1. Committing blood libel by saying I think Israel should be destroyed is antisemitic, regardless of who you are.

2. There are indeed 2 definitions of Israel. One is the nation of Israel, the ancient people, us, the chosen ones, whatever, and the modern nation state, backed by the US, and run by a nut, wanting to stay in power with forever wars for as long as he can.

3. In Jewish circles, yes, Zionism is our right to our land (I disagree with how we got it back, but that’s besides the point), but outside of Judaism, it is the supporting of the nation state of Israel, which isn’t necessarily for good purposes; namely, it is a good testing ground and money pit for the MIC (military industrial complex), with devices such as the Iron Dome, and (like it or not) the billions the US has sent over. Thus antizionism, while Nazis May use it to mean they hate Jews (though they have other avenues), could also be opposition to unnecessary conflict supported by the US

3a. Why do Jews have a unique word? How long has Zionism as a term existed?

3b. Persecution

4. Where have people screamed Jewish genocide in regards to Israel? Provide a real example and not this vague gesturing.

4a. Again, you gotta work on that blood libel

5. Last I checked (which has been a bit), Jumblr was for Jewish people to talk about Jewish things, no?

6. Yes, I am Jewish, my mother is a Cantor.

Is Antizionism Antisemitism? I’d argue it isn’t.

So, first of all, we should establish some facts.

1. Jews are not a monolith

2. Nation-states are not people

3. Governments, while in democratic countries (Israel, US, most of Europe, etc.) represent the people, don’t always do or are what the people want.

Now that I’ve gotten facists to disagree with me already, let’s begin in the 30’s

One of the many campaign strategies used by the nazis to get elected was the blaming of a certain group of people. They used terms like ‘cultural Bolshevism’ and ‘banking elite’ and said the Jews were these groups. Obviously, this is a load of bunk.

But there were some Jews that were in banking at the time. There were probably Jewish communists at the time. But let me ask you this. If there is indeed are a few Jews is the places that literally Hitler said, was or is that representative of all Jews?

Let us turn to the modern day. Israel holds about 48% of the Jewish population, granted. But the US holds like 40%-ish of us. Israel, whether we like it or not, has indeed done some shit they probably could have afforded to not do. They hold a government that is worldwide unpopular, propped up by the forever war the English and Americans started by (let’s face it) making a new state in an extremely strategic area for trade and the like.

But is Israel all Jews? No. We know this, we keep calling for the people to stop conflating Jews and Israel when there is a rise in antisemitic hate crimes, so why do we do it? We keep dismissing criticism of the path Israel is on as antizionist and antisemitic, but Israel isn’t perfect. I ask you, what has Israel done, in the context of the most recent war, that others have also done? Russia would certainly approve, considering they’re doing the same to Ukraine.

We have all heard of the alleged great soldier to civvie casualty rate. But who is our source? Israel? The government that is (1) involved and (2) has a solid reason to lie for their benefit? Israel, backed bipartisanly by the US (point one politician to me in government that criticizes Israel and what they say) has been using a lot of bombs. If they wanted their people home, maybe they could, I don’t know, use the satellite data America would give if they asked? Israel is looking at a tiny, tiny part of even their already small country, and the satellites America has are über powerful, enough to detect 0.5 litres of water per minute, so why can’t they be used to find a person, even the 50 remaining hostages (at last count)?

In summary, anti-zionism is not the same as antisemitism, because Jews are not a monolith and the criticism, even opposition to the actions of a state, don’t necessarily mean that the state’s official ethnicity is being wiped out.

Saying antizionism is antisemitism? Yes, I agree.

After all, we can’t say our Muslim brothers and sisters are oppressed when we criticize Iran or Palestine, so it isn’t with us and Israel.

So, first of all, we should establish some facts.

Woah woah woah you antisemitic loser, Israel and all Jews are the same? Shame on you

i just watched somebody literally say "saying all Jews deserve to die or all Israelis deserve to die is antisemitic. This doesn't make me a Zionist.🤮"

Bestie .... it literally does.

Thats. Zionism means Jews want autonomy in their ancestral homeland which means Israel in today's politics.

How're you gonna keep all the Jews from dying from people trying to kill them if you don't give them some autonomy??? You promise🥺. Fingers crossed?? No cattle cars or gas vans??

I'm so tired. I actually think I deserve to lay flat out in the grass and be cooed at by like Gal Godot or Noah Wyle.

"wealth" means different things to different people. for me it means being able to live quietly and comfortably, adopt a pet, donate to charities I care about, be able to take care of myself in my old age, and eventually leave an inheritance to my loved ones, who will then be forced by the stipulations of my will to be locked at midnight in a Mystery Mansion and solve an elaborate series of puzzles while being mysteriously killed off one by one. and i don't think that's so much to ask

It's so over (got stranded on Mars) we're so back (I can grow food here) it's so over (we left a guy on Mars) we're so back (we've established communication) it's so over (the airlock exploded and the crops froze) we're so back (we've cut down the launch window for a resupply) it's so over (the probe exploded) we're so back (the space program in China has been working on their own probe that can launch in the correct window to get him supplies) it's so over (we didn't tell the hermes crew about a separate possible mission) we're so back (the hermes crew committed mutiny and are now on the way to save Watney) it's so over (we have to remove the front of his spacecraft to get him into space) we're so back (we can cover the hole with a tarp) it's so over (the tarp ripped off during launch and the distance between the hermes and the mav is too wide) we're so back (we can use remaining thruster fuel to course correct) it's so over (if we do this we'll be going too fast) we're so back (we can build a bomb and blow up part of the station to slow us down) it's so over (there's still too much distance between the Hermes and Watney) we're so back (he poked a hole in his suit and flew to us like iron man)

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.
