Easy to understand why an AI scanning discussions of these groups would guess they’re associated with each other. Both say pretty much the same things about Jews controlling the government, Jews controlling the media, etc.
reminder that Hamas (the antisemitic political-military organization) is not Palestine. Hamas even has an entirely different flag from the Palestinian state.
in other words, while the Confederate flag is an explicit expression of racism, the Palestinian flag is absolutely not.
Sure but the Palestinian flag appears on the usernames of people spouting a lot of antisemitism. And there’s a lot of people claiming the confederate flag isn’t about white supremicism. So there’s a high probability of an AI scanning conversations and coming to the conclusion that these flags have the same meaning.
Maybe instead of looking the other way on antisemitism in the Free Palestine movement, people that are a part of that movement should be calling it out? But as always it’s easier to look the other way and make rationalizations about how it’s ok for your allies in a movement to be racists assholes.
The south was actually more accepting of Jews than the north at the time (as long as they had the right complexion). Thousands served in the confederate army, many holding high rank.

no i agree it’s important to call it out. good point. you just didn’t phrase your original statement in a way that led me to that conclusion.
