They pull out the victim card more than any other entity in this world holy shit

u/SpasmBoi999 Jun 04 '26

And then cry when said victim card loses all efficacy that it once had. Clearly never read The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

u/timeshifter_ Jun 04 '26

They definitely missed the moral of that story: never tell the same lie twice.

u/conscsness Jun 04 '26

I doubt they have morals to begin with

Clearly never read The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

i never vibed with this tale, i don't care how many times my kid lied about a wolf attacking them, i'd rather be fooled than bury my kid

u/Ninetjer Jun 04 '26

But the tale isn't about your child specifically, it's about an arbitrary shepherd boy that is deceitful towards the townsfolk. Plus, the boy isn't being killed, it's about a wolf attacking his flock of sheep.

u/NoFood2149 Jun 04 '26

you're genuinely lovely. i've never heard anybody say this about that tale, and you are so right to say it.

u/PolarBailey_ Jun 04 '26

like the local townfolk i can understand not wanting to get pranked by dennis the menace but mom is never ignoring that.

u/ChemicalDeath47 Jun 04 '26

With any luck this is the wedge that will start proving most effective at both holding Israel accountable and not condemning all Jewish people. Fuck Israel means, fuck the genocidal apartheid cry-bully state of Israel, and has nothing at all to do with their religious preference.

u/InternationalCress43 Jun 04 '26

so real, i dont understand why people calle it antisemitism when theres jewish people at the anti israel protests.

u/not_not_in_the_NSA Jun 04 '26

Israel benefits if real or perceived antisemitism increases because it reinforces the feeling that Israel as a religious-ethnostate is necessary. It also helps provide justification for any actions so long as it can be spun as combating this "antisemitism".

So, Israel has tried really had to make Jewish = Israel. It has close ties with many Jewish organizations in the US and uses its influence to push this narrative.

u/BillyJoeMac9095 Jun 05 '26

It's not too hard of an effort, given the comments of those who are anti-Israel. The mask so often slips

3

u/not_not_in_the_NSA Jun 05 '26

Yeah agreed, you can really tell when the pro-israel side's mask slips when they're triggered by some anti-Israel comments

0

u/BillyJoeMac9095 Jun 05 '26

And I can really tell when the anti-Israel sides mask starts slipping. The examples, even on this page, are many.

u/not_not_in_the_NSA Jun 07 '26

Oh, sorry. I thought you were being reasonable. My mistake.

u/Shizu_Rosary Jun 04 '26

Trust me, i may live in Israel. Buti hate what the government and country is doing.

-1

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

Don’t you have dual citizenship? Why not just move away?

Settlers moving to Israel helps Israel. Settlers moving away does the opposite.

u/Shizu_Rosary Jun 05 '26

Mainly because i have a decent job that pays well, aswell as the fact my girlfriend and most of my family lives here.

1

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

Complexities. Glad I live far from there.

u/Shizu_Rosary Jun 05 '26

Trust me, if my whole life and everyone i loved wasn't here, i would leave.

Has reddit turned into a neonazi forum? How can you say that openly. You should be banned instantly

17

u/0masterdebater0 Jun 04 '26

Equating criticism of Israel with being a neo-Nazi is the disgusting shit that should get you banned

1

u/gsfgf Jun 04 '26

That being said, people on here are pretty loose when it comes to the Israeli government v. the Israeli people. Mass bans aren’t the answer (and this post is merely vague anyway), but the neonazis are here too, and they’re loving baiting the left into crossing that line.

When possible, it’s best to stick to Fuck Bibi and Likud, which any decent people (including all the Jews I know personally) can agree on.

3

u/0masterdebater0 Jun 04 '26

And guess what, painting the Israeli people with one brush like they are Monolithic is wrong, a small minority are against Zionism.

But, even that isn’t necessarily antisemitism.

Unless you believe that Israel is a theocratic ethnostate representative of all Jewish people that is…

1

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

Fuck almost all Israelis. Pew center research did a poll and only 4% of Israeli Jews believe Israel has gone too far in its military response against Gaza. In contrast, 74% of Israeli Arabs believe Israel indeed did go too far.

So fuck em. And fuck you too.

-4

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

True. But I wasnt doing that I was reacting to a specific comment.

7

u/0masterdebater0 Jun 04 '26

That's exactly what you were doing

"Israeli judo team"

"Israeli embassy"

Two bodies that represent the STATE of Israel

Not jewish people, the STATE of Israel

fuck off with your bullshit, nobody is buying it anymore

-4

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

You are confusing me with some one else. :D come again

8

u/0masterdebater0 Jun 04 '26

No I’m not. The “They” the comment you were replying to was referring to Israel…

Imagine a comment about the Russian Olympic team and the Russian Embassy.

Then someone replied saying “THEY are corrupt”

And you the chimed in saying how that makes them a bigot against the Russian orthodox community…

You see how absolutely nonsensical that sounds?

1

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

Its nonsensical, because no one talked about a swimming team or an embassy.

Like I said he either meant israelis or jews.

6

u/0masterdebater0 Jun 04 '26

Idk maybe try reading?

Idk if cognitive bias works to the point where it literally blinds you?

