“Many on this platform still believe that they can tease Zionism away from Judaism. That’s not possible. It’s time for me to repost my previous explanation. And yes, if you use ‘Zionist’ as a slur, or rage against Zionists, you are indeed a Jew hater.”
This is a considered and measured response to that tweet and associated tweets.
Hananya Naftali self-identified as Israel’s Voice in the Media | Speaker | Middle East Expert had this to say about Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez.
Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez just told Mahmoud Abbas that the devastation in Gaza is “genocide” and that Israel must be held accountable, on Human Rights Day, no less. 🤡
This is the same Spain that just recognized “Palestine” while Hamas was still holding hostages underground. Meanwhile, Pedro is hugging Abbas, the guy whose Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and names schools after murderers.
If Hamas launched rockets at Madrid for 20 years, I’m pretty sure Spain wouldn’t be handing out ceasefire roses. What a hypocrite.

An Open Letter to Brendan O’Neill of The Spectator
Sir Afilonius Rex and the Editorial Team
Brussels, The European Union, 3rd December 2025
Brendan O’Neill claims that Dublin City Council’s proposal to rename Herzog Park amounts to “erasing Jewish history.” He argues that removing Chaim Herzog’s name is like scrubbing a Jew’s name from a public space. Herzog was a Belfast-born Jew who later became Israel’s sixth president. He suggests this action is antisemitic. He presents the renaming as a disturbing and targeted act rather than a routine administrative decision.
Here is a response from some leading associates of goodstrat.com
The trauma and post-traumatic stress from the Holocaust and historical pogroms profoundly influence many non-religious (secular) pro-Zionists today. This manifests itself as mechanisms like inter-generational trauma, collective memory, and a deep-seated sense of vulnerability tied to Jewish identity. This isn’t limited to religious observance; Judaism often functions as an ethnic and cultural heritage. Situations in which historical persecutions shape worldviews even among atheists or agnostics. Here’s a breakdown of why this persists and affects them so significantly.
Inter-generational Trauma Transmission
The trauma from the Nazi Holocaust was passed down in multiple ways. Centuries of pogroms across Europe and the Middle East also left their mark. It was passed down biologically, psychologically, and socially. Studies show epigenetic changes. These are alterations in gene expression that do not change the DNA sequence. They can occur in the offspring of survivors. This leads to heightened stress responses, anxiety, or depression.
Note: Epigenetic. Relating to changes, especially heritable changes, in the characteristics of a cell or organism. These changes result from altered gene expression or other effects. These do not involve changes to the DNA sequence itself.
