I'm Jewish and the way Israel weaponizes antisemitism as a shield against all the terrible things it does makes me sick

okay but antisemitism is still a significant problem for many jewish people?

[–] AfricanRain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

okay but that has nothing to with whether or not Wembley’s arch is lit a particular set of colours lol

maybe but it's completely disingenuous to present it as a counterpoint it's just a weird 'all lives matter' argument

I'd argue that Israel actively incites antisemitism by claiming to commit hate crimes on our behalf
