@RoastSquash (sigh) that makes sense. Just like the hysterical tic toks and instagram posts it's good to have some context.

stomachameleon · 31/12/2023 12:56

@Berl29 doesn't fit with your narrative...

So no Palestinians are anti-Semitic at all? Not even Hamas?

When I saw the pictures of the march with all the flags of Israel flying high, I certainly would have felt unsafe being in that area. But I believe in freedom of speech for everyone even those whose views that make me feel uncomfortable. Yes there will have been people no doubt on the anti Semitic march who have extreme beliefs as well as more moderate voices but again I prefer not to tarnish everyone with the same brush.

If the flags of foreign countries makes you feel unsafe I suggest you stay indoors and turn off your TV during thr Olympics next year.

How nice of them, only hating the Jewish people who live on "their" land. I wonder what changed their mind since 1988.

That Hamas charter means nothing in reality. Actions speak louder than words.

What about the Houthis who are currently attacking Israel and other targets, do you think they are antisemitic?

Hamas obviously went to great lengths to distinguish between land occupying Zionists and Jewish people on October 7th, as well as Israelis, other nationalities and non-Jewish people, as per their charter.

ETA seeing as all we have to do is look at their actions to know it’s not true.

stomachameleon · 31/12/2023 13:42

@Berl29 or...
The Palestinians willing left as they were promised the spoils of war from the Arab countries after Israel was defeated.
Only they weren't. Bad choice.

Hamas do.

And you realise being Jewish isn't just a religion, right?

Their slogan is "Allah is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

And they do the Hitler salute.

Do you think they are antisemitic?

basculin · 31/12/2023 14:22

I mean, someone could literally murder Jewish people while screaming 'death to Jews and wearing a t-shirt that says 'I hate Jews' and certain posters would try to come up with an excuse for why they're not anti-Semitic.

stomachameleon · 31/12/2023 14:56

@noblegiraffe hmmmm. That's seems pretty clear.

No I’d say they were anti-oppression, anti-apartheid, anti the US and Israel constantly destabilising and meddling in M.E. Affairs.

Death to America, is not anti-Semitic, it’s a call to the US to keep their nose out of their countries business and oil reserves. If Israel was any other state doing the same, the results and call outs would be the same, the fact they are jewish is not the problem, it’s the fact they are the occupied forces and they are oppressing them.

Coming from someone who keeps hinting that you think Jewish people were responsible for 9/11, its nit surprising that you think "A curse upon the Jews" is not in the slightest bit anti-Semitic.

@mnhq I mean really it's getting worse. It's disgusting. And they keep coming back.

Trulywonderful · 31/12/2023 15:13

Stepping away slowly

Again

No I didn’t hint that, I said ‘several’ countries were under suspicion.

I think it’s worse than that. They seem to be saying that antisemitism, murder, rape, torture and kidnapping of Jews is all the fault of the Jews.

You definitely did hint that. And you kept saying you're not going to say it outright because you know that would cross the line and get you banned.

Any explanation on how "A curse upon the Jews" isn't anti-Semitic?
