No, you know what's anti-semitic? Defiling your ancestors by being a fucking genocidal Nazi.
Netanyahu says it's antisemitic
Learn a new trick, fuckface. This one doesn't work anymore. People are going to start responding to accusations like this with "so what?" because the word has been watered down to such a ridiculous degree that it is no longer meaningful.
And that's really dangerous because it provides cover for actual antisemitism against Jewish people.
I've never thought it fair or reasonable that the Jews have their own word for racism or supposedly committing racist actions against Jews is worse than committing the same act to others.
Maybe don't commit hate crimes?
I'm waiting for the day where he says reading the Torah is antisemitic.
Is Israel trying to give retroactive justification to Germany ca. 1940?
I think I get where you're going, but don't even go there. Nothing could ever justify any genocide; not the Holocaust, and not the Gaza one. The idea that anything could is frankly, grotesque.
I get what you're trying to say but let's not go down that path. Genocide isn't justified no matter the circumstances.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_antisemitism
Zionist antisemitism or antisemitic Zionism refers to a phenomenon in which antisemites express support for Zionism and the State of Israel. In some cases, this support may be promoted for explicitly antisemitic reasons. Historically, this type of antisemitism has been most notable among Christian Zionists, who may perpetrate religious antisemitism while being outspoken in their support for Jewish sovereignty in Israel due to their interpretation of Christian eschatology. Similarly, people who identify with the political far-right, particularly in Europe and the United States, may support the Zionist movement because they seek to expel Jews from their countries and see Zionism as the least complicated method (vis-à-vis ethnic cleansing or genocide) of achieving this goal and satisfying their racial antisemitism.

The French-Jewish journalist Alain Gresh noted that the antisemitic right-wing politician and Nazi collaborator Xavier Vallat said that "Jews would never integrate into France and that they had to go to Israel.
...
The historian David N. Myers wrote that "Leading white nationalists such as Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor liken their movement to Zionism, seeing it as a model for the kind of monoethnic purity they favor in [the United States]." Myers states that the "combination of pro-Israel and antisemitic sensibilities" is common within American politics due to the combined influences of the "Christian evangelical Right with its end-game theology", "archly conservative" Catholics, and the political ideology of Donald Trump.
I feel guilty for laughing.
Every day that word gets cheapened to the detriment of Jewish people everywhere.
Why are none of these evil dictators just dying of a heart attack already?!? Let's gooo!
Because there is no god.
But there's the CIA heart attack pistol from the 70s
certainly no death note that's for sure
If there was a god, the "chosen people" wouldn't need an Iron Dome, just clasped hands, and they certainly wouldn't need hospitals paid on the American dime.
The loudest proponents of faith always need some kind of non-faith based material resource, strangely enough.
"God demands that you give me all your money and work slavishly under me..for reasons!"
Or maybe there is one and it just really fucking hates us, but we'll likely never know.
I think, if so, we'll know soon enough.
Wow, the "that's antisemitic" saying really is an all encompassing get out of jail free card.
I feel so bad for any Jewish people who don't support this shit. There's gonna be multiple generations of actual antisemitism spawned by Israel's actions and the fact that the American deep state is obsessed with supporting them.
And will Likud have cried wolf enough that people start to disregard antisemitism entirely?
It's a masterkey unlocking all doors now
Hey, Israel is so super ethical. They one try on women's lingerie because it keeps them from getting shot. They only starve children because those children will become terrorist. They only shoot people seeking aid or food because they're seeking aid or food. What would you do if someone wanted water? Not shoot them? Are you insane?!
This comment is sarcasm. Fuck Israel and the IDF.
"I am jewish and did terrible things"
"Fuckin jew hater! He wants to kill all jews!"
That makes sense right?
This is what happens when they know what they are doing are war crimes.
What a cancerous sore.
If it is antisemitic to simply describe what the soldiers are doing, then the actions themselves are antisemitic.
I wouldn't call it antisemitic
However, it is deeply disturbing and unethical and Israel is desperately covering up by any means necessary
Well, maybe in the original meaning of the word. Most Palestinians do speak a Semitic language. The word usually now mean anti-jewish though.
So does Destiny! They should hang out.
It's just a common religious tactic. When they do bad things, they get angry at anyone who tried to call them out on it. Even if it's their own people, and they aren't doing it on purpose. Is the hate being supported by their religion? Yes? Then it's religious hate, and needs to be stopped.
Does it matter if it's one religion? Nope, they all do this shit. Radical christians, radical hindu, radical buddhists, etc... Call them out on their bullshit and hate, and you're the bigot. Well, fuck religion and the hate they all spew.
