    If it is antisemitic to simply describe what the soldiers are doing, then the actions themselves are antisemitic.

      I wouldn’t call it antisemitic

      However, it is deeply disturbing and unethical and Israel is desperately covering up by any means necessary

        Well, maybe in the original meaning of the word. Most Palestinians do speak a Semitic language. The word usually now mean anti-jewish though.

    No, you know what’s anti-semitic? Defiling your ancestors by being a fucking genocidal Nazi.

      They’ve been riding that “if you __________ you’re antisemitic” horse really hard lately. If they keep over using it they’re gonna eventually run out of sympathy and ruin it for the people are rather more in need of it to fight actual antisemitic bullshit, including themselves.

        They’ve got to remember there’s been a lot of 1488 types about who have just been waiting decades for their views to go mainstream again.

        And this dipshit is going to make it happen.

          The extreme-right population is divided on this.
          A lot of oldschool fascists still hate ‘the jews’.
          However plenty of them support them (the zionists), and all of their leadership organisations and parties do.
          Now it’s ‘the muslims’ who are the new scapegoat.
          And after all zionism and fascism were always good friends.

    Netanyahu says it’s antisemitic

    Learn a new trick, fuckface. This one doesn’t work anymore. People are going to start responding to accusations like this with “so what?” because the word has been watered down to such a ridiculous degree that it is no longer meaningful.

    And that’s really dangerous because it provides cover for actual antisemitism against Jewish people.

      It makes perfect sense if it’s a hate religion, and it’s willing to turn on it’s own people to continue the hate at any cost.

      Yeah. It makes sense. It just doesn’t make sense to you, because you’re not viewing it through the viewpoint of a sociopathic religion.

            I, as a random Jew, am not responsible for the actions of the Jewish terrorists in Israel, or any other Jew for that matter. Just like a random Muslim isn’t responsible for the actions of Hamas. It’s pretty insulting to suggest otherwise.

            Nothing they are doing has any connection to Judaism. Other than bullshit lines Israeli officials say, that also align more with particular kind of Christianity, utilizing kinda augmented Jews’ role in it.

    Well I would argue Netanyahu is the head anti-semitist since by over using this word he has destroyed any weight that it carries. It now has effectively become a joke.

      I think he’s antisemitic because he’s carrying atrocities against Semitic people. Arabs are Semitic people.

        The real irony of all this is that the people being genocides right now in Gaza have a much closer genetic relationship to the actual human beings who wrote the Torah than those who are genociding them. We’re watching the actual descendents of the ancient Israelites being exterminated right now.

    It’s so sinister. Latching on to the real history of blood libel to not only reinforce the idea that liberal media lies as a matter of routine, but to simultaneously use that reinforcement to build up the idea that liberals are either secretly antisemetic or too led around by the nose by propaganda to realize their antisemitism.

    Of course it’s deeply antisemitic for netanyahu to do this. It’s also going to be extremely effective.

      I think it actually trivializes the allegations made by the IDF solidiers because the substance of historical “blood libel” myths seem almost gentle by comparison of what is actually going on. Baking bread with the blood of the occasional child would hardly even be noticed among the on going horrific carnage.

      The religions throw around antisemitism like it’s a catch phrase. Don’t forget ‘islamophobia’.

      It’s all just stealth blasphemy laws. “Don’t talk bad about our hate religion, or you’re a bad person”. That’s what blasphemy laws are, and they’re illegal for good reasons.

      Why the fuck you’re doing a pointing game with the word ‘antisemetic’ is beyond me. Sounds like the typical christian “they’re not real christians, only I am!!!”

    He’s really milking it…

    Kinda reminds me of Stalin. That too was a man driven by hate.
