Jewish identity is a controversial thing, made all the more inscrutable by Christian and Muslim counterclaims and centuries of inter Abrahamic warfare. Everybody asks, who are the Jews? And answers rain down like a shitstorm. They are Semites; they are Hebrew; they are Phoenicians from Carthage; they are chosen, Zionists, Ashkenazi, Sephardim, Khazars, Lizard People, Synagogue of Satan, possessed by demons, or else devious Enlightenment occult impostors, et cetera, ad infinitum.
I try to keep it simple. All of Judaism traces back to the book of Genesis. So does Christianity, as the claimed fulfillment of Jewish prophecies. So does Islam, as the claimed inheritance of Abraham. Genesis tells us everything we need to know about the origins of the Semites, Hebrews, and Israelites: the forerunners of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But we must also keep in mind that the characterizations of Genesis are pure fiction, since the real Hebrew of history were the Apiru.
Genesis says the human race was first cursed by YHWH because Eve claimed her right to the knowledge of good and evil. YHWH curses humanity again when Cain slays Abel. Later, in his rage and lack of influence, YHWH unleashes a world flood that only leaves one family alive: Noah, his nameless wife, and their male heirs.
These heirs are Sem (father of the Semites), Ham, and Japeth. Ham also has a little son named Canaan - the very name of the land that became Israel. One day Ham sees Noah naked in a drunken stupor and invites his brothers to take a look. Noah awakens and becomes enraged, cursing Ham’s progeny to be the servants of Sem and Japeth’s progeny. Ham’s children, named after choice pieces of real estate, not only include Canaan, but all of North Africa. This is the origin of “Semitism”: the idea that Semites are entitled to claim these lands and turn their own cousins into servants.
As I have written before, Semitism is literal racist supremacy. There is a reason Jews and their allies want to blame white skin instead of Jewish text for centuries of Judeo Christian colonialism and ethnic supremacist certitude. They have become openly racist against white people in their bid to appear non racist.
Here’s the kicker. Genesis says that the Ashkenazi are not Semites. In fact they are Japethites; in other words, descended from the “kings of the north”, in other words from Asia and Europe (Genesis 10). This means the Ashkenazi are not Hebrews or Israelites either! Insofar as “Judah” was also originally half of Israel, Ashkenazi are not even descended from Jews. Yet Noah cursed the Hamites to serve both Semites and Japethites, so the Ashkenazi do have a religious claim to slavedriving.
Thus you can criticize and or hate Ashkenazi as much as you like without being an anti Semite, because the Jewish Bible defines them as non Semitic. I have always been told that Jews are immersed in the Torah from an early age, which is what makes them so smart and generous and unimpeachable. But with Ashkenazi running around defending themselves by calling their critics “racist anti Semites”, there can only be two explanations. These people are either fucking stupid, or fucking liars.

Bro, embrace the power of AND.
As I always say in similar contexts, "stupid or bullshitting, or maybe both... but DEFINITELY not neither".
I received half of the message you sent me, LM (no longer GT), but because I literally hate the substack ap, I was unable to read all of it or to reply. Still, I appreciate your thoughtfulness in writing. - Feel free to email any time you wish.

I think it's my best on this theme so far.
