It's probably because Israel is openly committing crimes against humanity.
Hey now. That's...
*checks notes*
antisemitic to mention...?
It took much longer than it should have.
One of the greatest successes of Netanyahu (and catastrophic failing of pro-Gaza activists who accepted the narrative) is to equalize "support for Israel existing" and "support for genocide".
Yes the flip side is also true even on Lemmy. Opposition to states built on ethnic cleansing and genocide isn't bigotry against the ethnic group involved.
The number of times my comments have been called antisemitic or even banned is insane.
Periodic reminder for any children in the room, being jewish and the religion and history of judaism are "one" concept. Israel as a specific country with laws, streets, courts etc.. is a second concept.
Two concepts, not one
Correct. Conflating anti Zionism with anti semitism is a shield to protect Israel from scrutiny.
Whoa there buddy, distinguishing Israel from an entire religion that spans the world is anti-Semitic!
Are you suggesting there's a separation between church and state? howdareu
yeah it is the door over there everybody keeps pretending doesn't exist but everybody keeps blatantly using???
Zionists are pretty much modern nazis, straight up killing children on purpose because "they will grow up being terrorists", dehumanizing innocent people, it's fucking sad
I saw a video last night of a father holding the severed torso of his maybe six year old daughter. She was cut in half by an Israeli bomb. How even 20% of Europe can still support this slaughter is beyond me.
I can't watch those anymore, 20 years ago I had a better stomach, nowadays, I just fucking can't...
I'd be more surprised if it wasn't. Literal genocide is not a great look.
Good.
Because Western Europe is khhaaaaaamaaass
The Germans will need to be reminded of their Holocaust guilt, it seems

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
