On Oct. 25, 1971, the United Nations General Assembly voted to admit the People’s Republic of China (mainland China) and to expel the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Communist P.R.C. therefore assumed the R.O.C.’s place in the General Assembly as well as its place as one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

The New York Times, in the Oct. 27 edition, described the reaction at the United Nations: “After the tension and drama of last night, today was spent in efforts at reconciliation and in political introspection and analysis.” It also noted, “Secretary General Thant appealed to all members to ‘endorse the tremendous step forward’ represented by Peking’s admission and to set aside suspicion and bitterness.”

The Republic of China had been a member of the United Nations from the organization’s formation in 1945, at which time it still governed all of China. However, in 1949, the R.O.C. government was expelled from the mainland by the Communist Party, the founders of the People’s Republic of China.

Though the R.O.C. only continued to control the island of Taiwan after its expulsion from the mainland, it still considered itself the one true government of China. This view was supported by the Western powers in allowing the R.O.C. to remain China’s representative in the United Nations. Their main motive? They wanted to prevent another Communist government from gaining a place in the Security Council.

By 1971, however, the People’s Republic had gained enough international support for the U.N. General Assembly to pass the resolution declaring that it, and not the R.O.C., was the rightful representative of China. The resolution specified that it was a “restoration of the lawful rights” to the P.R.C., indicating that the country had been denied its rightful seat since 1949.

The United States, the most significant opponent of the resolution, then argued for the P.R.C. to be admitted separately from the R.O.C., which would have allowed the R.O.C. to retain its spot. The proposal was defeated.

The Republic of China, which has largely relinquished its claim to mainland China, has continued to fight for a place in the United Nations. Over the years, it has applied to the U.N. under the name “The Republic of China (Taiwan)” and “The Republic of China on Taiwan,” but the applications have been denied. The U.S. supports a “one China” policy, which maintains that, though the People’s Republic does not hold sovereignty over Taiwan, there is only one China that includes both the mainland and Taiwan. It has not supported Taiwan’s applications for membership, objecting to what it perceives as “an effort to change the fragile status quo that has governed relations among the three.”

What are your thoughts on the Republic of China’s attempts to be recognized as an autonomous political entity? Do you believe that Taiwan should be admitted to the U.N.? Why or why not?

I’m gonna make a prediction right now. Actually, I’m going to make another prediction.

On October 5th, 2023, I predicted that something big was about to happen and Israel would be at the center of it. How did I know? Am I a prophet? No. But I pay close attention to geopolitics and the state of the world. Things were reaching a boiling point and it was clear things were about to explode.

And now I want to make another prediction. It’s not a good one. Not at all. It’s a terrible one.

Antisemitism has reached a point of no return. Hundreds of thousands of Jew haters marching through the streets of western countries disguising themselves as human rights activists who care about Gaza is a daily occurrence. Mass propaganda across social and legacy media convincing millions of ignorant people that Jews are literally the new Nazis has become the new normal. They’re being told we’re assassinating babies with snipers, intentionally starving children, and dropping bombs on people trying to get aid.

Jews are being assaulted on the streets of NY, London, LA, Sydney, Montreal, and the list just goes on and on. I don’t care what anyone says, what we are seeing now is Germany 1935 level antisemitism and it’s getting worse by the day. Jews in Gaza are being tortured and forced to dig their own grave and the world is silent.

The rapists of 10/7 are literally being rewarded for murdering Jews. Western countries rewarding them with a stage.

So far, that’s not a prediction. That’s reality.

Now think… If you were some random person in the west who can’t point to Israel on a map and you’re being told day in, day out that Israel is doing the things mentioned above…

Imagine you’re being told that Jews did 9/11 and that Jews control your life. Imagine you’re being told that Netanyahu is Hitler and he is the leader of the Jews. Just watch one episode of Candace Owens, which millions of people watch. Pure Jew hatred.

Imagine being told that random musicians and artists are being canceled because of the Jews.

Imagine being told that Jews are hurting children and that Jeffrey Epstein did what he did because he was Jewish. So did Harvey Weinstein.

What would you do if those things were hammered into your brain all day every day?

Well, for starters, I’d do whatever I can politically and diplomatically to restrain the Jews. Like, for example, I’d elect a mayor in a city where there are many Jews who despises Jews.

He’s gonna win. He will.

I’d do whatever I can to make sure that all the Jewish organizations out there will be outlawed because they are bringing chaos to the streets of America.

I’d outlaw AIPAC.

