Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes, it seems Jews are worried about antisemitism permeating leftism.
What will the response of leftists be?
It will likely involve hating Jews.
Sorry killing kids and medics is bad, mmkay

Zionism is not Judaism
Antizionism is not antisemitism
If you think a non-Jewish Canadian is Israel, then how careful are you about applying the "evil Israel" label to others. How often do you apply it to people for just being Jewish?
Thank you for helping me make the point that leftists use Israel as a cover for being hateful towards others.
I apply it to people supporting the Israeli atrocities, nothing else. I wouldn't apply it to Jews or even Israeli who call out the genocide. Only the genocide supporters such as yourself
I do wonder: Why do you call opposition to genocide antisemitism when it clearly isn't?
If you're opposed to genocide of Jews, I wouldn't consider you to be antisemitic. Hamas committed genocidal acts on Jews on October 7. Do you denounce Hamas? If you can't denounce Hamas, you're at minimum willing to look the other way on atrocities committed against Jews. And that makes you antisemitic.
I've found very few people in the "far left" are capable of denouncing Hamas. They tend to ban me from leftist communities rather than face the question of whether to denounce Hamas. You're not anti-genocide if you can't denounce groups that have genocidal goals. So applying critical thinking, leftists aren't really against genocide if they aren't against Hamas.
Do you denounce Hamas? Will you answer that question or do typical the leftist whataboutism about genocide?
I'm anti genocide generally. No matter who does it. No matter who is the victim. Are you the same? And why won't you answer my question?
Can you say the words "I denounce Hamas"?
Can you say the words "I denounce Israel"?

How very eloquent.
You get the eloquence you deserve. I don’t even consider you human.
Of course you don't. You're in a movement dedicated to de-humanizing people.
There is just as much anti-semitism in the leftist spaces as there are braincells in your skull. Which is to say - not enough to matter in any way.
Aren’t you tired of that old chestnut?
Literally every single post you have ever made on lemmy mentions Jews or hamas. You are a waste of oxygen
