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.

Okay, then liberate Palestine!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

Sorry bud, the word "Palestine" is also now antisemitic-- and is itself a call for genocide , I'm told.

I wish I was kidding.

Someone no doubt once argued against Antisemitic law with the reasoning that it could be used to justify whatever those in power wanted and that was not a wise risk to take. Someone else said 'shut up, you racist' and passed the laws.

Those people armed their opponents with the very weapons that would be used against them. Congrats, liberals. Your unwise use of power has empowered the unwise.

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."

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day 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.

"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.

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

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

Are Republicans against being free?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.

Next up, Republicans prepare bill declaring "Black Lives Matter" is racist against white people.

Nazi lives don't matter

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.

Didn't Orwell have something to say about redefining words and phrases. Well, even if he didn't, yikes.
