Anti-genocide and anti-apartheid ≠ antisemitism
TIL criticizing a government is exactly the same as being racist towards its whole nation.
“Free speech is when you’re not allowed to say mean things about Bibi, it hurts his feelings!”
I don’t think you are making anyone more empathetic towards your goal of killing civilians so you cna have even more stolen land.
Honestly, by now I think YOU can be blamed for anti semitism. By being a literal asswipe of a combo of fake religion, inbreeding and TERROR.
Curious what religion is not fake in your opinion?
The flying spaghetti monster of course!
Im definitely not in favor of ho Israel does it but criticism of that was never forbidden, forbidden was to “question” Israels right to exist as a country. And doing that is indeed antisemitism
Oh and im anti theist in general. I want to abolish all religions because you can see what they do.
Both the wording of the rule and the use of the rule was very clear that this was about all criticism of Israel unless it’s “criticism” like “Israel doesn’t do enough to protect itself”.
That “guideline” is hate-speech and genocide-apologism in it’s most cynical form because it is disguised as anti-discrimination. The people who proposed and implemented it should be ostracized.
No country has a right to exist.
Being anti-colonialist is forbidden? Is it antisemitism because this time the colonizers claim to do it in the name of Judaism?
There is a fine line, however, restricting the ability to criticize genocide is not a good thing— unless people consider Palestinians as subhuman, subanimal, which we acknowledge some do.
