Is this anti-semitism?

If I am allowed to hate a good many of the actions and policies of my own nation, while still feeling able to see many good traits and qualities in it and its people, then I can just as well hate many of the actions and policies of Israel without getting confused about whether I "hate jews". But, as a goy, if I criticize Israel's policies, I'm never going to be free of the suspicion that I'm just disguising that I am anti-semitic.

SUCH an aggravation!

I think it's a sophomoric cartoon, but it didn't make me uncomfortable. It's just another absurd political cartoon. That said, I didn't see it as a cartoon about Bibi desiring the death of Palestinians as an end to itself. I think it's suggesting he's building what he's building on the oppression of the Palestinians.

I do feel he is, to some extent, rallying people behind him by playing up an anti-Palestinian bent.

it's not like people use the term "americaists" in criticizing the USA

we prefer "imperialist dogs" thanks

what happened to "capitalist roaders" as an epithet?

Replaced by "capitalist pigdogs" iirc.

occupied peasants need to draw a distinction between local idiocy and colonial power

lol no tho seriously best of all possible worlds

spooky...

Also, this is anti-semitism: http://www.salon.com/2013/01/28/israel_admits_ethiopian_jewish_immigrants_were_given_birth_control_shots/

The article and the comments. Israel did not admit to coercively giving birth control to Ethiopian Jews, but clearly that's what the article wants to suggest and in exchange it gets a dozen comments that say, "Next up: Death camps for the Palestinians," "Man, that is no exaggeration! I wonder when they'll start tattooing numbers on people's arms," & "What a racist despicable cult; like the Nazis keeping the blood pure I guess."

Yeah there's a fair amount of anti semitism going on in those comments,

I think the anti semitism of the article is questionable though.

I'm aware this as already been discussed in other threads btw.

I think the headline and lead are designed to imply that Israel admitted to coercively giving birth control shots. That is certainly what my wife thought when I first showed her the headline.

Yeah, it's a shit headline, but it's Salon and they produce a load of misleading headlines. The article does attempt to back them up, but as was discussed in the other thread, there are dubious qualities to that.

At this point I would say again that anti-Israel doesn't mean anti-Semite.

There's a lot of anti-America imperialism wrapped up in the Israel question, and I don't think that comes down to hating Jews at all.

the whole strain of "jews are the REAL nazis" "thought" is so despicable and wearying no matter where you come down on the issue, i guess it's parallel to the "affirmative action is the REAL racism" bullshit

how do ppl in the UK feel about having one (1) legitimate newspaper for the whole country, alongside an assortment of Murdoch mouthpieces and aspirants

is that anti-Semitism? Is Rupert Murdoch Jewish? I wouldn't be shocked if he was tbh

because he controls the media?

the Indie's not that legitimate tbh

Rupert Murdoch isn't Jewish. In fact, his two youngest kids were baptised in the River Jordan while godfather Tony Blair watched.

and then a white dove landed on Tony's shoulder

Rupert Murdoch has previous for talking about the "Jew owned press", despite owning the press.

"Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?"

https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/270209388478857218

"",Jewish owned press" have been sternly criticised, suggesting link to Jewish reporters. Don't see this, but apologise unreservedly."

jop = nyt

he still has the ludicrous notion of himself as anti-establishment

nyt are his windmill of the day just as he tilted at various british grandees back in the day

The Entebbe raid of 1976, Broder wrote, was his “private awakening.” At Entebbe, the Palestinian terrorists and their European comrades made a selection: They spared non-Jewish passengers while they continued to hold the Jewish ones as hostages. The Palestinians couldn’t tell on the basis of last names whether passengers were Jewish or not, so one of their German collaborators, Wilfried Böse, helped them out. When a Jewish passenger showed Böse his death camp tattoo, Böse is supposed to have responded that he was no Nazi, but rather an “idealist.” U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, whose Nazi past later came under scrutiny, condemned the Israeli action as a violation of Ugandan sovereignty, and the German “anti-imperialist” left agreed with Waldheim. In the aftermath of the Israeli raid, German Maoists expressed their solidarity with “his excellency Idi Amin.”

Broder, in disgust, turned away from the radical left. In the German leftist imagination, he later argued, Gaza became the Warsaw Ghetto, and Palestinians became Jews. “Never again” came to mean “don’t let our victims do what we did”; Germans, Broder said, loved to reiterate “the eternal German worry about whether the Israelis have learned the lesson of history.” “The Israelis are responsible for anti-Semitism” is now, Broder declared, the most prevalent form of anti-Semitism, in Germany as elsewhere.
