How exactly is this antisemitic?
“…though he did so with the use of further antisemitic tropes by suggesting that the U.S. and NATO campaign against ISIS had been “manufactured by Israel.””
Being against the fascist government of Israel is now antisemitic. It’s the mask the fascists are wearing. They’re abusing everyone’s intolerance of antisemitism to push their imperialist agenda.
Clearly you haven’t read Leveraging white guilt over the Holocaust to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity with impunity by Benjamin Netanyahu
Accusing Jews (and Israel as a proxy thereof) of sinister machinations behind-the-scenes is a hallmark of antisemitism; particularly when those claims are demonstrably false.
Don’t get me wrong; Bibi and his buddies have a lot to answer for, but blaming Israel for the US invasion of Iraq and the conflict with ISIS, who came to power as a result of the US invasion of Iraq, is some of the most blatant bullshit that can come out of the mouth of someone who is supposed to be an expert on counterterrorism.
Israeli people are free to start a revolution any day they feel the government has overreached its welcome with the genocide in Palestine and killing civilians in Iran.
That’s like saying that anybody who criticized Nazi Germany was “against the Arian Race”.
In fact, that’s exactly what the Nazis used to say.
Funny how so many of the things Zionists say and do are a lot like the things Nazis said and did…
Except that’s not what I’m saying.
Two things can be true at the same time:
There is so much that one could criticize Israel over that I won’t even pretend to be able to list it all. But this government counterterrorism expert blaming Israel for “manufacturing” a conflict that his own government had the greater hand in creating is either stupid or disingenuous. Either way it shows where his heart lies.
To Zion, antisemitism is just their catch phrase when in fact they mean you can’t be anti Zionist. Oh you don’t like it when we genocide an entire people and kill millions. You must be antisemitic!!! I guess we need to kill you too
Fuck israel
And as we noticed, Israel equating anti zionist with antisemitic made a number of people shrug and go “guess I’m antisemitic now.”
If I were Jewish I’d be livid if people kept lumping me in with the state of Israel.
Jews have literally been called “anti-semite” when they criticize Israel.
Was on my way to post exactly this. This semantic overloading of the term antisemitic will lead to jews in other countries dying, mark my words.
