To be disgusted that Iranian dissidents are being branded "filthy Zionists" in London rally

i’m also half jewish.

I really wasn't sure about your earlier claims, not because I believe all Iranians must think the same thing but because to me it read less about being Iranian and more about attacking Jews and Zionism. The priorities were off and the dog whistle language didn't ring true either. Still, it was possible.

But this is fucking bullshit, and not only because it appeared so conveniently.

And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

How disgustingly rude you are.

'That Zionist entity' reeks of anti-semitism to anybody who isn't caught in the grip of anti-semitism themself. That you apparently fail to see it tells its own tale.

It is deliciously ironic that you, of all people on this thread, have used the term 'moron' - which, by the way, is also considered to be offensive these days. Your posts are incoherent and unintelligent, not to mention completely lacking in manners.

It matters not at all where your father is from, though you obviously set great store by it, as an appeal to authority. It seems you believe that this somehow gives you superior knowledge and intellect and makes you immune from holding anti-semitic views. It does not. Your posting history on this threat makes that clear.

I'm not going to report your post, as I'd rather let it stand to help other posters get the measure of you.

I don't think anyone is saying there aren't any Jews in Iran? You're saying it as though it's some kind of "gotcha", but really you're just telling us something lots of us already know. We also know that under the current regime, Jews in Iran don't have the same rights as other Iranians.

We also know that the current regime is murdering tens of thousands of their own people, regardless of their religion, and I'm not just talking about these past few weeks. Why is anyone's opinion on Israel even remotely relevant when opposing this level of state terror? Why are people so incredibly obsessed with Israel that they can't even find it in themselves to be against IRGC?

Honestly, I don't give a flying fuck what you think about Israel right now. I care about people being murdered on the streets of Iran. In the hospitals of Iran. And I care about the silence from the rest of the world about it. It's absolute insanity. Not everything has to be about Israel all the time. It's ok to think about something else every now and again.

i’m also half jewish. we disagree on whether zionism is something to align ourselves with. may you continue to be shocked and appalled at my uncomfortable existence. i abhor what israel is doing in the name of zionism.

all will be well.

it’s ok that you’re learning :) my dad is jewish. we exist even in iran! but the israeli state is zionist, and harmful. extremely happy to chat more :)

The Venn diagram overlaps for sure.

Identical toxicity and lack of logic in both groups

Apologies, should have been clearer. I mean the Feminism boards on MN, an area that attracts insults from mens rights activists etc. A lot (majority, I think) of posters prefer these insults to stand, rather than be deleted, so other people can see the problem. (And that it’s not us!)

The internet is absolutely awash with antisemitism from Palestine supporters. Absolutely everything is put down to ‘Mossad agents’ or secret Jewish plots. These people are absolutely unhinged and some of the most bigoted, insane people I have ever come across. Of course, they’ll say they’re very left wing and tolerant and everyone else is racist

I prefer to leave it to stand too, so others can see. Let them speak.

Exactly, it would be absolutely bonkers to reward the regime by lifting them now, when they've carried out these depraved acts of mass murder and torture against their own people.

I know people report offensive/hate speech on MN but (like a lot of FWRs) personally I would like them to stay so people see the actual truth when people let the mask slip.

”Zionist entity”. Telling.

Glad to see increased sanctions, it’s the only sane response to this massacre. “Lift the sanctions” my arse.

Good.

I hadn't seen that. Glad the government are doing something.

'Just lift the sanctions' would be fucking nuts with this murderous regime in charge. Not gonna happen. If anything, the screws will tighten, if they can.

In the 1930s, popular culture and higher education didn't disseminate Jew hate - that would have been unacceptable - they disseminated antisemitism. This wasn't religious discrimination, which was bigoted and uneducated, this was a new ideology which was progressive and correct.

There is no difference, they've just changed the name again.
