Context: This happened 2 weeks ago. It was a small group of like 20 people in a protest of hundreds. The organiser of the protest condemned them, and asked the police for help removing them. The police declined to help.
The media keeps covering the like 20 antisemites and ignoring the hundreds of peaceful demonstrators, that the police tried to stop the demonstration going ahead at all, or that the Australian government is uncritically supporting the IDFs genocide.
Idiots, you can support Palestinian civilians and not say stupid shit like this.
Too bad a big chunk of the self-professed supporters don't actually give a shit about Palestinian civilians at all, they're just paying lip service because they want an excuse to hate on Jews.
They're outing themselves.
Please don't give the idiots a soap box. Supporting Palestinian right to life and territory doesn't mean you support the destruction of Jews or Israel.
Believe it or not, people can come together in peace when old racist rich fucks that want power, land, and money stay out of it.
I don't think burying this and pretending it didn't happen is helpful when Jews around the world are telling us right now that they are terrified and under attack
Yeah it is important for us to also condemn antisemitism and make very clear that the Jewish people and the Israeli government are not the same.
Yeah, like there was incidents of pro Palestinia people drawing stars of David on the doors of jews or throwing molotovs into Synagogues...
Uneducated idiots that never visited a concentration camp and never saw the scratch marks in the walls in the "showers".
For the 👇 voters: you're also a Nazi.
Those are not pro-palestine - protestors, clicky mcbait, those are Nazis.

Pointy one you got there
Never a dull time
I have to wonder how much of these are cherry picked. I don't know a single pro palestine person who is also a nazi. I think a lot of the "pro palestinian rights = nazi" stuff is really forced and not representative of even .1% of pro palestine people. I mean there was that one huge story of some people at a pro palestine rally with a nazi flag and it turned out to have been photo-shopped

People are saying it even on Lemmy. I almost would prefer to believe it's people astroturfing absurd positions to hurt Palestine... But I suspect not.
JIDF is a real thing. As is act.Il.
There are absolutely paid commenters posting extremely biased comments across all of social media
And vaccines cause autism right?
Don’t be ridiculous. Of course not.

Implying as such is simply trying to discredit reality.
Was just checking how thick your tinfoil hat is.
lol hexbear people are not serious and don't deserve your attention.
They are serious, and there are a lot of Lemmy.world people with that mindset as well.
Not even beginning about lemmygrad...
Idk about you. Some people are begging for an excuse to be anti Palestinian. they’ll stretch their rationale based on just a few people who they can use to support genociding brown people
I mean in against theocratic Muslim countries in general because they would kill me for my sexuality... So i personally don't need any more reason (yet they provide a lot more...)
So genocide is good then. Got it.
What? Being against Islamic theocratic countrys doesn't equal genocide...
With friends like these who needs enemies
Fuck that, they are not our friends
Fucking scum
