China's usually strict sensors are seemingly ignoring rising antisemitism online
Antisemitic content has been surging on Chinese social media since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. CNN’s Will Ripley shares why that might be happening on purpose.
Antizionism is not antisemitism
92True, but also they can exist in the same statement, and often do.
-10The anti-zionists I know are not antisemitic, and I have not seen them be antisemitic.
Sometimes I see people say a statement is antisemetic, such as “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free,” or something else with a similar meaning. That is not an antisemetic statement. It is against the state, not against the people, nor is it against the religion or ethnicity, and the two are not equal. Any attempt to equate the two is an attempt to silence people who are against the actions of the state, which is usually what I end up seeing.
Sure, you can say something that is both, but I almost never see people do this.

Yes it is. No one other than the dumbest fucks believe that. Jews have been massacred in the middle east for Millenia, if they no longer have their own country the Arabs will complete what Hamas started.
Calling for the destruction of Israel is calling for the murder of ten million Jews.

The great firewall was meant to protect us from the sheer shitposting power of Chinese netizens.
China is the greatest modern civilization in human history!
18The firewall was & is meant to protect indigenous technological development from being overrun by Silicon Valley corporations.
9You mean the Silicon Valley corporations China is stealing the development from?

Bomb it
Tear down this disgusting house
Tear it down
Demolish it
Burn it
This is not antisemitism.
"Kill the Jews" is antisemitic.
15Something something Parenti quote...
14During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

0Fuck off. Anything I see that claims "anti-antisemitism" is Israeli propaganda. Israel is the most anti-Semitic nation in the world today, if you are anti-Israel, you cannot be anti-Semitic.
0Probably because their government wants the people to feel anger towards Israel and the West in general. It makes it easier to mobilize them. They are preparing for a major conflict with the West and we are doing the same. We are all on the brink of a global war. Hopefully, it never comes to that. At a minimum, it’s looking like a Cold War with proxy wars and massive military buildup is ahead of us.
