My line has been, and will always be:

The most antisemitic thing you can say is that Jew = Zionist.

It's not racial to be a sociopathic genocidal monster bent on control and domination.

Indeed.

Claiming that criticism of Zionism is anti-Semitism is claiming that the things that Zionists do are typical Jewish things to do. In other words, that it's a Jewish trait to:

  • See themselves as inherently superior to all others not of their ethnicity
  • Be extremelly racist, especially towards Muslims
  • Think that those born in specific ethnicities are "vermin"
  • Violently attack those of ethnities they see as "vermin" for no other reason than their ethnicity
  • Steal from those of ethnities they see as "vermin"
  • Calously murder civilians of ethnities they see as "vermin", including purposelly murdering children
  • Rape civilians of ethnities they see as "vermin"
  • Starve to death civilians of ethnicities they see as "vermin"
  • Commit Genocide
  • Run child sex honeypots for the purpose of gathering kompromat

and more.

In summary in light of the acts openly commited by those Zionists who have the power to freely act according to their ideology and the support of other Zionists for those acts, calling criticism of Zionism anti-semitism is the same as saying that the Jewish People as a whole are basically modern day NAZIs with different ubermenschen and untermenschen than the original NAZIs.

In summary, conflating Zionistm with the Jewish People as a whole and thus implying that being a Jew is to think and act similarly to NAZIs is indeed

The most antisemitic thing you can say

One thing however needs to be made clear however:

Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.

Why does that need to be your first concern? I dont know think accusations of anti semitism are particularly importtant in light of everything else going on. Someones feelings got hurt? oh no, lets stop talking about the murder of journalists and aid workers and get right on that antisemitism thing, because thats somehow got to come before everything else.

People lose their livelihood over antisemitism and the zionists know this and use it as a cudgel.

Genuinely this.

The label antisemitic has been so sullied its unrecoverable, get in line and be discriminated against by bigotry like everyone else. You aren't special.

Saying "Jew = Zionist" is like saying "German = Nazi".

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

85% of Jewish people support the continued existence of Israel. So you're less than 15% right about that, but you're not completely wrong.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Jewish or Israelis?
