    I’m a Jew and pretty sensitive to antisemitism, even dogwhistles. I admit I don’t go to lemmy.ml very often, but from what I’ve seen from lemmy.ml posters posting on lemmy.world, there’s been no antisemitism at all. In fact, I have not seen any antisemitism from anyone here that I can recall, which is pretty amazing in and of itself.

    Opposition to Israel’s genocidal regime is not antisemitism.

      Yeah. I am really sick of seeing the argument that any condemnation of the government of Israel is anti-Semitic. It has nothing to do with them being Jewish and everything to do with how they have handled that conflict over the years.

      Go actually look at the .ml worldnews community. There is full mask off “death to Israel” shit all over the place.

        “Death to Israel” is also not antisemitic. Jews are not Israelis and Israelis are not Jews. I am not an Israeli. I have no ties or allegiances to Israel, nor do I want them. I think “death to Israel” is an extremist viewpoint, but not an antisemitic one.

          Depends on who’s saying it, but not necessarily an anti-semitic phrase, sure.

          When shouted by some dude at a campus protest in a nation two thousand miles away, probably not.

          However, when Hamas or the Houthis say it, it definitely is.

              1: Kind of like saying there can’t be white on white racism.

              2: Only nerds know that Palestinians and Arabs in general are also Semitic.

              It does rather point out how stupid all this irredentism is though. These are ultimately all descendants of the same peoples, killing each other over the same God.

      You should go to Indonesia and feel the anti Jew from the second you land. 🤭

      Mind that the antisemitism always comes from Muslims, non Muslims would do nothing
