You can be an anti semite, you just can't criticise Israel.
This statement is way too fucking true. My wife was verbally abused by a right-winger for representing the Australian Greens a few weeks ago, being labelled an "anti-Semite". For anyone that is curious... The greens are outwardly condemning Israel and are not in the slightest anti-Semitic.
We all know criticism of Israel is the only real antisemitism in the world.
/s
It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.
The average Republican doesn't like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn't. Crazy world.
Fash don't care about Jewish people, they care about the state of Israel.
Israel has big “go back to where you came from” energy
Report him. Seriously. Report him to ice.
Anonymously, I wouldn't put it above them to find some excuse to mess with you for making their Daddy Trump look bad
After 58 years of pure hell on earth, ain't much they can do to me .
Ya know intellectually I know that there are probably some Afrikaners who are decent human beings who believe in egalitarianism, liberty, and being a decent human being. But for the life of me I have never seen one who hasn't had a floating sign above their head that says "I'm a subhuman Nazi, let the ravens feed on my flesh" curious that.
Back when I was working retail, my friends/coworkers tried to hook my up with this South African gal. She was very pretty, had an amazing accent, but after a few minutes, she just started dropping the most casually racist shit I'd ever heard in my life.
Stuff like "America is great, the people are prepared here, if you know what I mean."..."there were so many people in SA who wouldn't prepare, or work, or save anything" she was very obviously talking about black SAs at this point .
I broke it off pretty quickly. My out was that she was horribly racist, and a Mac user.
A Mac user?! Fucking vile!
But yeah I've met one dude who was descended from an Afrikaner who was chill, basically his dad was a merc and his mom was Rhodesian both were disillusioned by that whole fiasco. His dad started an aid group for poor folks overall but more specifically for inner cities. Guy was chill, but really fucking hated the Dutch for some reason.
Are we surprised that they brought in the racist people? I would think that's who they wanted.
Oh good, we got their Nazis.
But what did I expect white Afrikaners to be.
the South African fascist foot soldiers masquerading as refugees makes such a transparent statement from the Trump administration that it is blinding. people claiming there are no racial motivators are fucking delusional or purposely lying at this point. it's one of the two and nothing else.
WHITE afrikaaners
honestly, that's implied with how i described the type of South Africans being favored lol but yes.
Just reasserting so anyone scoffing at your comment can remember that these people are specifically WHITE South Africans
Aren't afrikaaners white by definition?
Are they? I'm not intimately familiar with afrikaaners I suppose. Thanks for the input
They haven't had time to learn yet which ones are the "good" Racisms and which ones are the bad Racisms in the country they moved to.
Their antisemitism is okay, though huh
I've about had it. If one more shitty, awful thing happens, I'm going to really start hoping that somebody leads the revolution for me.
“It's a genocide that's taking place," [Trump] said at the White House [in reference to white South Africans]
I think I might have an aneurysm
This song was made decades ago and thanks to the hard work of many diligent Afrikaans it remains evergreen.
tweeted Jews are ‘dangerous and untrustworthy’
"That sounds like something Hamas would say", would be the accusation. Hasn't that been enough to get a number of immigrant students here in the USA locked up for months?
"What to Know: Immigration Authorities Detain Tufts Student: Doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained leaving her home in Massachusetts and moved to a holding facility in Louisiana after being accused by ICE of supporting Hamas. Her visa has been revoked."
So I expect the trump administration will be revoking that Afrikaner's visa immediately for supporting Hamas, right? /s
They are going to fit right in with the Nazis that live here.
That's the intention. Get those white Nazi numbers up.
Very fine people /s
Next year if you salute, you get free house with your permanent US Visa.
"Whew! We were finally able to save the white and rich. Mission accomplished!"
The point here is telling people that Rubio penalised pro-gaza people but now is accepting an anti-jewosh person?
At least they are not trans... that would be the worst
"...but I'm sure some are good people."
Do any of these “refugees” have musk as a last name?
If the Jews run the world…guess who you can thank for getting you into the US
Is his name Elon?
