Israelis doing whatever they can to make the word "antisemitic" lose all of its value.
At this point I can't take it at face value unless I know who's saying it. At least in this case I know it's coming from a genocidal waste of human life.
It already has lost its meaning. Semites are anyone who speak or spoke a semetic language. Arabic and Hebrew are both semetic languages. Palestinians and Israelis are both semites.
Yes, but the term antisemetic was coined by - well - antisemetic Germans who wanted a more scientifc term for "Jew hate" explicitly.
It doesn't matter that Arabs are semetic, the history of the term solely refers to hating Jews.
“The decision of the antisemitic court in The Hague proves what was already known: This court does not seek justice, but rather the persecution of Jewish people. They were silent during the Holocaust and today they continue the hypocrisy and take it another step further,” he says.
The ICJ in its current iteration was founded in 1945.
The Israeli government is losing all of its credibility.
Weren't the UN created after WWII exactly with the whole idea to create an international body that is to prevent the atrocities that occurred in WWII? The ICJ is part of the UN and was established at 16.06.1945.
And doesn't Israel exist because of the same agency, the UN, which they now call antisemitic, just because they dare criticize them?
I mean, I will point out that the proto-Israeli terrorist group, Lehi, assassinated the top UN mediator, Folke Bernadotte, in 1948. Lehi was pardoned for their actions and glorified by the Israeli state, and their leader was Prime Minister of Israel from 1983 to 1992.

The Israeli state historically has been very hostile to the UN.
Not the Onion material
genocidist gets mad he's called a genocidist, confuses term used for hatred of a religious group with criticism of a government
one can be pro judaism (or at least neutral to it) and anti israel. someone needs to tell this clown israel≠judaism≠israel.
Ben Gvir is simply calling for Nationalist Socialism, to protect the Fatherland, dehumanizing Palestinians to justify people following orders and annexing neighbors. Well, that definitely not at all like Nazi Germany at all then (bitter sarcasm).
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
