Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig
jimmy90@lemmy.world 4 days agoa 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

They did indeed, which is sort of the point you’re missing. Now you’re letting Israel dictate your messaging by supporting its use, bad plan.
If you want to help Israel, make an anti-Israel message that conflates Israel and Judaism (or just appears to), that’s their entire gambit right now, and it shields them by making anti-Israel messages trigger racism alarms and get ignored.
The more clearly anti-Israel messaging distances itself from anti-Jewish racism the harder Israel has to work, and combining a Star of David and a swastika is straight up zero effort for them. They probably don’t even need to throw any bot comments into the mix, real people will reach the conclusions they want without any help at all.

it sounds a lot more like you’re the one letting israel direct your messaging than literally anyone else involved
i literally don’t give a shit what israel cries about, if I see something is from an israeli source, i reduce the amount of confidence i have in it by 99%. if i hear that something is anti-semitic, that means I need to check if it’s really anti-semitic or if it’s just thinly-veiled bullshit again. if I’m too busy, I just assume it’s bullshit.
honestly, if nothing else, it’s free press, and it might make some zionists wonder why everyone is calling them genocidal and comparing them to nazis
anyways, wishing israel a very dissolved and a happy new execution for war crimes for their state
