And I would complain about the false accusation if that was the case. As it stands "antisemitism" is what's being used to label people who oppose Zionism. It's just like how "communism" was used during McCarthy

Right, so the word as it's used today is what we're talking about. It's being used as a weapon to silence criticism of Israel and Zionism in general.

That's the point, it doesn't matter what the origin was, how it is being used now is what is being critiqued.

They are the main institutions using the term as a weapon, and the discussion here is based on Netanyahu's own words.

So all of these Jewish institutions are promoting an anti Jewish word? Please explain why they would do that.
157.
by newspaper1 2y ago
How could that possibly be true when the only people perpetuating this word are groups like the ADL, Israel... If what you said was true, all of these Zionist institutions wouldn't be promoting it.

War at its core is not a murder contest. You have to be strategic and you have to deal with the reality of trying to govern any conquered subjects which historically hasn't been very successful in the long term. In a globally connected

So you think Israel will start attacking European countries? I don't think that would work out well for them.

Yep, it was House Resolution 1449 if anyone is curious. Really scary times to see our freedoms eroded like this: https://x.com/RepRashida/status/1859362185178439786

Yes, because they want to operate outside the rule of international law.

There's a large attempt to pin all of this on Netanyahu and his closest cabinet but what he's saying is pretty much supported by nearly all of Israeli society down to individual citizens. I encourage everyone to find people who li

What consequences? Even Trump isn't going to go to war for Netanyahu.

Gallant's position is that there are no innocent people in Gaza and that they should be starved to death. He's said this many times: https://x.com/KhalilJeries/status/1853905224320372923

Children were wounded and killed because they picked up these pagers (which they assumed to be safe). Explosives were distributed into public disguised as innocuous consumer devices, it's actually not that complicated.

That's not what they said. Pagers are used by civilians, no one would be on guard around them, they are not considered to be weapons. If you saw someone in a grocery store with a pager, you wouldn't distance yourself from them.

How would you even know which network a pager was on just by looking at it? They were thousands of bombs disguised as consumer devices in circulation in public. There are new reports that other consumer devices may also have been rigged wit

A pager is a piece of consumer electronics definitely associated with civilian use. There's a story about a little girl who tried to hand her dad his pager from the dinner table and it blew up in her face. Civilians will not expect con

When have thousands of consumer devices, in public circulation, been covert bombs set off in unison? This is far, far outside of the norms of warfare. To the parent's point, I'm looking at my iPhone thinking that Israel would murd

What history? I don't even normally comment but this was crazy and horrible. I'm aware that companies have offices in Israel. I think that's quickly going to become a bygone era though. In fact, Intel just canceled a new Isra

If a bomb blew up next to me in a grocery store, even if I wasn't injured, I'd consider myself "targeted" and that the people who exploded it were my enemy. Imagine that actually happening while you were at Safeway.

Anyone can pick up a history book to see that I'm correct.

I wouldn't be surprised if this went well beyond Lebanon. It's time to start really scrutinizing our tech supply chain. I won't use any Israeli tech going forward.

Massive, massive L for Israel. No one in their right mind is going to use Israeli tech or products going forward. They just devastated their own economy.

The IDF has killed orders of magnitude more civilians than Hamas.
