Jewish Leaders Call for Boycott After Elon Musk's Nazi Salute, Holocaust Jokes

the thing with israel is that it's an anti-semitic state. zionism is an anti-semitic stance. also palestinians are also semitic. it's just… all so dumb

How was your vacation after telling people not to vote Harris?

Right, it's not a genocide, they're simply killing everyone that is living in a specific region. In fact, between the dead there aren't exclusively Palestinians, but also some aid workers, volunteers from western countries and sometimes even their own kidnapped citizens. So it is not strictly a dictionary definition of genocide, rather a "mass murdering of the population".

In fact, I don't see why they're paying billions to Google to place AI on weapons when the algorithms seems to be like "hospital = target" and "if it moves = target"

[idiomaddict@lemmy.world]

They didn’t deny the genocide, but asked why that’s relevant. Jewish people are separate from Israel, even though Israel wants to muddy the waters. It’s like blaming all of Christianity for the holocaust because hitler wanted to put a Christian veneer on it.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

And evangelicals want all the Jews in the world forcibly exiled to Israel because they think that's the only way Jesus will return.

And those motherfuckers better have zip ties and guns if they expect me to put a molecule of my body across the Israeli border.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Oh look, someone who thinks that "Jew" and "Israeli" are synonyms.

As always, no matter where I live, no matter how much I say I hate Israel, I will always be a foreigner and a Zionist.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I'm Jewish. I do not support Israel and I never have. The ADL does not speak for me.

But I'm going to guess you'll call that typical Jewish lies.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Really? You really think that? I know that plenty of Jewish outside of Israel don't support the current genocide of Palestinians, and I know plenty do.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I think you sure as fuck implied it, when you said:

It would mean more if Israel weren’t actively genociding Palestinians.

Why would it mean more unless Jew and Israeli were synonyms?

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Are they likewise condemning the genocide?

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Ah, I see, so it isn't "Jew = Israeli," it's "Jew = Pro genocide." Totally different.

Do you also expect every Muslim to denounce ISIS every time they face bigotry themselves? I bet you don't.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

"Us guys" do not universally support the ADL.

Just like we do not universally support Israel.

Can you guys stop deciding what every Jew supports? I'm getting really fucking tired of both telling people that you're wrong and being told I'm the wrong one back because of my genetics.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Da'esh. They surely were, when da'esh was in the news.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

You're evading. I didn't ask if they were. I asked if you expected it. Do you? Or are only Jews expected to denounce genocide every time they face bigotry in your view?

[maeve@kbin.earth]

No. I don't expect any decent behavior from anyone, but the United States administration should apologize for creating conditions that caused it, and fix it. And these circumstances are actively different, and I will try to be more sensitive. I don't expect you to self reflect, since several people have called your words/reactions out in various threads, but that's no reason I shouldn't.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

What words and reactions are those that "several people" have called out? Go on. Call me a Zionist and prove my point.

Fun fact: "petit ami / petite amie" means "boyfriend / girlfriend"

I'm not searching for every post. I'll remind you of the post naming lemmy famous people. I think you want everyone to treat you with just gloves because you're fragile and volatile. If not for the other Jewish people I may have come of that way who_aren't_ that fragile and volatile, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. I don't dislike you either, I just know that's who you are.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

You're not searching for every post because you just want to automatically assume someone who tells you is Jewish is a Zionist and just a quick glance at my posts would tell you how wrong that is.

But you've made it quite clear you believe Jew = Zionist.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

We blame every Christian for the crushed, crusades so I hardly see a difference. I painted with words that would have been understood by Christians and he's in my rl community, forgetting that I'm on a world platform where my meaning may be misunderstood, and I'm sorry for that. We just know each other well here and even though we sometimes disagree, we don't always take it personally. I need to be more considerate.
