Again this on-purpose confusing of "antisemitism" with "criticising Israeli politics". It would have been antisemitic if it was "Jews not welcome". Putting both in one pot is the key tactic to make IDF war crimes or Israeli settlers driving out Palestinians in-criticisable.

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have many Jewish friends and a respectful disdain for most all religions… I love learning the practices and beliefs of various mythologies that have been created and conjured by those trying to hold and justify power over their people, especially the stories in their religious texts identifying ways to be good human beings in an unfair world.

Jews are pretty cool, and I love how knowledge and education are generally highly valued.

Fuck the Israeli government.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In claiming that, Israel is saying that all Jewish people support the IDF's tactics of sniping babies and shooting starving people after luring them with food, which is itself quite antisemitic

[-] thedruid@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

As others have said. Disagreeing with Israeli policy is not any semetic at all.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 13 points 1 month ago

Would it be fair to ban Americans because one disagrees with Trump?

Was it fair to bomb Germans because of Hitler?

Is it fair to sanction a country because of it's leadership?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Would it be fair to ban Jewish Germans from universities?

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

How exactly is it comparable?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

There are Palestinian Israelis

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And? How is it related to what you said?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because banning Germans from the US in 1939 would exclude Jewish refugees from Germany from the US too

Excluding Israelis also excludes people who are ethnically Arab from Israel

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

We didn't discriminate against German Jews, why should we discriminate against Israeli Arabs?

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Who is "we" and what's your point?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Americans didn't discriminate against all Germans during WW2, why should they discriminate against all Israelis when the US is not even at war with Israel?

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Americans

What are you even talking about?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Americans because Italy was an ally of Hitler's Germany so you can't make the same comparison

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Man, just put your thoughts in order. You are making no sense.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It makes no sense to discriminate against people based on the country of their birth or their citizenship. Is that clear enough?

[-] Allah@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

so israel's action in gaza is justified because gazans attacked first?

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hate to break it to you, but the entire state of Israel is actually on Palestinian land. The land was literally called Palestine by Britain before they gave it to Israel in 1948 or so…

For reference, Trump was born in 1946

One could argue that in the time before Christ there were Jewish people in the area, but if we’re doing that, pretty much every nation state is illegitimate.

Many countries are already boycotting lots of American stuff. Nothing racial about it.

I could easily see a business saying no Israeli citizens allowed but still welcome American Jews with Israeli heritage. Still not antisemitic.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This is not about policy, Israelis didn't choose to be born there

[-] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 16 points 1 month ago

Israel is a democracy. They chose their government. Reap what you sow and all that.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

So if you're a Palestinian Israeli, who in no way supports the government or voted for it, you get to be discriminated against?

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 27 points 1 month ago

Keep wasting your time with your dumb israeli propaganda

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Oh we will god damn you!!!! /s

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 24 points 1 month ago

Sucks to be the small minority of anti-genocide Israelis, but yeah you reap what you sow.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Did they have signs against Russians?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

They should

[-] rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

You mean shocks Zionist. I like how they like to conflate the two. Zionism = movement, Judaism = religion, the two are not the same.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You realize a lot of Palestinians are Israeli, right? Israeli is what your passport says

[-] dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Punishing all Israelis because of their government is antisemitic.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

As Israelis they have the power to effect regime change…

But I don’t see you mentioning the Israeli war crime of collective punishment of the Palestinians for the actions of Hamas though…. Interesting

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Punishing Palestinians because of Hamas is antisemitic and pro occupation and genocide. Yes Palestinians are semetic

[-] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Wow a Jewish Nazi. You losing your instance is my silver lining to lemm.ee

Nope. Their religion is only slightly stoopid-er by virtue of having more material. Doomsday cult dipshit. I bet you're like a mcchristian and haven't even read the whole Torah, just recited pieces with help.
