No, I mean comparing the State of Israel to the Nazis.
The World Jewish Congress link explains why that’s antisemitic. You should read it so you can work on overcoming your own bigotries.
I've noticed that this sort of rank antisemitism is pretty commonplace on Lemmy, unfortunately.
No, they’re a hostile power collaborating with our enemies including Russia and China. The drones used by Russia are purchased from Iran. They are intent on a campaign of genocide against our allies in Israel and have become a destabilising force across the wider Middle East, causing Lebanon and Yemen to become failed states.
This juvenile self-loathing anti-Westernism is honestly so boring at this point.
The Islamic Regime in Tehran should be toppled at the earliest possible opportunity.
They are enemies of Britain and we do not support them in anything.
The Regime in Tehran should be undermined, opposed, attacked wherever possible.
(The UN does not, in fact, have a 'right to defend itself', nor to slaughter Jews in brutal pogroms, nor to teach generations of children that the greatest thing they can do with their lives is detonate a suicide vest in a crowd of Jewish civilians using the money of the international community)
despite islamic terrorism literally, by definition, being right wing.
It's neither right-wing nor left-wing. This sort of claim always strikes me as fairly cheap politics by people on the left. 'When people do bad things it's right-wing, when they do good things it's left-wing.' etc
Let me give you the full sentence:
"Never again will the Jewish people put their safety and security in the hands of non-Jews."
Non-Jews were given a test with the Holocaust and we comprehensively failed.
From now on, the Jewish people will only ever trust themselves to protect them. Rightly so, in my view.
And yes, I do deny there's a genocide in Gaza. If they wanted to just eradicate them then this war would have been over many months ago.
If I believed that Israel was a genocidal "regime" (by which you mean democratic government) I wouldn't be defending it.
You don't know many Jewish people and the others have chosen not to interact with you.
My guess is that you said and did nothing for your Jewish neighbours and classmates and colleagues and friends on October 8th. I'm guessing you also said nothing when crowds gathered outside Sydney Opera House to chant "gas the Jews".
Jews have an intuitive sense of who would help them if the Holocaust happened again. People who didn't speak out in those days? They went on the "don't rely on them to hide us in their basement" list.
I assume you're going to go through the next few years very confused why Jews are scared of you.
https://lemmy.world/c/jewish doesn’t even appear in your screenshot for starters, so it’s obvious you’re not seeing a full list of results.

Okay, cool, that's good to know.
What does /c/Jewish think about the idea of abolishing the State of Israel? Do they agree with you about antisemitism? Have you tried engaging with them about that?
But more importantly, Jewish people are under no obligation to make a Lemmy community and post about their religion, just as any one else isn’t. An absence of such community does not reflect an absence of followers.
It does in fact reflect an absence of followers. Jews do not feel welcome or safe among radical leftists, who tend to dominate Lemmy. They therefore stay away.
Also, here's a comparison:
You don't genuinely think that there's no problem here? Most Jews don't move from Reddit to Lemmy because Lemmy is dominated by left-wing people, and left-wing people are the current threat to Jews.

No. I want the IDF to be given the weapons to finish off Hamas. The Palestinians have no future while Hamas rules in Gaza, and the IDF are the only military force in the world with both the capacity and motivation to destroy Hamas - it certainly won't come from Palestinians themselves. Israel can't plausibly be expected to allow Gaza or the West Bank to become a state if that means Hamas coming to power.
