Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Former US Senator Norm Coleman has raised eyebrows by declaring that “the masters of the universe are Jews” at a major Zionist lobby event in Jerusalem.

“And when you think about it, the Masters of the Universe are Jews! We’ve got Altman at OpenAI, we’ve got [Facebook founder Mark] Zuckerberg, we’ve got [Google founder] Sergey Brin, we’ve got a group across the board. Jan Koum, y’know, founded WhatsApp. It’s us.”

The remarks came as Coleman lamented that pro-Israel propagandists are “losing the digital war” in battle for the hearts and minds of younger generations, and called for more stringent censorship of pro-Palestinian speech. “A majority or Gen Z have an unfavorable impression of Israel. And, my friends, I think the reason for that is that we’re losing the digital war. They’re getting their information from TikTok, and… and we’re losing that war.”

Surely that won't rile up any conspiracy theories

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 35 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The reason for that is the behaviour of the state of Israel and has nothing to do with being Jewish or not.

Yeah..... It's almost like ethno-states are an inherently immoral and dangerous concept.

I feel for Jewish people who do not support the state of Israel, it must be ostracizing and exhausting to fight against the majority of their own people who constantly try to conflate ethnicity with nationalism.

it's not even the majority of us according to most polls. just the most vocal and dangerous

Cunts will never realize why everyone calls them a cunt. The only war Israel is losing is the one for their humanity.

Did he mean that in a good way? ... or a bad way?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 24 points 11 months ago

Either way, it's the bad way. He's saying that a subgroup of people are superior/inferior and that's some nazi shit.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

In a racial surpremacist way

Kinda hard to attack him on antisemitism...

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 11 months ago

super easy, actually. anti-semitism is a philosophy that jews should not be part of general society. zionism is a philosophy that jews should not be part of general society. propaganda for one works as propaganda for the other. the point of a thing is what it does. him saying shit like this fuels hate against people like me
