AntiSemetizim and AntiTigrayanism are one and the same

Anti-Semitism has been in existence since the birth of Israel and the Jewish people have been persecuted, repeatedly invaded, and scattered worldwide throughout history. However, it was Hitler who created a storm of Anti-Semitic violence not only in Germany but inspired anti-Jewish movements throughout Europe and the world. Hitler and his followers regarded Jews not only as a subhuman race but as dangerous cancer that would destroy the German people, which must be eradicated from the human race. In Nazi ideology, the problems they perceive in Jews were to be biological and their elimination was essential to the purification and even to the salivation of the German people. Similarly, the traces of anti-Tigrayanism have been existing in Ethiopia and Eritrea for some time in latent form. The phrases like " ትግሬ፥ገዳይ", "ትግሬ፥አንበጣ፥ቆርጣሚ", " Komal Agame", "ቅማላም፥ትግሬ", "ትግሬ፥አሲድ፥እግር ", "ድሀ፥ ትግሬ፥" etc. have been silently spoken within the society. Even though Mengistu Hailemariam had a slip of tongue such as " ለጠመኔ፥መግዣ፥የሚሆን፥ገንዘብ፥እንኻ፥የላቸውም፤" , "ድሆች፥የምንባለው፥በነሱ፥ምክንያት፥ነው፥" , "የናት፥ጡት፥ነካሾች፥" " ባንዳ፥" , "አስገንጣይ፥" etc., he was very careful not to create a full scale Anti-Tigrayanism sentiment, during his time. However Abiy, in compliance with Isaias and the expansionist Amhara elites directives, has been trying to create Anti-Tigrayanism sentiment throughout the society using derogative words such as "የቀን፥ጅቦች፥", "ፀጉረ፥ልውጥ፥" , " ሌቦች፥" ," ካንሰር፥, " አረም፥" "እንቦጭ” and producing highly sensational several documentaries and speeches that were aimed to blackmail and demonize Tigrayans such as "the torturers were Tigrigna Tenagari" , " the killing was arranged by Tigrigna tenagari Oromo", ' "the Tigrayan population attacked our army" etc... etc . Over all Abiy and his followers have been using full blown Anti-Tigrayanism that covers political, economic, religious, nationalistic and racial aspects as illustrated below:
Political Anti-Tigrayanism- Politically motivated collective permanent and temporary layoff of Tigrayans from government offices and organizations, demotions, targeted arrest , killings, travel ban etc.
Economic Anti-Tigrayanism: Blockage of banks, transport, communication, aid, famine as a weapon of war, closure of Tigrayan businesses for months without any valid reason
Religious Anti-Tigrayanism: Worshipers of dragon(Zendo), Setan, Non-believers. More evil than Setan etc.
Nationalistic Anti-Tigrayanism: Ager Afrash, Kehadi, Banda, Yenat Tut Nekash etc
Racial Anti-Tigrayanism: Leboch, Cancer, Weed, Egire Acid(destructive),banda, Yemaitamenu , ethnic profiling based displacement, arrest, rape, torture, and killing e.t.c. It is mind-boggling to know that one of ESAT's journalist( Mesay Mekonnen) has recently called for Tigrayans in Ethiopia to be gathered and placed in concentration camps! Knowing the fact that ESAT has been the main out let for anti-Tigray and genocidal campaign, Mesay's call may not be his own but Isaias and Abiy plan to be implemented soon and this is a proof that Isaias/Abiy Anti-Tigrayanism and Hitler's Semitism are one and the same.
