  I’m sure it was anti genocide/ anti Zionism they were going for but they fucked up by using the Star of David. That pretty clearly targets the religion not the country.

    Do you mean the star of David that is literally on the flag of the country

    Not really, the Israeli flag prominently features the star of David. 🇮🇱 See?

      That’s a very good point. And the flag kinda sums up Israel’s strategic conflation of anti Israel with anti Semitism.

      I’m guessing from the phrasing of the article that this was the Star of David outside of the flag. Which I think is asking for an accusation of anti Semitism and could have been easily avoided.

        Which is exactly why they’ve conflated Zionism with Judaism for 4/5 of a century. Fuck that.

    Yes it was about antizionism, the pictures didn’t end after the star of David/swastika thing. The band is fairly direct about thier criticism with what they showed, even by the Guardian’s description.

  A star of David entwined with a swastika? Clearly, without a doubt anti-Semitic. It’s saying “Jews are Nazis”.

  If you want to convey an anti-zionist message and don’t hate Jews, it’s actually quite easy. Yeah, Israel will still accuse you of being anti-Semitic but they say Jews are anti-semitic if they dare suggest genocide of Palestinians is a bad thing, so we don’t go by that.

  People are pushing back on Israel’s “all criticism of Israel is racist” with “no criticism of Israel is racist”. Be fucking better. Stop condoning racism because it aligns with your politics.

    What’s on the Israeli flag…? Y’know, the flag that represent a country? What’s on it again…? I just plain forgot.

  a jewish religious symbol mashed together with a nazi symbol can easily be interpreted as anti-jew racism

  i’m guessing there was no similar islamic symbol representing the genocidal intents of many islamic terrorist movements and countries

    News’ job is to report facts. If one person says it’s raining and another says it’s not the journalist should go outside and check, not just report “he said, she said” bullshit.

      Never heard of an opinion piece? Reporting people’s takes on a situation is very much part of journalism along with factual news.

      When it’s done well, it can be really powerful and informative.

        So you think opinion = fact?

        Did i math that correctly?

        Opinion/editorial and News usually have what’s called a firewall between the two departments at a newspaper. They never work together. This is news, not an opinion piece.
