Comment on Updated ADL guidelines
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 days agoI wonder what the ADL would think if people started openly doing Nazi salutes now around Jewish communities.
The Jewish people will never again be taken seriously as crusaders against genocide and fascism.
The ADL represents the Jewish people in the same way that Focus on the Family represents the Christian people.

I still live in this Jewish community I grew up in. ADL or not the majority of these people are fanatical about supporting Israel, so if supporting an open neo-Nazi is expedient to their cause they will not think twice about it. They don’t care if they burn down the US in the process so long as they get what they want.

They’re the bad ones then mate. I’m part-jewish, been to Israel a couple times, it’s horrifying to see the genocide that’s going on and at this point it’s basically an ethnostate/apartheid. Jews have a right to exist peacefully after WW2 but this ain’t it Chief!

Just to be clear, I don’t hate my neighbors. They were my friends and mentors growing up. I’m just really disappointed with the community considering the values I was instilled by the Jewish community as an adolescent, these are not the values I was taught by my Jewish teachers. There doesn’t seem to be a healthy way forward ay the moment, people are gripped by hysteria.

Hard agree, there’s some blind love for Israel, people haven’t quite figured out that Netanyahu is a facist and that as usual, violence only begets violence. I don’t see anything good happening for them soon, or any countries in the middle-east that do the same.
