Literally Israel is just a concentration camp with a UN seat to them

Netenyahu has said that he can ignore the opinion of American Jews bc of the support he gets from the Christian right. He and his Jewish-supremacist allies rely on people who'd see Jesus finish Hitler's work. Well, I guess they split their time between that and insuring Hamas stays in power.

It's almost like reactionary movements are inherently self cannibalizing. Look at the Republican House, they almost came to blows over electing a speaker. The compromise choice has decided it'd be wise to have two government shutdown fights and a frivolous impeachment in an election year. Biden should claim Matt Gates' and MTG's salaries as an donation to his reelection campaign.

And since when are the right wingers not antisemitic?

It's absolutely not, but there has been a lot of antisemitism when speaking about the conflict regardless.

Plenty of ‘em have, but they dislocate their shoulders patting themselves on the back for not getting indoctrinated. Yet another way to soothe the burning self-hatred by pretending to be stronger-willed than others.

The neat thing about fascist morons is that they don’t have any consistency.

They found the ultimate way to deflect antisemitic accusations: they want to deport the Jews to Israel.

No no no, it's antisemitic to oppose apartheid. Duh.

Here's the funny part, semite is absolutely an outdated term. However even within the circles that say it still holds true...Palestinians are Semites.

I don't think there is one beyond the rightwing "education bad" nonsense.

Conservative comedy doesn't exist.

Do we not mock Islam because it’s immune to criticism, or is it just because we know very little about it? Carlin roasted the religion, and its inconsistencies and hypocrises. He could do that because we’re all intimately familiar with it, even atheists. I don’t recall that he advocated bigotry against individual Christians.

Could one do a stand-up routine about “Hanafis be like this, while Sanafi’is be like that”? Probably. Nobody’d understand it, though. Personally, most of the criticism of Islam I’ve heard is more like, “Muslims are all murderers because the Qu’ran says to kill non-believers, so let’s ban them.” On the other hand, I have heard some criticism of the way that mosques here still have separate, lesser entrances for women, and that didn’t get anybody’s employment threatened.

the term islamophobia has been (very dishonestly) cross-linked to both the people _and the religion

The same can be said for Judaism and anti-semitism yet people criticize Jews and Judaism all the time. I really don't think that's the reason.

As the person below you points out, the majority of the time someone criticizes Islam they're painting with a very broad brush, typically in a bigoted way talking about something they clearly don't understand. If you pick specifics that actually make sense like that person's example of entrances for women being shitty, then that's fine.

As with anything it's about how you approach the subject. Bill Maher criticizes Islam all the damn time and he hasn't been cancelled yet, in fact his show has been running for 20 years. The idea that you can't criticize Islam is bunk.

The fuck you talking about? This is about Israel vs Hamas. We're not here just dunking on religion. Go find an atheist board.

It is totally unfunny. There's no setup, just a cheap shot riding a right wing culture war talking point.
