UCL and ensure the safety of its Jewish students,” they wrote.
Powerful Jewish supremacist “advocacy” groups — like the World Jewish Congress and Zionist Organization of America — are working feverishly to get every country, city, and academic institution in the world to accept this draconian, pro-Israel definition of ‘antisemitism’.
In a nutshell — by this broad definition, anyone who singles out Israel for criticism — no matter how factually based — is guilty of ‘antisemitism’.
And given how the academic Left — especially in Europe but also in the U.S. — is traditionally pro-Palestinian, this IHRA definition has been met with an enormous pushback — and this pushback includes many liberal Jews who do not feel any particular connection to Israel.
But Lars Fischer did get one thing right — “Antisemitism thrives on intimidation” — intimidation not of Jews but rather of the critics of Jews and international Zionism.
Jewish supremacist groups — especially the Anti-Defamation League — act as the strongarm enforcers of this international Zionist mafia, literally intimidating and silencing anyone who dares criticize Jews anywhere, for any reason.
If they get their way — and most likely they will — no one will be allowed to even use the term “Zionist” without punishment and public censorship.
People who dare criticize Jews — and now Israel — must live in fear that they will lose their jobs, their friends, their families — sure you have your “free speech” but it will actually be “free speech with consequences“.
No problem. One condition though. You and all of your people move to your country that cost a lot of lives and money from your oh so oppressive, persectued lives SARC.
You want your own words for every day racism or discrimination because you think you are better. You are not.
You do, however, have an entire country of your own to move to but you don’t. You would rather control our banks and bitch and moan about US in our own country when you have your own.
Case in point. You are not persecuted. Your tribe is rich from owning the banks and media and communications and you lie all of the time. You don’t have a real home or country becuase you are parasites that only control the money and don’t actually work. Only finance and beauracracy and lies and shell companines and ofshore this and that and ….well, we stupid cattle chattell goyim know, and we know you know. We will routt you out by any means necessary.
CFT,
Were you threatened to remove the picture of Lars? Well I checked him out and here is he is in full regilia…..https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/598741
In Imperial Germany (1871-1918), most ‘Socialists’ felt that the antisemites had a point but took matters too far. In fact, Social Democratic objections to the antisemitic movement often did not hinge on its anti-Jewish orientation at all. Even when they did, the Socialists’ arguments generally acknowledged widespread anti-Jewish stereotypes rather than questioning them. By focusing on the many notions that antisemites and anti-antisemites in fact shared, and by introducing a range of new sources, this book presents a radical reinterpretation of the Socialist response to antisemitism in Imperial Germany.
“Fischer here brings a sharp and unrelenting gaze to the classic texts that define the Jewish Question for German socialists. His meticulous analysis leaves little doubt in the reader that they were much more a part of the problem than a part of the solution.”

It’s not enough, its never enough (Michael McDonald) and will never be enough. The socialist are Marxists, and according to Rabbi Stephen Wise et, al, Marxism = Judaism. This dude now argues that socialist worshippers of Karl Marx, are anti-semites too…..Hilarious. That get’s me off the hook, they can’t pin the antisemite label on me, I am not a socialist or Marxist, and also refuse to worship death and destruction.
No, Lisette, we weren’t threatened to remove his picture. Quite frankly, we didn’t like looking at his smirking face at the top of our front page. It’s as simple as that. Aesthetics pure and simple.
Thank you, I am glad you did because that smirking face also gave me the creeps….
From the Devil they come!
“…These days have long gone, and the academy is now full of academics who specialize in explaining why only some forms of antisemitism are harmful and others are not actually forms of antisemitism anyway.”
So that’s what colleges & universities spend our money on, teaching students what is anti-Semitic & what isn’t?
No wonder Asian nations are far ahead on the IQ scale, they actually their students what is vital to have an inquiring mind & to doubt all BS, instead of the JEWSA, that starts brainwashing our kids in kindergarten on the many holoHOAX lies.
I fell at the first hurdle. There’s no such thing as an ‘academic Jew’. All their ideas are either ‘borrowed’ (think Einstein), or completely toxic (think Marx).
They hang on the coat-tails of civilisation in order to pass themselves off as even halfway-intelligent.
Anything not in a jews broad spectrum of anti-White activities or against their globalist viewpoints are considered off-limits.
“Prominent Left Wing Columnist Fired By The Guardian For Tweet Criticizing Israel”
“Jewish organizations driving “cancel culture” are racially motivated, not politically partisan. They seek to uphold the Jewish “post-war consensus” (domestic liberalism and Zionist foreign policy) by silencing opponents of mass immigration, globalization, mass media, finance, Jewish overrepresentation and gender ideology on the right along with Muslims and leftists who oppose Zionism and ethnic cleansing by Israel on human rights grounds.”

Thank you @Flanders, given the history I thought that people in Europe and the majority in America would have learned a thing or two, but nada, niente, zero, zilch. American’s have gone down the same path as Europeans before them getting played by this void of conscience supremacist cult, pitting them against each other, debauching culture, while crying victim and laughing their way to the bank. I am trying to make sense of this, but can’t because logical is totally absent.
