‘Jews Are Just A Religion’ Wrongly Asserted In 408-Reply Israel-Palestine Thread For 320th Time

The thread began with a debunking of a notorious map purporting to show “Palestinian loss of land” since 1947.

Karachi, May 10 – A participant in a lively Twitter discussion on Jewish self-determination in the ancestral Jewish homeland and its impact on Arabs broke a record last night with his incorrect contention that Judaism constitutes merely a faith, and not a nation, an argument that brought to a cumulative total of 320 times that statement has, in various forms, appeared so far in the debate.

Muhammad Khan, a Pakistani feeling buffeted by forces beyond his control who seeks validation and a sense of power by abusing Zionists online, added his voice to the two hundred or so other replies in the thread, which began when a pro-Israel account shared a debunking of a notorious map purporting to show “Palestinian loss of land” since 1947.

“Some ancien documint dosn’t giv yu the right to take Palestine,” tweeted Khan, who proceeded to ignore, dismiss, or simply misunderstand the dual nature of Jewish status: not only part of a spiritual and intellectual heritage, but part of a single polity with common culture, ancestry, and rules for membership – a people. In so doing, Khan helped the thread surpass the previous record of 319 times that contention, explicit or implied, has appeared in a single Twitter thread.

The argument proved just as persuasive as its predecessors, in that other users wasted no time correcting his mistaken notion. As with the previous cases of that antisemitic axiom, its proponent refused to abandon the position, both because doing so would undermine his argument, and, more fundamentally, his sense of honor and shame will never permit him to admit error.

A spokesman for Guinness World Records confirmed the achievement this morning. “This thread, thanks to Mr. Khan and others, is the current record-holder,” declared Nott Thisseghen. “Antisemitic denial of Jewish peoplehood has a robust history, and many of us at Guinness had our doubts whether the contemporary milieu would produce any achievements of note on that front. Indeed, thanks to Mr. Khan and the other ‘anti-Zionist’ contributors, we now know the answer is Yes.”

Khan has contributed previously-invoked ideas to the discussion in other ways, such as falsely asserting that settlers are legitimate targets for violence under international law; incorrectly calling the Arabs of Palestine indigenous, though he spelled it wrong; blaming Jews collectively for the failures of Arab and Muslim societies; boasting that Pakistan could destroy Israel in armed conflict; accusing Israel of murdering innocent children, while calling those armed children engaged in violence “heroic martyrs;” and calling a tenfold increase the Palestinian population since 1948 “genocide.”
