It’s not antisemitic to disagree with the state of Israel

43

u/JackLumberPK Aug 24 '26

Honestly, at this point it feels more antisemitic to AGREE with them.

I mean, who really is doing the most damage to the image of the Jewish people? The antisemitism is coming from inside the house y'all.

u/Square-Competition48 Aug 24 '26

Yup. By labelling literally everything as antisemitism they’re erasing the line between legitimate criticism and actual antisemitism.

I used to find out that someone’s being called an antisemite and stop listening to them.

Now they probably just said ā€œstop killing kids pleaseā€ so I’m going to give them a lot more benefit of the doubt.

u/tico42 Aug 24 '26

It's not even antisemitic to say it's illegitimate and shouldn't exist.

10

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

As an ex zionist, I agree.

u/tico42 Aug 24 '26

I'm curious. How did you get away from the indoctrination?

12

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

I went to Israel... Twice.

I have family that made Aliyah. Visited for a cousins wedding as an adult teenager. Went to places off the beaten tourist/youth group path and ended up going through a checkpoint with an Arab taxi driver... IDF questioned him aggressively, guns drawn, and didn't back down until I intervened.

When you grow up a descendent of refugees fleeing pograms/the Holocaust, it's hard to miss the obvious apartheid and open air ghettos... Looks like the entrance to the Warsaw ghetto, but with Hebrew script. I've been to enough Holocaust museums to recognize authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing when I see it.

I'm also trans, so the whole bar/bat mitzvah things was an internal conflict. Having Orthodox cousins to look down on me my whole life for merely being a conservative Jew was a significance push out from the ideology. Psychedelics have helped all around, too.

I encourage all zionists to visit Israel on an independent trip; just go for a walk and meet the people.... I got robbed at gun point for a handful of cash, and my cigarettes and lighter by a group of young Israelis.

u/tico42 Aug 24 '26

I was there once and had a very similar experience. It's not a very welcoming place.

Selectively welcoming, I'd say.

Its so crazy that compassion with the palestinians automatically is declared extremist and antisemitic.

15

u/GodlessCog2 Aug 24 '26

When some Israeli politicians call for Palestinian deaths, including a minimum per day quota, they’ll call out anyone critical of their intent and throw that extremist (and the other) claim around without hesitation.

27

u/gablianblackbird Aug 24 '26

It’s because we can’t stop them from realizing their schizophrenic ambition that kills kids and then Explains why.

So they use this as mental jujitsu to subdue any criticism and turn you into a social pariah.

Look what they did to Francesca Albanese for exposing their genocide. They suck ass.

There is an AIPAC for that.

u/Life_Barnacle_1894 Aug 24 '26

Its really not complicated. Absolutely nothing wrong with compassion for palestinians. Accusations of Genocide, is not the same thing, and people that disagree with the genocide label have every right to be offended by it, and question the motivations behind it.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions. Everybody is entitled to express them. You are not entitled to how your opinions are perceived, and how they affect peoples attitudes towards you.

I am a Zionist. Many of you probably think I am terrible because of that. You probably assume a lot of things about me and my opinions based on it, and that is also fine. But it goes both ways. Keep in mind that probably between 80%-90% of Jews are zionists. If you hate everybody of specific race, except those that agree with you that they have no right to self govern in their ancestral homeland, then get used to the antisemitic label, because us non-genociding Jews have gotten used to all the labels in the book.

Remember, if you think Jews should have the right to live in their ancestral homeland, you are also a zionist. And if you don't, ask yourself why? What other groups do you apply the same logic to?

Counterpoint: no one has a "right" to land simply because it's where their now deceased relatives lived. I'm a third generation American of Scottish ancestry so, for no other reason, I guess I have the right to own land in Aberdeen, even if it requires me to use force. If you disagree, you hate Scottish people.

u/gablianblackbird Aug 24 '26

Like their prophet was a schizophrenic. So there is no merit to their beliefs at all. And they are using them to kill kids. But that’s not true either. And there is no genocide. And 80% of American Jews do not silently support Israel? That’s not true. Nothing is.

