      Look at ops post and comment history. They post articles that only ever paint Palestine or hamas in a negative light, never any articles about settlers in the west bank or the killing of journalists by the IDF. Op has taken a side and is pushing an agenda.

        Plenty of articles like those here.
        And plenty of people denying there’s any rise in hatred and violence towards Jews.

          Well, so far just one it seems. With scarce sources, with the French police hardly a reliable one. Still a terrible crime, like all the other thousands of rapes each year, which surprisingly are not in the front page while they probably should. I wonder why

          And plenty of people denying there’s any rise in hatred and violent actions towards Jews.

          Like a lot of other minorities, especially en France, which has presque an institutionalized racism. One would think that the antisemitism is receiving coverage for some other reasons beside it being “simply” an hate crime.

            The “Plenty of articles like those here.” was a reply to the first part of your post.

            Yeah, it’s receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.

            And the rape was specifically because she’s a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she’s a Jew.

              No child deserves to be raped… for any reason. I can’t believe people are even arguing

        You haven’t posted any articles about Israel’s genocide either. Should I presume you tacitly approve of what Israel is doing?

        Articles like this are important, because they illustrate an awful human behavior we need to condemn. Jewish people are completely separate from Israel, and antisemitism is completely separate from criticism of Israel. By conflating the two, you push Netanyahu’s agenda. He’d love nothing more than to say Israel is the same as Jewish people and any act or criticism is antisemitic.

        Should there have been no criticism or discussion of the US internment of Japanese during WW2? Should there have been no coverage of abuse and harassment against Muslims after 9/11? What about the spate of anti Asian violence during Covid?

        Fuck that. Collective punishment is wrong. It’s difficult to change the policies and actions of a different country, but it’s easier to call out reactive domestic shitheads and policies and demand change there. Human history is full of collateral/collective punishment like this when a shitty group of people do something awful – and it falls on good, intelligent people to recognize that it’s evil of the shitty group and of the reactionaries, and to call out both.

        Don’t assume everyone here is an idiot. We’re capable of recognizing this event as awful while simultaneously criticizing Israel. And we can condemn this act without becoming sympathetic to Israel.

          Hardly. My recent comments have all been about things other than gaza. My last comment was calling out a double standard and the one before that criticised both hamas and Israeli government. If you’re going to chat shit then fucking look properly.
