"Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic"

That's funny, I don't see you criticizing Russia the same way. I don't see you criticizing China the same way. Afghanistan. Syria. Yemen. Iraq. Iran. Turkmenistan. North Korea. The list goes on

Wonder why that is. Could it be... antisemitism?

[autisticexpression2]

Did you miss when Russian immigrants were being harassed? Have you not seen all the racism against the Chinese online? Do you not remember how Islamophobic people were during the Afghan war?

Shut the fuck up and stop committing genocide.

[keys-nonsense]

"Have you missed russian immigrants being harassed?"

That's interesting as I'm russian myself, dumbass, tell me more about how we, russians, are firebombed at protests, blocked from student campuses, called baby killers, vermin, how russian neighborhoods are filled with people screaming for our blood, how random russians are blocked from cafes and stopped in the streets and harassed over Putin's war simply because they're russian.

Ну давай. Расскажи мне, русскому человеку, о притеснениях русских иммигрантов. Может ещё заведешь мне путинскую шарманку, про то, как русскоязычных везде притесняют и обижают, а? Ну так, если совсем мозгов нет. А судя по тебе мозгов реально нет и вряд ли когда-то были

Пиздуй в свою Пластелину и освобождай от выдуманного геноцида, а не сиди в тумбе и рассказывай русским, как их везде якобы ненавидят. Борец за свободу хренов

Indeed. Where are all the articles about the Russian Tearoom getting its windows smashed and patrons called genocidal pedophiles?

Where are all the articles about Orthodox Churches in financial crisis because they can't afford the security measures they need to not get killed for congregating?

Where are the stories about people being beaten in the streets for the crime of speaking Russian in public places?

How many Russian restaurants have had to close in the past three years due to constant harassment, vandalism, and threats? Because I can think of five kosher restaurants that closed off the top of my head, and if I did some research I bet I'd find way more. How many times has someone tried to blow up a Russian daycare? Has anyone ever shot up a Russian holiday party? Raped a teenage girl for being Russian? Tried to poison their employer's family for being Russian? Been caught on tape saying they'd let their Russian patients die? I could go on and on and on but I know the answer.

call me a killjoy but if my "friends" drew swastikas on each other as funny jokes in a "social setting" they wouldn't be my friends anymore 🫠 wild.

(the Hudson Williams thing is a non-story, but this attitude about swastikas just being silly things young men do is crazy work).

[chutzpahchesed]

the thread this was on in r/television was taken down, but all of the comments like this were equally disturbing and talking about how it’s just “drunk teenage fun” and social bonding behavior and only “zios” get offended by it.

the one empathetic, intelligent comment pushing back against that idea and saying we shouldn’t normalize this, and that it’s appropriate to apologize for a situation where hate symbols are involved, and that we should be more careful not to model this as a joke or as laudable, was downvoted to oblivion, and had nasty responses.

admittedly I don’t watch HR, and I’m not shaming Hudson Williams (it’s whoever drew that on him that made the bad choice anyway), but as the tags above say, this isn’t about him. it is, however, about how far too many people dismiss or diminish concerns about hate if that hatred is antisemitism. it is about how the Holocaust is so commodified, universalized, and even at times denied or justified, that people have no reaction to it other than an “lol boys will be boys.”

then the media pretends to wonder why these issues have gotten so bad, why extremism and white supremacy are on the rise, and why Jews are being targeted by hate crimes every day.

I don’t think the people writing comments like this wonder, though. they just don’t care.

Never forget: Moose are legit Ice Age megafauna that never died out.

He just….just….pet the wild moose…the bravery, the hutzpah

[vaspider]

If I could pet a moose

I would be very happy

[freekbugg]

[headspace-hotel]

Normally I would say you shouldn’t pet a wild animal, but the moose is already right there. If you’re that close to a moose’s snout you might as well pet it. If the moose wants to kill you, you’re going to die, so you might as well.

it actually is insane to me that it's a cultural norm for men to suck ass at getting their wives/gfs gifts. especially when they whine about how they have no idea what women like.

man, you're not getting a gift for Female Domestic Partner. you're getting a gift for Natalie, a person whom you have been married to for 7 years, whom has lived in the same home with you for a decade, whom speaks to you every day about her thoughts and interests, whom you presumably love, and whom you can directly or indirectly ask what she wants. it's not that you don't know what half the human population wants, that's irrelevant. you don't know what Natalie wants and that is inexcusable.

Another day, another violence-inciting, fake fact about Jews. Getting tired of the internet being over saturated with these.

[thatproudjew7042]

not only did Jews own all the slaves, they also owned all of the boats used to transfer slaves AND sold all the slaves to others. because yknow. the Jews™️

Apple propaganda notwithstanding, the reason tower PCs are big isn’t because they’re outdated. The reason tower PCs are so bulky is because they’re designed to be user serviceable. The case has lots of open space so your big, meaty hands can easily access all of the components, and everything is secured with friction-fit tabs and standard machine screws to minimise the need for specialised tools. A properly laid out tower PC is fully serviceable with a single Phillips-head screwdriver and no greater manual skill than your average Lego playset – heck, for some of the more modern case layouts you don’t even need the screwdriver, unless you’re performing major surgery like a full motherboard replacement.

Like, think about who benefits from convincing you that a fully modular computing device that can be serviced and repaired with your bare hands and minimal technical skill is unfashionable.

[gemlichbased]

There was once a time when Apple made user serviceable computers. Very user serviceable computers.

your daily reminder that kafka was a jew watching in real-time as jews became society's ungeziefers and were relegated to ghettos. Your daily reminder that ungeziefer is not just a bug, but vermin.

[zombiiibleh]

gawd damn if you hear a jewish prayer or saying that mentions Israel or Jerusalem and immediately go "ewww" I'm assuming you know nothing about the Israel/Palestine war and are anti-semitic.
