@mcv @Blort@social.tchncs.de @serge@babka.social agree to the point on netanyahus goverental politics. But that wasn't the question. Pointing on its politics on the question if jews are to be saved is antisemitic. he isn't representative of all jews. Most iran representatives are assholes. They are using islamophobia as an excuse for fighting i.g. curds and their regional Power conflicts. Should i for that not say no to antimuslim racism? No: i shouldn't!

@rumpelxd@don.linxx.net @Blort@social.tchncs.de @serge@babka.social Pointing on its politics on the question if jews are to be saved is antisemitic. If you look really closely, it's those politics that are antisemitic; Netanyahu is a very big part of what's keeping that conflict alive, and yet he uses accusations of antisemitism to shield himself from criticism, and suggests criticism is antisemitic. It is not. His muddying the meaning of antisemitism is a threat to Jews everywhere. If you want Jews to be safe, you have to address Netanyahu's politics. He has a long history of undermining peaceful Palestinians, and pushing them more towards extremism. Israel has actually funded Hamas in order to undermine more moderate groups. Demanding that people not discuss this is not reasonable. Asking people to support the safety of Jews without mentioning Palestinians at all, while "the safety of Jews" is actively being used as a reason to kill thousands of Palestinians, is disingenuous.
