For those confused, the concern of most of us is not that free palestine is an antisemitic statement, it is unequivocally not. The antisemitic part is thinking that because someone is jewish (ordering a kosher meal) that they need to be harassed and told "free palestine" let alone made to question the safety of their food.

    because you have to ask for a kosher meal specifically.

    The details are lacking, if this is on everyones meals, then that's ok in my books, if it only targets Jewish people then there is a problems

    https://liveandletsfly.com/free-palestine-iberia-kosher-meal/ It was on other kosher meals, it does not technically say it wasn't also on other non-kosher meals. I think it's a reasonable assumption though.

    What if this was directed at someone wearing an Israeli flag. Does that mean it was not targeting a Jewish person and instead voicing political opposition to a political entity?

    Way more than Jewish people order the kosher meal on a plane. You're making a bit of a leap assuming they're not Israeli. Not to mention assuming the story is real for which there's no evidence.

    The offense is not at the message, it's that they were targeted to have it delivered.

    Idk sounds pretty racist to give a guy ordering kungpao chicken a "Free Uyghurs" note.

    Supporting Israel is more racist than this.

    Okay.

    Guess I should start vocally denouncing the CCP and their Uyghur genocide before I get myself a Malatang.

    This person isn't supporting genocide, you're just acting like an asshole and then pretending that anyone who doesn't like it is is pro-Israel.

    and you want me to debate you about a message a group of people who eat traditionally Jewish food and may be Israeli

    buddy you're doing that anyway. Conflating Israelis with Jews is wrong, yes. Targeting Jews to try and send a message to Israeli is wrong, yes. I know you feel like anything you like is justified since you believe in The Right Thing, but doing bad things for a good reason is still bad.

    and giving these folks a message saying free Palestine is somehow because they were targeted as potential Israeli citizens who can vote the terrorist Netanyahu out of office?

    oh wow you're incoherent with indignation, what a surprise. Why are you wasting time? There's a genocide RIGHT NOW

    Well they sure as hell are doing a lot more "Support for Israel" protests around the world and barely anything for Palestine. They're actually selling land in Gaza in New York and ONLY Jewish people can purchase it. Disgusting.

    Yes; I would agree that behavior of those people is egregious.

    But I'm not actually certain you want to be on record as saying that the behavior of the majority of a group means we can judge every member of that group by it, do you? Reviving prejudicial practices feels like the wrong bandwagon.

    Absolutely not, but the comment by the OC was an easy way to deflect what the majority of that population thinks. And the stickers were provided to everyone on the flight, not just specific passengers.

    If isreal claims antisemitism for criticism of their policies, then they brought the Jewish population into this mess.

    Which is terrible of Israel and rightly deserves criticism; I miss how it necessitates us, as individuals, to be alright or comfortable with the conflation of all Jewish people, as a whole, with holding unified belief, particularly in a world with a very long history of prejudice that argues they're a wily group that works in unified concert to achieve singular ends.

    Isreal picked this fight and has been calling any criticism of their actions antisemitism. They framed the argument and turned their state actions into a racial issue.

    Which is bad; obviously. Nobody in this thread is doing any apologia for Israel.

    In part because that's not what depicted in this image, is it? This was a message written explicitly on kosher meals likely because the person who did it was conflating all Jewish people with being Israel supporters. Unless you're O. K. with profiling, it should not be hard to identify the problem here. Fighting individual Jewish people is not the same as fighting Israel and it's certainly not one we should be tolerating.

    No, because you're conflating Jewish people with Israel.

    Do they also copy Israel? How many Gazans have they slain? Do you or them also sterilize Africans?

    cancel culture line

    LMAO what a baby, eggshell ego that can't handle anyone not swallowing their bullshit.

    ad hominem attack

    You're the one that said it's okay to do something if Israel did it first, it's not ad hominem.

    I am an american Jew. I am not committing genocide (well, the US is committing several right now but I don't have shit to do with it in fact I am protesting it as much as I can and my professional work in no way supports it) Fuck all the way off with that racist as fuck shit. I am not guilty of what some other Jewish (and plenty of non Jewish people) are doing any more than every arab is guilty of 9/11 or any other terrorism. People are not responsible for crimes of people who share a background with them.

    While there are a few people here, at the very least, unconsciously conflating the two, I think the point kerrigan778 is pointing out is that writing this message only on kosher meals is clearly making an assumption that a Jewish person is pro- the current genocide in Gaza.

    Sure, it's not as bad as genocide, most clearly, but it's still a form of prejudice and can put a person at risk (we could reasonably justify morally putting something that would cause damage or sickness in the food of a genocider but, if you're targeting ends up including people who aren't in support of the genocide, you're hurting those people – too –, now).

    And, given the history of hatred against Jewish people (and it's uptick starting in 2016), I'd argue it's something we should also be concerned about and stopping. I think that was their only point.
