Because speaking out against Israel is very frequently (and maliciously) intentionally misconstrued as antisemitism to allow them to get away with crimes against humanity. It’s been this way for decades, it’s just a lot more open and obvious currently.
It’s actually worse than that. For decades the media, politicians, and the Israeli government have deliberately conflated Israel, the country, with the Israeli government/leadership, the Israeli population, Judaism, the religion, and the Jewish community more broadly (including the diaspora).
So now any criticism of the Israeli government is a criticism of the country, the people, and the religion simultaneously, depending on what’s most convenient.
And there’s a few rather alarming types of political movements that deliberately blur the lines between the people, the state, and the leadership (and in this case the dominant religion) in order to minimize criticism and maximize loyalty…
Yes! Thank you for putting this out there. I always forget about that aspect of it, and I was actually just listening to an episode of Hood Politics (You wasn’t outside part 2) that went over this and had a really good set of clips from a rabbi that expounded on this very topic.
Very nice, succinct example of exactly what I was talking about: by blurring the line between Judaism, the Jewish people, and the Israeli state, folks like you can paint any kind of criticism of Israeli government action, their supporters in media, or allied governments, as antisemitic, thereby shutting down reasonable discussion. Truly a thought terminating comment. Well done.
Such a clear attempt to stop or totally derail conversation. I’ve taken to just blocking these accounts, but that’s only good for me, not the wider community.
The Nazi regime was both the worst and the best thing that could happen to the Jews. It was absolutely horrific, but it’s given them a seemingly infinite get out of jail card.
What they’re doing is criminal, but I was actually a little surprised that the destruction isn’t as complete as I expected. It’s harder to tell though because many of the before pictures are directly top down, so you can’t easily tell how tall buildings were in the before photos.
it’s a lot more complicated than that. You and I, and some governments care for civilian structures, but terrorists do not. That’s why they make their bases in the middle of populous areas.
They’re straight up razing the region into the ground. How the fuck are governments okay with this wanton destruction of people’s lives and homes.

So Cartman was right they control the world.

At first glance it doesn’t seem that bad but the more you look the worse it gets. Almost every area of the photo is affected.
Almost every area, but at the same time it’s patchy. There are buildings that seem intact right next to buildings that have been completely levelled.
If a building is next to a building that has been completely leveled it’s almost certainly no longer structurally sound or safe to be in.

The IDF has its headquarters next to the largest hospital in Tel Aviv. Are they not also using civilians as hostages?
The headquarters are 400 metres away. And the IDF didn’t capture Hamas civilians.
Israel currently has thousands of Palestinians in internment camps and prisons. FOH lmao
Got any source for that at all?

Relax bruh, I recognise the genocide, just saying to supply sources is all
