    It took much longer than it should have.

    One of the greatest successes of Netanyahu (and catastrophic failing of pro-Gaza activists who accepted the narrative) is to equalize “support for Israel existing” and “support for genocide”.

      Yes the flip side is also true even on Lemmy. Opposition to states built on ethnic cleansing and genocide isn’t bigotry against the ethnic group involved.

      The number of times my comments have been called antisemitic or even banned is insane.

    Periodic reminder for any children in the room, being jewish and the religion and history of judaism are “one” concept. Israel as a specific country with laws, streets, courts etc… is a second concept.

    Two concepts, not one

      Correct. Conflating anti Zionism with anti semitism is a shield to protect Israel from scrutiny.

      Whoa there buddy, distinguishing Israel from an entire religion that spans the world is anti-Semitic!

    Zionists are pretty much modern nazis, straight up killing children on purpose because “they will grow up being terrorists”, dehumanizing innocent people, it’s fucking sad

      I saw a video last night of a father holding the severed torso of his maybe six year old daughter. She was cut in half by an Israeli bomb. How even 20% of Europe can still support this slaughter is beyond me.

    I’d be more surprised if it wasn’t. Literal genocide is not a great look.
