All the Jewish people I know are emphatically against the genocide of Palestinians. So are they antisemitic or am I antisemitic for knowing them???

"She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred," the organization said.
Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel's efforts on climate action.
"Sadly, Greta's hatred of the world's only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. ..."
Well would you look at that: they make no distinction between demanding the university cut ties with Israel, "hatred for Israel", "hatred of the world's only Jewish nation" and "vile Jew-hatred". So for them there's no gap between asking for pressure to stop Israel's active genocide and hating all Jews. It's so absurd and such a blatant attempt at political gaslighting they don't deserve to be taken seriously.
It's a pretty standard technique of ethno-Fascists: the Zionists, just like the Nazis did, claim to represent an entire ethnicity and then cast any criticism of them and their ultra-racist Genocide as being criticism of that ethnicity they claim to represent.
And this is hardly the only propaganda technique Zionists and Nazis have in common: most of the tricks the Zionists use are pretty much Nazi shit with just the names of the ethnicities, places and nations replaced, down to how a lot of what the Zionists claim about Palestinians in Gaza being pretty much what the Nazis claimed about the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.
TIL all Semites are in Israel's government.
Someone should tell them that speaking out against war crimes and genocide isn't antisemitism
Speaking out against Isreal is antisemitic...
But also: ThErE aRe ArAbS iN IsRaEl So ThEy ArEnT rACiSt!
Ok... So if Isreal isn't entirely a Jewish state then being critical of Isreal is NOT equal to being critical of Jews right? Right?
Oh of course it is! Logic doesn't apply here!
I hate this world...
The Olympics were cool but the mental gymnastics here are far more impressive
They'd have taken gold by just standing there and explaining their logic to the judges.
StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
I'm doing a ton of sleuthing, and I can't find one article detailing any efforts Israel has made to curb climate change.
In fact, Israel's attack on Gaza has resulted in emissions from the first 120 days to exceed the annual emissions of 26 individual countries.
But all those murdered innocent civilians won't be creating any more carbon emissions. Did you factor in that enormous factor?
(/s, morbidly)
"Zionist genocide whitewashing group StopAntisemitism has been named antisemite of the week by Everyone With a Goddamn Brain"
The one thing that makes me most certain that criticism of israeli actions in gaza are warranted is how any form of discussion is labelled "vile hatred" immediately.
I know propaganda exists and i really hope some things get exaggerated or are made up, but no sane person or government would react like that to legitimate concern for civillians.
accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
Israel's genocide campaign has been horrible for the environment 🙄
Greta just keeps getting cooler and cooler.
"Crime is bad"
"Wow hate black people much"
"Uhhhhh wtf nobody mentioned black people but you dude"
"You're a racist who hates black people, you just said it yourself!"
That's that 2024-level dialogue we've all come to love.
Ah yes, because when I think "Nazi" I think "peaceful protester", not "nation state bombing civilians in occupied territory".
These antisemites are implying that all Jews support genocide. That’s pretty fucked up.
The more pro-Israel people call everything that doesn’t match their beliefs antisemitism, the less antisemitism means to everyone else
Yep. Prior to last year if person X told me person Y was antisemitic, my opinion of person Y would have dropped.
Today? It's about a 33% chance for each of X, Y or both being pieces of shit.
It's such a shitty landscape right now.
Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?
The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.
And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.
Antisemitism is not being against a war perpetrated and perpetuated by a jewish nation.
Anti-semitism? how is that possible, I hate Israel, the most violent Anti-semitic nation on earth.
Is society ready to admit that Jews don't get a free pass to do whatever the fuck they want anymore clinging to the Holocaust as an excuse?
Its not even "Jews" most Jews are understandably opposed to genocide, its just israel.
Being against Israel and its Genocide is as much anti-semitism as being against the Nazis and their Genocide was anti-white.
"antisemite of the week" why does this sound like something that came out of an edgy nazi forum, and not from a group against antisemitism?
"It's OK, I'm Jewish."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Do anything you want, all the time."
🙄
Israel maybe has Judaism as its state religion, but that doesn't make Israel Judaism. Does Israel really think people are that stupid?
I wonder how long until the woman I met who is actively in the process of converting to Judaism gets labeled a rabid antisemite for her radical stand of “loudly proclaiming that she and many other Jews oppose the genocide against Palestine”.
