I'm an Orthodox Christian. It has just occurred to me that we might lose all of our sacred places in the Holy Land if this hostility by israel continues.

Again, you're accusing them of being antisemitic because they're 21st century Christians posting scripture.🤷‍♀️

You say your definition of antisemitism doesn't extend to all followers of Christianity, what makes this account different?

You don't think it's antisemitic. Good for you. You are not the authority. I doubt it's a trope you've have thrown in your face your whole life. And then have had people explain that statements like "the dominant religion in Israel adheres to the same faith as the Pharisee class of second temple Judaism, who demanded Christ be killed" and "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct 7 was done as a retaliatory counterattack addressing Israeli occupation... it was also foreknown by Israel and not stopped; meaning it was a false flag to use as a Zionist excuse to destroy Gaza" and "the modern Christ-rejecting Jewish religion and so-called country dishonors God" aren't antisemitic and you're being sensitive for thinking so.

Please read my post. I actually agreed with you on the other items as you explained them. Thanks.

No. You haven't. You've accused this account of Antisemetism for quoting the New Testament and showing an image of Christ with suffering children.Confused

I've accused it of being antisemitic for repeating many antisemitic tropes including a comment that clearly implies that Jews killed Jesus and they're doing it again. Among others.

I suspect that if they had a post saying saying that they hate all Jews and Hitler did nothing wrong you'd still be just as gaslighty.

You spoke about a specific image. I explained why that it is not antisemitic and explained why. You posted a definition of antisemitism. It does not comply with this.
That doesn't make me feel better, but I hoped to make you feel better.
On the other items, I disagree, Judaism is a real religion etc. It's part of my own family background. I respect Judaism and I think most people on MN do too, honestly. And we all should act from that point.
What I don't respect are the current actions of the Israeli government bombing and starving people. And no real Christian should either.

Whatever makes you feel better. But after looking through an account full celebrating October 7th, talking about how Jews all reject and it's not a real religion anyway because Christians are the TRUE Israelites and calling everyone they disagree with a Jewish supremacist I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

So according to you, the definition of Antisemitic now extends to being a 21st century Christian and Churches quoting the gospels on the internet?

No.

Mabiri · 18/07/2025 23:31

YourOnMute · 18/07/2025 23:21

The Romans did kill Jesus.
I understand that Jewish people being accused of Jesus is hurtful and wrong. But that is not the case here, as I've explained. I'm sure someone with a better understanding of theology can explain it better than I.

It's a bog standard antisemitic tropes. "Jews killed Jesus and they're still doing it". Old as the hills. And it's not the only one.

The post you mentioned when you said the account was Antisemetic.

Yeah, it's not like the Jews killed Jesus thing has been thrown around for the past 2000 years or anything...
And what you're talking about here^^.

What antisemitic content are you seeing because this is bog standard, biblical, Christian stuff?

Anyway, they're now talking about how their were no rapes on October 7th and it was just a way to manufacture consent for the final solution. But I suppose that's fine too.

To me that says that Jesus's suffering and the suffering of civilians in Gaza are the same. As a Christian (Catholic) the universal nature of the suffering of Jesus is an extremely important aspect of our faith. As Jesus suffered so we should think of all people suffering. It is to expand oour humanity, not limit it.
Apologies but as I understand it you are reading antisemitism when none is intended.

It also has a pair ting of Jesus's body next to a picture of an injured child in Gaza. With the caption "Golgotha 2000 years ago & Gaza yesterday". The implications is clear on who the persecutors in question are meant to be, especially with all their posts shouting about "Jewish extremism" and how wrong Judaism is and how October 7th was a prison uprising.

But you'd rather listen to what the Mecha Hitler AI says I suppose.

I know what it means, but you seem to be extending it to Christianity as a whole here. Happy to be mistaken though.
