Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Couple of terms that I need to define.

The Jewish people were given a state with the Balfour Declaration, made by classical antisemitism. He wanted the Jews out of England, so he made a state so he sent them to the holy-land, they didn't want to go to Africa. Truman was another classical antisemitism and became the godfather of Israel. Even the Nazis were trying to send them to the region before they set up the concentration camps. That nation was founded in classical antisemitism. Many antisemitic want as many Jews to move as they can get, they are even willing to encourage classical antisemitism and hate antisemitism to that end. This has been proven by history.

Zionism is a white van distributing candy to unsuspecting Jews. It is a scam. The diaspora of Jewish people enrich civilization. Israel is false safety net for many in the diaspora. In it's current form, that nation only feeds the hate antisemitism, and hurts those of us who like having Jews living among us. I adore the diaspora, but if a nation continues to commit atrocities it needs to be condemned.

Continued support for Israel is direct attack on the Jewish diaspora. Billions have been spent in the flatting of a beautiful ancient city that has seen continued inhibition for thousands of years. No one asked the Jews here or anywhere outside of that theocratic settler colony if they wanted to send additional funds to fuel the genocidal revenge for the escape of a few thousand people who were imprisoned there.

The ADL shouldn't allow "from the river to the sea" to be considered antisemitic. Jews would still be allowed in Palestine if it were free. A call for the abolishment of Israel isn't a call for ethnic cleansing. The changing of a regime doesn't normally destroy a people. Anyone claiming that an attack on Israel is an attack on Jews is profoundly antisemitic, as Israel seems offended by the existence of the Palestinian people, a few of whom are even Jewish. Additionally, by claiming that a call for the dismantling of Israel is antisemitic, they are claiming that Jews are Israeli. This is even more problematic now that Biden is taking from US citizens to give Israel even more weapons to use against the Palestinian populations.

For this reason, we must do a few things. In order of importance:

  • Show unequivocal support for local Jewish people who are not Zionist.
  • ~~Convince the ADL to declare a denouncement of Israel is not an antisemitic.~~ Condemn the ADL for encouraging the confusion of Judaism and Zionism.
  • ~~Advocate for Jewish enclaves or safe spaces with in our own countries, let every country in the world have it's own Israel within it's borders.~~ Advocate for assurances that anyone facing classical or hateful antisemitism can seek asylum in our nations.

Slogan suggestions:

  • Free Palestine to save the Jews
  • End the genocide, from the river to the seaside

I looked into this a bit more, and after coming across this, I see it would be better to remove them.
