        An antisemitic slogan used by Hamas within their charter. Antisemites and the otherwise ignorant use the slogan as a means of co-opting peace efforts and identifying other extremists.

          On what planet is this antisemitic? That’s like saying MLK’s I have a dream speech is anti-white.

            Germany, amongst many.

            I figure they’re an expert on identifying antisemitic slogans, considering their history and also the whole Hamas verbatim saying the same slogan. Personally I’d question using a phrase that a terrorist organisation also uses, but Lemmy users don’t actually go outside, so shrug

            either way if you use it here i’ll ban ya

              Well said! I don’t always agree with your viewpoints on all things, but I admire you standing up for yourself and running your community how you see fit.

              You figure wrong.

              Germany has a Staatsräson that follows Israeli state narratives as an official form of redemption for their past and does not recognize the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians committed by the Zionist Entity, which is heavily supported by German weaponry. Germany, being accused of complicity in said genocide in front of the International Court of Justice. The chancellor calls the racist annihilation and colonization of Palestinian land „Drecksarbeit“ (dirty work).

              The phrase is not illegal in Germany, as there is no law against it and courts have decided in favor of the legality. But it is misused for state repression against protests against genocide, by misusing anti-semitism as a pretense, just like you do. People that like to equal Judaism and Zionism, which in itself is anti-semitic, as it umbrellas every Jew under the atrocities, that are committed by the Zionist state of Israel.

              The phrase implies freedom from colonization and for all people in the land of Palestine, which includes Jews, btw. Interpreting it as anti-semitic is a malicious use of the term, just like it’s misused to smother every form of dissent. Israel itself uses the phrase to advertise their imperialist greater Israel project, and therefore again create a narrative where they themselves do what they are accusing others of, as they are the ones actually doing the ethnic cleansing, not the would-be one by Hamas, that disingenuous people like you try to focus on.

              Germany has no authority over the definition and use of the term anti-semitism and how would they, as they did the freaking Holocaust in the first place. But what they like to do is do everything that Israel wants in order to appear as the chastened and repentant nation they wish to portrait. You clinging to that kind of argumentation is very telling, same as banning for the use of the phrase. But you are a Zionist, and as Germany will oppress resistance, so will you by willfully mischaracterizing the ways in which the phrase is used as anti-Jewish, instead of anti-colonial or anti-racist or anti-Zionist.

              I’ve pretty much only seen the phrase used by anti-Palestinian genocide supporters and only deemed anti-semetic by Israel and those who kowtow to Israel.

              I would have thought you would also be against the genocide of Palestinians.

                Unfortunately, it’s also associated with a form of the one-state solution that involves throwing the Jews “back to the sea”, as many ‘leftists’ and some self-professed anarchists here will simp for.

                Whether it’s been reclaimed by Fatah’s moderation in the 90s for a more inclusive one-state solution, and Hamas’s subsequent conciliatory position in the late 2010s, is certainly a matter of personal opinion. I wouldn’t regard it as antisemitic, but I do understand that it gets hackles up for reasons that are more complex than just “They obviously support the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel”

                I’m against all genocide. But I’m not so campist to the point where I turn a blind eye to bigotry and hatred, and I honestly don’t care what internet weirdoes think, especially Lemmy of all places.
