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.
I wonder how actual nazis see this kind of shit: do they feel validated and think “haha they were always criminals” or are they pissed because (so far at least) israel can bomb kids and camps and hospitals and schools and food lines over and over and over again, angry that nazis faced consequences for their crimes, eventually?
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!
It only hurt jews those false accusations
