Political Memes

Repeat after me, antizionism is not antisemitism

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.

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.

Another truth that must be addressed is that most Jewish people either actively or passively support the genocide of Palestinians. Therefore we need people like me within Judaism to call it out and people outside of Judaism to agree it's a problem.

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.

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...

Can we add a 3rd truth that hamas is a death cult that has no place in today’s world. I like all 3 things equally

Those are both true. Respond to that lie by criticizing the Israeli leaders who are propagating it.

There are more Jews outside of Israel than within. My family emigrated from Poland to the US to flee persecution by the Bolsheviks, prior to the founding of the state of Israel. I’ve protested with JVP against the Palestinian genocide in Grand Central. My story is not unique.

I don't advocate adventurism, but important to note that violence against jews is different than violence against Israeli state actors.

Just in case this meme is referencing the recent shooting of two Israeli Embassy workers. Again, I don't advocate adventurism, but it's important to recognize a distinction between violence directed at an ethnic group and violence directed at government officials.

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.

I'm so tired of being trapped in the middle of this psychotic Jewish psychodrama. Can we just agree to stop killing, starving, orphaning and mutilating kids?

I hate that these cunts are starving children supposedly in my name. Fucking diabolical.

All the "buts" in this thread are reflective of why these Israeli government arguments work.
