Lee Kern, an acclaimed Jewish screenwriter and poet whose work has earned Grammy nominations and a Golden Globe Award, called for open violence against anyone who is seen as an “antisemite,” demanding that Jews around the world rise up and make them “fear us” by seeking vengeance.
In the wake of pro-Palestinian protests and demonstrations taking place across U.S. universities since April, and with angst growing more and more by the day around the world, Kern, who is also a British citizen, is now calling upon Jews to become violent against one who is an antisemite.
Published on April 17th on his Substack page, Kern wrote a piece titled “HURT – DON’T HEAL THE ANTISEMITE.” He begins his letter by writing, “The attempt to disabuse the world of antisemitism has been a monumental failure.” He went on to say that since antisemitic acts and vitriol acts against Jews are on the rise, he suggests “to increase our safety we need a new approach.”
This approach is no longer educating the world about the Holocaust and Jewish traditions, hoping the world will accept them, and instead of teaching peace he advocates violence. Kern wrote in his article:
The future of Jewish safety is not in teaching the world to be better people – but in teaching them to watch their step. We need to stop attempting to teach our haters to be nice to us, but rather teach them there’s a cost to their transgressions. Putting it bluntly: we need to teach the world that we will f*** up anyone who tries to hurt us. That is the lesson we need to be pushing. It matters not one jot that they know where antisemitism leads for the Jews. We need to show them where antisemitism leads for them, the perpetrators of antisemitism.
They don’t need to know what happened to the Jews in Auschwitz so much as they need to know what happened to the Nazis. They need to know the Nazis got f***** up, killed and destroyed. They need to know that Germany got levelled, destroyed and went up in flames. They need to know that German bodies and minds got broken beyond recognition. Antisemites need to know what happens to the antisemite – not the Jew. And we need to show them.
Those who attempt to kill us must be neutralised – and perpetrators of antisemitic speech and action need to have their lives attacked and diminished so that they experience the greatest personal cost we can extract. They need to suffer consequences to their reputations and their livelihoods. They must be shamed, exposed, humiliated, damaged and degraded. They must experience emotional and mental discomfort. The law must be used to punish them. They must lose their freedom if applicable.
Whatever means is available to hurt them should be used to the fullest extent. Their suffering must be harsh and without pity and serve as a deterrent to others. If others don’t pay heed to that deterrent – then they must also suffer. And it must be without pity.
Do we risk antisemites not liking us? They already hate us. Now let them fear us.
And some of you must stop this narcissistic impulse to want to redeem your abusers. This has nothing to with making the world better. It’s about satisfying your saviour complex and making you feel self-righteous. Stop prioritising your abusers. That in itself is a symptom of the abuse you’ve experienced. You have every right to prioritise yourself. Your abuser has not earned a right to your ongoing time and energy.
Furthermore, trying to generate a couple of feel good stories about an antisemite turned good is an inefficient use of our resources – something we can ill afford when so many active enemies must be thwarted.
It also sends the wrong message. There is no deterrent if they know abusing us is a revolving door that offers them automatic reputational rehabilitation.
Let’s hurt our haters and move on. Let it be seen they have been hurt.
We need to stop educating people to like us. We need to teach them to fear us. We need to show them we are mean, nasty and will inflict pain without remorse.
We need to hurt antisemites – not heal them. Do some of you feel a little anxious hearing this kind of talk? Does a Jew being aggressive and spiteful make you feel uncomfortable and anxious? Good.
That’s how our enemies should feel. Maybe then they’ll think twice about f****** with us.
Accompanied by this article was a short video posted on X a few days after Kern wrote his article, where Kern echoed a similar, fiery sentiment and call to action, though this time he clarifies by saying to do this within the confides of the law.
Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that updates what is legally considered antisemitism, which can be viewed as a crime, provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA). The group says on their website:
“Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:
- Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
- Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
- Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
- Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
- Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
- Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
- Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
- Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
- Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
- Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
- Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.”
