Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not saying it was a good thing because obviously people shouldn't conflate Judaism with Zionism, but my god this is not as big of a deal as the media wants it to be. One confused dumbass putting a Palestine sticker in the wrong place doesn't need to be international news, and I get the feeling this is nothing more than a concentrated effort to amplify the story to support the "pro Palestine = antisemitic" stance that Isn'trael supporters have been bullshitting about.
And that's assuming this was even done by someone pro-Palestine and not some chud trying to stir up shit.
If they had a problem with a Jewish woman wearing a symbol of her ethnicity/culture I don't think there's any greyness or excuse for "confusion," it's objectively wrong. Conflating Jewish identity to Zionism is unambiguously antisemitic whether it's a zionist or antizionist doing it. (btw Amy was a secular jew so this isn't even about judaism either)
But yeah obviously nothing news worthy, it's just one random mf, and could easily be false flagged. Could you imagine a single media outlet reporting on a zionist putting a coin sized Israeli sticker on the statue of a muslim?
