There it is folks.

Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch

declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

      Exactly. Zionists believe they’re entitled to Israel just like Nazis believe “Aryans” were entitled to the Rhineland.

      Supporting either should be grounds for imprisonment.

      As a Jew with Zionist family in Israel and in the States, related to Holocaust survivors and victims, and student of other Holocaust survivors, I can confirm that you’re correct.

      During the early days of the Palestinian genocide, I overheard the following conversation between two old men at my mom’s synagogue:

      M1: They say that Israeli forces are using Nazi tactics in Palestine. Do you think that’s true? What do you think about that?
      M2: It’s been a very long time since the Holocaust and there has been a lot of healing. I think it’s time to admit that Hitler may have had some good ideas.
      M1: Hmmm… I wouldn’t go that far, but maybe it’s okay to learn a thing or two from the Nazis… From your enemies.

      These men also cry that we’re victims of the most violence and that our tactics are just to prevent another Holocaust. But I thought “tHeRe has beEn a LoT oF heALiNG.”

        Fuck that. Hitler was not “onto” anything. Neither are the current Zionists “onto” anything.

        All this fascism and racism needs to get exterminated.

      You basically lose any moral high ground by calling anyone Hitler/Nazi.

      Such a shit comparison. If Nazis were as benign as Zionists there wouldn’t have been a world war 2. No one would have given a fuck.

      If you want to criticize effectively, be more precise.

        Okay: precisely, Zionist dogma is equivalent to Nazi dogma where Zionist Jews are the privileged in-group. And what the Israeli entity is doing to Palestinians is equivalent in intent and practice to what the Nazis did to Jews.

        If I made any other comparison, I would be losing precision, because the comparison is so precise!

        … says the 5 day old obvious shitposting account.

        Might as well have just gone with ‘LogicalFallacyIdentifier’ or ‘IAmMoreCredibleThanYou’.

        How naive do you have to be to think openly killing people under the sun is the only kind of war there is?
