If they keep throwing around that word at every criticism, do they not realize they weaken their point a little bit every time. No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt. Israel is Israel’s problem. Destroying effigies of unpopular politicians is a tradition that dates back centuries, get over yourselves you big babies.
It’s gotten the point where one must dig into every accusation of “antisemitism” to see if there’s really bigotry or if someone just pissed off the Zionists.
If one must find out more every time one hears a word, that word’s utility is gone.
that’s the plan.
every time they kill a child on camera and say zionism==Judaism. they encourage people to become antisemitic. they then keep on going killing 1 in six people in Gaza. antisemitism grows. Antisemitic attacks increase, then their propaganda chants how only in Israel jews can be safe (demonstrably false). and get people to colonize new illegal settlements.
Israel wants antisemitism. zionism was always antisemitic.
It just makes me more strongly opposed to crimes against humanity. I still have close Jewish friends and former partners, and they’re all against these genocidal tactics.
I’m trying to start a Bund cell in my town. so far it’s only me.
I’m doing it after meeting some antiwar Jewish people and we tried making a Jewish antizionists group … it was so frustrating, just a handful of white lib women who were complaining how “fuck Israel” is offensive or how “from the river to the sea” made them uncomfortable, or that the logo I designed (included the Palestinian flag) was uncomfortable for them. didn’t come back.
next time I saw them it was in a protest, with me wearing a beanie with said sign embroidered in it (check you local library for a maker space), and a sign that said “fuck Israel”. Burned those bridges. don’t have time for the most milk toast bookclub.
When you find out every single antisemitism statement and law are made to justify the moral of killing, prison, kicking out, and basically genociding the Palestinians people, who are the actual people who always lived there, the words and the laws doesn’t mean anything.
What’s ironic is that you are right - in addition, the idea that one person or one country is the embodiment of all of Judaism is actually the real antisemitism.
There is almost no other context where people pull this kind of nonsense, and if they do, they are usually marginalized as being half-wits. (For instance, dumbass conservatives may claim that criticizing American foreign policy is “anti-white” or “anti-xtian”, but most people, even other cons, tend to treat them like the idiots that they are)
But for some reason, this line of argumentation when it comes to Israel has passed as valid for decades, at least in the Washington consensus.
