I am not anti-Semitic because people should be judged by their choices, and nobody can choose their race.

But god damn does the Israeli government make it hard to shut up actual anti-semites when they keep doing this shit

We should stop sending them the billions of dollars that we've been sending them every single year for decades and decades.

This has been so weird to witness in real time.

[–] BackOnMyBS 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I hate myself for being alive and unable to do anything about it. I'm just here witnessing it without any opportunity to change it. We really should have organized years ago before Trump was president so that we could fight against this madness when it eventually came up. We're really fucked.

Honest question from someone not in the US: How does the Republican Party square the circle of having a big contingent of their supporters basically hating Jews while also supporting Israel?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

They don't bother trying to square it. Hypocrisy is a given with the cons.

Pushing the return of Jeebus and hasten the Apocalypse

Israel moves Jews from America and makes them fight brown people in the middle east. It's perfect in every way for antisemitic folks.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Not the same as government meddling, but Israel also attacked an American ship during the six-day-war and killed 31 people aboard her. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

But the meddling is only Russian (according to MSM)

[–] chatokun 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Explain to me what you think the MSM is. The screenshot in this very post shows the New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and a 4th presumably main stream media organization demonstrating Isreal's meddling.

Do you not believe those to be MSM? If not, define it right here, and not the way that idiot Owen Shroyer kept messing up in his deposition.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How many times has any of those said Israel is meddling with the US elections? And how many times has been about Russian meddling?

[–] chatokun 2 points 7 months ago

Moving goalposts I see. Your comment says only, not one more than the other.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is demonstrably not true.

[–] Aceticon 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I think the point is that the MSM does not describe the Israeli meddling as actually "meddling" whilst they do describe Russia's meddling as such.

The way in which events of Israel influencing American politics is reported seldom if at all carry the tone of disproval that is carried by that very same newsmedia's reporting of events of Russia influencing American politics, not even close.

I mean, if the same moral weight was being used for both, the Democrats For Israel and Republicans For Israel groups in Congress would be described in the same terms as any Democrats For Russia or Republicans For Russia would, either outright calling them "traitors" or implying it.
