    Good. Criticising the Israeli government is fine, but straight up calling for a “dark day for Jews” is, in fact, antisemitism.

    He would have gotten away with it in france had he said “Radical Judaism” instead of “Jewish people”.

    That is how right wing parties there get away with racism against muslims. They never explicitly criticize muslims, but the “radical islam” or “political islam”.

    Because an idea can be hated, but not people.

    This Imam is obviously an amateur racist.

      Maybe because nobody has a problem with a muslim just living there life bothering no one. It is when the radicals or criminals uses violence within society that people get upset.

      Stop defending extremism maybe then it will be easier to distinguish extreme islam from normal islam.

    Its funny how those who say they are simply trying to defend Palestinian people always seem to revert to open antisemitism and Khaybar ya yahud chants.

      It’s like having a part of your brain cut out. Like 1/3 of your brain wants to suck Netanyahu’s toes, the middle 3rd disagrees with the Israeli treatment of Gaza and doesn’t think they should be indiscriminately carpet bombing civilians but also understands how fucking difficult a Hamas government is making it to live free from apartheid, and the other 3rd is full on river to the sea bullshit

    The comment was so anti-Semitic that even this sub’s mental gymnastics may struggle to cover for him.
