Yeah, it certainly is a uniparty in that respect...

Yeah after like some light googling I realize I was entirely wrong. It must have been on some specific issue that I was against and absolutely fucked up in my big dumb head. But you’re right. Thank you, some faith restored in my worldview now.

So, a dictator.

I don't know if it was 90%, but I think he may be getting confused with the polled opinion of israelis support for action in gaza.

I don't think you know what the word "targeted" means

Yes, but it's both side. You get called antisematic for saying anything against Israeli policies in some places, but I find on Lemmy you get called hasbara and banned for saying anything even remotely critical of Palestinian actions. There can be no discourse to find any kind of reasonable path forward this way. So everyone moves further to their extremist sides thinking the other side is inhuman because they won't listen. And we end up in a situation where both sides see the only solution as the complete destruction of the other.

Indeed.

Claiming that criticism of Zionism is anti-Semitism is claiming that the things that Zionists do are typical Jewish things to do. In other words, that it's a Jewish trait to:

• See themselves as inherently superior to all others not of their ethnicity
• Be extremelly racist, especially towards Muslims
• Think that those born in specific ethnicities are "vermin"
• Violently attack those of ethnities they see as "vermin" for no other reason than their ethnicity
• Steal from those of ethnities they see as "vermin"
• Calously murder civilians of ethnities they see as "vermin", including purposelly murdering children
• Rape civilians of ethnities they see as "vermin"
• Starve to death civilians of ethnicities they see as "vermin"
• Commit Genocide
• Run child sex honeypots for the purpose of gathering kompromat

and more.

In summary in light of the acts openly commited by those Zionists who have the power to freely act according to their ideology and the support of other Zionists for those acts, calling criticism of Zionism anti-semitism is the same as saying that the Jewish People as a whole are basically modern day NAZIs with different ubermenschen and untermenschen than the original NAZIs.

In summary, conflating Zionistm with the Jewish People as a whole and thus implying that being a Jew is to think and act similarly to NAZIs is indeed

The most antisemitic thing you can say

Saying "Jew = Zionist" is like saying "German = Nazi".

One thing however needs to be made clear however:

Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.

Why does that need to be your first concern? I dont know think accusations of anti semitism are particularly importtant in light of everything else going on. Someones feelings got hurt? oh no, lets stop talking about the murder of journalists and aid workers and get right on that antisemitism thing, because thats somehow got to come before everything else.

What it has become kind of implies some recent change from a historical version of Israel which wasn't genocidal. There were some very early idealistic views of Zionism in the 1940s, but it has pretty much always been a fascistic ethnostate. Most people just haven't been aware until recently.

That is a perfectly fair point, I used the word "become" as I wasn't completely sure on how the behavior developed or if it had been part of Israel from the start.

I can also see the logic of the jewish perspective after the holocaust, as a people they were hunted and exterminated across Europe, and wanted a country of their own to feel safe and secure.

However, that doesn't give them the right to hunt and exterminate another people, which is where Israel lost the plot.

That's a very ignorant take on history, attempting to disconnect modern day Israel from the Israelites of which also comes Judaism from Israel's son, Judah and that tribe. Though, this has nothing to do with the religion specifically beyond its ideological influence of history.

You never thought as to why the modern state of Israel came to exist as it does? Restoration of 900 BC Israel? It was only later Israel would fall to the Assyrians. Then Judah to the Babylonians. The Canaanites at this point were way gone, Amon, Moab, etc., so the Israelites, as the tribes of Israel, were without homeland. No Israel, no Judah, nothing.

Then the Romans, then the English, blah, blah, blah. Suddenly it's the 1940s...

The British administrative mandate of Palestine—as the British empire just did with little regions all over the world—is coming to an end so they put the proposal to the UN. II's no Kingdom of Judah as well, where Jerusalem formerly was, but most of the landmass is central to the former Kingdom of Israel which was historically more prosperous and "the big one" anyway. Apart from this, it had nothing to do with America. The proposal itself had already been cooking for 30 years prior and the British were happy to execute it with UN agreeance. At times it was looking to go forward before WW2 was even a thing.

Your last statement is just entirely wrong, but it sounds catchy to anyone that's never looked at the history.

Buddhism. Gnostic Christianity. Hinduism. Probably a whole bunch more, I'm no theologian.

The hideousflaw in the post you're replying to isn't that, though. It's the idea that Israel invented Judaism, that Judaism is a monolith, that Israel is run on Jewish lines, and that Jews everywhere look to Israel for leadership.

That's some fucked-up thinking there. That thinking sucks.

I think most don't, and even in Judaism it's the more ethno-nationalist (i.e. Zionist) adherents that believe it. Christian nationalists and evangelicals do, but I don't think Protestants or Catholics do. And outside of Abrahamic religions, like Hinduism, at most it's kind of a "we're right you're wrong but idgaf", unless again you're getting into Hindu ethno-nationalism, but then the religion is just an excuse for facism and genocide, which brings us back around again.

Any time an opinion survey gives 4 options with no neutral answer and then lumps the responses into two categories...

A little alarm bell should go off in your head.

There's also the last part of that section:

On this question as well, we found a much greater degree of concern on the Left for the suffering and hunger in Gaza than in the Center and on the Right.

And now we're getting I to how Bibi's repeated cancelation of elections and open immigration for hard right e tremists and virtually no one else to juice those numbers.

I couldn't find a link to the poll, but it could be the vast majority of that 79% are effected by the standard psychological effects of how that survey was set up that anyone that stumbled past a grad level statistical analysis lecture in a drunken stupor would notice....

In fact, that set off so many of my alarm bells, I took two seconds to click the "about" section, see the guy running it also runs Home Depot, rembered how pro-Israel they are and even found you a source....

You fell for propaganda...

They're intentionally doing surveys that overstate Bibi's support bro.

You think you're hurting them, but you're doing what Israel wants right now, you're spreading their propaganda unintentionally...
