Watching people be like "Free Palestine" and "Fuck Israel" on a post that literally just says "Shabbat Shalom" is a good reminder that leftist circles aren't immune to antisemitism And to be clear, the problem isn't them saying that, but implicitly tying any Jewish practice to the modern Israel - ThreadSky

Hard agree. As much as I am an extremely pro Palestine person, I cannot think of a real reason to do something like that on an unrelated post by a Jewish person. It's literally just an excuse to be anti-Semitic. Go bully an Israeli government official, not some random cooking youtuber.

You can always cyberbully Netanyahu

It is always morally correct

Saying Free Palestine and Fuck Israel are good

Saying it on a post that's just a normal Jewish celebration is fucking stupid

The Internet has poisoned some people's minds. They can't separate individuals from blanket statements anymore. The point of leftism is to help at an individual level wherever you can, and set up systems to give support to others where you can't help. Blanket statements are often opposed to this

The one exception is repeated intolerance. If someone shows they are not willing to learn to accept others, then you gotta push them out.

Indeed. The main problem is the country itself, Isreal, being sh-tty. Not jewish people.

people who can't seperate Jewish and Zionism are closeted Nazis who just wanna use this war as an excuse to be openly antisemitic

Yeah, the willingness to conflate zionism and Jewish belief overall is incredibly saddening. It's just a fallacy of composition and it's a display of the worst base of human hatred.

Literally the same trap the zionists are falling for (e.g. "they're all bad!").
