Fascists, sociopaths, and psychopaths don't believe in free speech. They can't be shamed. They don't care about hypocrisy. They don't possess morals or ethics. They don't believe in the meaning of words.
They will claim to be the good guys until the very end.
Yet calling them weird was super effective since fascism relies on the people thinking everyone else is abnormal.
It's deeper. It relies on them claiming that they're the voices of the masses and that their brutality is cool and emotionally justifiable. Calling them evil is attacking and they want to fight, and it makes them feel powerful and cool. Weird attacks their ability to frame themselves as cool dangerous underdog heroes
It was always really just the "freedom" to speak hatred against the current out-group. Freedom of speech means nothing if its not intersected with the freedom to live a life free of harassment and discrimination
nobody noticed the anti-zionist propoganda campaign? specially on lemmy
Nah mate, anti-zionism is good, it's needed. A zionist and a nazi are only different in name, they are the same shit and deserve the same treatment.
No seriously, look up "The Israel Project’s 2009 Global Language Dictionary". This is nothing new
Good God this is just plain evil.
Almost anyone whining about antisemitism while ignoring the Zionists' genocide is an IDF troll
And this is how you create more antisemites. These have to be the dumbest organized people that can't see past their noses. What a bunch of losers.
No no, that's exactly their plan! They create antisemitism and tell Jews they are in danger and their only safe place is Israel in an effort to increase Jewish immigration to Israel and Palestine for the Zionist settler-colonial project. Like if there is a Jewish guy in the middle of a room and another Jewish guy comes into the room and loads a bunch of crossbows pointed at the first guy, then shouts "You're in grave danger my brother you must flee!" like mf there was no danger until YOU came in here
And then what? Live in a world where everybody hates you? Fucking stupid.
"Us vs them" is very helpful for internal stability.
The frustrating thing is they genuinely believe they’re the good guys
No they don't. They believe they are superior, supreme. They believe they are better because they are more advanced and have more money, they don't care about goodness.
I would say by their judgment that is what makes them "good".
this has also been the case for prior genocidal projects
I'd be hard pressed to think of one that wasn't, yeah.
this is the problem rooting a system of ethics in an authoritative morality. morality is socially assigned where as ethics are derived based on reaching consensus. whether or not something is morally right or wrong is nearly indistinguishable from whether or not something is legally allowed or disallowed. the Israelis have been programmed for 80 years to believe that theirs is the most moral army because their interpretation of the torah tells them it must be so. the nazis believed they were right, and so did the americans and british they were drawing inspiration from.
much better to focus on ethics derived on features of what it means to be human and what dignities we must all have respected as we navigate the world
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
Solidarity among evil people, never fails to make me want to puke.
This seems more like intimidation than propaganda
Porque no los dos?
They attack the messenger not the message, because their message doesn’t stand to scrutiny.
Only positive to take out of this, is that they finally define anti-semitism and anti-israel activism as two separate concepts
Cuts both ways. They have included both, but they treat them the same. This allows them to handwave away any reasonable objections that they are not the same thing, because it doesn't make a difference to them.
Yeah but then they directly conflate them as the same thing. Same old tactic, call all criticism of Israel antisemitism.
I remember encountered an IDF soldier online and attacked both him and his message, openly said he wasn't convincing, I believe whistleblowers over him, and that I actually hated him.
Israel just guaranteed that if another holocaust should ever occur, no one will help them.
The greatest enemy of Jews worldwide right now is the Israeli government. What the fuck, man? It's like they're trying to get American Jews killed
They wouldn't mind if American Jews died. They probably see any Jew who is against the Zionist occupation of Palestine as their second greatest enemy, only behind a reformed Zionist who became Palestine supporter.
Having anyone who had ties to israel at some point in time (even if it's just religious ties) change their mind or even support Palestine makes people who support israel begin to question themselves.
Haganah , Irgun, Lehi all killed some Palestinians and arab jews . An anti Zionist Jewish journalist was killed with a direct order named Israel de Han
More than 80% of jews are zionist
I've heard this claim but I've also heard it ripped apart as being misleading. And I've never seen the actual poll it's based on, do you have that handy?
It predates 2023 and up until that point, "Zionism" meant "Israel is the holy land" to a lot of people
Here are the sources (contains tracking) https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/05/21/u-s-jews-have-widely-differing-views-on-israel/ https://jewishcurrents.org/are-95-of-jews-really-zionists https://jppi.org.il/en/%D7%9E%D7%93%D7%93-%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%9D-%D7%94%D7%99%D7%94%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99-%D7%9C%D7%97%D7%95%D7%93%D7%A9-2024-%D7%99%D7%94%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99-%D7%90%D7%A8%D7%94%D7%91-%D7%9E/
Did you link these without reading them...?
-
That Pew Research article goes against that narrative in a lot of ways
-
The second link discusses how claiming 80% is misleading with statistics
-
The third is an Israeli publication. I'll admit I didn't bother finishing this one because I don't believe it to be unbiased
The holocust was stopped because germany declared war on other strong countries. The whole world didn't care about jews getting exterminated that much
That's what I think too. This is my crazy theory. Zionism was created to finish the job of nazism. To make the world loathe the Israelis (i.e. loathe the jews) and anti semitism will grow to a point that if ever another holocaust happens, no one will stand up for them. I feel bad for the anti-zionist jews who try to scream "not in our name!" but their voices are drained by zionist propaganda.
Nazisim wasn't existentially anti-jewish. It was just an evil philosophy looking for an enemy to attack, and would have as happily focused on Romani, Apache, or Poles if they were more present in Germany.
Zionism is that same evil philosophy, spreading among Jews instead of Germans.
Ethnic nationalism is just bigotry enshrined into law.
That's true, but I'm taking the jewish holocaust as a seperate and special sub division of that evil. Zionism attacks anyone who is anti-zionist, be it jewish, christian, muslim, white, brown, black...
Facts.
The Vatican could just as easily use a similar site for something like this. It's still disgusting nonetheless, whether it be Occupied Palestine or otherwise. I will give a silver lining here that we're in the end-stages of the American empire, so all those "Antisemitism" laws are a HUGE sign of that.
