I wish we could say the same about Israelis.
Not all Israelis support netanyahu or the death/colonisation. Even if maybe the majority do.
Too many do, unfortunately.
Same for Americans. There are some good ones in there.
Actually Canadians are from a completely different country
Israel’s democratically elected right wing government.
They violate human rights, it doesn’t really matter to me if they are elected.
Im saying its not just the government to blame, the people of israel are also responsible.
The jewish population in israel is in a better position to effect change than the loudest voices anywhere else
And most of them happily endorse the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. We need to oust the Israelis as the fascists they are and make it clear that they do no speak for Jews in general and their fascist ideology is in direct contradiction to the values of Judaism. I am most worried for and most impressed by the few Jews in Israel that fight this fascist regime and get attacked and in return by it, while the West proclaims to stand for the fight against antisemitism by supporting the abuse of Jews who stand up for Jewish values.
And opposing those actions is not antisemitic.
We take those two things together as truth and we are getting somewhere.
It’s when that “criticism” is coupled with demands for Israels destruction and the ouster and/or murder of All of it’s Jews, then yes it is antisemitic. You show me a live “protest” against Israels actions, on film, anytime in the last 10 years, and I will make you wind that video long enough to show the From the River To the Sea, and Hamas banners, and the Jews are the New Nazis, in EVERY SINGLE “PROTEST” THAT HAS HAPPENED AND IS HAPPENING NOW
If you’re divorced from the reality of the antisemitism at the heart of the terrorism Israel has suffered, and are divorced from the antisemitism at the core of the Israel “protests” you’re only kidding yourself, and anyone who truly cares about peace
demands for Israels destruction and the ouster and/or murder of All of it’s Jews
From the River To the Sea, and Hamas banners, and the Jews are the New Nazis
These are not the same thing.
The current right wing government also doesn’t represent every citizen of Israel either, but it is ok to use ‘Israel’ as a shorthand for the actions of the current right wing government when the actions are a continuation of decades of similar colonialism and the government is in power due to how the majority of the population voted.
So hatred against everyone in Israel is also wrong, but saying Israel is committing genocide doesn’t require saying it is the current government.
This meme should say “The actions of Israel does not represent the will of all Jews,”
Edit: I expect everyone who down voted also refrains from using Russia, China, or the United States and other names of countries when making criticisms for consistency. “Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, the current Putin led government did.”
I really wish this didn’t need to be clarified every few days. Thanks, zionists and white supremacists!
