Conflating Israel and its actions with Judaism in general is anti-Semitic.
Sure but there's also a dog whistle aspect. Honestly though as a non-jew but also a non-jew hater it makes lemmy a really unappealing platform when every network I go on just wants to talk about (((the jews))). I know that if you click the link and read the article the word Jewish comes up 143 times and Israel 60 but guys.... I just want to read about Canada or something else unrelated to the middle east.
Right, because the specific context is that Israel is purposefully trying to utilize people's understandable distaste for anti-Semitism to cover for its actions, and how Canadian media outlets are helping that happen. When Israel itself is trying to further the anti-Semitic notion that Jewish people totally unrelated to the state of Israel have any relation or responsibility for that state's actions, it makes sense that Judaism might have to come up in the discussion.
Well I have good news. There are many other posts in this community from just today and yesterday that don't relate to Israel or the Middle East at all. But you read and commented on this one for some reason.
Yeah but Lemmy is so terrible. I think I'll just give up and go back to reddit. Lemmy is cool tech but if you don't want to talk about (((the jews))), there's not enough content and it's a really negative space to visit.
I'm sure your contributions will be missed.
