This is one of the 59 Afrikaners personally welcomed at Dulles airport by the deputy secretary of State and in what Marco Rubio called a "tremendous accomplishment". That's the same Marco Rubio who personally cancelled visas of darker skinned people who signed Gaza protest letters.

Racism is the goal, protecting jews is the excuse.

You can be an anti semite, you just can't criticise Israel.

[-] Embargo@lemm.ee 54 points 2 weeks ago

This statement is way too fucking true. My wife was verbally abused by a right-winger for representing the Australian Greens a few weeks ago, being labelled an "anti-Semite". For anyone that is curious... The greens are outwardly condemning Israel and are not in the slightest anti-Semitic.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 35 points 2 weeks ago

We all know criticism of Israel is the only real antisemitism in the world.

It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.

Fash don't care about Jewish people, they care about the state of Israel.

[-] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 4 points 2 weeks ago

The average Republican doesn't like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn't. Crazy world.

Israel has big “go back to where you came from” energy

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago

Oh good, we got their Nazis.

But what did I expect white Afrikaners to be.

[-] chosensilence@pawb.social 38 points 2 weeks ago

the South African fascist foot soldiers masquerading as refugees makes such a transparent statement from the Trump administration that it is blinding. people claiming there are no racial motivators are fucking delusional or purposely lying at this point. it's one of the two and nothing else.

honestly, that's implied with how i described the type of South Africans being favored lol but yes.

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Just reasserting so anyone scoffing at your comment can remember that these people are specifically WHITE South Africans

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Aren't afrikaaners white by definition?

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Are they? I'm not intimately familiar with afrikaaners I suppose. Thanks for the input

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

I've about had it. If one more shitty, awful thing happens, I'm going to really start hoping that somebody leads the revolution for me.

“It's a genocide that's taking place," [Trump] said at the White House [in reference to white South Africans]

I think I might have an aneurysm

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

tweeted Jews are ‘dangerous and untrustworthy’

"That sounds like something Hamas would say", would be the accusation. Hasn't that been enough to get a number of immigrant students here in the USA locked up for months?

"What to Know: Immigration Authorities Detain Tufts Student: Doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained leaving her home in Massachusetts and moved to a holding facility in Louisiana after being accused by ICE of supporting Hamas. Her visa has been revoked."

So I expect the trump administration will be revoking that Afrikaner's visa immediately for supporting Hamas, right? /s

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

They are going to fit right in with the Nazis that live here.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's the intention. Get those white Nazi numbers up.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Very fine people /s

[-] Heikki@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

At least they are not trans... that would be the worst

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Do any of these “refugees” have musk as a last name?

[-] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

"...but I'm sure some are good people."

[-] Wazowski@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is his name Elon?

This song was made decades ago and thanks to the hard work of many diligent Afrikaans it remains evergreen.
