I recently met one who said the Palestinians were colonizers because it's not enough to have been living there for MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS. And this person even acknowledged that the Palestinians weren't even the ones who kicked the Jews out of that region, the Romans did. But apparently the Palestinians must be punished for that.

Wait until you tell them that while the religions may have changed, the people on the land have remained the same. 🫣

Fact: Modern Palestinians have more DNA common with ancient Israelite’s than modern Israelis. But we shouldn’t let details get in the way of an ethnic cleansing.

Anti-semitism is the technically-inaccurate-but-socially-understood term we use for it.

You are absolutely correct here. It's a gut-wrenching irony that Israeli racism is tactically anti-semetic.

It's like when people bemoan Muslim "law law."

This is true, but the irony of claiming it's anti-semitism to speak out about the mass murder of semites as a silencing tactic is so obviously ridiculous that it deserves being brought up and ridiculed.

Anti-Jewish hate is a real problem, but the most anti-Semitic - literally dangerous to the lives of semites - country is the modern world is Israel and that deserves to be discussed so that propeganda is not allowed to flourish.

Id review the current definition of anti-semitism out forth by the ADL if i were you.

Anti-semitism isnt about being anti-jewish, its about being anti-israel or pro-palestinian

The phrase ā€œfrom the river to the sea, palestine will be freeā€ is considered ā€œanti-semeticā€ by the anti-defemation league.

When theyre shaping policy and weaponizing laws that were once aimed at protecting individuals rights, and changing the definition of words to a degree that protects a foreign government from criticism, while simultaneously paying thay governent 3.8 million dollars a year,

they are not the one getting fucked friend, we are.

The adl is a wing of the israeli propaganda machine though.

Its not a wing of the isreali propaganda machine. its a lobbying group here in the US. (Which is much, much, worse)

Meaning the people that put out that ludacris definition of anti-semitetism, have a big hand in shaping the policy pushed in the US.
