CRITICIZING 👏 THE 👏 ISRAELI 👏 GOVERNMENT 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 CRITICIZING 👏THE 👏 JEWISH 👏 PEOPLE. THEY 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 BORG 👏 HIVEMIND.
Yeah, well, I'll stop calling out antisemitism when people stop being antisemitic. There are a lot of antisemitic tropes floating around right now where "Jew" is just subbed out for "Zionist", and people seem oblivious to the nuances between Judaism and Zionism.
Actual criticism of Zionism as a political philosophy is obviously more than welcome, but there are way too many "Zionists control the world and are subhuman" folks out there seemingly immune to criticism in left-leaning spaces because as long as they proxy their antisemitism through the lens of anti-Zionism, the left will reflexively defend them.
The fact that, here on Lemmy, every non-Arab man, woman, and child living in Israel are regularly spoken of as if they are foreign invaders that need to be mass-deported or worse should be enough of a warning sign that at least some anti-Zionists don't actually have their sites set on Zionism, but rather the destruction of Israel and the displacement/destruction of it's people, representing 50% of the Jews on Earth.
Missed opportunity to say BERG HIVEMIND.
Just saving it for you.