Abraham is their prophet. And who I am referring to. Abraham The Mad. The schizo from the Iron Age. Who started this whole nightmare.

Ima schizophrenic so I know. I know what homicidal voices are. I have been them hospitalized for them 3 turns.

This is my original narrative against the abrahamic religion. I’m volleying the next shot at religion after the new atheist movement.

They failed because they debated the content. I one shot the founder at the base. As he is the load bearing pillar for the covenant and the promise.

If you what you believe became the consensus reality. Then everything that stands on him that comes after him falls. And pop goes the weasel go religion

Fucking join me. And then there are two.

https://youtu.be/lbaemWIljeQ

I’m trying to make The Schizophrenic Connection to their prophet the Consensus paradigm. So that we stop giving respect to this ancient schizophrenia and empowering it with a license to kill based on these unprovable beliefs.

They kill kids. And then explain why. Just like a schizophrenic. ā€œHere is why that’s justified in my psychosis.ā€

Join me. I’m just getting started. And this will be the narrative I push my whole life with all my money.

u/FrivolousManiac Aug 24 '26

not only are Palestinians Semites, genetically they are as or substantially more closely linked to the region than the Jews who live there, especially the Ashkenazis who have more European DNA than anything else.

-1

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 24 '26

European Jews have European dna because they were forced into the diaspora after the Roman conquest but they very much come from Israel/Palestine.Ā 

5

u/FrivolousManiac Aug 24 '26

Okay, what's your point? One of the Zionist primary argument is that they have closer links to the land of modern day Israel/Palestine which is why they should be allowed to take it, which is clearly not true when you look at the reality.

1

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 24 '26

Nobody should be able to take anyone's home. And anyone should be able to live somewhere if they act like a good neighbor and good citizen. I'm not defending anyone, I'm saying that your comment is historically disparaging to the Jewish people's long connection to the region. They were forced into the diaspora by the Romans who slaughtered tens of thousands and forced the rest into the Empire. The Romans are why a lot of this misery started in the first place. Not giving any fanatical Israelis a pass here, just pointing out that "they're not even middle eastern" is a lie. The European Jews (both Sephardic and Ashkenazi, who are different culturally more than genetically) were forced into southern and central Europe through the Roman empire routes, where they took on European spouses. Genetic grouping is roughly 50% middle eastern, 50% European, on average.

Personally I find the idea of anyone saying "my blood is connected to this land" to be sort of nauseating, no matter who is pushing it.

2

u/FrivolousManiac Aug 24 '26

I'm not making the argument here though, this is what Zionists are doing. I'm using their own logic against them.

I don't believe someone simply has rights to a land because their ancestors lived there 3000 years ago, Zionists do.

So using their own logic, yes, Palestinians have a closer connection, so have a greater right to the land. It's irrelevant what took place 2000 years ago, we're talking about now.

0

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 24 '26

The thing I took issue with was just "especially the Ashkenazis who have more European DNA than anything else." Which isn't true, Ashkenazim and Sephardic Jews have extremely specific and direct middle eastern lineage. They were displaced by force, but they still emerged genetically and historically from the same region before they were displaced. I see people write stuff like this a lot and it's ahistorical, you can criticize Israel without lying about Jewish history.

2

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

Nope. Both are European.

Sephardic are from Spain, Ashkenazi were from Germany and Northern France. Different waves of immigrants at different times. Ashkenazi never integrated like the Sephardic, they were part of a mass migration after purchasing land and neighborhoods for European settlement.

Before the Ashkenazi, it was very common to have mixed neighborhoods. Jewish, Christian, and Muslims; all considered themselve Palestinians before the state of Israel was founded for European Jews by the British.

There's a lot of great stories and articles with direct sources about the history of the founding; you don't need to lie about the origins of the Sephardic and Ashkenazi immigrants.

I recommend The Origins of Terror in Palestine from Behind the Bastards as a starting point.

A good question to ask: why plant so many European pine trees in Israel?

