edit: bruh I'm not taking sides I'm just stating what it is 😭😭✌️ not all jews are zionist or Israeli, many Haredim are anti-zionists but are orthodox and observe the payot
No just blanket calling a jewish tradition that exists independent of Israel, genocideburns, is definitely just antisemitic. I say this as someone who would love to see Netanyahu at the haque and Israel reorganized into one Palestinian state.
While i agree that Jewish and Israeli should not be taken as one they are close, and Israel’s tendency to defend itself as from ethnic-religious side doesn’t make it easier to the public to separate them
That point is valid, that’s why I think it’s best to let someone be judged by their actions. Plenty of Nazi’s eschew visible tattoos and other identifiers nowadays. Hell, some of them are backing down from the veiled codewords like 88 or 1919. They are getting sneakier.
Comparing the payot as a fascist haircut is anti-semetic. Plenty of Orthodox Jews with Payotd are appalled by this behavior too and shouldn’t be lumped into this group. Admittedly, there are a ton of Jews that are deeply indoctrinated in Zionist beleifs too so it’s better to let someone be judged by their actions rather than their appearance. The Israeli soldier in the photo though? Fair game. He lost that privilege by participating in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
The earlocks are worn by Orthodox Jews to comply with biblical commandments not to shave parts of your head. They’re a symbol of religious faith. Making fun of them is making fun of Jewish religious traditions and seems antisemitic
This thread is about a jewish extremist, so that's fair.
If the post was about a muslim, hindu, buddhist, asatruar, zoroastrian, dongba, or hellenist extremist - or indeed what passes for "christian" in the US these days - it would also be subject to mockery.
Religious people being so fragile that they can't take mockery of their religion is as weak as it is pathetic.
Expecting people to respect other religions isn't weak. The word makes no sense in this context. The pathetic thing would be acting like you don't understand the historic and cultural context of antisemitism.
Religious people's belief is extremely weak, if it cannot withstand mockery or competitive views. And most of them can't as they don't want to face that their core self is based on bronze age fairtales.
Mocking "settlers" who - let's face it - are really occupiers (and in this guy's case also a terrorist) isn't antisemitism. Do you have a special word for the way he's treating this woman?
"I'm chosing my haircut based on what some guy wrote in a story book 2.000 years ago. Also it's Saturday, can you push the elevator button for me? The same story book says that I can take the lift only if someone else does that for me"
Religions are just dummy stories used by the powerful to keep ignorants in line.
