Antisemitism will truly be defeated when Jews can live anywhere in the world without fear of persecution, not when they've carved out their own ethnostate.
Unfortunately, I feel like these times call for explicit clarification in what should be obvious.
"...when Jews can live anywhere in the world without fear of persecution.. for being Jewish" (but like everyone else can be held accountable as individuals for crimes including war crimes; that being Jewish doesn't turn prosecution into persecution)
The fact that this needs clarification is evidence that we do not deserve a future as a species.
JFC are we fucking idiots that this needs to be spelled the fuck out.
Valid distinction thanks to Israel.
This is so true. I remember hearing about the two Israeli officials who were shot and I was stuck thinking: " was this motivated out of antisemitism and he just happened to hit legitimate targets instead of some innocent folks, or was the guy actually acting out of rage and sadness for what he's seen in Gaza?". Nowadays it seems like you can't even tell immediately - like you've gotta wait for more info. It was a relief to find out that everyone who knew the shooter agreed that he was not antisemitic, and chose to platform justice for Gaza when asked about the shooter.
Kind of reminds me of the brainwashing the media instituted about how covid was somehow a China thing and shortly after, people were attacking Asians because somehow or rather if you're Asian, suddenly covid was all your fault. It was also just another excuse for racists to act out. Humans really are just that dumb.
Third truth, it’s not just Israeli leaders who are promoting the violence against Palestine, and many of those that do use their Judaism as a shield against criticism.
People using the term anti semitic often fail to realize that the semitic people and culture not only contains Jews, but also levantine Arabs.
however, the name Semitic is a nazi invention that was originally directed towards Jews. part of their scientific racism.
it's kind of meaningless.
like Dwight claiming an Indian coworkers is Caucasian because he claims her people came from the Caucasus.
but yhea, if we step out of semantics, fuck Israel for this genocide and using the Jewish diaspora as shields.
More importantly, it's used inappropriately when talking about violence towards/hatred of the vaaaaaaaast majority of Israelis because they're Europeans...
I hate that these cunts are starving children supposedly in my name. Fucking diabolical.
What about all the Jewish people in Israel and around the world actively contributing to, relishing in, and celebrating what's happening? Can we talk about them?
hi spujb did u know the jews invented hash browns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latke
They also created the bagel, no? Love me a plain bagel as the buns if a breakfast sandwich. God. Now I'm hungry.
yes! shoutout jewish ppl
Went to the mall today and one store, a toy store I think, had a big Israel flag hanging by the entrance - like I get that you have an identity at stake here but none of us want to walk under that particular flag to spend our money right now, and you could see that reflected. And that's not anti-semitism, it's just voting with our feet.
Next, it'd be nice to get our tax dollars to do the same thing...
