“Global antisemitism on the rise”. Is that because Israel turned genocidal against the Palestinians?
More specifically it’s because Israel and its allies are running a successful global campaign of conflating opposition to its genocide with antisemitism, which, in turn, normalises antisemitism, which, obviously, harms Jewish people everywhere.
I still agree with the “Jews against Zionism” crowd who take great offense to the idea that anti-genocide is the same as antisemitism. Because that seems to insinuate that genocide is linked to Judaism, which in itself is a pretty antisemitic idea.
If I was a non Israeli Jew, I would be PISSED at Israel for that exact reason.
I won’t say the same of Israelis, because looking at the percentages who are pro leave no Palestinians alive, they seem too much like a blood lusted cult to care about the opinions of.
And yes I know the Palestinians feel the same way, but the party with the bigger stick matters and always shoulders the burden of wielding that stick responsibly, and Israel has no interest in that.
As a non-Israeli Jew I will confirm, I am very very very fucking pissed not just because they have made the world less safe for me but because this poison of national narcissism has used our trauma as a tool of evil. I can’t participate or be near my own culture anymore which was once a deep comfort for me who’s last memories of many of my late loved ones being our shared religious ceremonies. The name of Israel on my lips in prayer now sours the kiddush wine.
Well said.
“well, if the shoe fits”
well, if the shoe fits
Well, the shoe fits.
I choose to believe these are rage-bait and false flags. Otherwise, multiple someones managed to learn a language with so little introspection and contextual understanding that I’d have to downgrade them to an LLM.
I actually want to watch Superman now, and I will 100% assume this genocidal US ally is a stand-in for Israel and appreciate it all the more for it, because the shoe certainly fits.
I didn’t catch on to the allegories in the film until after I finished watching it. I can, however, attest that it really is a great film. It’s funny when it wants to be, tells a story I found interesting, and really feels like a comic book in some of the best ways.
Fuck Superman. The US just as complicit and don’t tell me this movie is some rebellious act. This is a major corporation co-opting a message to move units.
(No offense, just tired of all the marketing that’s getting passed around)
The whole “calling out Israel for genocide means you’re antisemitic” line is so worn out and honestly just exhausting.
My parents watch PBS Newshour and are very anti-Israel because of what they’re doing to Palestine. One night, PBS ran a piece about how Israel’s PR was labeling any criticism of Israel’s action as “anti-semitism” and my folks were naturally incensed by this. The very next night, PBS ran a piece about the statistically increasing occurrence of anti-semitism in the world - without any discussion of just the possibility that much of that increase is due to criticisms of Israel being labeled as anti-semitism. My parents, of course, were then incensed about all the anti-semitism.
Israel has spent like 4+ decades trying desperately to associate criticism of israel with antisemitism. And the world has complied, Hell its now a crime punishable by decades in prison just to support Palestine in the UK. Gotta wonder how Churchill hasnt lept out of his grave and started cockslapping motherfuckers.
Netanyahu also used to have a penchant for comparing people who refused to gargle his fucking balls to Hitler, in a blatant attempt to shame people into Israeli compliance. Hasnt done it so much anymore, Probably because descriptions of Hitler and his actions would rub too uncomfortably close to what Netanyahu and Israel are doing now a days.
times are shitty indeed.
I wonder how actual nazis see this kind of shit: do they feel validated and think “haha they were always criminals” or are they pissed because (so far at least) israel can bomb kids and camps and hospitals and schools and food lines over and over and over again, angry that nazis faced consequences for their crimes, eventually?

yup
It only hurt jews those false accusations
The “if you’re criticizing Israel then you are an antisemitic” argument is getting really really old and fucking tired.
I have never in my life had any issues with anyone who is Jewish just because they are Jewish. Nor will I ever. But I have serious issues with the state of Israel committing war crimes on a daily basis and expecting not to be held accountable.
100%, fuck the country of Israel, the people leading the country, and the people hands on murdering civilians. Death to the IDF.
My Jewish friends never bought into it either.

Many Jews are not religious
I dunno, sounds like a fake story to me
Islamists are fundamentalists btw, so exactly the kind of religious zealots you seem to despise
Almost like Jews and Muslims are the same people born 20km apart or something
Meh. That place taught the actual real world. And because of that experience I believe I have been successful with my own life. You can disagree it was real but I lived it.
“they’re showing a country of mostly white people invading and brutalizing a defenseless country of brown people which is clearly about Israel-palestine”
c/selfawarewolves
I can all but guarantee that’s an American writing that comment anyway.
They look pretty much the same in terms of skin tone. It’s not whites vs browns. They all just look Mediterranean, which isn’t that surprising because that’s where they are. Palestinians are a lot lighter than people seem to think.
Unless we’re going with the US definition of race, in which anybody coming from a poor country is non-white. I mean, they used to think the Italians and Irish weren’t white.

Who? Israel’s dominant sociopolitical group are Ashkenazi. They’re white. Pretending it’s Mediterraneans vs Mediterraneans is playing into the Israeli lie that Jewish people are the true native people in Canaan and everyone else is an outside invader. When in reality some Jews are native to the area, just as the Palestinians are. But certainly not the 20th century neocolonial supremacist state of Israel.
… most Israeli Jews are Sephardim, Mizrahi, or mixed. For that matter, Ashkenazi Jews tend to vote for less genocide-happy parties in the Knesset. And on top of that, a significant portion of people in the Levant do not have a particularly different phenotype from Mediterranean Europeans.
This is like when a bunch of people got up in arms over how ‘white’ the king of Jordan was. Like, fuck’s sake, what the fuck is this neo-orientalism?
Uhm, you do realize that French, Spaniards, italians,… are also considered white nowadays and are mediterranian?
Who?
pretty sure they’re talking about the people of the two fictional countries in the movie
They said “Palestinians”
you’re right, i misread the comment
They used to think the Italians and Irish weren’t white.
Blast from the past right there.
Pretty soon even Schindler’s List will be “anti-Semitic” for these people…
attacking a defenseless neighboring people
They’re so close to figuring it out
They know. They like committing genocide. They just don’t want international consequences for it.
Its antisemitic to say its bad to bomb defenseless people…
I see where Trump got his name calling ideas from.
All of “his” ideas.
Sealing wax, wow sick burn…
…if used carelessly.
Oh wow. I didn’t know he was controversial from the start.
Does Nazis not liking something really make it controversial?
If there are a lot of Nazis, then, yes?
Jerry “Sealing Wax” (Siegallack)
holy shit the nazis always had 4chan humor even in the 1930s
They’re mad that they’re identifying with the genocidal, colonizing villains of the story?
I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.
This complaint is such an admission. They can’t point to a single similarly between Israel and the bad guys in the movie except, “nation with technology advanced weaponry being deployed against unarmed civilians,” and they’re not even disputing that that’s an accurate depiction of what’s happening. It’s not like they’re saying, “this movie parallels Hamas propaganda.” They’re saying, “depicting colonial genocide negatively is anti-Israel.”
why the fuck would I ever listen or subscribe to a subreddit know as r/israel
fuck net-nannny-yahoo
“If the shoe fits”… So maybe sit with your thoughts a bit longer to a logical conclusion instead of jumping to social media to dump your little thought vomit.
Wow they really got baited there haha.
