If they keep throwing around that word at every criticism, do they not realize they weaken their point a little bit every time. No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt. Israel is Israel's problem. Destroying effigies of unpopular politicians is a tradition that dates back centuries, get over yourselves you big babies.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 20 points 6 days ago

It's gotten the point where one must dig into every accusation of "antisemitism" to see if there's really bigotry or if someone just pissed off the Zionists.

If one must find out more every time one hears a word, that word's utility is gone.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

that's the plan.

every time they kill a child on camera and say zionism==Judaism. they encourage people to become antisemitic. they then keep on going killing 1 in six people in Gaza. antisemitism grows. Antisemitic attacks increase, then their propaganda chants how only in Israel jews can be safe (demonstrably false). and get people to colonize new illegal settlements.

Israel wants antisemitism. zionism was always antisemitic.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

they encourage people to become antisemitic

It just makes me more strongly opposed to crimes against humanity. I still have close Jewish friends and former partners, and they're all against these genocidal tactics.

When you find out every single antisemitism statement and law are made to justify the moral of killing, prison, kicking out, and basically genociding the Palestinians people, who are the actual people who always lived there, the words and the laws doesn't mean anything.

The antisemites will be our allies

-Theodor Herzl (paraphrased because I can't be assed to get the original quote).

No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt.

They always have been; it just took a livestreamed genocide for Westerners to get the point.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago (4 children)

People have been sick of them for ages but a lot of politicians in the Western world, are, for some reason, beholden to Israel and have always criticised people who speak out against them. Even when that criticism is entirely justified and has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with specific individuals in the Israeli government, and their personal actions.

the "oprah" of calling people anti-semites" your anti-semite, your and anti-semite, everyone is anti-semitic"-BIBI

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

That's pretty much the Likud party line: everyone who's not a trigger-happy ultranationalist is the enemy, who should be fought or manipulated. It's identity paranoia at a level that makes even scumbags like the Serbs seem laid-back and welcoming.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

This engine hates jewish people especially

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nope, not antisemitic.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] jaamesbaxterr@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Yep, shitty people are shitty people. I don't give a damn about nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation. None of that stuff has any bearing on your character and integrity.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 5 days ago

if anything he's antisemitic by lending credence to the Jewish cabal ruling the world shit.

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal!!

Being against war crimes does not make you an anti Semite.
Israelis claiming that only shows they are disconnected from reality, and have an insane level of entitlement.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Calling this kind of thing "anti-semitic" implies that committing war crimes, including Genocide, is a fundamental Jewish trait.

THAT is about the most anti-semitic thing imaginable, way beyond most of the slander against Jews from the traditional anti-semites.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Excellent point. 👍

Oh, wow, now Netanyahu himself represents the entirety of the Jewish People.

I did nazi that coming.

What's 'fuhrer' in the black speech of mordor?

[–] overkrill@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 6 days ago (1 children)

hahaha they blew up an effigy of YOU my guy! that's pretty specific! kinda hard to seriously argue that hating ONE GUY out of all the Jewish people on earth is antisemitism.

(yes the rest of the zios can all fuck off too but this is too funny)

Does Bibi yell antisemitism when his waitress takes a little too long to take his order?

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He's probably called God an anti-semite after being rained on.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Prolly.

It’s also antisemitism when his ass wiper is a little too rough.

(If he’s still alive, even.)

Just like antinazi is not antigerman, antizionism is not antisemitism. Zionist == Nazi. Israel currently is zionist country, therefore Israel == Nazi Germany.

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 3 points 5 days ago

this made me realise.

Nazi Germany was officially called Greater German Reich, Israel proclaims a Great Israel

imagine if in the future, after all this BS. we refer to 2020s israel as Zionist Israel the same way we refer to 1940s Germany as Nazi Germany

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago

Seems more like anti-genocide.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 6 days ago (3 children)

In Netanyahu's mind, he is identical to Judaism.

I don't know why do many people insist on amplifying that message, it's going to have absolutely terrible effects on ordinary Jewish people around the world.

Well, I understand why people who hate Judaism would be spreading that idea, I guess.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yep. Hardcore, yep. I think the average person supports Judaism as much as any other religion; "do your thing, don't shove it down my throat. I respect you and your ideology." At the same time, any reasonable informed person would celebrate Netenyahoo's (I don't care to spell the clowns name correctly) funeral. I think most of us are on the same page for most things, but media influence is real, and very bad.

I think the reason Israel's decline into fascism has gone unchecked for so long is because they play the antisemitism card every time anyone voices even the slightest bit of criticism towards the country and/or its government. They know exactly what they're doing.

Lmao, would blowing up an effigy of Hitler be racist towards Germans?

Conflating disgust towards and individual with disgust towards the race/religion/nationality that individual belongs to is such a transparent attempt to shed well aimed criticism.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

This worked about 10 years ago. Now it's more of a 'boy who cried wolf' situation

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It is called antiZionism.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 6 days ago

remember with kathy griffith made a effigy of trumps head,and she was cancelled, but when the right wingers did it, they wernt.

[–] network_switch@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

At this point when I’ve heard it said so many times for anything that isn’t just cheering on or silence that I usually expect those saying it to be racist and certainly Islamophobic and very likely genocide apologist

Based on Netanyahu's logic, if Israel doesn't want people to be anti-semetic, stop doing things to make people hate Israel.

Being anti-semetic and simply hating Israel's policies and those who implement and act them out are 2 very different things.

Netanyahu is a fucking idiot.

How does the average Jew feel when this guy claims to represent them?

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

there we have it, Satanyahu is the embodiment of semitism (according to him)

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Okay, so is Bibi implying here that he, all by himself, is the physical embodiment of Judaism on this planet?

If so I think that's blasphemy.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Nobody saw that coming. No-one at all. /s

El Burgo has population of ~1700. Nice town, beautifully located. Great cycling route.
