Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been labeled “antisemite of the Week” by the Jewish watchdog group StopAntisemitism following her arrest at an anti-Israel rally. The group criticized Thunberg for aligning with protesters who oppose Israel, accusing her of turning her activism into a platform for anti-Semitism, the New York Post reported.
“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.
Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
Fuck off with that kind of language. Israel does not represent Jews and its actions are all too human. Inhumane, for sure, but humans can be quite sadistic and cruel when enthralled by fascist ideology.
But Jews around the world reject Israel’s actions. That’s what history will remember.
I do worry that this might have a “cried wolf” effect for victims of actual antisemitism.
That serves Zionism. Making other countries less safe for Jews means they’re more likely to flee to Israel. It’s a feedback loop.
many such cases of Mossad doing that via false flag attacks too

History will remember the people who stood up against this genocide. It always does.
But Jews around the world reject Israel’s actions. That’s what history will remember.
It’s nice to hear, but I gotta say- it’s either not loud enough or it really isn’t being covered
It’s not being covered.
Jewish Voice For Peace and IfNotNow are two Jewish lead orgs that come to mind. There are many Jews saying “not in our name” and they’re ignored because it contradicts the narrative.
Yes mate our ears are ringing with condemnation from the Jewish diaspora, disowning this hit piece on a vulnerable young woman.
Just a small correction: this is not just plain Fascism, it’s ethno-Fascism (like the Nazis), a far more violent and derranged variant than traditional Fascism because it’s anchored on Ethnicity, feelings of Ethnic Superiority and the ultra racist casting of entire other ethnicities as sub-human (i.e übermenschen vs untermenschen or, as the Israeli leadership calls them, “human animals”) whilst the traditional kind (such as Mussolini’s) is anchored on Nationalism.
Traditional Fascism being based “merely” on Nationalism does have the capacity to inspire their people to such massive levels of cold sociopathic violence against entire groups of people as ethno-Fascism does.
Or, more in general, extreme racists are far more irrationally violent than mere thieves.
I do not believe fascism can function without ethnic hatred. Nationalism within imperialist countries always takes on a racial character, and it has to, because otherwise cross racial solidarity destabilizes the oppressive apparatus.
I’m Portuguese a country which had a Fascist dictatorship until 74.
I was very young at the time and don’t remember anything of the dictatorship directly but did heard the stories and saw what came out of it.
The country was definitely colonialist and the people and natural resources of the “colonies” (which were all in Africa) were definitely being exploited but there was no messaging of racial superiority and no racist hate even when the people over there started rebelling and there was war. In fact so little was the racist indoctrination that immediately after the Revolution all “colonies” were left to gain their independence as nations and all of them became friendly nations with democratic Portugal within a few years.
From all I’ve seen the focus of the Fascist propaganda was all about the Greatness Of Portugal (all the while it was a shithole) especially old “greatness” like the various achievements of the Portuguese during the time of the Maritime Discoveries in the 15th and 16th centuries.
That shit is nowhere near what Nazis and Zionists do and even during the wars of liberation of Portuguese colonies there was never any mass targeting of civilians over there, much less a systematic massacre and a long list of babies murdered by the Portuguese Military.
As soon as racial supremacy and racist hate gets into the picture, even in war you go from an atrocity here and there generally done remotely (as you see Russia do in Ukraine) to systematic massacres with snipers seeing children through their scopes and choosing to shoot them in their heads (as you see Israel do in Palestine) - traditional Fascism has Sociopaths leading the military, ethno-Fascism has the entire military all the way down to privates acting as Sociopaths.
