When any criticism of the Israeli government or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people is "antisemitic", you've damaged and weakened the very meaning of the word "antisemitism" and the moral authority of those who wield it.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago

Thankfully, there's literally no way that can backfire, which is a real relief.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

I've heard some people say some straight-up antisemitic things recently, and, for the first time in my life, I've been scared to speak up against it. Because this country successfully destroyed the meaning of antisemitism to the point that a Nazi could easily stomp my Jewish ass without facing real heat concerning hate crimes because they support Israel or whatever.

My community should have really considered the repercussions of agreeing with a Nazi back when they had a chance. Instead, when I'd point out that being on the same page as Nazis usually implies you're on the wrong side, they responded that maybe it's time to admit that Hitler might have had some good ideas.

You don't have to have seen Lost Boys to know that you shouldn't invite a vampire into your home. Same goes for Nazis.

i have a question to ponder. Why is the term 'antisemitism' used so much more often than 'antijudaism'

I can’t even tell what that word means anymore.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

It means "doesn't smile enthusiastically enough while licking Netanyahu's taint".

Sounds like a threat to America and American values.

He is anti-American.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

I thought fueling Israel's crimes was an American value?

[-] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Does America have values beyond imperialism when it comes to Israel?

[-] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 56 points 3 months ago

Sounds like a good way to get people who have no problem with Israel to start having a problem with Israel.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

If you don’t have a problem with Israel you’re not paying attention

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

That's the entire point of what theyre saying. Most people aren't paying attention. But do something like this and they will start to.

Buddy, I don't want people to think Jews control the media, but it sure seems like you do

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

It’s not “Jews” it’s a fundamentalist ethnostate that has occupied our government. Implying it’s “Jews” just plays into their victim defense. Not trying to get on you just trying to spread awareness about changing our language so it’s harder for Israel to claim victim hood for the consequences of their own actions.

I know that, but this guy doesn't want me to, which is why it really seems like he wants people to hate Jews

Israel single-handedly making all the antisemitic conspiracy theories start seeming more and more true.

Israeli Billionaire

Nope, not surprised.

Yeah, I felt like Marcus Cicero is a jewish-sounding name

Capitalism is the heir of feudalism and always the prelude to fascism, a system of control and oppression, never a political system. Billionairs and politicians need to be controlled, not the other way arround.

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago

More billionaires should kill themselves.

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

Hey now. They're billionaires. Don't ask them to do work like the rest of us; people should be doing things for them.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 26 points 3 months ago

And remember his definition of anti-Semitism includes accurately reporting the activities of Israelis in Gaza.

So...the Jews want to control the media...? Man, they're really trying to live up to some of those old stereotypes.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

Not Jews but Zionists specifically, including Christian Zionists. Zionists have had siginficant control over US media for a very long time but when you state the obvious people call it the antisemitic trope because they have been conditioned to do so. They were pretty open about why they bought TikTok

At this point it's pretty clear America will support Israel regardless of what we say or do. Does free speech even matter anymore?

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

They’ve occupied our government only a few representatives don’t accept bribes from them. Look up your representatives it’s shocking https://www.trackaipac.com/

[-] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

I got a warning on reddit a couple days ago for suggesting Deni Avdija (NBA player) is getting a superstar whistle this season because he is Israeli.

They removed my comment and threatened me with a ban for promoting violence when all I said was "It's because he's Israeli." In response to the OPs question.

I was mostly joking, but it kinda seems like they are already doing what this guy is saying they should do.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Remember if you must reddit, lurk, any voting, commenting you do over there is transferring value from you to reddit.

The First Amendment is already gone. Have you seen what happens to people who criticize the regime? The US is cooked, fam.

I had a meme for this but that will be redacted for convenience.

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 months ago

Only antisemitism? Not other forms of racism?

I bet the only form of "antisemitism" this is about, is criticism of genocide.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

What if we end the Israeli occupation of the American government instead?

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 10 points 3 months ago

Big “Nation’s Stray Dogs Call For Increased Wino Vomit Production” energy there

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 9 points 3 months ago

Not sure if they want people to see antisemitism as a virtue some day but they clearly work for it very hard.

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

I think we need to suspend free speech rights for all Kramers until we figure out what's going on

I don't care if it's antisemitic to say so, but I will never take someone named "Schlomo Kramer" seriously.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Shlomo Kramer can suck my hairy balls with his anti semitism bullshit
