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"?
I didn't ask you to denounce Palestine. I asked you to denounce Hamas. There is a difference you know.
Sure, I'll denounce Netanyhu and whatever politcal party he's the leader of. Denouncing millions of people I won't do though, because that's a hateful thing to do. I wouldn't denounce Palestine or the Palestinian people either.
So once again, can you say the words "I denounce Hamas"? You denounce millions of people but you can't denounce a politcal movement? Why can't you straight up denounce Hamas which is politcal group that intentionally murdered children?
None of those things are the same. Israel is not the same as it's government or its people. And neither of those are the same as Jews, semites, or Judaism.
Still can't say the words "I denounce Hamas" can you?
I just have to assume you support the killing of Jews, even when they're children. That makes you pro-genocide. You have no moral high ground here.
Go ahead and rationalize your hatred of millions of people if you want, but at the end of the day you are incapable of denouncing a group that kills children. Probably because you're more worried about the social pressures of the hate group you're a part of than having morals.
Unbelievable
