The few among you must have noticed the troll's comments here. They don't last long here, thanks to the blogger who allows comments to be deleted, and they really do nothing for me, but I wonder what the unfortunate mental components are of those who choose to be a troll. First of all, he must be very cowardly, he has no profile, he has no figure and face, he is anonymous, he has no courage to express his opinion openly. And he doesn't actually have an opinion either, from his comments it is clear that he is very anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, and anti-Semitism is not an opinion. He is very angry that I really like people who support me here, and expresses his anger in a very childish way that indicates some other problematic lines in his personality. The overt and covert aggression he shows in his comments make me wonder where else this comes out in his life, and I'm sure this is a very unhappy person. Choosing to be a troll is choosing to be a bad and cowardly person, your comments are deleted before I even read them, so I suggest you, instead of investing the energy here, take care of yourself, maybe get the right treatment and restore your miserable personality.
Hate is such a self destructive emotion. It usually hurts the hater as much as their target.
ReplyDeleteIt has been going on here for so many years that I don't care anymore, in my opinion there are some trolls, including a woman, for whom I feel very sorry.
DeleteI'm sorry that your blog has these annoying and tiring problems. I'm not a troll , I just want to put some words clearer . Arabs are Semits too , so you must explain that antisemitism in a modern sense is understood as anti Israel and anti Jews which in a semantic way is incorrect. I hope your horrible difficult situation comes to an end and your government finds an appropiate solution
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
You are right Paul, but anti-Semitism is very much associated with hatred of Jews, since it was given a name in the eighteenth century.
DeleteI'm sorry this is happening, Yael. It takes a truly pathetic person to be a bully behind the anonymity of a screen. Deleting without engaging is probably the best thing to do. Attention only feeds trolls.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you continue to check in here and let us know how you're doing. I think of you every day and wish for safety and peace for you and your family.
Thank you Jennifer, this comment means so much to me.
DeleteI haven't had a troll for a long time. There used to be a guy who made the rounds yelling at babyboomers.
ReplyDeleteSince there are no more Israelis like me around here and maybe no Jews either, my blog is the place where anti-Semites pour their garbage.But someone who is a troll in his personality will always find a target to direct his poison to.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's wrong with people.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky that they are so few and the majority are good people.
DeleteI'm sorry you have to deal with pathetic trolls on your blog. It doesn't surprise me as Anti-Semitism is socially acceptable in elite US Colleges, Media and with elected politicians now. Democrats are afraid to support Israel as they fear the radical jihadists' in their own party.
ReplyDeleteAnti-Semitism has existed for several hundred years and is probably not going to disappear, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteTo hell with trolls. Delete delete delete. The rest of us are here to support and listen!
ReplyDeleteAs I said before, they are so few and the majority here are good people.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad that you are here and share with us like you do. I wish there were more Israeli bloggers out there. There is an Israeli tour guide I follow on YouTube who talks about these things sometimes as well, though mostly he shares videos of the holy sites in Jerusalem and elsewhere. Anyway, thank you for being here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heartwarming comment, I also wonder why there aren't more like me, there is another one but she avoids sensitive topics and thus manages to protect herself better than me.
DeleteI wonder if trolls are a bit like car drivers, whose personality changes when they get behind the steering wheel? They do and say things hidden by the internet/the car that they would never say in real life. Cowards!
ReplyDeleteCowardice is indeed a dominant element in the trolls' personality.
DeleteOne of my wife's ancestral lines was Jewish, a wealthy family in London around 1800-1840. The mockery and names they were called and had to endure in newspapers is astonishing, and unrepeatable.
ReplyDeleteThe roots of anti-Semitism did start with envy of the economic success of the Jews.
DeleteI often wonder how trolls are in real life. Would they show their ugly personality or would they seem just normal people?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you for staying here and telling us about your daily life. I check your blog every day and hope to hear from you. And I wish for peace and safety for you and your family and your contry.

Hilde, You are indeed very loyal here and I know the troll tried to mock you here precisely because of that, it again shows how twisted his mind is.
DeleteWell said Yael. Anti-Semitism in the UK is very left wing, and based on jealousy. The Jewish population have always been hard working, and usually successful, and 'lowlier' folk find them an easy target. It's all very childish, but also often dangerous.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanne.
ReplyDeleteCro, Indeed, it all started from envy of the success of the Jews in the previous centuries and continues to this day. unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteMy father had a few Jewish and black friends when we lived and worked in London in the 1950,1 must say they were all very friendly and nice people, I was young at the time, and didn’t notice the colour or religion until some horrid women asked my dad why do you associate with people like that, I asked my dad what did she mean, and he explained, which upset me.

ReplyDeleteHello Sandy, unfortunately anti-Semitism has existed for several hundred years, and racism as well, luckily you grew up in a family with progressive views.
DeleteTrolls are to be pitied. They are cowardand spiteful but I do feel sad for them.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this long stranding hatred of Jewish people at all. My heart belongs to one and he is the kindest man I have ever had a relationship with I wish you well Yael and for peace for Israel.
Thank you Carole,Good to hear you live with a good person.
DeleteJust wanted to let you know we’re thinking about you and hope you and your family remain safe
ReplyDeleteThank you anonymous.
DeleteI don't understand trolls either, angry people I'm guessing. Stay safe.
ReplyDeletePixie,Thank you for your comment and support. Since I published the post I have deleted quite a few comments of the troll here, apparently in addition to cowardice he or she also suffers from stupidity.
