As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.”

Many of these views are well within the American mainstream. A Quinnipac poll from August found that half of American voters believe that Israel is committing a genocide. Thirty-nine percent of Jewish Americans believe Israel is committing a genocide, according to an October Washington Post poll. Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, which produced the report, deemed Thunberg a more dangerous threat than Fuentes, who has said Judaism is incompatible with Western civilization and called for a “total Aryan victory.”

In a separate section about American influencers, the Israeli government report also singles out Ms. Rachel, a YouTuber with nearly 20 million subscribers who makes educational videos for toddlers, as one of the most influential supposed antisemites. Ms. Rachel’s misdeeds include publishing “content dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting alleged harm to civilians and children, and condemning Israeli military actions.” The report also says Ms. Rachel has “promoted fundraising campaigns for emergency aid for children in Gaza and other conflict zones.”

More like her ideas are more a threat to their ethnostate.

Israel is making the reality of a second holocaust possible. One where the world will give an indifferent shrug.

[-] MrSmoothPP@lemmy.zip 44 points 1 month ago

What are you talking about? Israel is already committing a second Holocaust against the Palestinians.

Ironically the language of implying a "holocaust" could only be against Jewish people is basically Zionist coded.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Holocaust as a term is very Jewish specific.

It's actually Greek but was used regularly in English for centuries before WW2. It did obviously gain that connotation after.

Every time they do this, it gives cover to real antisemites to launder their hate. Attacks on Jews worldwide are going up in large part due to exactly this kind of insane hyperbolic rhetoric making the word antisemite lose all meaning, and therefore more difficult to combat.

But that's what they want. Fascist are always allies with other fascists. Attacks on Jews worldwide benefits Israel. It radicalizes Jewish populations.

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

They know that and are actively benefiting from it, antisemitic violence around the world helps drive more jewish people to seek refuge in Israel, provides them with new recruits and a convenient justification for their own violence

Claiming to be better than others and yet, at the same time portray one as a victim is great propaganda fuel. Nothing new here.

This is where younger the saying, "They cry in pain as they strike you."

Zionists are incredibly antisemite. By equating Israel to Judaism, they are linking all the horrible acts that Israel is doing with Jews worldwide that are completely against the violence of Israel.

They are throwing the reputation of Judaism through the mud by forcing any mention of Israel to Judaism.

Strange this pattern keeps repeating for thousands of years.

[-] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 month ago

Israel is a crime masquerading as a country.

[-] Akh@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Oh no, Ms. Rachael is promoting charities giving aid to children in Gaza?!? The horror!

[-] brownsugga@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

These days "Israel says" is shorthand for "the next lie is"

[-] torik@lemmychan.org 10 points 1 month ago

Down with Israel.

[-] Maturin@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

They should get Barbara Streisand to host the award show

[-] meathorse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I would argue that "Get-em-Yahoo" is the leading cause of antisemitism globally right now!

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Makes sense. Fuentes serves the same capitalist masters as Israel. Zionism always was a fascist project (I mean that literally - Israel was created largely thanks to the Nazis and fascist elements of the British/French governments).
