She joined pro-Palestinians just days after Oct. 7, posting a photo of herself holding a sign reading “Stand with Gaza” — alongside a toy octopus, which some read as an allusion to the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda visualizing Judaism’s supposed network of control over the world.

Octopus is Khamas.

they can say lots of things, reject framing and spit on fools

(it's akin to agreeing to questions of "would you say n-word to save your family", there are no comic book villains around)

P.S. What it does imply though, you can't take so and so is an anti-semite as being true judgement. Before corbyn, i would very unlikely to pursue the truth of somebody called that, and put them into the ignore box. Now that check of "anti-semitism" requires some verification (or more trustworthy than adl/government source)

    Hasn't Roger Waters been getting called an antisemite for ages for the same things as Corbyn?

    Yes, but he did kinda weird thing at one concert which for me was enough to put him in a box of (heart in right place, but might be perceived antisemitic).

    But I think I looked into it during corbyn saga, because I try not to pay attention to what celebs think or do. Some of them might support my positions, some will not, what exactly does that bring me (unless it’s like laser focused on the fan of the group/person/team, who is simultaneously unaware of their positions), they are celebs, random people politics wise, famous for other talents
