This whole propaganda campaign is really damaging to the Jewish community at large over the long term. Antisemitism is a very real problem with horrible consequences, as history shows. Equating anti-colonialism, anti-apartheid, anti-genocide, pro-palistinian, etc, speech with antisemitic speech undermines the credibility of organizations (the ADL), commentators, and victims of antisemitic attacks when they actually occur. Additionally, there is a very real possibility that it could push people towards actually hateful ideologies. "They lied about that. Maybe they lied about this, too."

Seriously, it's absolutely maddening to see Isreal drag Judaism through the mud in service of their crybully-ass genocide

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago (21 children)

It goes beyond that. Jewish is both a faith and ethnicity, so even those that aren't religious will face hatred from this.

They know that and they're betting on being able to complete the ethnic cleansing and have it completely normalized by the west. Every neoliberal politician in the world is trying their hardest to shut down opposition because they also want to do the same to their own "undesirables".

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

I can't disagree with that at all. Beyond the obvious concern for others, my concern about this false campaign also includes myself. It's not dissimilar to the Jussie Smollett situation in the ways it will be used to deny injustices that have occurred. I'm not Jewish, but I am a POC in the US.

For example, the ADL does not just call out hatred against the Jewish community but other marginalized groups as well. The far right has been attacking the organization's credibility since its inception. They have now decreased or destroyed their credibility with those on the center-right and left by equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This includes myself. When they speak out about any actual hate, regardless of the target, it will now fall on deaf ears.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I'm frustrated that I don't see a way that this doesn't lead to more people espousing more extreme-right ideology.

credibility of organizations (the ADL)

the Apartheid Defense League collaborated with South Africa to spy on anti-apartheid Americans

I wasn't aware of that, thank you for that. The people of this world never fail to disappoint.

undermines the credibility of organizations (the ADL)

The ADL destroys its own credibility

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

the ADL

Absolute dogshit losers

Zionism is totally removed from Judaism. It's a settler colonial project of the west. They don't give a fuck about the Jewish people in fact they hate them. But virtue signaling to spread colonization in the Middle East is still a win. So no nothing they do will be in the interest of Jewish people because it never was intended to.

Zionism is totally removed from Judaism.

Yeah but the zionists don't want you knowing that

That's one of the critical doctrines of Zionism. They want to make the rest of the world unsafe for Jews. They want ~~Occupied Palestine~~ Israel to be perceived as the only safe space for Jews. It provides cover for their ongoing genocide against the indigenous population.

Zionism and antisemitism are like:

solidarity

But both the arms are extremely white.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Been saying for a while they should really be careful because already seeing the sentiment "they call literally everything they don't like anti semitism, who cares about anti semitism"

Literal boy who cried wolf situation. People use the term all the time I think a lot of them forget there was actually a wolf in that story that benefitted from the Shepard delegitimizing the threat of him.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I recently read a report about antisemitic incidents published by my country's Jewish community. The vast majority of incidents were justified anger over the zionist occupation of Palestine that was being misdirected towards Jews and Jewish institutions who have nothing to do with the zionist entity.

Zionists are not friends of Jews. They are not making Jews safe, they are campaigning for people to think of Jews as genocidal fascists. I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of antisemitism globally would disappear if the occupation and apartheid regime was ended.

Ethnically cleansing the library because I'm afraid my apartheid state sucks so bad at propaganda that people might be convinced we're genociding the native populationincorrect-suspicion

Rightoids: "We support free speech...but any opinion that differs from our's is indoctrination and is therefore too offensive to be spoken."

They're going to bring back blasphemy laws, and 'being a leftist' will be considered blasphemy.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In any other context, this would be seen as cartoonishly evil behavior

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

no, this context too

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

I don’t see what doing this kind of irritating shit is going to accomplish for him besides pissing people off.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

literally stealing knowledge from children

into a black hole you go

[–] SeizeToothbrush@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

Keep them for so long that you inadvertently radicalize your own kids.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Won't the library eventually just like, charge them the cost of the books and buy new copies to loan out?

I like how villainous this guy looks. The slick-backed hair, the goatee, the cold dead eyes. It's almost too on-the-nose

@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube

Uh wtf? No dude, it's the context of the image and the act together that make him look like a dead eyed genocidal monster. It has literally nothing to do with him being Jewish (I don't even know from the context of this post if he is Jewish or not, there are tons of Christian Zionists and non-Jewish supporters of Zionism in general. Making that assumption/assuming Judaism is equivocal with Zionism is ACTUALLY anti-Semitic).

@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube throws around vibe based antisemitism accusations while a genocide is going on

i dont understand how people live with super hot super bright lights. Gimme like 2500-2700K like 60W equivalent lights and an ultra cozy room. I don't understand apartments with psychological warfare lighting.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

I think the room plays a factor. I like more white/blue in the kitchen, bathroom, and closet for visibility and "color accuracy" but prefer more red light in the living room, bedroom, and other areas for relaxing.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What are you talking about? He looks like every New York corporate lawyer I've ever me-

Sorry, you're absolutely right, carry on.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah man but it's totally the jews being genocided rn because people hate israel.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago

I wonder why that is.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, "checks out books indefinitely", or as it's actually called, "theft". The police are getting called for conspiracy to commit theft when?

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Well actually, they were called into a conspiracy to steal from NYC public libraries just recently

[–] wahwahwah@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lol their kid's gonna find the book lying around somewhere at home, read it, and hate Israel. Reactionaries spend so much time controlling other kids that they forget about their own >:)

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Based kids.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Honestly a pretty great summation of the whole conflict to go to a place that loans out resources for free for the benefit of all and then take them, say they're yours rightfully and then pat yourself on the back for how brave and tough you are for literally stealing from children.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Party time's over, joy boy!

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Great thread to find after reading that liberal aunt X post about needing to vote for liberals to prevent book burnings

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why does deranged American fascists throw tantrums over children's books all the time? It feels like a very American thing.
