Somebody named "blackblog" left the following comment on YouTube to my music video "Protocols". YouTube has a limitation on how many words you can leave as a comment so I've chosen to respond here.
Firstly, to follow this you probably need to be familiar with the video - the link is above.
Now here's his comment:
blackblog:
Hmmm - Some people think that you are damned. I don't think the portrayal of Catholics in this video is any less inflamatory than what Gibson said in a drunken stupor. If this is a joke, it isn't funny and certainly won't create any positive feeling from non-jews, but I don't get the impression that the creator of this video cares about that.
Here's my response:
You’re right, it’s NOT funny at all. As a Jew, it is not I who has to explain centuries of well documented Christian persecution of us because of our refusal to accept Jesus. And if my line is inflammatory because it's difficult to deal with this history - please accept my "sincerest" apologies - I wouldn't want anyone out there to actually have to look in a mirror and take stock of reality. I don’t hate Christians, nor do I hold them personally responsible for the past actions of their religion. Nowhere in my song is this suggested. I am also well aware that there are many different beliefs and paths within Christianity, some of which would not ascribe to the idea that I automatically go to hell for not believing in Jesus. But my song is not specifically about Christians – it’s about anyone who thinks that their way is the ONLY way and that everyone else is doomed. To compare my satirical line to Mel Gibson's tirade is a disingenuous and feeble attempt to avoid taking responsibility for history and cast the blame for Anti-Semitism on the victim.

can they blame us?
Check out this same post on my Myspace page where there's been more of a back asnd forth between me and the original poster...
ReplyDeleteRav Shmuel,
ReplyDeleteShalom u'vrakhah! I found your video and posted it on my blog. Some people just don't get sarcasm, do they?!
Keep up the creative good work. A tiny question:
למה עזבת את הארץ ומתי אתה חוזר?
I put up your 'Protocols' video on my blog. I think it's very clever. Unfortunately, some people don't understand sarcasm, and miss the entire point. Looking forward to more creative endeavors-keep up the good work! (-and would be honored if you'd read and/or comment on my blog).

the sheer arrogance...
so they think they can have rights (says the song).
WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF NON_JEWS TO CRITICIZE:
jEWS, ISRAEL, ZIONAZISM, the HOLOHOAX-RELIGION brainwash program for the Goyim.
Or mentioning THE HOLOCOAST UNDER BOLSjewISTS OF 40 MILLIONS CHRISTIANS IN RUSSIA.
etc etc.
ALL UNDER HATELAW now of ANTISEMITISM CREATED BY ADL.
ADL: A jEWISH supremacist group that contradicts the constitution of the USA - 1st amendment of free speech.
A group that runs the USA from behind the scenes.
jEWS suck........ (And that are not even jEWS but Ashkenazi & Edomite mongrels (Gog & Magog).
spread out the news:
those who criticize jEWS and there works are now monitored and being banned from making comments on youtube.
Tkanks ADL and jEWS for killing 1st AMENDMENT & free speech
SO EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE PROTOCOLS ARE TRUE EVEN jEWS.
BUT BECAUSE jEWS LIKE TELLING THE NON_TRUTH WELL IT'S OBVIOUS:
THE EVENTS MENTIONED IN THE PROTOCOLS ARE PROOF ENOUGH TO HUNT EVERY jEW INTO THE SATANIC PIT EVENTUALLY.
IT"S A CURSE UPON THEIR ARROGANT ASHKENAZI MONGREL (GOG & MAGOG) HEADS.
How sad. Another racist bigot hiding behind the first amendment. The fact that this person believes such historical lible as fact is frightening. This is the kind of hateful character who believes EVERYthing is a conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is: G-d's conspiracy. G-d conspired to reveal the laws of human decency to the Jewish people, who have passed this information to the righteous amongst the nations (the children of Noah).
You know, I'm very sorry us "Gog/Magog mongrels" have given you such heinous institutions like civil rights, social justice and the very premise that provides a foundation for the US Consitution that allows you to perpetrate these libelous claims.
The fact remains, all humans are mongrels. 100% of humanity is intertwined, one culture to the next. No "race" exists apart from the HUMAN race. So we're ALL mongrels. Some are kinder mongrels than others....
May G-d bring us peace;

Rav, your response was well said. I'm sorry you have to put up with such drek. "Protocols" is entertaining and hilarious (and I'm a Christian). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOf course the hate spewed below was from someone writing ANONYMOUSLY. Have the courage to at least use a pseudonym. But that's all secondary to the sadness I feel that someone actually thinks the Protocols are true despite never ending de-bunking.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Anonymous. Dude.
ReplyDeleteHappy Khanuka.
:)
Are you serious???
ReplyDeleteConspiracy theories have been around for centuries and centuries, but this just takes the cake.
Let me guess, there was a blood lible in your neighborhood too?
Get real, in this day and age with mdoern technology, its pretty easy to prove these movements, we know about the muslims trying to take over the world, and a bunch of other nuts, but i have yet to see the cia uncover this plot by the jews...the fact that Jews are successful? well get off your lazy butt and start studying/working and maybe you can "take over the world" too!
As regards to your rights to be antisemitic? Well criticize Israel/zionism all you want, you certainly wouldnt be alone, have you read such obscure prints as the New York Times that do the same? but to express hate against a people- well no that would be pretty wrong to do against Jews, blacks, catholics, women, or anyone else
you can not sielence truth, even you stuff tora ap me face