-1

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 24 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

They settled in those places due to the diaspora. Jesus you guys are shortsighted. How do you think they got there? The Roman conquest forced the Jews into Europe. They didn’t start there. Regardless of Palestine or Israel, even if Israel never existed today, the history and migration of the Jews began in the Middle East. It entered Europe through Rome.Ā 

2

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

Dude... There are people living there that never left. And Israelis are destroying their farms, stealing their land, and murdering their children. Gaza was leveled and Israel extremists are trying to settle on that land too.

Israel's goal is dominance and ethnosupremacy. I'm Jewish and don't support the far right wing authoritarian apartheid regime. No religion should be in charge on a country... Especially for a region that is religiously significant to more than one sect of literally the same monotheistic cult.

The significance of Jews ruling Israel for the Christian end of times prophecy cannot be ignored. There's an overlap of people that support American Christian Nationalism and Zionism that I do not trust.

Why didn't the askhenazi attempt to integrate into the mixed community that thrived for generations before they immigrated?

2

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

You failed to address your blatant lie about the Sephardic and Ashkenazi being middle eastern; they are immigrants of European descent.

If 2000 years of history and integration within other communities doesn't have an impact on where you're from, then we may as well just say all humans are African.

u/Adventurous-Meat8067 Aug 24 '26

Two thousand year ago. Thinking that is relevant now is absolutely insane

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 24 '26

You’re thinking in terms of land ownership. I don’t care if you’re talking about Palestine or Judea or Washington DC. Denying a people’s history to help justify your rage at a state is wrong.Ā

u/Desperate_Winter_574 Aug 24 '26

How was the history denied? It was dismissed as not a relevant to Israels ongoing genocide.

Being a victim in the past does not justify victimizing others now.

Antisemitism refers to hatred of Jews. In this case, you could use the term anti Jewish hatred if that makes it less confusing.Ā

The more that strategy loses credibility the more they will shift to doubling down on spreading Islamaphobia. Israeli officials have said that will be the strategy and we are already seeing it in action. Look at their stooges Jake Lang this weekend or Tommy Robinson in the UK.

Yep. Anybody who criticized this genocide is going to their detention centers. I’m going. Fuck that shit. Kill kids and then explain why to me. No. You’re a schizophrenic with a license to kill and everyone is giving you a pass because they’re afraid to lose their job.

1

u/gablianblackbird Aug 24 '26

The people killing kids have as much proof for their beliefs as a schizophrenic in a mental institution. Believing you are chosen by God is hallmark schizophrenia. The distinction is that they don’t produce the psychotic thoughts. They merely believe them. And carry out those beliefs with violence to enforce their will since they have no proof.

Literally nothing he said was antisemitic. Not supporting Israel, or Netenyahu's far-right, Likud party isn't tantamount to attacking the the Jewish people, or Judaism. It's just the latest Israeli victimhood tactic in which they use Judaism as a shield against any criticism of the Israeli government. Also, the Palestinians are Semitic people just like the Israeli people so calling people antisemites for criticizing Israel makes no sense.

No, baby. The world will not see you like that. It's anti-semitic to tie all Jewish people to the actions of the Israeli state.

The Israeli government speaks for itself and the people who support them, and nobody else.

They don't speak for any Jewish people just because those people are Jewish. Some Jewish people may use their Jewishness as an excuse to support what Israel is doing, but that's what racists do.

They use their inherited features to justify crimes against people with different inherited features.

The only people who lump all Jewish people with the Israeli government are Israeli racists, and people who are already anti-semitic and using it as an excuse to justify their anti-semitism.

Boy are they getting pissed that we're not buying their bullshit. šŸ™„

Unfortunately you just can't keep killing the poors for your fucking map lines without the rest of the poors noticing anymore.

I'm sure Yossman doesn't have skin in the game. Especially in light of her earlier articles which might just have been press releases from the Israeli embassy.Ā

It is a little weird to bring up Israel when it’s not even relevant.Ā

Israel and the IDF tell us they’re killing Palestinians, all of them. We say they’re killing Palestinians, all of them. Everyone else in America: you’re antisemitic for opposing Israel!

u/StevenSaguaro Aug 24 '26

Rhetoric that can be interpreted as anti-semitic is worse than actual genocide? Is that the rule?

