Understanding global anti-Semitism

[Scootaloo]

14. You are hilarious, Shira

Well, maybe not hilarious - "laughable" is a better word, perhaps.

Yes, I know what the writer is talking about. That's what I'm calling out. To make the argument of a "new antisemitism" is to not only discount real, actual antisemitism targeting Jewish people, but it also discounts those people themselves, except when they can be exploited as props. Instead, it replaces them with the government of Israel, which is placed as the pinnacle of Jewishness, the sole expression of Judaic culture and being. To argue for this "new antisemitism" is essentially to say that Israeli policy is the definition of Jewishness, and thus criticism of that policy is hatred of Jews.

Thus to claim for this "new antisemitism" shit is not only just straight-up fascism - it values the state above the people, while equating that state's government with those people - but it is also inherently antisemitic, in that it creates a narrative where all Jews are defined by Israel's actions, while Jewish experience and expression outside the context of Israeli policy is discounted, devalued, and dismissed - including, unfortunately enough, their labors with actual antisemitism.

After all. They're not real Jews, according to the Zionist narrative. Hell, even your own posts make this clear - you simply cannot bring yourself to understand that not all Jews are Israelis (A majority aren't) nor can you get it through your head that even within Israel, Israeli policy does not speak for all Jews - and certainly does not do so worldwide. And when this is pointed out to you, you seem to stick your thumbs in your ears and go "LALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU YOU'RE LYING LALALALALALALALA."

Also, interesting that you disagree with Yehoshua's view of Jews. It's funny really, because under the logic you apply to everyone else around here, your admiration of the guy makes you a Jew-hating shit. How nice that, while you are handjobbing an antisemite, you get to say "yes, but I disagree with him on that, so it's okay." Huh. How odd. Nobody else around here would be granted an out like that. Why is that?
