The House of Representatives is trying to pass a resolution making the term “Free Palestine” an official antisemitic slogan.

Republican Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado introduced the resolution in the wake of the attack on a gathering for Israeli hostages in Boulder this week. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, has been charged for the attack, during which he yelled “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI.

“Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails,” the resolution reads. House Republicans are expected to vote on the nonbinding resolution next week.

Jewish man here.

FREE PALESTINE!

Israel is a terror state.

The USA is a rogue state.

Get your pitchforks.

This coming from the same motherfuckers that brought you classics like:

"We have to let the Nazis march in the park this weekend, freeze peach"

And

"The klan is just a bunch of good 'ol boys, they never hurt nobody"

And "Jews will not replace us," elon's nazi salute, nazi flags at their rallies, and "oh no, you've got it all wrong! I was totally born in 1988, that's why it's in my username. Ignore the 14."

Honestly, as much as I hate the opinions of Nazi's and Klansmen, I still support their rights to free speech. That's how it works. Otherwise you are doing the same "I'm free you are not" bullshit.

Inciting violence is not within that criteria, hate black ppl, jews, men, women, muslims or immigrants all you want, you're just showing the world how much of an ignorant uneducated dickhead you are but groups like the nazis do incite real violence against real people. Some people also manipulate real facts to suit their narrative.

We need to let people be clowns and treat them as such, laugh at them and if they're wrong their lies will be debunked. Stopping people from saying something won't change their mind, it'll convince them they're right. And if you can't argue against the opinion instead of silencing it you were probably wrong.

Speech isn't violence. Freedom of speech is words. Actions are different.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago

I also support the community ostracizing them and individuals punching them in the face for being Nazis and Klansmen.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah that's fine. lol

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Why were you down voted for that? It's ridiculous. It's literally a paraphrasing of Thomas Paine saying, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." FFS. That IS freedom of speech.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Because it's not that black or white. The Nazis and kkk murder innocent people. They don't only express themselves, they kill. Its not so simple. Yeah sure, if they don't act violent trying to fulfill their fantasy- they can express their opinion. But that's not really what's going on. Therefore you can't really compare the two. It's a naive thing to do, to compare them. Because they are completely different. The Gaza protests are not violent. Hamaz is violent. America created Israel, Israel murders Palestinians. But the protests are peacefull. It's a very dicy issue, but it's not the same. The question of freedom of speech is there. Other than that, it's very different.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

That's a nice opinion. Too bad it's wrong.

He only expressed his opinion about free speech. YOU amplified it into violence.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

What does the KKK stand for, as a belief? It's not love and compassion.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 4 hours ago

I don't care about fake internet points. I know I'm right.

You would think they would start with an easier one like "heil Hitler" being antisemitic, but they seem perfectly okay with that one.

You mean the "my heart goes out to you" gesture?

Palestinians are semites. Also being against genocide isn't antisemitism

[-] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Saving people a quick search.

What is meant by semitic people?

Semitic describes a group of languages — including Hebrew and Arabic — as well as the people who traditionally speak them. Semitic is rooted in the Biblical name Shem, the son of Noah, who is traditionally thought of as the direct ancestor of the Jews and Arabs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

"Semites" as a description of a set of people is as much antiquated a terminology as the word "Aryans". In fact it was Ernest Renan that first made that distinction in the 19th century to specifically frame history as a tension between Semites and Aryans (cf Hannah Arendt). It's of course just a bunch of scientific racism bollocks. And it is precisely because of that that the term "antisemitism" has always meant hatred of Jews in particular (in the "Jews vs Aryans" sense).

The only term that persists in the sciences today is the term "semitic languages", which is basically similar to "indo-european languages", and which of course has nothing to do with antisemitism.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago

This is just the right wing weaponizing accusations of antisemitism even as they, themselves, are antisemitic.

Remember kids, this is cheapening the word anti-Semitism and making it more and more meaningless. In the long run, this will hurt Jews. (Who do you think will be blamed by the fascists for US imperial over-extension?)

shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people

Holy fucking Moses. It absolutely does not call for that.

"I love X."

"Why do you hate and want to destroy Y, huh? You piece of shit, fuck X. Y is the best!"

Look guys, if the people who go around blaming Jews for trying to replace white people say Free Palestine is antisemitic, who are we to argue? I never knew space lasers could be so Jewish until the authorities on antisemitism enlightened me. Was it not a nutcase conservative who taught you the power of a few parenthesis? They're the experts here.