Moreover, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) pressed Congress to renew an updated version of the FISA Act – a draconian bill that allows the FBI warrantless searches on Americans on a whim, and grants them access to every piece of electronic and telecommunications data collected – on the claims that the bill is needed to “protect Israel.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Proverbs 20:22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. [29] Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
Let’s be very clear in saying that what Kern is saying is absolutely by no means indicative of all Jews. Having said that, if this man thought “antisemitism” is at a fever pitch now, open calls for violence and performing atrocities on antisemites like the Nazis did to the Jews, and making them “suffer” and “fear” you – yeah, you just lit a match on a tanker of gas, and now you’re really going to see violence increase against you and your people.
And how are we defining “antisemitism?” The way the IHRA is? If so, and if Kern’s message and others like his are taken to heart by some Jews, and ultra-Zionists and braindead evangelicals, this will cause violence and bloodshed; especially the longer the U.S. keeps sending money to Israel while the U.S. collapses, the mess in Gaza persists, and more censorship bills are passed and enforced.
1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: [15] Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: [16] Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Be sure to read the commentary I gave on the Congresses’ passage of the Antisemitism Awareness Act.
The fact is that the foolish words and acts of a few are going to cost the Jews dearly coming up. And this is going to force more true-blooded Hebrews to return to Israel where they belong.
Psalm 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. [16] His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Interestingly enough, Kern recently posted that he is now moving to Israel. Definitely give it a read, but here are some of the salient points:
I’m leaving Britain and moving to Israel. Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving. Britain is a dying society. I’ll be fine in Israel.
We are the descendants of Jacob – who wrestled with an angel and refused to let go of a shitty situation unless it was turned into a blessing.
Whether you believe in miracles or not – we are the descendants of those who did – and that triumphant impulse of hope has saturated the unconscious rhythm of our entire being.
So whatever problems lie ahead for us – who knows how we’ll solve them – but we’ll find a way. If something is broken it can be fixed. Zionism is proof.
Once our nation was broken. We were scattered around the world. The re-establishment of our nation in our ancestral home – after two thousand years – is the most audacious act of repair in the history of the world.
Every Jew who makes aliyah carries back a small piece of the broken kingdom. Together we’ll build something even better than before.
This Jew, though blinded (Romans 11), is helping to fulfill Bible prophecy.
Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. [2] Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. [3] And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.[4] And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. [5] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. [6] In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. [7] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [8] But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“… I’m leaving Britain and moving to Israel. Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving. Britain is a dying society. I’ll be fine in Israel… ”
Indeed, Britain is a dying society – or already dead – but “anti-semitism” has nothing to do with it (the word itself is a misnomer, as Arabs – Ishmael – are also semite, descendants of Shem)
Is Israel a living society though? Criminality in Government, since the very beginning (murderous abuse of the Sephardim immigrants); overwhelming personal a-morality (no fear of God); social perversion (most openly sodomite country in the region); most oligarchical-enslaved country in the region (shocking tyrannical virus propaganda and jabs galore)
Israel’s title deed to the land (although the owner is God Himself), from Dan to Beersheba, cannot be disputed, but it has always been under God’s sufferance and NEVER by Israel’s merit or deserving.
Samuel said, “Is Israel a living society though? Criminality in Government, since the very beginning (murderous abuse of the Sephardim immigrants); overwhelming personal a-morality (no fear of God); social perversion (most openly sodomite country in the region); most oligarchical-enslaved country in the region (shocking tyrannical virus propaganda and jabs galore)”
You just described the DSA (Divided States of Amerika)! Doe you folks have the right to defend yourselves / country? It’s always different when the shoe’s on the other foot, and not on your own… A typical Western double standard? Methinks so.
I can understand his heart; like so many, he’s had enough abuse and maligning of Israel’s character, as well as his own as a Jew.
