From the xitter bio of Eve Barlow:

Journalist. Zionist. Feminist. Scottish.

So, yeah.

[-] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 54 points 2 months ago

Guaranteed that when she says she's a journalist she means propagandist/shill, and when she says she's a feminist she means TERF.

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago

Music journalist. Not a war correspondent.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

This is a blood libel!

[-] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Sounds like Eve's more solid on the first three and kinda iffy on being from Scotland.

[-] X@piefed.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's shite being Scottish! They're ruled by effete arseholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

i think we can all agree that we want cute little arab palestinian kids and jewish israeli kids to have long happy lives

amen

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

I think we should also extend that to the noncute children. Not their fault that they are not photogenic!

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

No. The ugly ones can wait in the car.

I think it's pretty antisemitic to ask them to explain themselves.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 months ago
[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

Lmao, the funny thing is I initially misread it as the other version for a second

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Lol I think that's gotta be the point

saying "these poor kids in palestine deserve to live" is NOT antisemitic NOR "blood libel" in any way, shape and form. seriously!

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

"well, by saying Palestinian children deserve to live, aren’t you saying israel is killing them? and, because as we all know, Jewish people and the state of israel are the same thing, you’re saying Jewish people are child killers!"

this is the logic these people operate on. i don’t know if they truly believe that israel is representative of all Jewish people, i don’t even know if they believe pro-Palestinian people believe that, but it doesn’t matter. because pretending that any criticism of israel is antisemitic helps muddy the water, helps distracting from the genocide israel is doing, helps israel keep its support ever so slightly longer.

the only people this rhetoric helps, besides obviously israel and its supporters, are actual antisemites, who now have an easier time than ever hiding behind the pro-Palestine movement. if someone points their antisemitism, thanks to zionists crying wolf, now you won’t know if it’s for real or not!

putting Jewish people on the altar of this disgusting rhetoric, all to defend a terrorist state murdering civilians. if hell exists, i hope they and the mass murderers they support rot in it for eternity.

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

i'm aware that jewish people are NOT the same as the country of israel, as there are jewish people who oppose israel and the country's actions under netanyahu. seriously!

[-] Vupware@lemmy.zip 48 points 2 months ago

The term “blood libel”, I don’t even know what it mean, to be honest, but I’ve never seen it used in a context that isn’t flat out ridiculous.

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 months ago

Blood Libel refers to the antisemitic trope that Jews eat Gentile babies. I doubt you can find anyone that thinks that now, but it was a very real rumor in the past and contributed to very real persecution across Europe

[-] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 months ago

I didn't know that term either. Now that you've defined it, I'm trying to make sense of that commenter. The best I can come up with is "You're not allowed to call out Israel for murdering children because in the past they were persecuted for a wrongful claim also involving murdered children." Which is an absolute bonkers claim.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 months ago

You have correctly interpreted it, it sounds bonkers because it is bonkers.

Your Government shouldn't be killing children.

How dare you say I eat babies!

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

now

i think you'll find that Oprah Winfrey peddled this in her Satanic Panic era.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Nowadays they think Dems eat babies.

[-] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I doubt you can find anyone that thinks that now

It's transformed into the adrenochrome conspiracy theory: a deep state cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles[^pedophiles] kidnaps and tortures children to harvest a chemical from their blood as a psychedelic, life-extending drug. Overlaps with Epstein coverup conspiracy, so still alive & kicking.

[^pedophiles]: liberal politicians, Hollywood elites, George Soros

[-] tgirlschierke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

blood libel is supposed to mean accusations that jewish people eat/drink blood (e.g. Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and one of the many factors that led to the current cultural idea of vampires). it's often mistakenly applied to people describing Israel as "bloodthirsty", but like, that term is universally used for evil of all different ethnicities and religions. that mistake then gets further abstracted into "being against genocide is blood libel".

Needs text alternative.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read this due to lack of alt text
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

classic weaponization of "antisemitism"
