Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig
GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoWhat’s on the Israeli flag…? Y’know, the flag that represent a country? What’s on it again…? I just plain forgot.

So do you think that Israel and Jews or Judaism are one and the same? No?
The symbols are not the same. A swastika emblazoned on an Israeli flag would be a completely different statement.
You know, just the same as there’d be a difference between displaying an alteration of any religious symbol that implies its members are all evil, and displaying an alteration of a flag featuring that symbol. Many flags feature religious symbols.

That’s the problem with creating an ethnostate, suddenly there is conflation between the actions of the nation and its chosen identity. The Star of David is at once a symbol of the religion and the state of israel. The state of israel set these conditions. At once, the symbol can stand for both separately. You’re doing the Knesset’s work for them.

Yeah that’s a problem with Israel.
Doesn’t absolve everyone else of the responsibility not to be racist tho.
