The Israeli government is murdering children and committing war crimes, and they're upset about what The Onion has to say about it.
They are targeting the press, they really care about public opinion
They're also full on slaughtering the press too.
So a rundown of what they're doing
- Killing 2 civilians for every 1 Hamas
- Killing children (50% of Gaza is under 18)
- Killing journalists
They're 100% correct Hamas needs to be wiped out because Hamas wants Jews to not exist, but goddamn the ends to not justify the means.
They've lost the fucking plot.
Mark my words anti-Semitism is going to continue it's crescendo and it's 100% because of the IDF and that asshat running Israel.
Reminds me of that time Winnie the Poo got mad at some random child making fun of him on tiktok
That looks like a private organization.
The ironic thing is, conflating any and all criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism could be argued as anti-semitic itself, because to suggest that jewish people in general and the Israeli state/military are one in the same such that criticism of the later is also hateful towards the former, is also to suggest that jewish people as a whole are responsible for the actions of Israel.
As cultural groups as a whole are inherently unable to be guilty of crimes (since even if a large number of people belonging to one commit some crime, such a group will also contain members that cannot be guilty of it, like young children), but states and similar entities, being organized and capable of decision-making, can be, then any attempt to link the moral culpability of a state and that of a cultural group is inherently to apply unfair accusations to that group, and thus hateful to it.
I’m going to start doing this now lol
Edit: pointing it out**
I think a big part of it, here in the US, is besides all the post WW2 sentiment, a lot of folks here in the bible belt literally think they are God's chosen people, and so whatever they do is right by God, no matter how terrible. I recently showed up for jury duty and was speaking to a lady there about her son who had joined the Marine Corps. and thought he might get deployed, and she said, I shit you not, "At least he'll be fighting for God's people".
I've seen antisemitism. I've been in online communities that slowly devolved into rat caricatures and conspiracy theories about how Jews are out to destroy the world. So I know that modern antisemitism persists and is a thing to watch out for. But it's not antisemitic to admit that Zionist Israel is butchering innocent people because they want to claim all of Palestine for themselves, and that the west is too weak willed to do anything about it for fear of being called antisemitic, or going against "God's chosen people". That's not antisemitism, it's an objective, observable fact.
The even bigger issue is the Bible Belt is those moron’s reading of Revelation, which has them thinking Israel has to control Jerusalem for the rapture to happen.
That’s actually a requirement?
Do they have to hold up the Holy Grail and yell out “Jewmanji”, too?
Bro can i just say that i fucking hate that anti-semetic is even an argument used when someone demonstrates support for Hamas? it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.
I think there is a very good argument of antisemitism if you support Hamas. There is no argument for antisemitism if you support Palestinians.
Who the fuck supports Hamas? It's an actual terrorist organization that's oppressing people in Palestine
You would be surprised. Some people are fucking insane.
You're telling me that you haven't seen those green headbands at 'peace rallys'? They're at every one I've seen on the news. Including the one where they attacked Santa LoL.
Those are Hamas flags. Dunno what that could be other than support.... they're rocking the merch.
Colloquially yeah it makes a lot of sense to say Hamas is antisemitic, the word means hatred for Jews regardless of the etymology of 'semite'. Take it up with marriam-webster, not the people correctly using the modern definition of the word
Hamas Charter, excerpt.
16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.I guess that would make Israel anti-Semitic as well.
it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.
Oof, either you're just grossly misinformed and performing a cringey "ackchually", or you're anti-semitic yourself and perpetuating anti-semitic rhetoric.
While yes, both are Semitic people, the term 'anti-semitic' was specifically coined by Nazi Germany to make their genocide seem like it had a basis in science. They specifically used it to refer to Jews. Nobody uses "anti-semitic" to mean all semites except hate groups and holocaust deniers who are trying to say "see, it doesn't even mean Jews specifically! Jews are just playing the victim!"
I will assume you're simply ignorant or misinformed, but feel free to correct me if this was actually an intentional dog-whistle.
Due to the root word Semite, the term is prone to being invoked as a misnomer by those who interpret it as referring to racist hatred directed at all "Semitic people" (i.e., those who speak Semitic languages, such as Arabs, Assyrians, and Arameans). This usage is erroneous; the compound word antisemitismus (lit. 'antisemitism') was first used in print in Germany in 1879[17] as a "scientific-sounding term" for Judenhass (lit. 'Jew-hatred'),[18][19][20][21][22] and it has since been used to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment alone.
Golda Meir once said "After the Holocaust, Jews are free to do whatever they want".
Since then, Palestinians have been paying for the crimes of Nazi Germany.
Best take on this. A lot of Jewish people said “we must never let this happen again,” but some motherfuckers took notes.
The scary part is they very much may just do that. NSO Group is based outta Israel, it's honestly terrifying. The man has much larger balls than some may realize.
Just do what? It sounds like you're saying they'd hurt the journalist but the only context available makes it seem like you could be talking about the onion headline.
Edit: Did a little reading, fuck they're scary.
NSO is apparently quite formidable in terms of hacking as well, to the point where apple actively sued them: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/apple-sues-nso-group-to-curb-the-abuse-of-state-sponsored-spyware/
What're they gonna do? Fail to gather basic intelligence on him before he invades their country? Oooh he's so scared
and so is zipoapps
The battle cry of abusive assholes, worldwide!
...did he get his prize?
if anything, it was probably a death threat.
Should've snitched on himself for the prize
Astoundingly based
wasn't that the account that was posting all sorts of transphobia right before oct 7th and they switched?
i assume the anti semetism account right?
yeah not elias :)

The genocide will continue until morale improves
Thought this was gonna be a Bill Maher meme at first.
