The backlash against Israel is starting to show across sports and culture

i feel so awful for antizionist jews who are facing a rising tide of shit like "you know jews, always doing genocide"

israel is fueling antisemitism and calling anyone who resists it antisemites. this genocide has almost nothing to do with judaism and jewish identity and everything to do with colonialism and european identity.

And jews that do speak out against the genocide get pummeled by Israel and they shut up after that, making the overall sentiment against jews even worse.
- Yep. Israel is holding aloft the very real rise in antisemitic discourse taking place around the world to convince members of the Jewish diaspora that soon Israel will be the only safe sanctuary left, and that it's time to start being cool with their horrible history.
I haven't seen almost anyone saying "you know Jews, always doing genocide".
It's pretty consistently "you know Israel, always doing genocide".
- lucky you. it's a little different for me being amongst those antizionist jews i was mentioning. i run into that shit at least once a week
- Even if you don't think it's happening already though, obviously it's going to head that way. That's just human nature.

israel is fueling antisemitism and calling anyone who resists it antisemites
One of the big effects of this is that it really waters down the term antisemite. If someone gets called an antisemite for saying Israel is committing a genocide, then an actual bona-fide antisemite gets antisemitic, the former person will be biased towards believing the label is unjustified on them as well
- i've also seen some people come to hate all jews because israel's rhetoric has led them to the conclusion that antisemitism must be a positive thing. it's such a fuckin' nightmare
Israel is basically Satan shaped into a state, but let's not forget that they could've never done what they've done throughout the years without the complete support from their Western peers back home. In this case, the West's actual hatred of the Jews is getting mixed with the desire for accountability from the 3 righteous folks over there, and Israel is being "scapegoated" because the Zionist project, just like the other Western colonialist projects, is soon to collapse and the powers that be no longer find it a good investment. And I said scapegoated not because Israel is not guilty but because it's a shared crime against humanity, and the West is doing a Pontius Pilates and washing the blood off their hands, pretending to be innocent because accountability is not a known Western trait and it would be hard/impossible to push a narrative that hurts people's feefees. Remember that this thorn on humanity's side was not just created by the British and the French over a century ago, but that even some months ago British ships were protecting Israel against retaliatory drone strikes after the latter suddenly bombed Iran with the help of the Americans (which is the height of Western civilization, the other Franco-British child, the unmasked soul of the West and the final destination for every nation that shares its ethos)...
- What do you mean by "their Western peers back home"? Are you suggesting Israelis are Westerners and not Middle Easterners?

About fucking time eh?

This is a cowards response to genocide. Israel should be economically sanctioned and embargoed. All Israeli visas should be cancelled. Every Israeli government or military member should be charged and imprisoned if they leave Israels jurisdiction.
They should be ostracised from the international community. Only Israeli's who publicly oppose Israel should be allowed asylum.
- Isn't that what the UN is trying to do, but Israels best buddy uses its veto to make it not happen?
- The correct response would be for one of the other nuclear-armed powers to come in with the Navy in land and amphibious invasion into Gaza and start shooting down any Israelis in the territory attacking it and reconstructing it.
  France or the uk or the us could end this.
because finally the things going on (Gazan genocide), the perpetrator (satan bibi) and the #1 supporter (the US administration) has all become intolerable all at once.

This is a very bad long term plan by Israel, turning the whole world into anti semites.

Is it though?

Nothing has changed because our leaders in business and politics all have video of them having sex with underage children and or numerous other crimes in the possession of Israel. Until that changes Israel will remain with unaccountable support. Not even killing millions of people in concentration camps will shake their support from our lawmakers. And apparently we can't change our lawmakers either. Of either party.

They are sure to silence any Jewish people who don't agree with the regime and the genocide. It's a VERY controlled country and free speech does not exist.

Israel has always been a problem that the world can't help because they refuse to be helped. They just want more weapons and death.

That'll show them!

So whatchu been doin?
