    This is getting uncomfortably close to antisemitism. The image not so much but with that title, yeah

      A lot of people are just straight up antisemitic now. It’s one thing to criticize war, it’s another thing to hold Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of a few and I’m seeing that all the time now.

      Ironically and unsurprisingly you’ll see the same people (in the US) get buttmad when Americans are collectively held responsible for the actions of trump

        Jewish things are not necessarily pro Israel, or what Israel is currently doing. I don’t want to help encourage the same assholes that are in all the racist right wing bullshit.

          Well, thanks for the comment back.

          I think in this case I’m inclined to disagree (I’m understanding of the difference between a Jewish person and the Israeli gov - also think it’s insanely stupid we have to put the disclaimer, but that’s the world the Israeli gov made for us). Given current events and the fact this isn’t deriding a Jewish person or tradition I’d say we’re good.

          But that’s just my opinion and it’s a shitpost anyway.
