I’m a simple man.

I see people being nice, I respect them. I see people hurting others I say fuck ‘em.

I'm actually becoming deeply convinced that one of the biggest dangers to the Jewish community is Israel itself.

As things currently stand, they have the power to make people hate Jewish people more than just about anything else in this world.

Not because I'm conflating being Jewish with being Israeli or vice versa, but because that appears to be the message they want to the world to embrace. That is really synonymous with being Jewish.

Look at how quickly right wingers run the world are to jump to calling you anti-Semitic if you don't appreciate something israel does.

Classic antisemitism.

From the river to the sea

Ideally you would do both.

Yes even US Americans are probably just decent people generally. I know it's hard to imagine with some of these countries but we shouldn't forget people aren't their governments.

I take that approach for almost countries, but I have a hard time with Israel because their polls continue to show 80%+ support for the genocide. That’s a huge portion of the population to be irredeemable.

Tbh, Israelis as a whole invite a lot of hate upon themselves by wholeheartedly supporting outright genocide. Public polling there shows a disturbingly large number of even young, secular Israelis advocate for killing everyone in Gaza, including women and children:

That doesn't mean every Israeli or every Jewish person is culpable or suspect, ofc. But I think it's even more justifiable to distrust the country as a whole as it is to distrust the US electorate after re-electing Trump. Netanyahu is corrupt and bloodthirsty, but his policies still enjoy broad support from voters there.

All my homies hate isreal.

I mean at this point half the internet is The Israel Hating Website. The days when anti-Zionism was restricted to leftists and Muslims are long gone.

And because SO many people can't seem to wrap their heads around this concept and keep shouting their ignorance at us I feel the need to constantly yell back at them:

Anti-Zionism is NOT being anti-Semitic or hating Jews or hating the PEOPLE.

Anti-Nazism is NOT being anti-German or hating Germans or hating the PEOPLE.

Anti-Fascism is NOT being anti people or races or religions or literally ANYTHING except the politics/philosophy/actions/behaviors/hate/control/abuse that is fascism.

We are literally ONLY protesting the genocides, the murder of innocent people, the bombing of civilian areas, the abuse and horric conditions, the hate, the racism, the fear mongering, the lies, the gaslighting, the violence. WE ONLY WANT PEACE FFS!!! STOP CALLING US RACIST FOR WANTING CEASEFIRES!!!

Correct. It's just fine to despise anyone who's genocidal, regardless of religion, race, species, genus, phylum, kingdom, etc. Because genocide is bad.

It’s from a vine, details here. Basically a bunch of kids baiting this kid into saying “I don’t care that you broke your elbow”

best i can do is knock-off sci-fi dystopia with a lil taste of broke.
