Bad take.
- Antisemitism is not anti-zionism in any way. But I know that you already know that.
- Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.

You’re allowed to be antisemitic now as long as you use the word “zionist” instead of “jew”.
Nobody has ever used this one weird trick before ever, so it’s sure to trick everyone! Just remember to use the word “genocide” as many times as you can when someone calls you out for antisemitism. Bonus points if you say “Ackshually the jews zionists are the nazis!” That’s super original and you automatically win every argument when you compare a group of people with the nazis.
Then you can go about making conspiracy theories about the jews zionists controlling the media, being the secret puppet masters of the world, etc. all you want!

“certain sector of people”
Hmmmm… which sector of people would that be? Oh I’m sure you believe there’s “some good ones” when you think about Jews.
Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.
So you don’t even recognize Jews exist now? You’ve erased the entire Jewish identity from your mind in your rationalizations of how you’re not antisemitic? That’s really disturbing.

It’s the sector of people that want to colonize Palestine, genocide the natives and create an ethnostate. That sector of people.
MTZ@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Yes, that sector.
And to the guy that is arguing with me, once again…most zionists are Christian.
MTZ@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Once again…most zionists are Christian. I honestly believe that you know exactly what I am saying and are trying to twist my words into something else that would fit your narrative using semantics.

How do you feel about the “sector of people” that supports the genocide of Jews? Sectors like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Ayatollah of Iran. Whoops, scratch that last one!

In your mind: How many elementary schools can a nation bomb before we’re allowed to say that nation’s government is evil and should be eliminated?
Because Israel is constantly targeting and killing women and children, and you’re…ok with that? Please explain.

How many protesters can the Ayatollah execute before you’ll admit the Iranian government is evil and should be eliminated?
You’re arguing regime change is necessary when a government is evil. Iran’s government has killed tens of thousands of people in the last few months. So do you agree Iran’s regime is evil? How are you deciding which regime is evil and “should be eliminated”? Does it have anything to do with the predominate ethnicity of the countries being discussed?
BillCheddar@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I did not argue that regime change is necessary. I didn’t say a goddamn thing about regime change.
What I said was a direct question, and your dishonest ass couldn’t answer it.
So I will repeat it: HOW MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IS ISRAEL ALLOWED TO MURDER BEFORE YOU’LL BE AGAINST IT?
Answer the goddamn question I asked or leave me alone.

In your mind: How many elementary schools can a nation bomb before we’re allowed to say <b>that nation’s government is evil and should be eliminated</b>?
Emphasis added.
Do you make a distinction between eliminating a nation’s government and a regime change?
Or were you just JAQing off there?

I uh… what? Is this a joke?
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 13 hours ago
I don’t know you tell me. Are the current efforts to zionist wash all of the old antisemitic tropes a joke? I’d think after a bunch of Jews got massacred in Australia y’all would realize antisemitism is real, it’s global, and maybe it’s not a joke.
Harvey656@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I dont think there’s a single person here how would say antisemitism is fake. But a blanket “Your an antisemitic a-hole” for anyone that has a differing opinion is literally the same thing, just with religion removed.
Im not saying thats what you are doing, because both your comment and reply have deeply confused me. I dont like to assume withiut at least some level of confirmation, and I never got my answer anyway…
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 hours ago
Ah so you recognize antisemitism is real. Good for you. Do you also recognize that there’s a deliberate effort to make antisemitism acceptable by preemptively discrediting all claims of antisemitism?
That’s what the meme is about isn’t it? The point is that “it’s ok to say whatever you want, antisemitism isn’t real.” You’re being front loaded with the idea that if anyone says something is antisemitic that person should automatically be discredited.
If all accusations of antisemitism are false, that logically means antisemitism isn’t real.
A very insidious tactic they’re using here isn’t it?

I respect the Jewish faith, and think genocide is wrong and should be stopped.
Call me an antisemite now, fuckface.

And don’t forget about people of Jewish ethnicity who are not religious. I respect them too, though I oppose Israel’s genocide.
