Absolutely 100% agreed. The organizers of the Palestinian protest should have kicked them out.

Not only is this despicable, it dilutes the very important effort of raising awareness of what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Dunno. There's idiots everywhere.

[-] edwardbear@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

My last shred of hope. Why do people have to be dicks, like, all the time

[-] original2@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity

Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.

Genocide is bad. Racism is bad. Mmmmkay.

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 38 points 3 months ago

That's all that should need to be said.

I don't care who's genociding, it's wrong

I don't care who's the racist, it's wrong

I don't care for their reasoning or defenses, they are wrong regardless.

Tolerate neither, ever

Uh, who's standing for either one of those besides fucking shitheads?

[-] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

We don't stand for this, the bottom picture are 2 graffiti made by people who we don't know, or when they were made, and 2 protestors with anti-Israel posters, not anti-Semitic. The wide movement of protests are absolutely not anti-Semitic, and you trying to post shit like this conflating anti-zionism with anti-Semitism is disgusting

Are you implying there are people who didn't stand for the first image and might stand for the second?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago

They’re the same picture

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah... I can denounce nazis while and at the same time denounce what Israel is doing in Gaza with a clear conscience.

I think you are mixing up the Star of David with the Israeli flag, which has the star on it.

Edit: I didn't notice the 2 smaller photos, that shit is unacceptable.

In my opinion leftists should create a Zionist symbol to separate Israel(the state) from Jewish people.

If they can convey the separation of the two for normies that would help their rhetoric game massively. (Israel ≠ Jewish people)

I stand by all effort to deny fascists the luxury of an effective narrative (Israel=Jewish people)

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 3 months ago

I mean the girl with the poster with the trash bin clearly put the Israeli flag in it, not just the star of David. If that's going to be called antisemetic then there's no symbol you can really use without getting called antisemetic for it.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 3 months ago

yeah and the other protest one has the american flag in the middle so it to points to governments. I mean the graffitti at the top is not necessarily related to protests at all. You can always find shitty graffiti. Im sure I could walk around the city and within an hour find something with fag written somewhere.

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

That being said, using "the final solution" in that context does not look good.

I vote for Israeli Flag with a swastika in the middle. Or is that a little unsubtle?

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Huh? The flag of Israel already does not mean all Jews. It's a state, not an ethnicity or religion

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

There is no symbol that can realistically do this. The symbol is just the vessel, and it's subject to change. Defund the police, turns into, well, the police just need more training, turns into, well the police are underfunded, turns into, fund the police. There's not like, a way by which you can easily meme your way out of it, because it's just what happens. The best defense has always just been a kind of moving target.

Um, we don't?

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 10 points 3 months ago

You can not guarantee that there will be no idiots at a public protest. But if the organisers are aware of them being present and do nothing, they should be judged accordingly.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 8 points 3 months ago

As I keep saying.

If you accuse those against Israel as being antisemitic, you're gonna make more of them actually antisemitic

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Well yeah, antisemitism is antisemitism. Antisemites can and should fuck off, and we should aid them in that process.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I feel like the "keep the world clean" is a really badly drawn israeli flag where it looks more like the star of david than the israeli flag. Rest is just disgusting antisemitism
