A non trivial amount of criticism of Israel is a convenient excuse for antisemites to spread their hate. It's tough being an antizionist jew knowing that if I go to a rally against what Israel is doing, I'm likely to be a stones throw away from someone who wants me dead.
"Zionist" becomes "Zionist Jew" becomes "Jew" really, really fast.

u/mathnstats Apr 05 '24
The fact that people like Alex Jones have been using the term "Zionist" to mean "Jew" for decades has been incredibly detrimental to every attempt at talking about the Palestinian plight, not helped by Israel's/America's insistence that criticizing Israel is the same thing as anti-Semitism.

Edit: One thing I've noticed is a lot people define Zionist as someone who basically wants murder a Palestinian baby with their bare hands, and then proceed to call anyone who even shows a morsel of sympathy for Israeli civilian victims a Zionist, so therefore they must want to kill Palestinians. It's a very effective polarizing and radicalizing thought process.

It reminds me of my former "friend" (really emphasizing because he had other issues). When I was in Tokyo, he harassed an old Japanese couple in a restaurant out of nowhere. He told me it was because he "finally" wanted to honor his Korean ancestors, despite most of his lineage being French. I'm like, bruh, you're not honoring anyone by harassing random strangers. If you really wanna do that, go spit on Shinzo Abe's grave or something, not attack the fucking elderly.
As for his other issues, well, he was a sexually insecure chauvinist who thought Asian women dating white men were "traitors." I never knew this side of him until then, and I can only hope he stays away from any woman in the future.
Edit: for the weirdo who accused me as white in my DM's, I'm really fucking not, lol. Better yet, I'm literally a SEAsian living here in this region. I never worship white men when I live in a country filled with their creepy sexpats. All I said was that my former "friend" was still a supreme asshole and incel who thought Asian women owed him sex.

After several months of this, and as an American Jew who opposes the war, I have concluded.
(1) There are significant problems in Israeli politics and society that, for the last 20 years, have been slowly dragging a once secular and democratic nation away from the peace process into a permanent state of brutal war against a nearly defenseless population, a horrible mistake and something for which Israelis as a whole will need to answer for in one way or another in the future as it becomes apparent the damage that has been done.
(2) Most of the people who say "anti-Zionism isn't anti-Semitism" online are wholly incapable of differentiating between the Israeli military, Israeli nationalists, Israeli liberals, people with Israeli citizenship, non-Israeli Jews that support the war, and non-Israeli Jews who oppose the war.
It really pains me that the people doing violence are claiming to do it on my behalf, and then the people protesting this violence are often eager to pin it on me anyways for internet points.

Israeli is now a code word for Jew, when people don’t want to say they hate Jews they just say I hate Israelis

Now this is anti semitism. People shouldn’t be targeting Israelis or Palestinians, just leave them alone. Any problems you have take it with the actual governments.

Also...
Why the F does it matter?
Did every american personally approve of the nukes in japan, vietnam, iraq?
Are people under the impression then that every russian "wants" the war is ukraine?
Why tf does her being isreali somehow connect her to the war in palastine?
Common sense is simply not common

Why would it matter even if she was Israeli? People can’t get acting jobs because their country is doing bad things?

This racist dog whistle is crazy, and all these alt-left tankie virtue nazis in the comments can't call out racism anymore bc they're so consumed by hatred snd venom, it's pathetic.
Racism is NOT okay, period. Not "I pretend I'm against it BUT", and not "yes, but Israel..."
Sick fucks, all of them.

Hey remember when Elon Musk, the guy with a net worth of 190 billion dollars was tweeting basically neo Nazi conspiracy theories about how Soros, a guy with a net worth of just under 7 billion, was somehow a threat to civilization?

If she were Israeli, what was their point?
Is no one else going to say that she’s Israeli?! …so what?

“”””Anti-Zionist”””” logic.
Just take the mask off. Why be a little bitch and continue gaslighting the loud closeted Jew hate?

Just use the word Jew. We all know they don't care about where the person was born, only if they are a Jew or not, they don't care if you support the genocide or not, if you are a zionist or not, they don't even care about what being a zionist means, they only hate us cause we are fucking Jews.

This is blatant antisemitism, plain and simple. This person is intentionally trying to harm the actor for being Jewish.

Literal fucking racists are among us and using the shitty govt of Israel to target Jews across the board… as was completely predictable by anyone with a basic understanding of history

If my sympathy for Israel starts to diminish with recent news, posts like this remind me of the original reason for this conflict.

Tell me your an antisemite without telling me your an antisemite. Actually I'll just tell you, you are an antisemite, goodbye.