Attempting to pass such a bill / law in a lawless world will never happen. So many times we’ve heard, seen, or read that it is sometimes necessary to stand up to the schoolyard bully…to teach him a lesson. The same could be said in this situation; a lesson needs to be taught and learned. “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
Jesus told His disciples to buy a sword, two if necessary. And, if they didn’t have enough money for it / them, they were to sell their cloak to raise the money. This sword was for self-defense, not circumcisions! Israel / Jews has / have as much right to defend and to retaliate as any other nation does…while they still can.
Those real antisemites & replacement theologians will make a TON of ‘Noahide Laws’ hay & hate, & justification of violence, off of this idiot. It’s been building for awhile now. Then THIS shows up. Folly. But, as Jacob said, aiding the fulfillment of God’s word…..learning the hard way, if they learn at all.

De 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
De 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
De 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
De 7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

De 9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
De 9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
De 9:6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
As for the divided states of America & ‘Western double standard’, I would note that the reason for the division is not totally the covering manipulation by men & devils, but due to the fact that there are still some few who take the word seriously both in the U.S. & in Israel: the real word & not the Egyptian-Latin brand….which make the agitation & manipulations ‘necessary’ on the part of the fakirs.
–
When I say, the real word, I speak of the King James, & the Masoretic Hebrew sans the apocrypha & Egyptian style Greek. Not to mention that I know of real born again & renewed Christians of Jewish blood already in Israel. They are a distinct minority, I’m certain sure, & suppressed: but they are there.
–
While noting also that pure despotism in the East has been the norm since Babel. There is no struggle for righteousness where people are ignorant, superstitious, cowed in terror & culled of any bravery or dignity arising amongst them by a layered hierarchy & caste system. Just dead moralism & dulling philosophy which is neither sufficient nor godliness, but just the same idolatrous humanism working itself out.
–
The proud, ungrateful & blame-shifters are about to see that things can get worse. Way worse: as what lingering biblical influence there is in either nation is suppressed, & as close to ‘snuffed out’ as it can get this side of the catching away of God’s people & the time of Jacob’s trouble. Like in the dark ages.
–
Laodicea will continue to preen & trumpet, & deceive herself, of course…and there are many who cannot tell the difference already.
kddlporter, no matter how we slice it, the West is going down. I wouldn’t want my country to have to suffer the most evil atrocities that Israel did on Oct. 7. Nor would I want it flaunted in my face every day on my home turf, i.e. N. America, etc..
Let’s face it; real Word-practicing Christians are a very small remnant of N. America’s populace. With each passing day, the Church is being influenced by the world, rather than being an influence upon the world.
While this man is speaking from the heart, most of us have no idea what it’s liked to have our little babies roasted alive in a kitchen oven. Most of us have never had to watch our mothers or sisters being raped and their their throats slit, or their heads separated from their bodies, while the perps joyfully take and share pictures of the dastardly deeds with their own family members and others.
We can all be couch critics and judges, but it doesn’t do anything to put a stop to this diabolical behavior on our own soil. Lee Kern wants it to stop, and for all good reasons. The irony of all this is that while Netanyahu is doing his utmost best to exterminate Hamas in Israel, Obama and Crime Minister Castreau are doing all they can to import them to N. America. Here, they will proliferate and exterminate “all infidels”, ultimately conquering the whole world for their moon god. Of course, the RC cult is leading the charge, seeing they brought Islam to the world in the first place. The Laodicean church / cult is giving them all the support they can. It’s getting more and more difficult with each passing week, to be able to distinguish between this cult and the genuine Church. Not good!
As I’ve said before, if we’re not raptured soon, there won’t be anybody “alive” or that “remain” to be raptured. According to the KJB, we’re quickly running out of time. That’s fine with me!
You know I don’t agree with Lee Kern but thank God he has some sense to go back to his God given land, I hope he gets saved or become a saint in the time of Jacobs trouble.
In the past, Trump has said the the death penalty should apply to anti-semitism. Only the second politician in history to do so. The first, Stalin.
