Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'
-
Israeli prime minister Golda Meir said she’s a Palestinian.
The use of the word Palestinian changed over time. Before the establishment of Israel Palestinian was often used specifically to refer to Jews living in the holy land. Lots of Jewish founded institutions like airlines, newspapers, sports teams, orchestras were named Palestinian. They changed their names after Israel was founded.
The Arabs used Palestinian as their national identity only after Israel was established. The Palestinian identity as we know it today coalesced in the 1960s.
Before the British Mandate for Palestine, the Arabs in the region tended to identify as Syrian.
-
That comparison betrays your ignorance of history and present and is blatant antisemitism.
-
A Palestinian shooting Palestinians because he mistook them for Israeli Jews would have been just as terrible and sad.
-
Antisemitism only has ever meant hate for Jews. Playing semantics like you do, is only used by the ignorant and antisemitic to deflect.
-
If you start with the premise Jews are evil, you just lump them with everything else you consider evil. Skin color is just one of many categories of convenience.
-
I just hate that whites include so many assholes. I hereby secede Scandinavia from whites. We shall be known as nords. I'm not gonna stand for what these hypnotised power crazy narcissists are doing any more.

Zionism is the international policy uniparty position of the American government. Quite literally, over our government is Nazism for thee but not for me.
-
What about identifying the fascist nature of zionism is antisemitic, in your mind?
-
"Welcome back, we will continue with the sweet sweet noise of alligator cloaca in just a moment, but now let us visit our sponsors over at the Elderly Alligator retirement home."
-
It’s Holocaust denial.
-
Ignoring the fascist nature of Zionism is is ignoring the holocaust that is currently occurring? Fuck out of here.
-
It's not antisemitism, it's anti-Zionism. And accusations of Zionism being fascist aren't new.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IrgunAn extract: 'Albert Einstein, in a letter to The New York Times in 1948, compared Irgun and its successor Herut party to "Nazi and Fascist parties" and described it as a "terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organization".'
But what would a genius German Jew who escaped the Holocaust know about fascism, right?
-
The Irgun were legit far right terrorists and committed atrocities.
Here’s what Einstein actually said about Zionism.
Long before the emergence of Hitler I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong....The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as a people, though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has...Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination. Through the return to the land to which they were bound by close historic ties...Jews sought to abolish their pariah status among peoples... The advent of Hitler underscored with a savage logic all the disastrous implications contained in the abnormal situation in which Jews found themselves. Millions of Jews perished... because there was no spot on the globe where they could find sanctuary...The Jewish survivors demand the right to dwell amid brothers, on the ancient soil of their fathers.
If we wait until the Great Powers and the United Nations fulfill their commitments to us then our Palestinian brothers [i.e. the Jews in Palestine] will be under the ground before this is accomplished" and "On the destiny of our Palestinians [i.e. the Jews in Palestine] will depend, in the long run, the destiny of the remaining Jews in the world. For no one respects or bothers about those who do not fight for their rights
Albert Einstein was a socialist labor Zionist, which was the mainstream of Zionism back then.
Einstein left Germany in 1932 before the Nazis took power. His nationality was Swiss, not German.
To you Einstein is just a token Jew to use for your campaign of hate. You don’t give an actual shit about him or the Holocaust. They’re only tools to fight against Israel‘s existence. It’s the vile face of contemporary antisemitism.
-
Nice Holocaust denial you got there. What’s happening in Gaza is terrible but not like Holocaust.
-
That's an incredible claim. How is it holocaust denial?
-
You can't just call everything you disagree with holocaust denial. Doing so is holocaust denial.
-
Uhhhhhh no it's not. There is nothing about believing that Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people (they are) that prevents someone from simultaneously believing that the holocaust happened and was just as bad as is commonly understood (it did and it was).
It's like saying that accusing me of being a thief is denying that time I was robbed.
-
Not really used as a term anymore outside of anti-semite meaning anti-jew
But yes, they are both in the Middle East
-
Pretty sure that’s still just nazism
But Zionists are fascist

"Them wiggly letters, they must be terrorists!"
