Notice how one of the underlying messages of the cartoon is that it's Zionist Karen that is the real antisemite: by deeming that those demonstrating against the killing of children are antisemite (literally: against Jews), she is implying that killing children is a Jewish thing to do.

This is very much the kind of racism displayed by those who equate anti-Israel with antisemitic: they're implying that Israel and its actions are all core Jewsih chracteristics, de facto slandering all Jews including those who disagree with Israel and/or its actio s, so they're the ones who by definition are antisemite.

Zionist != Jewish, sorry. Killing children is something I would expect neozionists to be apologists for, not postzionists.You have a flawed premise.

They meant that Zionists are anti-semites. They didn't mean that Zionism is Judaism, right @Aceticon@lemmy.world ?

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I probably read it wrong, nevermind.

Exactly!

(More broadly, people who weaponize accusations of anti-semitism to defend the indefensible)

Sums it up. Fuck the fascist, genocidal Israeli leadership, and fuck the population of Israel as well because overall they support what is going on.

And fuck US governments and institutions that invest in and fund Israel. Divest! Now!

I don't hate Jewish people, but I am certain with all this bullshit Israel is pulling, the population of people that do is growing.

I don't hate Jewish people, but I am certain with all this bullshit ~~they~~ Israel are pulling (whilst claiming it's on behalf of Jewish people), the population of people that do is growing.

FTFY

Nothing quite like lemmy for that, would be surprised if the troll factory mobilized on reddit's worldnews was beginning to catch on to the troll factories on the other side of the coin mobilized on lemmy. In fact, this being in lemmy.ml, I would normally expect only to hear about pro-Hamas opinions. Guess we'll have to wait to see which comments get removed to see if things have changed or if it was simply just an day off.