I’d stop letting Jews into positions of power whether in the political world, the sports world (Did you hear what happened to Deni Avdija last week? Google it), the entertainment world or any other world in which the Jews can seize more control.

But I wouldn’t stop there.

If I was told over and over that Jews in 2025 are the new Nazis and we are taking over the world, I’d stop it at all costs.

Here’s my prediction.

A very VERY large scale attack on Jews is about to happen.

I don’t know if it’ll happen in Europe, Australia, or in the United States (If I had to guess, I’d guess that it’ll happen in the US) but there are literally millions of brainwashed people walking the planet thinking that Jews are the manifestation of evil in the world.

All it takes is one.

I am telling you right now, I think it’ll happen in less than a month from now.

I’m not talking about some Jew being harassed or assaulted. I’m also not talking about a synagogue being vandalized. I am talking about a large scale, well coordinated terrorist attack on a very central Jewish location, somewhere where lots of Jews gather.

I hope I’m wrong but sadly I don’t think I am.

This attack will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and a huge number of Jews will make Aliyah.

This attack won’t be an isolated event. It’ll open the gates of hell for Jews outside Israel.

Jewish homes will be marked. Jewish businesses shut down. Jewish professionals fired from their jobs. All of that at scale!

After this attack, antisemitism will become all but institutionalized. The Democratic Party will fight hard to boycott Israel and they’ll have support from countless countries around the world, which will empower them to make Jew hatred a real policy of the party.

Jews will absolutely no longer be able to leave their house safely.

Some Jews will still convince themselves that they’re safe and that there’s nothing to worry about. Those Jews will sadly learn the hard way how much they are hated.

Many Jews, I don’t know if it’s hundreds of thousands or millions, will come to Israel out of fear. They will start a new life here.

The fact is, antisemitism has reached levels we have not seen since the Holocaust. I’m not referring only to Hamas. I’m talking about Jew hatred in the western world. It’s getting very scary.

Jew hatred is literally making otherwise smart people dumb. They believe things no normal person would believe. Things that are incredibly easy to debunk but they don’t bother.

The whole “I’m anti Zionist not antisemitic” lie is no longer necessary. Podcasters are openly praising Hitler and no one cares. So are artists. It’s widespread and it’s mainstream.

Like I said, I truly hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am.

All I can say to my brothers and sisters around the world, look around you at all times. Pay close attention to your surroundings and if you notice something off, report it immediately.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are now millions of people around the world who want to see a Holocaust 2.0.

Sorry to be an alarmist but I feel this in my bones. The Jew hatred around the world is about to lead to disaster.

All we can do is pay attention and pray. That’s what I’ll do, pray.

God, I hope I’m wrong.

Not in Gaza. Not in Syria. Not in Iran.

In Sydney, Australia.

I give it one month.

This one word encompasses several meanings applicable to the situation being faced today by Israel and Jews worldwide.

Michael Kuttner

Synonyms include treacherous, duplicitous, deceitful, false, untrue, dishonest, and two-faced.

Take your pick because any one of them more than adequately describes politicians, social influencers and the media and their orchestrated orgy of hate and disinformation.

There has not been such a fetid frenzy since the heady days of the pre-Shoah era. Today’s eruption of vile bile is eerily reminiscent of the blood-curdling libels of the Middle Ages when temporal rulers and ecclesiastical authorities combined to accuse the Jews of deicide and child murders.

It has always been a puzzle for good people to understand how the most outrageous accusations against Jews could gain such traction among supposedly educated and cultured sectors of society.

The answer, in fact, is very simple.

A relentless and constant torrent of poisonous lies and accusations is the most effective means to influence the masses. When the targets are Jews, the noxious seeds of hate germinate spontaneously.

I remember my mother and other German refugees recounting their experiences during the years leading up to the Shoah. They remembered how school friends with whom they had socialised for years suddenly wanted to have nothing to do with them. In 1933, Jewish children found that those they had imagined were lifelong friends had cut off all contact. From one day to the next, they were ostracised, vilified and abused. Called “dirty Jews”, German schoolchildren faced a bewildering reality.

The trauma these children suffered was shared by their parents. Many considered themselves loyal Germans and well integrated into German society. They had little understanding of how years of delegitimisation caused this catastrophic situation.

Today, we should know better, but have the lessons of the recent past been truly learnt?

Last week in Melbourne, students from Mount Scopus College visited a museum. They were confronted there by older pupils from a non-Jewish school who verbally abused them with the same “dirty Jew” slurs, among other unmentionable phrases.

