It's clever propaganda.

Not only does it smear the protests, it terrifies Jews into migrating to Israel.

... well it used to. I don't think the propaganda is hitting the same anymore.

Major props to JVP, IfNotNow, and all the other Jewish diaspora orgs in the West that took a sledgehammer to that narrative.

Right?? I am anything but antisemitic, but I dislike the way Isreal handles its conflict.

But media portrays it as such. But not being jewish I don't know how the issue handles for them in their private life.

Judaism isn't a nationality or an ethnicity. It's a religion. Jewish people don't have any reason to 'handle' what's happening in Palestine any differently than anyone else UNLESS they're a fascist.

Judaism is definitely an ethnic group as well as a religion. Any sociologist would accept that.

Perhaps in the United States.

However, while being Jewish is a religious identity, it's also an historical, ethnic, cultural, and experienced identity. e.g: There are many Jewish people who've never practiced Judaism that still identify as such to themselves and by their societies, and not just the Euro-American ones.

And if you talk about the media's portayal of antisemitism you're also accused of antisemitism.

I've wondered about this lately. Can any Jewish people living outside of Israel comment on what they're seeing among friends and family about trends in rates of emigration to Israel over the past few decades? I'm particularly curious as to how gen-Z Jews feel about it.

Anecdotal but I found out one Gen Z American I know who had recently gotten Israeli citizenship and lived in Tel Aviv. Hadn't seen him since highschool but he was posting the most insane shit like "1000:1 Palestinians to Israelis is the price."

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
