Is there a more joyless creature than the anti-Zionist?
You’ve seen them.
They shuffle through the streets like self-righteous zombies.
An unwashed keffiyeh hangs limply from their necks.
Their throats are raw from heaping invective on the Jewish State.
Their every waking thought is consumed by ‘Isra-hell’.
That demonic entity has devoured every other earthly concern.
Ask them about the World Cup or Andy Burnham, and the deathless reply will come: 'What about Gaza!?'
Gaza is all that matters.
It pulsates in their brains like a tumour.
Every worldly event is hammered into yet another sermon on the devilishness of Israel.
Including the World Cup.
The frazzle-eyed Gazaholics insisted the final between Argentina and Spain was a shadow war between Israel and Palestine.
Argentina’s ‘anarcho-capitalist’ president, Javier Milei, is pro-Israel, you see, while Spain’s president, Pedro Sánchez, has become the pin-up of every bourgeois arse in Europe with his neo-Inquistition against the Jewish State.
Even global sport finds itself drained of joy and swept up in the fever dreams of the Gaza-brained.
The final felt like a ‘proxy for Israel vs Palestine’, said that most sodden of Gazaholics, Mehdi Hasan.
His interlocutor – Spanish actor Javier Bardem, whose whole soul seems to have been hoovered out by Israelophobia – agreed.
Milei, he said, ‘openly’ supports a ‘person who is a war criminal… Netanyahu’.
And that made people want to ‘support the other team’, the team that is ‘not supporting a war criminal’.
You sad, sad bastards.
Can the Gaza goggles not come off for 90 poxy minutes?
Trust the Zio-addled to turn a game of footie into a neo-Nuremberg.
Theft of joy is the bread and butter of anti-Zionism.
Even sport cannot prick the pomposity of the keffiyeh classes.
One author said he was supporting Spain because Gaza is the ‘moral prism’ through which many of us ‘see the world’.
That’s the problem, mate.
The cold, dead fingers of Israelophobia wrapped themselves round the neck of the World Cup, like when a French ref was branded a ‘Jew’ and a ‘Zionist’ following Egypt’s loss to Argentina.
As one headline said: ‘Israel didn’t play in this World Cup.
It dominated the games anyway.’
It’s a malady.
It’s a moral fetish.
They spy the Zio-menace everywhere.
Even the ascension of Andy Burnham to Downing St has been clouded by the deathly wail of 'What about Gaza?!'.
Activists demand to know when he will call the war in Gaza a ‘genocide’.
That’s the great moral test of the 21st-century wankerati.
Admission to the sacred circle of cultural influence is granted only to those who accuse the Jewish nation of genocide.
The keffiyeh is the uniform of the anti-Zio depressive, the genocide libel his holy tenet.
