Israel is the most anti-Jewish state since Nazi Germany, and Palestinians are semitic.

Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!

Unfortunately, the term "antisemitic" no longer has any kind of fixed meaning. I wish that weren't true, and I think it's a combination of forces that decided to misuse the word for several decades, that have now led to it being meaningless.

And you might be tempted to tell me what you think it means, and maybe I could agree with you, but when I turn on the TV tomorrow someone else will be using it in a totally different way that's inconsistent. Actually I'm kidding. I don't have a TV.

Words that people misuse are still meaningful when the reader and writer both understand the same meaning. I expect you understand OP perfectly well.

Jewish people and groups around the world need to issue strong rejection of Israel's actions.

If they don't, i'm very concerned that Israel's crimes will fall back on them in the future.

Let's look at sentiment from different groups

Young and liberal associate them with Israeli genocide.

Young and conservative is full of full on Nazis.

Politically they aren't worth much being concentrated in liberal strongholds.

When the old folks who are pro Israel go into the grounds dislike will be a rare point of agreement. Not a great position.

I mean sure. Don't me a racist bigot. Of course.

But let's not pretend that religion isn't fueling the atrocities being committed on both sides of the conflict.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Religion isn't fueling it, it is just used as moral justification from both sides. If religion didn't exist the same thing would happen, but with a different form of moral justification.

It's a ton of racism too. Darker skinned Jews get all sorts of discrimination, it's just not as extreme as someone who is Palestinian.

This is what I said and then someone blew up in my face about it when I said this in another thread/post. Why are people so hard headed when it comes to accepting reality I wonder.

Yes because it's a nation which can have objectively bad characteristics and actions.
