  • In areas like the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, antisemitic incidents have increased several hundred percent compared to the same period last year.

It’s interesting how often people who oppose the existence of Israel (not to be confused with being rightfuly critical of its actions) are the first too make us feel unwelcome and tell Jew who facing antisemitism outside of Israel, that we just need to deal with it (and even expect it, acording to you), and if we don’t like it, we should just leave… But where is it we should be going…?
It’s almost as if what you really want is for Jews to just not exist.

It’s as if antizionism is like antisemitism 🤔

Oh wait, they’re literally the same. Most “antizionists” I’ve known and also seen online are covert antisemites.

I do think there can be legitimate criticism of Israel and zionism that is not antisemitic (like accepting that Jews deserve a safe place to live on our ancestral land, but also that ethno-states are a bad thing), but I do agree that, especially online almost all anti-zionism comes from an antisemitic place, or at least an ignorant one.

That person defined anti-semitism such that significant fraction of Jew are anti-semites by that definition.

Fascists commonly claim the entire nation equals “their brand of fascism” in order to imply that any who do not support their brand of fascism are traitors. Zionists went a step further and claim an entire religion equals “their brand of fascism” in order to imply that any who do not support their brand of fascism are racist against the whole religion.

Theirs is the playbook of Fascism, with a few situation-specific adjustment.

They are happy to no longer be any “covert” about it.

That’s the whole point of inventing the “antizionist” term, it makes them feel less bad about themselves because they can look in the mirror and lie to themselves by saying “I’m not a Nazi, I’m just against a state”. It’s like how anti-abortionists prefer to call themselves “pro-life”, it’s less negative.

Nope one is about a terroristic government who kills children and journalists all willy nilly, the other is a religion/race, I’ve really understood how Jewish is a race but that is neither here nor there.

I hate the Israeli government but I can’t think of a single jewish person i have met that i don’t like.

Good food and friendly people from what I can tell.

And yet the israelis keep expanding into the west bank.

How about they just stay in Israel and quit expanding into other peoples countries?

That’s fine, so how about people say that, instead of shit like “from the river to the sea”?

People making the point you just did are clearly not the one’s I’m talking about, and pretending like no one thinks and says out loud that Jews have no place in the region is basically gaslighting.

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
