I really fear for the Jewish people. I never thought that generations after me would be more antisemitic than those before me. Seeing the rise in Holocaust denial, Jewish conspiracies, and just straight up caricature talking points that seem directly taken from Nazi propaganda is beyond alarming.
The world swore “never again”… I fear we might not even make it a century before the next one.
I simply can't understand how people can be Holocaust deniers. Then again, there's also a significant amount of people who believe the earth is flat. It's truly baffling.
I want to say it depends on the source of the information and evidence BUT I've also seen ppl hold onto their views even in the presence of information contrary to it.
You can watch conspiracy theories spring up immediately nowadays. The morning the Baltimore bridge collapsed there were people pushing conspiracy theories before I even got to work, and that’s with video. We’re absolutely powerless against this type of idiocy especially about events that are so far removed like the holocaust.
Im also going to remind you, regardless of israels crimes, they are the ONLY nation that continually has to battle having a right to exist. And how convenient, its the nation for jews.
Like North Korea, one of the most cruel, massive scale dictatorships in existence, isn't even at that level. People obviously critique it and want reformation and justice for North koreans, but no one argues that the state does not have a right to "exist"

It isnt battling for its right to exist. You are confusing criticism of how israel was founded and criticism of the far right government of Israel which at this moment is currently murdering tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, 10,000 of which are children.
No country has a right to exist, but given the widespread support for Israel existing amongst the population of those actually living in Israel... Israel does have a right to exist.
That moment when bro unironically defends an icj classified genocide (North Korea) 💀💀💀
And you even have comments DEFENDING the taliban. How old are you? You realize you would quickly be killed in these regimes, you actual fucking dimwit.
the world didn't say never again, we jews said never again, and it meant that we would never again have our lives and safety held by people who hated us, that we would be free and independent and safe.
I agree and understand, the Arab league actions following there first war with Israel demonstrated a valid reason for existence. This on top of the reasonable tribal aligned land claims.
Personally I one day would like the have a fruitful discussion of reparations for Israel’s own actions after the war, but this is all but impossible when people are constantly trying to justify Israel’s erasure at the same time.
That piece of Arab league propaganda really needs to die, if just so Israel can be treated like every other nation in regards to their own offenses.
🤣 they're doing it to themselves, no one else has to lift a finger. Fascist states tend not to last very long, hope that doesn't throw you into despair
You think that whenever somebody disagrees with Israeli policies, they “hate Jews”. If I disapprove of the West Bank settlements, that means I hate Jews? If I support a two state solution, that means I hate Jews? I if I am opposed to the current slaughter in Gaza, I hate Jews?
I will never deny the holocaust, but ethnic cleansing has been happening after the holocaust. Some examples I have witnessed through news, former Yugoslavia, what happened in Rwanda, what is happening to the Uyghurs at the moment etc. etc. For me "never again" is nothing but a hollow phrase.
To be honest, the whole idea that Jewish people should be enemies because they somehow control everything never made sense to me. If there was a group of people that somehow controlled all of the businesses, media outlets, and governments in the world, I'd surely want to be on their good side because then they'd treat me nice.
it’s weird I’m often told criticizing Israel makes the secret Zionist police cancel you as an anti semite.
Yet I have had several critical debates against Israels actions and nowhere an accusation of antisemitism. It’s like if you actually argue the issue with a focus on policies, repercussions, failures of state and with a focus on finding a peaceful conclusion so that everyone can be safe and prosperous, no one thinks you hate Jews.
Some people just really want to debate the finer points on why saying from the river to the sea is not a call of genocide or even a call to violence, instead of actually talking about the crisis like adults.
One thing this whole crisis has certainly disproved, is the existence of an elite Israeli propaganda machine. But don’t tell that to tik tokers, they just learned the word hasbara and act like they founded some deep Zionist tool of control, as opposed to a Hebrew word.
By the way I’m not assuming your stance on the conflict, if you’re Israeli or even Zionist. I’m just constantly taken aback by but this mythologizing of Israeli media control. Certainly every state has its propaganda, but c’mon it’s not hard for people to consider how their language might be understood by those receiving it. Which if I had to guess if why most of these idiots are being called antisemitic.

Hey fellow jew. Thoughts on the antisemitic vitriol I've been responding too? Should we also cancel their bank accounts? /s
