Israel isn't all Jews, doesn't represent all Jews, and it's legit antisemitic to say that it is.
You are the one sounding antisemitic.
The state of Israel is a genocidal ethnostate, that is the context for the tensions. Israel kills way more Palestinian civilians every day, and has been long before October 7. Before the European colony arrived, Jews, Christians and Muslims co-existed in Palestine.
This is a bit of a nonsequiter. The US is islamaphobic, and the Iraq invasion was criminal, informed by chauvanism, orientalism, and islamophobia, but it's hardly the equivalent of an occupied people resisting that occupation.
May they all be free from the river to the sea someday.
I've only responded to you a couple times, and all I said is that Israel is not all jews, does not speak for all jews, and is a genocidal ethnostate.
Saying death to an ethnostate does not mean death to the people in it, same as death to america doesn't literally mean all americans should die.
This isn't that hard.
One of those parties is a colonial occupier, the other an occupied people resisting state violence. I can support one and not the other.
Death to Israel is not antisemetic, because despite the europeans wrapping it in the trappings of jewishness, it isn't all jews, doesn't speak for all jews.
Israel systematically disenfranchises non-jews and sterilizes non-white jews.
Fake ass settler state getting defended by the bigger fake ass settler state.
Occupied people can resist occupation by any means necessary.
What a convenient opinion for an American to have lol
You're parked on a mountain of corpses on stolen land saying that might makes right
You haven't done it, but there's you defending Israel doing it.
No you just showed up to tone police people resisting settler violence, and act obtuse about what words mean. How are you a native speaker??
I would love if the state of Israel ceased to exist. Death to America.
I'm not the one trying to all lives matter the genocidal ethnostate
You, like many settlers, seem to conflate the death of your settler state with your personal death.
Israel and America kill civilians constantly I can't believe you're pretending like you care as an American if you can't even call for an end to your own government.
You live in a settler state and are defending another one.
I'm mad at Israel because of the genocide it is predicated on.
Non white Jews have been sterilized there, it's got far more in common with the Nazis than any other state besides America
Is saying "death to america" fatphobic?
No I'm wishing death on the fake ass settle states whitey.
Mayofrog I was specific.
Also you're the one defending the racist ethnostate
