I choose to believe these are rage-bait and false flags. Otherwise, multiple someones managed to learn a language with so little introspection and contextual understanding that I'd have to downgrade them to an LLM.
"well, if the shoe fits"

Well, the shoe fits.
"Global antisemitism on the rise". Is that because Israel turned genocidal against the Palestinians?
If I was a non Israeli Jew, I would be PISSED at Israel for that exact reason.
I won't say the same of Israelis, because looking at the percentages who are pro leave no Palestinians alive, they seem too much like a blood lusted cult to care about the opinions of.
And yes I know the Palestinians feel the same way, but the party with the bigger stick matters and always shoulders the burden of wielding that stick responsibly, and Israel has no interest in that.
As a non-Israeli Jew I will confirm, I am very very very fucking pissed not just because they have made the world less safe for me but because this poison of national narcissism has used our trauma as a tool of evil. I can't participate or be near my own culture anymore which was once a deep comfort for me who's last memories of many of my late loved ones being our shared religious ceremonies. The name of Israel on my lips in prayer now sours the kiddush wine.
Well said.
More specifically it's because Israel and its allies are running a successful global campaign of conflating opposition to its genocide with antisemitism, which, in turn, normalises antisemitism, which, obviously, harms Jewish people everywhere.
I still agree with the “Jews against Zionism” crowd who take great offense to the idea that anti-genocide is the same as antisemitism. Because that seems to insinuate that genocide is linked to Judaism, which in itself is a pretty antisemitic idea.
why the fuck would I ever listen or subscribe to a subreddit know as r/israel
fuck net-nannny-yahoo
I actually want to watch Superman now, and I will 100% assume this genocidal US ally is a stand-in for Israel and appreciate it all the more for it, because the shoe certainly fits.
Fuck Superman. The US just as complicit and don't tell me this movie is some rebellious act. This is a major corporation co-opting a message to move units.
(No offense, just tired of all the marketing that's getting passed around)
Pretty soon even Schindler's List will be "anti-Semitic" for these people...
The whole “calling out Israel for genocide means you’re antisemitic” line is so worn out and honestly just exhausting, this post made me laugh!
My parents watch PBS Newshour and are very anti-Israel because of what they're doing to Palestine. One night, PBS ran a piece about how Israel's PR was labeling any criticism of Israel's action as "anti-semitism" and my folks were naturally incensed by this. The very next night, PBS ran a piece about the statistically increasing occurrence of anti-semitism in the world - without any discussion of just the possibility that much of that increase is due to criticisms of Israel being labeled as anti-semitism. My parents, of course, were then incensed about all the anti-semitism.
Israel has spent like 4+ decades trying desperately to associate criticism of israel with antisemitism. And the world has complied, Hell its now a crime punishable by decades in prison just to support Palestine in the UK. Gotta wonder how Churchill hasnt lept out of his grave and started cockslapping motherfuckers.
Netanyahu also used to have a penchant for comparing people who refused to gargle his fucking balls to Hitler, in a blatant attempt to shame people into Israeli compliance. Hasnt done it so much anymore, Probably because descriptions of Hitler and his actions would rub too uncomfortably close to what Netanyahu and Israel are doing now a days.
times are shitty indeed.
I wonder how actual nazis see this kind of shit: do they feel validated and think "haha they were always criminals" or are they pissed because (so far at least) israel can bomb kids and camps and hospitals and schools and food lines over and over and over again, angry that nazis faced consequences for their crimes, eventually?
Israel has spent like 4+ decades trying desperately to associate criticism of israel with antisemitism
yup
It only hurt jews those false accusations
"they're showing a country of mostly white people invading and brutalizing a defenseless country of brown people which is clearly about Israel-palestine"

The "if you're criticizing Israel then you are an antisemitic" argument is getting really really old and fucking tired.
I have never in my life had any issues with anyone who is Jewish just because they are Jewish. Nor will I ever. But I have serious issues with the state of Israel committing war crimes on a daily basis and expecting not to be held accountable.
100%, fuck the country of Israel, the people leading the country, and the people hands on murdering civilians. Death to the IDF.
They're mad that they're identifying with the genocidal, colonizing villains of the story?
I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.
"If the shoe fits"... So maybe sit with your thoughts a bit longer to a logical conclusion instead of jumping to social media to dump your little thought vomit.
if anti-israel statement counts as anti semtism, then look at whats happening in Palestine.
@IndustryStandard That shoe fits like it was made for him/them, by a cobbler of old. Interesting that he recognised the parallel so quickly.
Well, if the shoe fits.
Andor is just one such example of this.
This shit is why I joke that every work of fiction needs to end with the protagonist staring directly at the camera and explaining what the audience is supposed to take away from it, 1950's style, because people are too stupid for subtlety. Yes, yes, very clever to name the site of a genocide "G[horman Pl]aza," and have a character specifically emphasize the word "genocide" in a Senate chamber, but StrikeEagle784 sees all that and goes, "Wow, cool lasers" without understanding anything about anything.
Now, imagine if Andor ended with Cassian taking a seat and saying, "Hi, I'm Cassian Andor, and I hope you enjoyed the show. Were you moved by the plight of the Ghormans and inspired to fight the Empire? Well, just like how the Empire conducted a genocide against Ghorman, in real life, the US and Israel are committing genocide against the people of Gaza. That's actually the reason why that's in the show. Early on, I tried to turn a blind eye to injustice, but I found that ignoring the problem didn't make it go away. This is also true in real life. In summary, the genocide in Gaza is bad and you should do something about it."
Would that be stupid and annoying? Yes. But this is the level of art that we deserve. At least, it's the level of art that StrikeEagle784 deserves.
Like the end of Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. Great speech at the end.

This complaint is such an admission. They can't point to a single similarly between Israel and the bad guys in the movie except, "nation with technology advanced weaponry being deployed against unarmed civilians," and they're not even disputing that that's an accurate depiction of what's happening. It's not like they're saying, "this movie parallels Hamas propaganda." They're saying, "depicting colonial genocide negatively is anti-Israel."
attacking a defenseless neighboring people
They’re so close to figuring it out

Wait, I thought the Jews ran Hollywood and controlled all of the media? How is it possible a movie like this exists?

Yes it is totally Hollywood making Israel look bad, not the shooting caged brown people part.
