    People who equate criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism are some of the most infuriating people around. I don’t even argue with them, as they’ve clearly abandoned reason.

      I’m still trying to comprehend how genuine white-supremicist anti-semite neo-nazis can support Isreal and froth at the mouth in outrage about attacks on Jewish people. The world has not only turned upside down but inside out as well.

        They support ethnic segregation and like the idea there’s already a place they can send their jewish populations.

          ding ding ding! the existence of a jewish state is not just anti-semitic in the broad sense, it is anti-jewish in a narrow sense.

          • antisemitism: the political position that jews have no place in this society
          • zionism: the political position that jews have no place in this society

        This is how fascism operates. it innundates you with the most insane bullshit until eventually you throw up your hands and leave the table, giving the fascist power over the narrative.

        never think the anti-semites don’t know exactly what they’re doing and all the rest of that quote

        Israel’s foundation depended on European powers wanting somewhere foreign to send their jews.

        It’s the same as it’s ever been.

        The Nazis were human. Despite everyone’s best effort to demonize them.

        There wasn’t anything special about them. Anyone can become a Nazi. Even Israeli.

    I find it highly ironic how much I support Bob Vylan in his lawsuit against the BBC, and support the BBC defending itself from the Trump lawsuit against the BBC.

      It’s possible to support the BBC as a cultural institution without agreeing with every decision made by its current leadership. Those aren’t conflicting values. In fact I’d argue that holding both those thoughts simultaneously is the only way to seek meaningful institutional change, as opposed to the ‘burn it all down’ crowd.
