Antisemitism will truly be defeated when Jews can live anywhere in the world without fear of persecution, not when they've carved out their own ethnostate.
Unfortunately, I feel like these times call for explicit clarification in what should be obvious.
"...when Jews can live anywhere in the world without fear of persecution.. for being Jewish" (but like everyone else can be held accountable as individuals for crimes including war crimes; that being Jewish doesn't turn prosecution into persecution)
The fact that this needs clarification is evidence that we do not deserve a future as a species.
JFC are we fucking idiots that this needs to be spelled the fuck out.
Valid distinction thanks to Israel.
Kind of reminds me of the brainwashing the media instituted about how covid was somehow a China thing and shortly after, people were attacking Asians because somehow or rather if you're Asian, suddenly covid was all your fault. It was also just another excuse for racists to act out. Humans really are just that dumb.
I don't advocate adventurism, but important to note that violence against jews is different than violence against Israeli state actors.
Just in case this meme is referencing the recent shooting of two Israeli Embassy workers. Again, I don't advocate adventurism, but it's important to recognize a distinction between violence directed at an ethnic group and violence directed at government officials.
other violence than those two victims going on unfortunately. both preceding and since, and civilians.
Like the time that Israeli shot those 2 Israelis in the US.
or those poor people who got attacked with a flamethrower literally today (this is breaking news btw im not fully caught up so apologies for any error)
Unless there was a different incident, i'm pretty sure the one you're talking about was a molotov cocktail, not a flamethrower.
again, already apologized. breaking news: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/colorado-fire-attack-live-updates-rcna210305
This is so true. I remember hearing about the two Israeli officials who were shot and I was stuck thinking: " was this motivated out of antisemitism and he just happened to hit legitimate targets instead of some innocent folks, or was the guy actually acting out of rage and sadness for what he's seen in Gaza?". Nowadays it seems like you can't even tell immediately - like you've gotta wait for more info. It was a relief to find out that everyone who knew the shooter agreed that he was not antisemitic, and chose to platform justice for Gaza when asked about the shooter.
All the "buts" in this thread are reflective of why these Israeli government arguments work.
I wouldn't say israeli leaders are antisemitic, but they accuse their critics of antisemitism to pursue their authoritarian and colonial agenda with impunity.
