When antisemitism takes root, it is common for many to be in denial of antisemitism.

Also common to create a subset of Jews that it’s acceptable to hate to so that those that wouldn’t normally engage in it to be more tolerant of it. In the past it was made acceptable (by you know who!) to hate “Cosmopolitan Jews” so people would tend to look the other way on antisemitism.

Today it has been made to be acceptable to hate “Zionist Jews.” And now people that hate “Zionist Jews” are denying that antisemitism exists.

We’ve seen a marked increase in attacks on synagogues and Jewish owned businesses.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it certainly does rhyme.

It never hurts to take some time to do some introspection on the feelings you have towards another ethnic and/or religious group.

Even if you don’t care for Jews at all and only care about Palestinians, consider how unlikely a movement will be if it’s considered to be antisemitic. Denying antisemitism instead of denouncing it isn’t really helping anyone.

Real antisemitism obviously exists, but most of what Israel is currently calling “antisemitism” is just “criticism of the current government of the nation of Israel”.

Are Israeli athletes government officials now? Being against Israeli athletes is not the same thing as being against the actions of the Israeli government.

What is this guy trying to accomplish by saying they aren’t welcome in France? They are there and he’s saying “they aren’t welcome here.” What is his goal?

Are you aware of what happened in the 1972 Munich Olympics?

Dude is edging on stochastic terrorism, but sure, he’s the “real victim” because someone criticizes his remarks.

Can leftists even hear themselves when they talk about Jews? Completely indistinguishable from certain other political groups. Probably how “National Socialism” became a thing. An unholy alliance formed over a common hatred.

Near enough, yes. They are representatives of the government.

Now you’re nearing schizoid levels of paranoia. Take your meds, bro

Can people defending genocide hear how they sound as they defend murdering mostly children in the most gruesome of ways?

That’s what you are doing.

Dude is defending an active ongoing genocide, but sure, he’s the real victim because the government he supports (that actively tries to conflate nationality / race / and religion) is murdering children in the hundreds of thousands.

Ups!

Zionism is far right. It’s Nazis again but changing “Aryans” to “Jews”. That’s it. There the “lebensraum” but this time is Middle East and not Central Europe. There’s a group seen as “untermenschen” but instead of Jews now it’s Palestinians. There’s a personality cult. And they are following the propaganda points from Goebbels to the T.

And NO, it’s not “the Jews”. It’s only a part. Just like MAGA is not all US citizens.
