    Go actually look at the .ml worldnews community. There is full mask off “death to Israel” shit all over the place.

      “Death to Israel” is also not antisemitic. Jews are not Israelis and Israelis are not Jews. I am not an Israeli. I have no ties or allegiances to Israel, nor do I want them. I think “death to Israel” is an extremist viewpoint, but not an antisemitic one.

        Depends on who’s saying it, but not necessarily an anti-semitic phrase, sure.

        When shouted by some dude at a campus protest in a nation two thousand miles away, probably not.

        However, when Hamas or the Houthis say it, it definitely is.

            1: Kind of like saying there can’t be white on white racism.

            2: Only nerds know that Palestinians and Arabs in general are also Semitic.

            It does rather point out how stupid all this irredentism is though. These are ultimately all descendants of the same peoples, killing each other over the same God.
