Maybe you should not only be concerned with one type of bigotry and not another? Just from an equity standpoint?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm concerned with the one causing genocide at the moment, how about you? One seems to be a bit more unchecked and the other seems.to be the buzz word for anyone who dares to question Zionism.

I'm not as stupid as to believe that bigotry and hatred towards jews doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

American Jews are not causing genocide. But it's telling that you are accusing us of it.

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

No where did they say anything about Americans...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's literally what this article is about. Antisemitism in America.

But Jews are not causing genocide. Israelis, most of which are Jews, are the ones responsible for the genocide.

Jews in the other 194 countries in the world aren't generally taking part.

Would you say a Chinese person born in Belfast was responsible for the genocide of the Uyghurs? Is a Muslim with Saudi grandparents born in Tokyo responsible for 9/11? Of course not.

Less than half of the world's Jewish population is Israeli.

I'm much more concerned about unchecked Zionism...

And yet that's what the reply was too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So they added an off-topic whataboutism so they could get up on their soapbox? Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I thought you were joking but they've tripled down now

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. And then you suggested it was still Jews and not Israelis that are committing genocide, so thank you for proving my point above. It doesn't matter how much I am against Israel or how much work I've done with Jewish Voices for Peace. I have a big nose and curly hair and no foreskin and that's enough.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where did I say jews are committing genocide?

Its only Israelis and rabid zionists causing the issues but I have a massive problem if you think I'm trying to say the jews are doing it

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay, if you didn't mean Jews, why did you say this when I talked about American Jews?

Because it sure looks to me like you're saying Jews but not American Jews.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently it's not obvious that includes Jewish people in Americans

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes, I know you're saying American Jews are not causing genocide.

What you are implying is that Jews who are not American are causing genocide.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Okay now you really are reading into it too far.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Israeli jews are causing genocide with support of some foreign volunteers but that's a negligible %

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That may be, but that is not what was said.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What you are implying is that Jews who are not American are causing genocide.

How is this implication is incorrect

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because there are 195 countries, most of them have Jews in them, more Jews live outside of Israel than inside it, so saying that Jews who are not American are causing genocide is blaming a whole fuckload of people who have probably never even been to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Us and Israel cover about 80-90% of Jews in the world.

I think about 6-7m each

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

And that other 10-20%? Also committing genocide?
