The seven-metre (23-foot) figure, packed with 14 kilograms (31 lb) of gunpowder, was part of a decades-old ceremony held on 5 April in El Burgo, a small town near the southern city of Malaga.

        That’s pretty much the Likud party line: everyone who’s not a trigger-happy ultranationalist is the enemy, who should be fought or manipulated. It’s identity paranoia at a level that makes even scumbags like the Serbs seem laid-back and welcoming.

    If they keep throwing around that word at every criticism, do they not realize they weaken their point a little bit every time. No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt. Israel is Israel’s problem. Destroying effigies of unpopular politicians is a tradition that dates back centuries, get over yourselves you big babies.

      The antisemites will be our allies

      -Theodor Herzl (paraphrased because I can’t be assed to get the original quote).

      No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt.

      They always have been; it just took a livestreamed genocide for Westerners to get the point.

        People have been sick of them for ages but a lot of politicians in the Western world, are, for some reason, beholden to Israel and have always criticised people who speak out against them. Even when that criticism is entirely justified and has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with specific individuals in the Israeli government, and their personal actions.

      It’s gotten the point where one must dig into every accusation of “antisemitism” to see if there’s really bigotry or if someone just pissed off the Zionists.

      If one must find out more every time one hears a word, that word’s utility is gone.

      that’s the plan.

      every time they kill a child on camera and say zionism==Judaism. they encourage people to become antisemitic. they then keep on going killing 1 in six people in Gaza. antisemitism grows. Antisemitic attacks increase, then their propaganda chants how only in Israel jews can be safe (demonstrably false). and get people to colonize new illegal settlements.

      Israel wants antisemitism. zionism was always antisemitic.

        they encourage people to become antisemitic

        It just makes me more strongly opposed to crimes against humanity. I still have close Jewish friends and former partners, and they’re all against these genocidal tactics.

    In Netanyahu’s mind, he is identical to Judaism.

    I don’t know why do many people insist on amplifying that message, it’s going to have absolutely terrible effects on ordinary Jewish people around the world.

    Well, I understand why people who hate Judaism would be spreading that idea, I guess.

      netanyahu and the far right israeli is stoking the fires of anti-semitism, so it legitimizes and allows them hide behind the shield of calling people antisemitic while they commit atrocities.

      Yep. Hardcore, yep. I think the average person supports Judaism as much as any other religion; “do your thing, don’t shove it down my throat. I respect you and your ideology.” At the same time, any reasonable informed person would celebrate Netenyahoo’s (I don’t care to spell the clowns name correctly) funeral. I think most of us are on the same page for most things, but media influence is real, and very bad.

    Based on Netanyahu’s logic, if Israel doesn’t want people to be anti-semetic, stop doing things to make people hate Israel.

    Being anti-semetic and simply hating Israel’s policies and those who implement and act them out are 2 very different things.

    Netanyahu is a fucking idiot.
