Why is it so fucking hard for American Idiots to understand that the Jewish people =/= Israel and its government.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago

It’s not. That type of thinking just works with the narrative, whether it’s conflating “Israel” and “Jews,” or “Men” and “rapists,” or “Blacks” and criminals, or Muslims and terrorists. The point is to make it impossible to argue with anything said

because the pro-israeli lobby has spent millions, billions even, on trying to corrupt the discourse so that any criticism of israel is inherently linked to antisemitism, and tens of millions of people, if not more, have bought into that social engineering and believe deeply that criticizing israel is literally worse than anything hitler did.

Marketing conflates the two, not much we can do.

It’s not marketing. It’s a targeted campaign to intertwine the two… oh wait yeah it’s marketing 🤣

Israel's 1948 Declaration of Independence states the nation was founded on the "national and historic right of the Jewish people"

Israel's 2018 Basic Law constitutionally enshrined the state as the "nation-state of the Jewish people," granting exclusive national self-determination to Jews, prioritizing Jewish settlement as a "national value", designating Hebrew as the sole official language (with Arabic demoted to "special status"), affirming Jerusalem as the capital, and guaranteeing Jewish immigration rights.

This may be why people conflate the two. Israel has defined itself as Jewish state.

As Mo Amer says, it's a marketing issue.

I mean how is it much different than “I hate Trump and Elon” but I don’t hate Americans .. (well I am an American but still).

Didn't they legally make them the same thing? Or try to? It's bullshit. We probably don't have many agents in here yet but they'll get here eventually.
