    It’s clever propaganda.

    Not only does it smear the protests, it terrifies Jews into migrating to Israel.

    … well it used to. I don’t think the propaganda is hitting the same anymore.

      Right?? I am anything but antisemitic, but I dislike the way Isreal handles its conflict.

      But media portrays it as such. But not being jewish I don’t know how the issue handles for them in their private life.

        Judaism isn’t a nationality or an ethnicity. It’s a religion. Jewish people don’t have any reason to ‘handle’ what’s happening in Palestine any differently than anyone else UNLESS they’re a fascist.

          Perhaps in the United States.

          However, while being Jewish is a religious identity, it’s also an historical, ethnic, cultural, and experienced identity. e.g: There are many Jewish people who’ve never practiced Judaism that still identify as such to themselves and by their societies, and not just the Euro-American ones.

      … well it used to. I don’t think the propaganda is hitting the same anymore.

      I’ve wondered about this lately. Can any Jewish people living outside of Israel comment on what they’re seeing among friends and family about trends in rates of emigration to Israel over the past few decades? I’m particularly curious as to how gen-Z Jews feel about it.

    Do they even realize how many Jews are in the streets WITH the protestors? If someone said they were doing a genocide for MY benefit, I would be disgusted. And why weren’t they asking this question every time western fascists like Piers Morgan or Paul Watson open their mouths about “inferiors”?

    Westoids go from giggling about how hilarious Adolf Hitler was for doing a genocide against Jews, but them are the first to give out lectures on antisemitism when someone takes issue with a bunch of kapos trying to exterminate Muslims.

    How are Jews meant to stay in the U.K.?

    Like they normally do.

    Although fascists like her should immigrate to Israel by trying to swim the English channel

    I shouldn’t be, but I’m constantly surprised by the amount of mask off anti-Semites who keep repeating implicit or explicitly that “Israeli=Jew” or “Zionism=Judaism” (both of these are incredibly anti-Semitic. In fact I’d argue that Zionism IS anti-Semitism made into an actual, actionable ideology as opposed to just pure bigotry ie “here, we cleared a land for you. Now, go! We don’t want Jews here! [in US and Europe, etc]”)

    Don’t you know it’s anti-Semitic to not actively celebrate genocide?

    How are Jews pro-zionists meant to stay in the UK?

    I mean where else are pro-zionists supposed to go? You think THIS is bad, just wait’ll I tell you how many more people are protesting genocide and persecution in Palestine itself!

    I really really wish every time I see an idiot like this that they’re a bot, but some of them surely aren’t. It makes me irrationally mad to think how fucking detached from reality you must be to say shit like that in public (or in the internet at least)
