Israel accuses Mamdani of antisemitism on first day as New York mayor

Or the Israeli and American citizens who empower them.

We should know that israel think of extrrminating Palestinians

I honestly take this more of confirmation that he's a good guy.

That’s antisemitic.

/s

Probably half of my social circle are practicing Jews or come from Jewish families. Not only do none of them support Israel, but most of them are vastly more ferocious in their criticism than I am.

They're really speedrunning the whole "Our entire diaspora hates us." thing.

Also, Arabic is a semitic language, so doesn’t that make islamophobia a form of anti-semitism?

It would if most Muslims were native Arabic speakers. They aren't, though. The biggest Muslim populations are in Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Iran. Of those, only Iran has any Arab people at all, and they're a small minority.

it also encourages anti-semitism against jewish by neonazis and further cements that belief, and also stereotypes of jews.

The joke of American politics is that we really are rife with antisemites, but they're very friendly with the Israeli lobbying coalition.

Why pro-Israel lobby group Aipac is backing election deniers and extremist Republicans

It's become routine to see Zionists and White Nationalists holding hands together at CPAC, TurningPoint, and the Conservative Climate Leadership Conference.

Imagine a bunch of John Birchers doing photo ops with Xi Jinping and making ritual visits to Beijing, to praise Mao, because they think it will Own The Libs. That's the state of American partisanship.

Of course! The CCP is often at pains to point out any criticism levelled towards them “hurts the feelings of the Chinese people”.

yes, and CCP constant sabre rattling about taiwan is pretty much "sinophobia" as well.

mostly thanks to people who call everyone else anti-semitist too

That's exactly why we should care. Diluting the word puts all Jews in greater danger, even the ones who have nothing to do with the genocide.

B..b..but isn't Doctors Without Broders a terrorist organization

The point is to outlaw collective action, forcing people into less effective unilateral action. Same reason unions are regulated.

They can weild it all they want, but with each use it's sharpness wears off.

It's not. If the West becomes too dangerous Jews there will for the most part have no choice but to go to Israel, giving them more bodies for their fascist project. This is not a bad thing for them as long as they can count on support from Western antisemites.

1/2 are true nazis, who would like nothing better than eliminating jews, the other is only supporting them because of AIPAC/ and defense contractors, plus many UNIVERSITIES have ties to israel too. MIT is probably the biggest offender, in haivng a pipeline to israeli /weapons/tech development.

charlie kirks main sponsors was israeli backed billionaire.(i think candace owens pretty much calling out that too)

I know. You can't make this shit up.

I'm glad my poor old dad isn't alive to see this.

Edit: I mean, I wish he weren't dead, but this would upset him greatly.

Authoritarians lie and are hypocrites. Without cheating/gaming the system, they are not popular policies.

I like the term "facels" because other than the ones with money and power, they are mostly basement dwelling virgins.

It means whatever target of Israel is doing something correctly and will be remembered on the right side of history.

ISrael labels everyone anti-semite for not defending them, basically the "oprah" of calling people antisemites.

I think this is a non event.

Mamdani has been publicly stating his opposition to the Israeli occupation for years. Israel's government has been accusing him falsely of antisemitism since he became known. And the NY press has tried to rattle him over it since Israel began attempting to smear him, with no effect.

This is like holding a press conference to announce that the Berlin Wall has fallen. Yes. That was the state of affairs yesterday and the day before, and presumably will remain so tomorrow.

This isn't something anyone needs to or will react to.

Correct. https://bsky.app/profile/hunterw.bsky.social/post/3mbhyhk2egc2e

Trolls or bots?

you idiot, it's "if a pope falls in the woods does he make a sound"

IIRC the courts in Australia ruled that it’s not inherently antisemitic to criticise the Israeli government.

BUT — reverse uno card — it found that conflating the actions of Israel with the actions of Jewish people can be antisemitic.
