singling out Nettanyahu and saying that he will is not antisemitism.
Saying that all Israelis naturally will is however.
nobody thinks israel is going to break the ceasefire because they're jewish. they think that because of israel's well-documented history of repeatedly breaking ceasefires.
If you think that about the current government, yes.
But he explicitly said that Nettanyahu would be arrested. Which would mean a new government.
And if he says that any new israeli government would break it, it is.
I don't even know how to respond to this, it's that fucking ridiculous.
Soon simply criticizing a Jewish person will be anti-semitic to people like you.
That isn't the case and you know it.
If I say "south Africa will always be a corrupt Shithole", is that not racist?
Saying that they're all the same in a negative way.
If South Africa has been a corrupt shithole for 10 years, it doesn't somehow magically become not-a-shithole because the president changes.
The potential for it to become not-a-shithole is there. It is not somehow magically fixed because one person is changed.
I can't fucking believe I have to explain this shit, Jesus christ you people are the reason no one understands why Biden isn't responsible for inflation.
And i can't fucking believe that you know how a government works.
If you swap the people responsible for things with other people responsible for things, these new people will act differently
Is that that hard to understand?!
Btw, Biden and Inflation can't be compared here, since inflation is a complex problem that is largely out of the hands of politicians. Just look at china. It has absolute political power, fighting Inflation is a priority target, yet they still can't do it. Why? Because inflation is a Economic Problem, not a Political one. To quote you:
Israel's genocide of Palestinians did not start on Oct. 7th.
Expecting Israel to abide by ceasefire agreements is like expecting the US to abide by treaties with native tribes.
Maybe... But I believe they were talking about the Israeli state, which isn't just being held hostage by one deranged man.
Maybe not as bad as Netanyahu, but there are plenty of conservative death worshipers waiting in the wings to take his place.
I imagine plenty of progressives too, but I worry not enough
If you believe that Palestine is part of Israel, then how is it anti-semetic?
is that what i believe though?
or did you just make baseless assumptions?
Israel seems like a pretty antisemetic country to me:
