Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Enough said.
We should definitely not fall to literal anti-semitism no matter the case the fuck is wrong with you?
The cry universally used by the resistance is that to you now lmao gotta phone Ansar Allah real quick. Like hello_hello previously said:
""Al Sarkha" or "the collective outcry" from Ansar Allah was modeled after revolutionary Iran and adopted in 2003, right after POTUS Bush Junior's invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the Palestinian second intifada. The line "Curse upon the the Jews" has drawn ire from international audiences for being antisemitic.
It is not antisemitic because antisemitism no longer exists as a form of systemic oppression. Judaism has been subsumed by the white supremacist settler class system as Christianity has been. Jews are not a race nor are they an ethnicity and to say so is to directly support Israel's myth of existence which is predicated on the revisionist history of Judaism as well as the centrality of the European Jewish experience above all others.
To do politeness finger wagging to a people who have suffered genocide at the hands of Jewish settlers, US imperialists and gulf compradors is an insult to their intelligence and to their humanity.
Incredible how we are on a thread detailing the murder of an innocent baby girl with her grandfather and all you can think about is how a Jewish person's feelings might be hurt."
Wtf is wrong with you that you'd rather police the language of genocide victims and survivors over nearly 200 little girls murdered in a day?
Fuck off that isn't what I or anyone else is doing. Jewish people did also suffer genocide, doesn't excuse what Israel does but it also doesn't excuse repeating "Curse on the Jews" I'm not even Jewish but it's obviously not cool fuck off.
How do you feel about "A curse upon the christians" said by the people oppressed by christian supremacism, given the history of christian genocide in Turkey (Armenian, devshirme)?
I feel the same fucking way because it isn't Jewish or Christian supremacism it's white supremacism in all of these cases.
It's not arab christians oppressing anyone it's euros, same with Israelis, almost all of them are European, fucking Netanyahu was born in Philadelphia and calling it Jewish supremacism is just off putting to me because it is actually an offshoot of white supremacism and trying to deliniate the two especially when it's fuckin white europeans doing it is only to absolve themselves to make it some unique thing. It's still just cracker settler colonialism you don't have to make it uniquely Jewish, that is Nazi shit.
Also your example of genocide in turkey like wtf are you talking about Turkey genocided Christian Armenians...
I understand that, but if someone posts a fairly common saying like "there is no hate like christian love", "Christianity doesnt get enough hate for it's role in x" or "Pictured: most compassionate christians" under a post detailing hate crimes by christians, I'm not gonna go "That's not real christianity". I should be permabanned if I ever do something like that. That's what I think 3rdWorldCommieCat meant by "politeness finger wagging".
The fact that over half of the holocaust victims were jewish is as relevant to the conversation as the armenian genocide is to a conversation about christian supremacism (which was the parallel I was trying to draw).
Which, as far as I can tell, no one is doing. Certainly not 3rdWorldCommieCat who wrote
These are good points but there have absolutely been instances of people doing what I observed in my comment above, though they usually get quickly removed by mods, which is good. It's just something we should be vigilant about because it's the exact same way Nazis operated historically, by twisting Marxist rhetoric into an avenue for real bad shit and we should always take an internationalist perspective as foundation of our analysis.
Just yesterday I saw someone post some ZOG "analysis" that has since been removed. I'm sure you can find it in the modlog.
I hear this a lot on Hexbear, but would anybody on this site object to banning someone for posting e.g. Happy Merchant cartoons?
Happy Merchant cartoons, created by "A. Wyatt Mann", are fundemantally different from Al Sarkha. There is no comparison.
I wasn't trying to equivocate the two. My point was that if we accept the specific premise that "antisemitism no longer exists as a form of systemic oppression. Judaism has been subsumed by the white supremacist settler class system" then what separates those cartoons from emotes like
?
Material manifestation of those related "issues" in the current world we live in. One is a cry of struggle from a nation exploited and dominated in the periphery that is rebelling; targeted obviously towards the Entity and their settler-colonial inhabitants. The other is a cartoon used by reactionaries and has been.
I still am a little hesitant about casual use though in the West if you are a leftist. There are better signs for your local conditions; mostly because a sign/banner/etc like that would be completely taken the wrong way from every way. Optics do indeed matter.
No idea what that is so I can't comment.
What if it was actually meant to be read as "Death to Israel" -> "A curse upon the Jews" referring to how Israel is a curse on Jews everywhere who have been pulled into its orbit of settler colonialism just by existing?
This is literally exactly what it is.
oh go fuck yourself im so serious
The slogan is from 2003 and is no longer primarily used today (instead being superseded by "America is the mother of all terrorism"), you had over 20 years to say "hey what the fuck" but specifically it had to be right now. The Sarkha was being posted during the ongoing genocide of Palestine after the Al Aqsa flood with the same translation.
If I didn't even provide a translation would you even have noticed? Maybe I should have censored the translation and said "Curse upon the Jews of Israel" and not have presented Yemeni victimization as it was back then.
No, I wouldnt have noticed because don't read Arabic, congrats, you got me, what point are you trying to prove? Pretending that anti-semitism doesn't go hand-in-hand with fascism and colonialism is ridiculous.
Do you seriously think I don't care about the people America massacres because they're muslim? Do I need to perform my disgust so everyone knows I think this is terrible? Fucking obviously I'm horrified. But "curse upon the Jews" isn't anticolonial or anti-fascist, and its not an analysis any communist should ever agree with.
But the Zionist entity is very specifically a fascist, colonial, and Jewish supremacist ethnostate. Is anti-Semitism truly the core of Jewish supremacy? Does it go hand-in-hand? Sure, we see quite often how fuelling anti-Semitism abroad is a tactic for inspiring support of the Zionist project in Occupied Palestine, but is it correct to say that the Jewish supremacist ethnostate is itself, within its own self-conception, anti-Semitic? And is that anti-Semitism a key feature and more important to analyze than the predominant ideological basis of its existence: fascist, colonial, Jewish supremacy?
because from your sentence here, it seems like you are saying that by virtue of their purported anti-Semitism, the victims of the Zionist project are walking hand-in-hand with fascism and colonialism, rather being subjected to it at the hands of the very fascist and colonial Jewish supremacist ethnostate.
I am stressing that the Zionist project is Jewish supremacist because it is a core component of the entity's identity and ultimate goal, and a key piece of understanding why that sentiment exists in this outcry.
Yes it is.
Yeah but we have people in this thread asking for an emoji of it. That is a problem.