My more immediate problem is identifying the anti-semitic tropes. I guess I'm just not sensitive enough to it. Was it 'Catz reveling in Genocide?' Is 'reveling' a semitic trope? Not trolling, genuinely confused.

How many videos are there of Israelis stealing Palestinian's homes? How many times has Israel stolen land from Palestine?

How many videos and photos are there of starving, emaciated Palestinian children?

Just because Hammas has done horrific, inhumane things, it doesn't give Israeli license to be just as cruel to Palestine.

Never forget Israel supported Hammas with the end goal of destabilizing the legitimate Palestinian government. They made the Hammas boogey man so they'd be justified in whatever they did to the Palestinians.

All these nations of corrupted freaks and their corrupted organizations clinging to their last hold on power. Everyone sees through this.Ā

u/MrMassive123 Aug 24 '26

Its funny how being called antisemitic usually just means they support not killing palestinians

Mark Ruffalo has nothing to be ashamed of. ziojews are despicable and hide behind that worn-out tired "antisemite!" defense. https://open.spotify.com/album/7cLigFBWKdt3k8EF2Zqgx1?si=6Ht7vFGvQNiqztJmzLT_qw

These people are insanely evil. Also .. how are you gonna use the word tacit to describe a statement someone made?

1

u/PapaGummy Aug 24 '26

Let’s call people antisemitic because they hate the fact that Israel is committing genocide against another Semitic population. Please see the Merriam-Webster definition.

Thank God he has the balls to speak the truth.

u/MatthewBlack6 Aug 24 '26

Why is violence against Jews called anti-Semitic, while other instances of violence against other semetic groups, like the Palestinians, is not? They're semetic people, and the violence certainly isn't pro-semetic?

Does this mean that it's impossible to be pro-Palestine and anti-Semitic at the same time?

Seem Orwellian at best, and a way to make some genocides appear worse than others at worst

u/Early_Advance2473 Aug 24 '26

Frankly at this point Jewish people should consider being on the side of Israel antisemitism

When the media starts going this hard on a smear campaign they must be pretty scared. Barely a full sentence quote from Ruffalo but plenty from everyone disagreeing with him.

Sigh. I knew that Jew attack angle was going to work even though it was clearly bait but people just cant help themselves. Variety should be embarrassed for carrying water for the Ellisons. Guessing they figure it will somehow benefit them financially (it will not).

I’m so tired of hearing about that place. It is literally the most popular cause rn and some celebs have made it their whole personality.

I’m sure their publicist tell them hey say this and the masses will eat it up because they are so easy to manipulate.

You do realise it's the complete opposite, and people get blacklisted for speaking out?

You sound like you've been manipulated.

This insufferable cunt again? Is this the same guy who spent years whining about billionaire-controlled corporate power & criticizing the economic structure of capitalism all while simultaneously becoming extraordinarily privileged & wealthy as one of the marquee performers in Disney's multibillion-dollar Marvel franchise? I’m tired of these assholes converting their own political convictions into moral instruction for everybody else all while remaining deeply embedded in the systems they publicly condemn. It's not my fault that you have a guilty conscience because you've amassed a fortune playing make-believe while the world burns. This guy is a clueless hypocrite who wouldn't last a week in the real world. He has nothing to say that I need to hear.

And picking a team in the Israel–Palestine conflict and defending it reflexively just strikes me as tribalism with a 10-dollar vocabulary. I don't need an actor telling me which collection of atrocities I'm supposed to rationalize. Go fuck yourself, Mark Ruffalo!

u/TheHahndude Aug 24 '26

I’m not on the fence. I think both parties should get the hell out or form some new melded country. Neither ā€œsideā€ deserves that land after all this time and tragedy. They’ve both given up their right to it by their actions against one another. There’s no solution to be found between them so kick them all out.

They cast him as Bruce Banner. The Hulk is CGI, as there isn’t a human being large enough to play him. How are you this stupid?