What precipitated this onslaught from students who, in most cases, had most probably never had a Jewish friend and do not have the slightest idea what Judaism is all about?

The answer, of course, is very simple.

Thanks to a relentless campaign against Israel in the media, these students have absorbed a negative and toxic understanding of Jews. As has been proven, it does not take very much for this incitement to morph into hate for Jews. Social media and peer pressure contribute equally to brainwashing receptive minds.

Several troubling questions must be asked.

What did these non-Jewish abusers learn at their school about Jews and Israel?

Did the teachers accompanying those pupils make any real effort to stop and condemn this outbreak of intolerance?

How many of these abusive pupils picked up their shameful attitudes from their parents or home environment?

Apart from horrified shock, what steps are being taken to hold those responsible accountable?

Politicians, groups and the media who disseminate the most outrageous lies about Israel cannot hide from the inevitable fallout of their rhetoric and reporting.

Jewish students must be provided with sufficient knowledge and the ability to counter and cope with the tsunami of disinformation now flooding social outlets.

Those adults who still live in denial and believe the situation is all overblown and exaggerated need to take a long hard look at the past and wake up to the realization that inaction leads to disaster.

The warping of young minds is already well underway.

In a recent survey in the United Kingdom, 21% of young Britons say that Israel does not have the right to exist.

This comes hard on the heels of a US survey which revealed that half of young Americans support Hamas.

How many of them were part of the 20% of Jews who voted for the Democratic anti-Israel candidate for the forthcoming New York mayoral elections?

A recent American podcast illustrates the extent to which ignorance and the drip feed of lies can produce the most outrageous outbursts about Jews. The eight young participants claimed that “Jewish people caused the Holocaust and therefore they should themselves be eliminated.” This assertion was followed by accusations of Jewish conspiracies as the reason for problems in the USA.

The moderator did nothing to shut them down or challenge them in any way. If this example of the up-and-coming generation of Americans is anything to go by, then the future for Jews in that country is indeed bleak.

One has only to witness the chaos at US universities and the uncontrolled torrents of anti-Israel/Zionist bile to realise that a lava flow of Jew hate is waiting to erupt. The spectacle of Jewish Democratic politicians embracing and tolerating these manifestations is indicative of a deep malaise in the American Jewish community.

Jewish celebrities who suddenly discover their hitherto latent ethnicity and condemn Israel from the supposed safety of Hollywood and London are embraced by a media salivating at the prospect of disaffected “stars.” This week, Miriam Margolyes compared Israel and Israelis to Nazis, and the journalists were euphoric.

Politicians distort historical facts with gay abandon, and many communal spokespersons let them get away with it.

Australian PM Albanese stated that his country was proud to support the establishment of Israel in 1948 and two States. Presumably, he was referring to the 1947 UN partition plan. Glaringly omitted, of course, was the fact that the Arab representatives (Palestinian fake nationality not yet having been invented) rejected the very notion of a two-state solution. Albanese and his supporters deliberately erase this inconvenient truth and gloss over the 80 years of terrorism against the Jewish State.

The perfidious British, in direct contradiction to the Mandate provisions and the San Remo agreement, handed the territory intended for Jewish settlement to their Hashemite friends. Starmer, Macron, Albanese and others want to hand over the remaining strategic heartland of Israel to a terror-supporting entity.

Shamefully, some communal groups endorse this lethal plan. They equivocate by saying the time is not right, thus, in effect, giving a wink and a nod to its implementation.

What they do not comprehend is that the same jihadists who are waiting in the wings to murder and annihilate Jewish sovereignty are also rapidly entrenching themselves in democratic countries.

The recent horrific massacres of Syrian Druze by local jihadists highlight the fate that Israeli Jews would face if “Palestine” were ever established in Judea and Samaria. Israel was the only country that came to the aid of the beleaguered Druze minority, and even then, it was condemned for doing so. The international community, showing that it has learnt nothing from its shameful silence during the Shoah, remained conspicuous by its indifference.

University mobs and the usual “useful idiots” were nowhere to be seen or heard. Most media outlets contributed to a mass amnesia and instead concentrated their venom against the only nation that tried to defend the Syrian Druze from complete annihilation.

These daily doses of lies, slander, delegitimisation and hate are producing a harvest of poisonous fruit.

Dismissing and minimising these looming threats is a failure.

The only strategy is to stand up, speak up, demolish untruths and strengthen Jewish knowledge and identity.

As we commemorate Tisha B’Av and all the calamitous events which have occurred over the millennia, we should resolve to never again be at the mercy of those who prefer to appease Jew haters.
