I wish we could say the same about Israelis.
Not all Israelis support netanyahu or the death/colonisation. Even if maybe the majority do.
Too many do, unfortunately.
South Park's comedic antics will be lost on droves of beautiful souls unless The Critic is rebooted.
Read from Israeli activists like Ilan Papé describe the Israeli society as a fascist supremacist society. they don't care about the right of Palestinians to live freely on their land.
I'm not arguing that what you're saying isn't true, but what does it have to do with OP's post?
I wasn't talking about all jews around the world of course not, but arguing that Jewish people living in Israel and other jews supporting Israel are just as equally as responsible as the state of Israel. you wouldn't even hear a shred of concern towards the Palestinians beings bombed by their own people with their own money.
Participating in the Israeli conquest and ethnic purge absolutely deserves hatred and disgust.
This goes well beyond the Israeli's right most partisan faction and extends to the entire Zionist movement.
Look, taking OP's context into account, it sounds like you're saying that you hold ethnic hatred and disgust for Jews.
I am hoping that's not what you're saying here, but again, looking at OP's meme, and your responses to it and to me, I honestly can't reach any other conclusion.
you hold ethnic hatred and disgust for Jews
Is Zionism an ethnicity? Does that mean anti-Zionist Jews aren't Jewish?
I honestly can’t reach any other conclusion
Reach harder
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that OP said that hatred of Jews isn't justified, and you sound like you are disagreeing.
OP said that hatred of Jews isn’t justified
Conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is a right wing Israel talking point.
I thought we established that we don't like them
It feels like Jews are the ones who need to understand this
Not "Jews", but zionists specifically, who purposefully conflate themselves with Jews as a whole in order to label their opponents as antisemitic.
Everyone should get the chance to prove themselves an asshole.
The jewish population in israel is in a better position to effect change than the loudest voices anywhere else
And most of them happily endorse the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. We need to oust the Israelis as the fascists they are and make it clear that they do no speak for Jews in general and their fascist ideology is in direct contradiction to the values of Judaism. I am most worried for and most impressed by the few Jews in Israel that fight this fascist regime and get attacked and in return by it, while the West proclaims to stand for the fight against antisemitism by supporting the abuse of Jews who stand up for Jewish values.