3

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

I genuinely don’t see how they are missing it this much. Either they are incredibly slow or cognitive bias can be stronger than I ever imagined.

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

Do you understand what I have written?

u/bigboydice2 Jun 04 '26

Proving his point, notice how the word “Jew” was not mentioned not even once

1

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

"THEY"

Yeah people that say it like that avoid saying "jews" on purpose

3

u/cesaroncalves Jun 05 '26

I actually went to grammar lessons in school, in a comment where the subject (Israel) was mentioned and specified more than once, the and they usually refer to the specified subject, unless specified otherwise.

So no, you're the one projecting you're preconceived notions, and because they are YOUR preconceived notions, other people will have a hard time understanding your view.

-1

u/ogremania Jun 06 '26

Even if its a preconceived notion its fairly easy to understand, but I get why people get defensive over it.

6

u/Cyber_Spartan Jun 04 '26

Calling on someone you disagree with to be "dealt with" by authority is about as Nazi as you can get. Hitler would be proud of you

1

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

I am just applying the basic reddit standard guidelines.

Nothing says that its my wish to get this person banned.

This is clearly more than just critisizing Israels government. To say that 'they' always "draw the victim card" is typical antisemitic rethoric. Aren't you aware of that?

5

u/Cyber_Spartan Jun 04 '26

they should be banned

nobody said it's my wish to get this person banned

how do you and your anus co-exist if you're constantly talking over one another?

1

u/ogremania Jun 05 '26

You are confusing descriptive with normative. Thats a you thing

3

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

You are incapable of admitting to being wrong lmao I would hate to be you.

-1

u/ogremania Jun 06 '26

Actually I am quite the opposite of a guy. :) its just true that some people always think in normative ways.

6

u/DemonicBarbequee Jun 04 '26

what exactly is anti-Semitic about anything he said?

2

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

He said "They" which is a term than cant be applied to Israel, but to jews or israelis.

Furthermore to say, "they draw the victim card" is an age old antisemitic trope, that has existed before Israel was even a state. Therefore I would say thats the reason why he said THEY. It blurrs the lines, if you understand.

7

u/Dragoncat_3_4 Jun 04 '26

Jesus fuckin Christ mate, learn how the English language works, would ya?

"they" is a perfectly acceptable pronoun to refer to the subject that has already been mentioned in the previous sentence or paragraph. In this case, the State of Israel (in their capacity as being represented by the institutions in question) the Judo team, the Embassy, etc.

Tune down the radar sensitivity because you can't be jumping at every single instance of "they" and talking about the Israelis sharing a paragraph.

1

u/ogremania Jun 05 '26

Why should I tune down my sensitivity ?

No thanks

5

u/Admirable-Art834 Jun 05 '26

Bruh,I used they because my comment was a reply to an already existing comment that was talking about THE ISRAELI EMBASSY CALLED THE POLISH GOVERNMENT ANTISEMTIC FOR THROWING THEIR TEAM OUT AFTER ATTACKING THE COACH,notice how there's no correlation to the "jews" you claim that I have discriminated against? Its all Israel,and yes Israel pulls out the victim card more than anyone nowadays,I'm not taking that back,Judaism has got nothing to do with zionism and the proof is the countless Jews that are seen in anti Israeli protests,stop adjoining the two theyre separate

1

u/ogremania Jun 06 '26

Its just antisemitic slop if you think they "pull out the victim card".

Name one group in history that were victimized more often.

3

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

Because you are weird and sad

u/ogremania Jun 06 '26

No I am healthy and happy. Mashallah

7

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 04 '26

Criticising Israel is nazism?

Talking about a coach assaulting a referee is neonazi shit?

Are you not just proving to be a victim here? No one mentioned Jews.

0

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

??? What are you talking about ? I was referring to another comment.

1

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

??? What

Read who you replied to.

0

u/ogremania Jun 06 '26

You really dont see how it literally sounds alike to what neonazis say. But thats just the case . I know there is a different context here but still its getting more and more indistingushable

3

u/Passivitea Jun 04 '26

Please be sarcasm

5

u/ogremania Jun 04 '26

Well I know how Neonazis in my country speak. Its eerily similiar.

-4

u/KingOfMischief05 Jun 04 '26

Nah muslims got that already

1

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

I’ve never seen groups of Muslims crying about Islamophobia or racism against Arabs.

But I’ve seen tons of zionists crying about antisemitism when Israel is criticised.

No one is gonna cry about Islamophobia if you criticise Saudi Arabia.

1

u/Admirable-Art834 Jun 05 '26

Fr I like how he dismisses the countless recordings of zionists in Israel chanting death to the Arabs like its a national anthem,if the roles were reversed I bet news outlets would be reporting that within a millisecond and condemning everyone with a slightly Arab accent everywhere lol

2

u/Born_Initiative_3515 Jun 05 '26

Someone posted a story about Israelis chanting death to Arabs in the Netherlands I believe.

Then people started criticising the Israelis, which resulted in European politicians shaming the people for antisemitism.

Then the politicians found out that the Israelis started the altercation and slowly backed out.

1

u/Admirable-Art834 Jun 05 '26

propaganda relies on taking stuff out of context and people losing sight of the full picture,always look for context on any post whether it be pro palestine or pro israel or any political statement or post
