This whole propaganda campaign is really damaging to the Jewish community at large over the long term. Antisemitism is a very real problem with horrible consequences, as history shows. Equating anti-colonialism, anti-apartheid, anti-genocide, pro-palistinian, etc, speech with antisemitic speech undermines the credibility of organizations (the ADL), commentators, and victims of antisemitic attacks when they actually occur. Additionally, there is a very real possibility that it could push people towards actually hateful ideologies. “They lied about that. Maybe they lied about this, too.”

Seriously, it’s absolutely maddening to see Isreal drag Judaism through the mud in service of their crybully-ass genocide

It goes beyond that. Jewish is both a faith and ethnicity, so even those that aren’t religious will face hatred from this.

I don’t believe that Jewish is an ethnicity. That’s like saying Catholics are an ethnicity. Judaism is just a religion. Any ethnicity can practice it. Same with any other religion.

They know that and they’re betting on being able to complete the ethnic cleansing and have it completely normalized by the west. Every neoliberal politician in the world is trying their hardest to shut down opposition because they also want to do the same to their own “undesirables”.

I can’t disagree with that at all. Beyond the obvious concern for others, my concern about this false campaign also includes myself. It’s not dissimilar to the Jussie Smollett situation in the ways it will be used to deny injustices that have occurred. I’m not Jewish, but I am a POC in the US.

For example, the ADL does not just call out hatred against the Jewish community but other marginalized groups as well. The far right has been attacking the organization’s credibility since its inception. They have now decreased or destroyed their credibility with those on the center-right and left by equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This includes myself. When they speak out about any actual hate, regardless of the target, it will now fall on deaf ears.

I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir, but I’m frustrated that I don’t see a way that this doesn’t lead to more people espousing more extreme-right ideology.

Zionism is totally removed from Judaism. It’s a settler colonial project of the west. They don’t give a fuck about the Jewish people in fact they hate them. But virtue signaling to spread colonization in the Middle East is still a win. So no nothing they do will be in the interest of Jewish people because it never was intended to.

the result is your average person isn’t going to understand that distinction and just stop caring about anti semitism

They don’t give a fuck about the Jewish people in fact they hate them.

Also ham fistedly attempting to lie to the media and getting caught every 12 hours isn’t really diminishing any stereotypes

Are you implying they’re proving Jewish stereotypes to be correct and that’s the problem? Not the stereotypes to begin with

That’s one of the critical doctrines of Zionism. They want to make the rest of the world unsafe for Jews. They want Occupied Palestine Israel to be perceived as the only safe space for Jews. It provides cover for their ongoing genocide against the indigenous population.

Zionism and antisemitism are like:

But both the arms are extremely white.

Been saying for a while they should really be careful because already seeing the sentiment “they call literally everything they don’t like anti semitism, who cares about anti semitism”

Literal boy who cried wolf situation. People use the term all the time I think a lot of them forget there was actually a wolf in that story that benefitted from the Shepard delegitimizing the threat of him.

I recently read a report about antisemitic incidents published by my country’s Jewish community. The vast majority of incidents were justified anger over the zionist occupation of Palestine that was being misdirected towards Jews and Jewish institutions who have nothing to do with the zionist entity.

Zionists are not friends of Jews. They are not making Jews safe, they are campaigning for people to think of Jews as genocidal fascists. I wouldn’t be surprised if 80% of antisemitism globally would disappear if the occupation and apartheid regime was ended.

Rightoids: “We support free speech…but any opinion that differs from our’s is indoctrination and is therefore too offensive to be spoken.”

They’re going to bring back blasphemy laws, and ‘being a leftist’ will be considered blasphemy.
