“Global antisemitism on the rise”. Is that because Israel turned genocidal against the Palestinians?
More specifically it’s because Israel and its allies are running a successful global campaign of conflating opposition to its genocide with antisemitism, which, in turn, normalises antisemitism, which, obviously, harms Jewish people everywhere.
I actually want to watch Superman now, and I will 100% assume this genocidal US ally is a stand-in for Israel and appreciate it all the more for it, because the shoe certainly fits.
if anti-israel statement counts as anti semtism, then look at whats happening in Palestine.
Pretty soon even Schindler’s List will be “anti-Semitic” for these people…
The whole “calling out Israel for genocide means you’re antisemitic” line is so worn out and honestly just exhausting, this post made me laugh!
My parents watch PBS Newshour and are very anti-Israel because of what they’re doing to Palestine. One night, PBS ran a piece about how Israel’s PR was labeling any criticism of Israel’s action as “anti-semitism” and my folks were naturally incensed by this. The very next night, PBS ran a piece about the statistically increasing occurrence of anti-semitism in the world - without any discussion of just the possibility that much of that increase is due to criticisms of Israel being labeled as anti-semitism. My parents, of course, were then incensed about all the anti-semitism.
Israel has spent like 4+ decades trying desperately to associate criticism of israel with antisemitism. And the world has complied, Hell its now a crime punishable by decades in prison just to support Palestine in the UK. Gotta wonder how Churchill hasnt lept out of his grave and started cockslapping motherfuckers.
Netanyahu also used to have a penchant for comparing people who refused to gargle his fucking balls to Hitler, in a blatant attempt to shame people into Israeli compliance. Hasnt done it so much anymore, Probably because descriptions of Hitler and his actions would rub too uncomfortably close to what Netanyahu and Israel are doing now a days.
@IndustryStandard That shoe fits like it was made for him/them, by a cobbler of old. Interesting that he recognised the parallel so quickly.
“they’re showing a country of mostly white people invading and brutalizing a defenseless country of brown people which is clearly about Israel-palestine”
c/selfawarewolves
I can all but guarantee that’s an American writing that comment anyway.
They look pretty much the same in terms of skin tone. It’s not whites vs browns. They all just look Mediterranean, which isn’t that surprising because that’s where they are. Palestinians are a lot lighter than people seem to think.
Unless we’re going with the US definition of race, in which anybody coming from a poor country is non-white. I mean, they used to think the Italians and Irish weren’t white.

Who? Israel’s dominant sociopolitical group are Ashkenazi. They’re white. Pretending it’s Mediterraneans vs Mediterraneans is playing into the Israeli lie that Jewish people are the true native people in Canaan and everyone else is an outside invader. When in reality some Jews are native to the area, just as the Palestinians are. But certainly not the 20th century neocolonial supremacist state of Israel.
Who?
pretty sure they’re talking about the people of the two fictional countries in the movie
They said “Palestinians”
you’re right, i misread the comment
The “if you’re criticizing Israel then you are an antisemitic” argument is getting really really old and fucking tired.
I have never in my life had any issues with anyone who is Jewish just because they are Jewish. Nor will I ever. But I have serious issues with the state of Israel committing war crimes on a daily basis and expecting not to be held accountable.
100%, fuck the country of Israel, the people leading the country, and the people hands on murdering civilians. Death to the IDF.
My Jewish friends never bought into it either.
I’ve met many Jewish people. Who have spoken like Psycopaths about murdering Islamists and anyone they consider an “ENEMY” of Jewish people. Not all Jewish people are evil like this. But from my anecdotal experience. Jewish people support criminal organizations that steal from everyone with the Jewish Mafia being an unspoken evil arm of their operations.
I question the intelligence of any person that believes in a religion. You’re just telling me. You need fantasy stories to make you a good person. Which tells me that you’re really a terrible person without your fake stories.
Many Jews are not religious
I dunno, sounds like a fake story to me
Islamists are fundamentalists btw, so exactly the kind of religious zealots you seem to despise
Almost like Jews and Muslims are the same people born 20km apart or something
Meh. That place taught the actual real world. And because of that experience I believe I have been successful with my own life. You can disagree it was real but I lived it.
They’re mad that they’re identifying with the genocidal, colonizing villains of the story?
I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.
“If the shoe fits”… So maybe sit with your thoughts a bit longer to a logical conclusion instead of jumping to social media to dump your little thought vomit.
Absolutely agree! Why can’t we have a show where a strong army wipes out a minority from the Earth with the rest of the world cheering?
What? That exists and is called “Fox News”??
Well, if the shoe fits.
at this point israel is just a country of vile rabid criminals. they know all the normal jewish people think of them as a stain on humanity and their religion but still cry antisemitism when they are exposed bombing children collecting water or sniping pregnant women.
Wait, I thought the Jews ran Hollywood and controlled all of the media? How is it possible a movie like this exists?
That’s the radical left you’re talking about
Radical is when something I don’t like happens.
If only words had meanings and you could look up what those meanings were.
I would LOVE It if even ONE ‘radical’ movie, TV show or video game ever came out. But it never will because Hollywood and Game companies are all Capitalists who only allow the mildest of critiques.
My bad, if a post doesn’t have a giant /s sign it’s bound to be taken literally. Somebody blames the Jews’ vabal, the Jews blame the radical Left, the radical Left blames capitalism (they are right, though)
I apologize if you meant it to be sarcastic.
I knew that SpaceCowboy’s post was because “The Jews Control the media” is a very common trope.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that it was controlled by the radical left.
rick and morty , family guy all have talked about palestine and israel in some form or another. dint see them whine about that. there were quite a few other shows discussing it.
