Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Jews Are NOT Oppressed: The Myth of Systemic Antisemitism (tariqacknickulous.substack.com)

Prominent media and institutional voices often cite explicitly pro-Zionist sources without critical examination. Organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and American Jewish Committee (AJC) in the U.S., the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) and Board of Deputies of British Jews in the UK, and the World Jewish Congress (WJC) and European Jewish Congress (EJC) in Europe are advocacy groups that use the pretext of combating antisemitism to advance Zionist agendas. These groups frequently commission surveys and reports claiming a global “rise in antisemitism.”

I see what you're getting at and I think it's a valid point.

That being said, Jews are targeted by the same types of people leftists organize against. Sure, maybe there isn't a proper systemic oppression of Jews in western mainstream politics. But there is in under ground fascist politics and in mainstream middle eastern politics and ideologies.

The nuance is that it is going to get worse for the average Jew regardless of their own politics because of the actions of western imperialism and Israeli Fascism. So I will continue to acknowledge the exists of antisemitism and it's effects in hopes of maintaining a nuanced safe space for Jewish comrades.
