Feel free to report antisemitic comments, but antizionism isn't antisemitism and acting like it is is antisemitic and will net you a ban starting once this comment is posted.
Reporting borderline stuff will not get you banned but as someone who had family at auschwitz I'm tired of blatant antisemitism in defense of a settler colonialist apartheid regime.
Hall of shame:
@ElMemerino@lemmy.world
There's a difference between antizionism and antisemitism. Just as there's a difference between Israel and Jews.
Blame Israel, it's anti Israel. Blame the Jews, it's antisemitism.
Also any expression of support for the Israel led genocide of Palestinians or any sort bigotry will not be tolerated as per Rule 3.
Thank you.
Antisemitism explicitly refers to hatred of Jews, it's a weird linguistics thing but its why when referring to antisemitism there isnt a dash (anti-semitism) as that would specifically refer to all semites as a whole (which palestinians are). It has roots to the specific phrase that was used in German to refer to hatred of Jews.
Don't attempt to explain my own peoples hatred to me. I know more than you as I've lived this, as a Jew who is explicitly not a Zionist and has faced antisemitism online and offline. Stop.
That doesn't make you an expert bud, it does mean you're not willing to see the forest for the trees though or I dunno read.

You need to read about this dude and hierarchical bigotry that was especially prevalent at the time rather than using your feelings and personal experience to explain something that has existed longer than you and I combined.
