You're now admitting that Israel is a Jewish state despite trying to claim otherwise for this entire thread.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Israel is doing horrible things, but it doesn't deflect from the fact that "death to Israel" is antisemitic.
Well, they aren't coexisting now. Sorry, can't go back in time. We solve problems of today because it is impossible to make things the way they once were. And which "European colony" are you referring to? The Jews? I thought this wasn't about them? Dog whistle.
But by your own logic, I thought a government is different from the major racial/religious group of its people? We can't say it was Islamaphobic just because the people there tend to be majority Muslim, right? We'd need other context, like... above.
I never said that Palestine doesn't have a right to resist its occupation.
You've taken this argument far away from "death to Israel" not being antisemitic because you're trying to argue that Palestine should exist. I'm not saying it shouldn't, but it doesn't make you not antisemitic.
I've only responded to you a couple times, and all I said is that Israel is not all jews, does not speak for all jews, and is a genocidal ethnostate.
Saying death to an ethnostate does not mean death to the people in it, same as death to america doesn't literally mean all americans should die.
This isn't that hard.
One of those parties is a colonial occupier, the other an occupied people resisting state violence. I can support one and not the other.
Death to Israel is not antisemetic, because despite the europeans wrapping it in the trappings of jewishness, it isn't all jews, doesn't speak for all jews.
Israel systematically disenfranchises non-jews and sterilizes non-white jews.
It does when civilians are being killed.
Your support for Palestine doesn't make "death to Israel" not antisemitic.
Just because Israel doesn't represent all Jews doesn't absolve you of antisemitism for wishing death upon Israel. It is majority Jewish, and just above you have stated that the problems are all caused by the "European colony" of Jews. You're mad at Israel because of those Jews, but not the Jews you like? This was common Nazi apologist rhetoric under Hitler.
Fake ass settler state getting defended by the bigger fake ass settler state.
Occupied people can resist occupation by any means necessary.
No. You can't start killing civilians just because other civilians or their parents or their grandparents or or their racioethnic group or their government have taken land that belonged to you or your family's ancestry or your racioethnic group or your government.
What a convenient opinion for an American to have lol
You're parked on a mountain of corpses on stolen land saying that might makes right
I haven't done that at all, but you equating me with my race/country does further demonstrate your racism. Thanks.
You haven't done it, but there's you defending Israel doing it.
Did I ever say that what Israel does is right?
No you just showed up to tone police people resisting settler violence, and act obtuse about what words mean. How are you a native speaker??
If "tone policing" is calling out "death to Israel" as antisemitic, then sure. Call me the Tone Police Chief. I'm not the one acting obtuse about what those words mean.
I would love if the state of Israel ceased to exist. Death to America.
Your words don't scare or hurt me; they just make you sound ignorant.
I'm not the one trying to all lives matter the genocidal ethnostate
Lmao, "Death to Israel" is not the same as "Black Lives Matter," unless you actually DO mean "White Lives Don't Matter"
And, once again, two wrongs don't make a right.
You, like many settlers, seem to conflate the death of your settler state with your personal death.
I haven't settled anywhere.
When Hamas is killing Israeli civilians and saying "death to Israel," I'm not conflating anything.
Israel and America kill civilians constantly I can't believe you're pretending like you care as an American if you can't even call for an end to your own government.
You live in a settler state and are defending another one.
I'm mad at Israel because of the genocide it is predicated on.
Non white Jews have been sterilized there, it's got far more in common with the Nazis than any other state besides America
Is saying "death to america" fatphobic?
No, but it does make you a stereotyping asshole, the same kind that might wish death upon a racioethnic group for the actions of a government
No I'm wishing death on the fake ass settle states whitey.
Then you should be more specific, racist.
Mayofrog I was specific.
Also you're the one defending the racist ethnostate
Just show your racism even more
